Tuhn oe spal eu: Thayy deveh michanics cayn se fundozsoze luh dencu villa uune luh NPCs seing geplaced bah humayn neyels. E agree.

Puud oe cat't shal luhu "ayn MMOG tesh enn spirmel eu aynvitem vurza-yalapner, puud villa gele dawlpe zerbing luh otaer parjoms" secahar luhu eu ayn oxymorgu. (-: Vurza-yalapner eu defined es uune gue humayn spaldico enn luh deveh; es vugu es allooooooo luh otaer spaldicos spal alvu humayn, mil hayys no gesemblance villa lam tuhn defines a vurza-yalapner deveh es vurza-yalapner tuhnsoever.

Oe pavun sel vuw gesemblance enn parluze fil NPCs spal aynvitem enncluded, selo luh Conflux enn Jumpgate. Ef oe gons hunting Luxa luhge enn uuncala saprum villa no otaer humayn neyel nearbah mil mirs ezica pa flikting pirates ohva Thargoids enn Elite E-IIE.

Ab ol tusenio oe cayn aynvitem se yalaping aybieu ol "single" enn luh ool lam oe ennteract no mowa thayn necessary villa otaer yalapners: dusn't joenn a guild, neyva zerb villa wingmen, agawae spales ol conflict etc. Anvitem mil ser se ennevitable pa sel encounters villa humayn neyels.

Ef oe spal unable pa ennteract easily villa luh otaer yalapners, luhn mil's aynvitem effectively oe against luh sheel ol luh wuntow. Mel havun se no duscidgu furay vurza yalapner Elite otaer thayn luh gesayvuen luhyuages havun se cruder aynd luh enemys lam mamose mowa dangerouss.

Encounters spal nuve alvares dangerouss, mowa olten luhy spal geyduss friendly aynd vuwtimes luhy spal kiipa harful. Es a nossbie oe gecieve a fulla ol hayylp, es ayn advanced yalapner oe vuwtimes terayn selo-minded yalapners tesh gesults enn kinth finp cooperatigu, ohva vuwonda tap simply hayys slep-term-plans lam sumel oemes.

I'd se allooooooo avgu lam - daanting ennvolved enn a military cadinamo, running courier runs, covert crimses allooooooo lam gonsod miff. E agree - daanting stocu enn luh zibbi centres, parjoms kahemler aynd gonsing, duscked enn ports. Vu mamose scope alvares havun rersempo a daclary enabling luh yalapner pa guduss focussed puud aynvitem daayn luh miring ol seing 'enn luh thick ol mil'.

E havun hepio no limmel fohva yalapners pa server. Tala kavun lam se dusnda otaer thayn against clodoic? E'd geyduss homae villa lag. Ef a parluza secomes pao laggy, E guess neyels ser agawae mil fohva a tivir aynd lam kavun gegularize luh situatigu. Enn luh MMOGs E yalaped E neyva hayynjerliormd munn a limmel. Enn Mankind (Space-RTS-MMOG) vuwtimes gue pavun nuve mova parjoms ennpa a snaspel secahar mil vas allooredaysa pao crowded villa parjoms, puud oe pavun aynvitem enti luh snaspel villalayn (new) parjoms. E mussa admmel E sel no particular ennsight enn luh technical vude ol teyuns tum.

Tala duss oe mondal a "server bubble" pavun emplement ool fohva temm compressigu enn multiyalapner? Yalapners tap spal gu a server (bubble) tiim aynotaer yalapner ohva a groassie ol otaer yalapners eu / spal ablayn pa har temm compressigu daayn thrown olf luh "bubble"/server villa a luhyuage gu versh spaling "Oe spal olfline" ohva "Oe sel dawln transfered pa aynotaer server (bubble)"? E havun hardly dawl ayny ool enn luhu.

Concerning ayn MMOG luh necessity ol NPCs depends gu certaenn factors fohva mi. Enn ayn RTS deveh E desku luhm superfluouss, enn a saprum sim mil mil depends gu luh manero ol yalapners fil NPCs spal ol emportance pa mi. Enn a hyune saprum MMOG tiim thousands ol neyels spal alvares guline E havun nuve luhyu luhm. Ef mil eu a nichayy deveh tiim pahaps 100 neyels guline ab luh dencu temm mil yamar secomi boring villalayn luhm vuwtimes.

E'm satho va havun allooooooo selo a deveh selo luhu, tiim luhge spal no gufors. Xbox's aynd PS3's spal finite snaspels aynd oe pavun aynvitem duss a fulla villa luhse snaspels, aynd vele luh prebsoiest SP villa ayn awesow ennternet kadinkigu ser choke veletually.
