-->==== Exploits ====: Taking advantage of a bug or exploit, even if reported, can result in a character having skills reset, inventory/currency reset or even a permanent ban. We aren't going to be lenient on those who knowingly take advantage of a bug/exploit. If you find one, report it. Don't take a chance.:: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/1032-is-exploiting-broken-dungeons-ok#7698==== 32bit Operating Systems? ====: "We don't officially support 32bit Operating Systems at the moment, but do hope optimizations in the future will allow for it. : The problem is that Windows 7 32bit has a physical memory limit of 4GB. So, even if you have 8GB the system can't access it. That's the root of your issue and upgrading to a 64bit OS is your best bet for now." :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/support/993-love-the-game-about-to-quit-because-of-crashes#7398= Topic ===Permanent Choices ====: "When we say something is permanent or has disadvantages, it needs to be taken seriously. If you don't want to take a risk, even if it's not in-game yet, then I would suggest being conservative with your choices. : We are in alpha, there will be changes and unfortunately some of those changes could negatively impact your character. Sadly, that's the burden of testing an MMO. Especially one so early in development. : Traditionally, in MMO development, there's a wipe at launch so it doesn't really matter. Here, we aren't planning that route but we are also not planning on letting you remove permanent choices or negative consequences of skills. :There are a couple options: :1) Choose carefully, heed warnings, and don't expect skills to remain the same. Don't expect the ability to drop anything because of negative changes. : Source2) Play like it's an alpha, test everything, and create a new toon at launch. That way you'll know what you want and what you don't want." :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/community-questions-answers/949-lycanthropy-druid-skill-wipe?start=10#7162=== Topic = Lycanthropy Removal (Not going to happen). ====:" If it says its permanent, then move forward with that understanding. We won't have a way to remove Lycanthropy as it's designed (coded in a way) not to be. : Animal forms may also be permanent once leveled past 50, but that's not yet final. : Skills and animal forms are designed to have certain advantages and those come with disadvantages. We can't have really great aspects of a skill or animal form if people can easily take advantage of them and avoid the negative at will. : TLDR: heed the warnings and don't assume otherwise." ::http: Source//projectgorgon.com/forum/community-questions-answers/949-lycanthropy-druid-skill-wipe#7060==== Topic Skill Wipes ====:As we have previously stated, we don't plan on complete skill wipes. :: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/community-questions-answers/949-lycanthropy-druid-skill-wipe#7057==== Topic How can I email you? ====:[email protected]:: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/community-questions-answers/942-need-citan-and-silvonis-s-help-please-read#7010==== Topic Terms of Service ====:"We will be posting the Terms of Service in the future. :Meanwhile, intentional trolling, spamming, disruptive behavior, vulgar or racist language can and will result in a ban. : SourceIf you are unsure if what you are doing constitutes a violation, error on the side of caution." :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/901-image-boards-overzealous-moderation-bans-and-terms-of-service?start=20#6690=== Topic = Ban Appeals ====:We review ban appeals on a case by case basis and the review is initiated by emailing [email protected]. The review process can take time, and spamming the email account or our accounts on Twitter, Facebook and on Kickstarter won't make it happen any faster.:: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/901-image-boards-overzealous-moderation-bans-and-terms-of-service?start=10#6617==== Topic Steam Launcher ====:Steam will replace our current launcher through testing and onto launch. We may have a custom launcher sometime after launch, but I wouldn't worry about Steam as our early build doesn't show any memory leaks! :: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/new-and-announcements/633-project-gorgon-kickstarter-campaign-is-now-live?start=70#4788==== Topic Windows 10? ====:Windows 10 is supported, so any issues are very likely to be user specific or group specific. For anyone reading this looking for help, please follow the basic steps in the link that I posted previously in this thread.The log file is critical in solving issues. Thanks!:: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/support/637-game-quit-working-on-win10#4423==== Topic Can I Stream? ====:Please feel free to stream! We are already setup with Twitch, so you will be able to select Project Gorgon as the game being played. We just ask that you do acknowledge that it is early alpha, but other than that we don't have any restrictions on streaming. :: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/community-questions-answers/642-streamer-wondering-if-i-can-stream-the-alpha-on-twitch-tv#4288==== Topic Permanent Animal Forms ====:In order to make animal forms a truly unique experience with benefits, the choice really does need to be permanent. I understand, from a player perspective, that it would be great to have a toggle but from a developer perspective that would defeat the purpose behind animal forms. When you become an animal you will face difficulties normal players won't, but you'll also have unique abilities and experiences. If there was a toggle it would completely defeat the balance. As a side result, players may be more willing to create alt characters instead of trying to cram every possible experience into one character. :: Sourcehttp://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/611-permanent-spider-cows?start=10#4154==== Topic Why can't the game be free? ====:"I understand many people want Project Gorgon to be free, and I understand that there are AAA titles going free to play. There are major differences between Project Gorgon and those other games. First, we don't need hundreds of thousands of players to survive. Many of those major titles do, that's why they open the flood gates to get people in game. 2) Generally, ""Free 2 Play"" is not truly free to play. Typically there are several pay gates to access the full features of the game, not to mention true pay to win cash shops. We don't want Project Gorgon to be that type of MMO. Pay one price and then play the game. The VIP is optional and does have beneficial features but you can definitely experience the game without it.:I know everyone is hungry for more information, and we'll be posting details soon. Stay tuned." :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/494-sneak-peak-project-gorgon-kickstarter-video?start=20#3455==== Storage Space ====: "We've talked about storage space a lot in the past and I don't want to rehash everything, but having constrained non-centralized storage is a specific intentional element of the game. Players have to earn that extra space and even still you will have to make tough decisions on what to keep. I understand that it's become the ""norm"" to have nearly limitless storage in other games, but we have specific reasons to avoid that in Project Gorgon. : That said, we are still early in development and storage will continue to go through the development process. Keep the feedback coming." :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/370-so-i-had-this-brilliant-idea#2586==== Second Chances & Cheating ====: Generally, the principle of second chances is one that I typically agree with. However, we will not tolerate cheating in Project Gorgon. We gave warnings, both in-game and out. We are in early alpha and everyone who plays is helping us test and shape the development of Project Gorgon. When someone cheats to give themselves an advantage it doesn't just hurt the other players, it hurts the development process in numerous ways. We don't ban players lightly. When players knowingly break the rules, especially in such an egregious manner, we have to step in to ensure that the integrity of Project Gorgon is protected. :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/284-the-easy-way-out#2090==== Manipulation ====: Just a reminder, we don't allow discussions that relate to cheats, hacks, etc. As you know, Project Gorgon is in early alpha and the data we collect helps shape the future game design. When people manipulate the system that data is skewed and it really does hurt the development of the game. If you notice someone cheating, please report them immediately. :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/267-i-m-not-retiring#1966==== Why can't the game be free (again). ====: "I think that it's sometimes easy to overlook the fact that a lot of the top MMO's that transitioned into F2P (no mandatory subscription, limited non-subscription content) have or had an initial purchase cost. That also includes expansions. It is extremely difficult to have a completely f2p model with no upfront cost and just optional subscribers. : Sadly, there are certain decisions that some people just won't like. It seems we have a wide array of opinions on the matter and we appreciate the feedback. That said, we have a vision for Project Gorgon and all will be revealed in due time." :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/187-if-they-started-charging-tommorow?start=20#1052==== Valiance. ====: Project Gorgon is absolutely separate from Valiance as both are developed by separate organizations. The confusion likely derived from the fact that we both are affiliated with the SHOGN network, which works to promote and assist indie developers. We have allowed the Valiance team to use our MMO engine solution as part of our SHOGN network affiliation, but again they are a separate project. I hope that clears up any confusion. :: http: Source//projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/44-valiance-and-project-gorgon#216
