    remembering my pass to this place was a bitch.. especially only having 5 tries.

    Anyways... 1st off, thanks to Doc Flabby for splitting discussion on this.

    2nd... I do not in anyway affiliate with the council. There are members there who'd rather turn everything into a big political battle rather than get things done. Not all, but many. That is why a small group of us function along side of it, and we're the ones who decided to e-mail them and what to ask of them. Before the e-mail was even sent though, it was already decided what their reply would most likely be depending on which stance we felt they'd take. Sadly, the stance they took was the one we had not hoped for. Though, this is only 1 set of e-mails, and MTN, Ghost Ship, and myself have yet to sit down and discuss what to reply back with yet.

    3rd... Its legit... I deleted a lot of his contact stuff outta there, (IE: telephone, fax, etc.) and the fact the e-mail I sent it to was a rapidshare.com e-mail, and the guy is the ceo, and his staff has been in YOUR zone talking to some of YOUR staff. So all in all, we took this as being pretty legit. I spent 3hrs researching the guy before even beginning to type the e-mail.

    4th... BDE owns SubSpace. Continuum is a clone of such game using SubSpace graphics. Though, as the original license from subspace said, we could use and modify such graphics as we wished as long as no profit was made. So as long as we don't do that, really BDE can't touch us, even if they wanted to.

    5th... Continuum source will NEVER be sold or released. Sadly to them, we couldn't do more than just hand over what we have and our zones. Not happening anyways, but eh. Skype and KaZaA are funnily enough, BASED a lot on our lovely game. Amongst the protocol, packing priit uses, etc. He releases continuum source, we got all of that. Continuum is as much important to him as his billion dollar baby.

    6th... Continuum .39 was finished, yes FINISHED, for 2yrs before Priit finally sent ghost the beta for me to distribute and do player testing on. Then after we found some issues with subgame not recognizing differences between different .39 versions, we asked him to change it to .40. So hence, Continuum .40. But amongst that point, Priit no longer takes time for this game like he use to, beyond activating some stuff on the biller he coded in ages ago. So really, I doubt he has paid much if any attention to these guys.

    And the list continues... but I'll stop there for now. Many of you messaged me asking about this, and I hope this answers some of your questions.

        This is indeed very interesting.. I really dont know what to say.

        Just to leave some comment here after I read this thread:

        - I would like to see playerbase grow +
        - This seems like a miracle to Subspace, however is it really true? +
        - As some stated in this thread, The emails look kinda "unprofessional" to me -
        - I highly doubt they will keep this free after all -


        As said, no one of us normal players have anything "say" here, But IMHO I look forward to see this happening. :turned:

          I don't even understand why some people say they don't like this idea/deal. What do we have to lose? This game is dying and we all know it, It will be dead in a year if nothing is done so any kind of action I think is positive.
          But as many has said, if it will be pay to play I won't pay to play it.

            I know everyone is thinking it so I'll just say it....

            Priit is a fucking machine! I'm gonna show my grandkids a screenshot of me playing with Priit. "Look at this George, grandpa is playing games online with a billionaire, isn't that something". After that I'll go collect my social welfare.

              The troubling thing about this whole RapidShare thing is that they're very vague with their intentions. They say they want the game to remain free, but that sounds like BS to me. What the hell is the point in taking over an online game, spending tons of money on legal fees, server costs and development costs, and then not trying to make money from it? How much do you want to bet they'd end up requiring a paid RapidShare account to play the game? Subspace failed as a commercial game 10 years ago, and what would be the difference now?

              Also, I'm willing to bet that if they somehow DID get legal ownership of Subspace, they're probably attempt to shutdown SSC/Continuum as we know it. Everything would probably have to run from their servers.

              I got to watch Infantry/Cosmic Rift be ruined by Sony after they took the games over from Harmless and started charging a monthly fee and incorporated it into the annoying Station system. The games were pretty much ruined, populations dropped, and it was just a disaster. If this Continuum/RapidShare thing actually went through, it would probably be the end of the game.

              Anyway, this is probably all completely moot as I doubt they'll ever get a response from PriitK anyway.

                  The thing is the game is gonna die anyway in approx. a year. Do we want to sit around here and watch as continuum dies slowly or do we want to take a BIG risk which is 1% in succeeding and 99% in failing? I dunno.

                      • The subspace future

                        Option 1: wait 5 mins to play SS for free. 1 play per day. No reconnecting.

                        Option 2: 1 month membership unlimited plays for one month! $5.66/£2.88!

                        Option 3: 6 month membership unlimited plays for one month! $15.54/£8.83!

                        Option 3: 12 month membership unlimited plays for one month! $25.89/£17.01!
                        Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.:fear:

                        • SubSpace was suppose to die in 98
                          SubSpace was suppose to die in early '00
                          Continuum was suppose to die in 03, 04, 05, no wait 06? Gotta be 07
                          Continuum was suppose to be dead in 08

                          Its 2009 and we're still here. This game has outlived every expectation, and I think "Cult of the Final Call" has dissolved by now from getting tired of waiting, lol.

                          • It could conceivably make money for them even as a free game if it just got people to their site where they could sell ad space and/or draw a certain percentage of people into other things. Gateway drug analogy.

                              • another quick thought - if the CEO loves SS so much, why don't we simply ask him to advert the game and its websites on Rapidshare instead of trying to acquire it?

                                Also in terms of profitting off of this game, isn't that what twsites.com is doing? Or does that go 100% toward service costs so in that sense it's fine?
