MTA Team jhxp Posted July 19, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted July 19, 2005 A newsletter would be also nice Link to comment
darkdreamingdan Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 yeah i wouldnt mind subscribing to a newsletter Link to comment
eAi Posted July 19, 2005 Share 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... Link to comment
Subwoofer Posted July 19, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment
eAi Posted July 19, 2005 Share 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 Share Posted July 19, 2005 oh good idea, now people can lose all hope. Link to comment
njr1489 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 lol sobeit. A newsletter is better. This way, people don't lose all hope. Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted July 20, 2005 Share 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".

orappa Posted July 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment
njr1489 Posted July 20, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment
Guest Posted August 20, 2005 Share 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!!! Link to comment
orappa Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 You do know the first release will be have a racing mode only, right? Link to comment
DrEaM4D Posted August 27, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment
MrJax Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 No it wouldn't, it'd be a great demo of Blue. Link to comment
