Does this game have a future?

Yeah, as the title says. Do you see any long term future for swordsman? Will it develop a huge community like Perfect World, which is related?

I am asking because I personally do not like it very much. It is much too linear for me, the world feels segmented (lacking a huge free open map like various other games), and I just can't really get warm with it in general.

Opinions, please!

Cheers

With having something like Stools i assume that the section will have a second lift off since right now i think this section went pretty death, theres way less activity like there was earlier.

The tools would make it able for everyone to experimentate with anything that can be modified inside the game and maybe by then They patched up the game version and screwed eventually up which will give the private servers a chance to stand up like there is now on the PW section.

And lets be honest, howlong it took before Task-editors got shared or leaked out for pw, as far i know the only shared taskeditor i know is the one from Stools and the 1.5.1 editor from Davidarkk.. so theres still a huge diffirence between people who will have shared and those who will have full developed tools.

I have been working with someone and we have gotten pretty far on an elements editor. Now we need to find a way to compress the elements back to the original size.

There is hope!

Also for some Ducking reason I cant start the server anymore I get the damn time parse poop and I cant seem to fix it. Any Ideas?

Okay...

So you have tools but you don't share them tho you complain because some ppl that have tools and actually showed proof of the tools without GUI (where most likely not many ppl will be able to work with because they are used to a GUI) are not sharing them right away. That doesn't make sense right because you said yourself you won't share them because you ''promised'' someone that you won't share them.

Why would you name someone? Tbh i know @Swoosh91 did alot for the Perfect World section and he made the Swordsman Database for everyone to accesss... Not everything should come from him...

This section doesn't lift off yea we see that with so many sections on here.. its not just because ppl don't share tools that the section doesn't lift off, its also because swordsman is a harder game then the one's that are up now by most of the ppl that develop for PW for example...

Instead of complaining i would say:

Since you have a live server up and running.. Make a complete detailed tutorial with pictures and like a vmware.. everything fully explained.. no errors and full support on that thread and maybe someone might release their tools in the future...

Find out how to make the server run on ubuntu and most likely I will give a shot on it too... Atm the only reason why i'm not touching swordsman is due to the lack of information i have about the server side (only guide is made on CentOS... which where my knowledge is not into.)

anyway lets start making a topic with issues that are already found for swordsman so people who have problems can find their solution easy that would be nice for everyone i assume.

Magenik, I find your rage amusing.

There's no gui on any of my stuff, and I feel no need to slap one on. This game is worse population wise than PW, which means something

It's unfortunate, but even if the community had tools, nobody would have been able to attract players. Hell, even official server is empty.

I believe this section will be successful on a few notes.
1. Releases of addons and tools, 2. Success of the Official game.
The game is still a bit new, Giving a Wulin2 type styling, When it comes to another PWE game such as ESO, The files was released once the game was dying away, So it didn't have many hits.
Right now support and tools are needed to start the project, I'll see what I can do for this section, All games need a starting point. We have the files. So let's see what we can do with them!
The section is only just starting out, So no worries!

Blah. Can't resist, think I'm going to get into all this to. Blame Magenik.
