darkdreamingdan Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 yeah i wouldnt mind subscribing to a newsletter VCP FOREVER!
eAi Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Problem with a newsletter, as with any of these things, is its a commitment to produce interesting news... The devleopment of MTA isn't exactly the most exciting thing most people want to read about. Screenshots seem to be popular, but people seem to forget that they're just screenshots of San Andreas. The only way to make them look "exciting" is to add nametags...
Subwoofer Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Euhm where is the % development, wich was on the main page it was on like 70% i thought for blue and 87% for 0.5.5 or something, did you guys delete it
eAi Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Yes, because it was pointless and meant nothing. We haven't a clue when we'll be releasing, so us making up figures about how complete it is, then other people guessing from that an arbitary release date is so innacurate its pointless.
s0beit Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 oh good idea, now people can lose all hope. Kanye West does not care about white people.
njr1489 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 lol sobeit. A newsletter is better. This way, people don't lose all hope. VCK FORUMS
Black Dragon Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 just send emails whenever you post news on the front page, and/or stuff like "OMAGAD WE ADDED CLOTHES™", or "we now have 147891337 lines of code" or even "our netcode is cool like that, today i totally saw it move below 0.1kbps upload on a 10 people server".

Ow ok, well i think it's a good idea, don't give people false hope i still hope it won't take long anymore but anyways... Greetz
orappa Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I prefer the RSS idea for two reasons: 1) It's easier because you don't need to keep a database of people's email addresses and have to sort out stuff like de-subscription etc. 2) A newsletter would be expected to be sent on a regular basis MTA:SA FAQ - Read this before asking questions. MTA:SA Troubleshooting - Read this first if you have problems.
njr1489 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Newsletters should also wake up all those other 10,000 members that aren't around much. If its a weekly newsletter, no one will complain about updates cause it will always be in their mail. VCK FORUMS
Guest Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 This should prove to be the most awesome multi player out there as the single player is so fun....I can only imagine rival on line players skermishing for turf. Thank you for the developement!!!
orappa Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 You do know the first release will be have a racing mode only, right? MTA:SA FAQ - Read this before asking questions. MTA:SA Troubleshooting - Read this first if you have problems.
DrEaM4D Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 You do know the first release will be have a racing mode only, right? I don't hope so, gta is all about freedom right? Only a racing mode would ruin the fun imo.
