This sounds perfectly possible (not sure about the 50 players though). It has been suggested before, so if you search you'll see what other people said about it.

If you look at the ratings at the side, luckily most people disagree.

You have set the game version in the top right corner of the MTA client to 1.1, right?

Strangely, it used to run fast a long time ago (when I first got it).

That would be great for a MMORPG-style mode.

That doesn't make a difference as I always install it because it's compulsory in order to run GTA3:MTA.

I have that problem too. I have an Athlon XP 3000+, 512MB 333MHz DDR RAM and a GeForce FX 5900 128MB, and it is slightly juddery no matter whether I have the graphics on high or low settings. I don't get this with VC. What are the specs of your PC btw?

Yep, they're adding support for that (not sure about the bombs though).

2003 is required.

I don't think the progress bars are an accurate representation of development progress. The way I see it, 60% implies that they are now at the same point where they were 5 months ago, implying that no actual development has taken place during those months. I find this hard to believe. I think the problem is that progress takes place but it is not noted. Perhaps the progress bar should go up in steps of 5% instead of 10% so that they are updated more often?

The FAQ is out of date. We're on 0.4.1 now, available on the home page at the top: http://www.mtavc.com

I think it only accepts certain HTML code, if I remember rightly. I think they can add embed to the list of supported commands in the admin CP though (it's a long time since I used PHPBB).

Yeah, check this site out - it's a great source of information: http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

GTA3:MTA has a weapon buying system...

Bugger. I voted for MTA:VC because I thought you were talking about the illegal MTA:LC mod. I would have voted for GTA3 though.

Yes. They said that you start a shortcut to start MTA, kind of like you do now, except that it doesn't display the client dialog and just goes into the game. Don't worry, I misunderstood that on the Blue page too.

really? because last I heard that wasn't ture... It was first revealed by an unknown source (and hence possibly unreliable), but it did in fact turn out to be true.

I'm not sure if you could, due to MTA being clientside.

That's a great idea. Presumably pausing wouldn't be necessary though, as you wouldn't have actually spawned?

Yeah, that would be nearly 2 years-worth of development, which is crazy. I think that misconception was formed from the fact that most people think that it will not see a 2004 release (quite likely, in my opinion), and so stated that next year would be likely. I think people misunderstood and thought that this meant an extra year.

No, I think he meant that he also finds the Nazi statement offensive. I thought he was talking about what you said at first also, and I had to re-read it.
