We have found NEVERDIE willing to answer some of your basic questions regarding the release of both planets developed by neverdiestudios. He's opted to do a planet at a time, one in October and one in November. We suggest we start with Next Island (as that was announced first), and then move to RockTropia in November. So, here's your chance to add your questions to the list, which we will then send to NEVERDIE, and as soon as he replies, we shall post the full interview on here. Be advised that we will make a preselection of your questions, so not neccessarily each and every question posted will make it into the final cut of the interview, but we shall try our best to ensure the questions will allow for as informative an article as possible. Ready, set, go :)
OK, this is a very good thing, but as he said to do a planet in October and November, I guess both planets will not be released before that. So, now lets get to the questions: first the obvious: when will NI be released :) ? and the serious ones: what will be the name of the new planet? will there be 1 or more continents? what will be the name of the continent(s)? the "theme" of Calypso is mythology, what will be the one on NI? how will we get to the new planet? will there be different skills then on Calypso and if yes, what are they? will it be easy/cheap to travel in time? will NI have the same "missions" MA is planning to add to Calypso? whats the "Time Travel Game Card" mentioned on the website? any chance of player created content? are you allowed to do anything with the planets you like or has MA given you some boundaries? any sneak peak possible for EP users?? will add some more if I think of any
hey :) I would like to know if CND somehow will be connected to NI or will still be an asteroide like now? Also will there be other mobs to hunt on NI and will it be possible to mine and craft too or is the game play different from what we know from Calypso? Will it be possible to move around in other ways than running/tp'ing? (cars, motorbikes? :D) Razer asked about the theme of NI - but I would like to know if there's a deeper history to support the theme on NI (not to make it look like NI just appeared from the blue sky ... even if we know it did ;) ) Is the egg connected to NI - and will we finaly know it's purpose? (sorry had to ask)
Will there be a new skill set? Will old skills still have use on NI. Quest system anyone? Will male ava's actually have a dick? or be helpless eunuchs?
Since most questions that interest me have already been asked above: Without the need of being specific, will any calypso equipment work in your worlds and will their stats remain the same?
Good stuff in here so far :) Any other questions? Otherwise, we will start working on rewording the questions to such a way that provokes the best and most informative response, and send it on to Mr. NEVERDIE.
FPC inherited the web based support and the ingame guides from MA. Is NI planning on having a different approach to community relations or do the same? Will there be a forum?
dear Mr. ND, I do not know anything about NI at this moment (sorry). I was wondering what will it be about and how it'll be connected to other planets (FPC for instance). I mean, will it be an island full of monkeys or books with wings floating in the air? will an existing FPC avatar be able to use existing equipment or skills there? if yes, will the BP of trooper footguards be available to loot on NI to finally complete the set? just out of the box - will the mindforce teleportation work there or will such action/force be "installed" and used for free by every book floating around there? just to start with =) J.
Exclusive interview with NEVERDIE about Next Island - News Interview with ND about NI. Nice responses to questions. I like the fact that he says clearly - "That's not my department" on a question instead blathering on with a nonsensical answer like some people would. Rocktropia questions next week?
