My observation of this is that a lot of people happen to have eerily similar ideas about what Identity is, despite our initially vague explanation of the game. In many of these cases where we appear to agree with people and accept their suggestions, it's because their ideas are things we've already thought of and in many cases, have already implemented or written into Identity's game design document. We want our community to feel that Identity is their game too. We all funded this, together. It's yours as much as it is ours, and if that means eating our own pride to give you credit for an idea that is very similar to our own, it's important to us that you to feel that you've contributed to the project! There have been several ideas from the community that we have been very open minded towards, and want to make sure we include them as long as they compliment existing features and fit neatly into place. But please don't dismiss us as 'yes-men' trying to appeal to everyone at once! We've rejected more than we've accepted! Some ideas sound awesome in theory, but don't work out in practice. Probably the best example of this is the idea of working as an employee of a store owned by other players. That really does sound immersive, but the reality is, there isn't enough work we can give a player to do to keep them entertained in that position. You can only stand around waiting for customers for so long before you want to do something else! Most importantly, knowing that so many people seem to have the same ideas about what they expect to see in Identity, only strengthens our belief that we're on the right track! Now is the right time for a game like Identity!

The trains cannot be controlled only because a lot of player may rely on their schedule and giving control of that to players would cause all kinds of problems if a griefer got behind the... stick? The trains are not instant travel, but they're fast. They are actual trains driving through the land on a set schedule.

What about just calling it a Zwet then? "That'll be 10 Zwet please." Kind regards, DJScias

I don't think a governor should be able to go from raising taxes on healthcare to making it free, i think the devs will implement one or the other, and if there were taxes, the governor should just be able to edit how much.

I'll stick to the official servers because it will be more fair, and more regulated for rule breaking. Private servers might have people who are friends of the owners getting free money and houses and stuff.

It will be approx 250x250 km squared. About as big as altis life, or arma 3 life. VERY BIG. Also, hitmen will exist, it will be highly illegal to hire one, but you will be able to do it, just make sure it's not an undercover cop

The modules will be the first look into the game, allowing you to make your character, and walk around town square, and do many things, and this will be relatively soon, and there are currently 3 modules set to be released. Can't Wait!

You can move around. There are even some minor things to do on the train while you wait.

LOL!!

That would be cool, having to get skills from say school or something to know how to craft those types of items.

Dealing weapons would be a very profitable business id you know how to do it efficiently. This will be one of many things my crime family will take part in.

I think you will have to get schooling some way before being able to run for governor or else there would be hundreds of people trying to run.

Identity will have official servers in each continent.

Mining sounds interesting, like a big tunnel you go into with a truck, and mine ores and stuff.

Living off the grid = Illegal shit be happenin!!!

It's nice to be here on this beautiful website. The people are great, and the forums are blooming. I'm Kevin Langston, the don of the Langston Family, or Dark Ace Mafia. I plan to run the crime in identity, make friends, allies, and enemies, just like everyone else. Can't wait to meet you all there.

So animals are introduced, and vehicles are obvious, but what about animals being the vehicle? Odd, but I feel it adds to the life likeness that you don't need a car, or any metallic machine- but a bloody horse! Just curious if this is a good or bad idea..

Indeed - here's to hoping they allow lawyers in the game...

Being able to compose your own music would be awesome, but the ability to use premade songs would also be really cool. If they had a composing system in game, they could make it so that you could share music you made with other people to play, or maybe even sell it. Plus, that would allow people to transcribe songs that already exist so that you can play them as well!

@Notering You sir are about to get followed

Welcome back, hope you are liking the new website and forums!

Welcome back!

Man, fuck the pohlice - I gotta get me some of that sweet, sweet mohney

@DrFelixPhD Holla Holla throw us some VanDolla

Awesome. Glad to have you with us. Welcome! Looking forward to seeing you in-game sometime.

Beta should be here late 2016 or early 2017. As far as modules, take a look here. Motown said they hope to have the first module here by Q1 2016.

Late 2016/Early 2017 they have written on their twitter!

would be cool to see you actually having to catch a scedualed train instead of going to a train station and "fast traveling" there. you actually have to sit on the train and wait til your stop. that'd be awesome

i assume you would faint before death, requireing paramedics to revive you before you die. i also like the idea of things happening to you over time if you have not eaten in a while, such as slugish movement, blured vision ect

LOL! Thank you everyone! I love these gifs! That one with the girl gamer is slightly true.. hahaha!

Lol, the low class people swimming trying to invade, you just pull the ladder up.

I think it will be like real life, if it is a he said she said, they cant do anything, if there are witnesses, then they can arrest you, if cops believe you are supplying drugs to dealers, then they can gather evidence and get a warrant to arrest you and search your cars, property, etc.

If that boat was in the game, no one would be on land LOL

I would love to see boats that you can catch a lot of fish in! Kinda like this one

Welcome! Your stay will be gladly appreciated!

Yes you will be able to record these. Also when the full game comes out, i can't wait to stream this hard core all the time.

Thanks

That's mine: She's wearing purple, does voodoo and is surrounded by zombies. I mean, I HAD TO.

If I remember correctly, the standard issue pistol for the police is a Glock 17/19 while the Sheriff department uses the Beretta M9.

Just putting it as it is bro, nothing to do with me aha

Welcome Back, hope you stick around!

This is how you end wars, boys.

For those still wondering, you click on your name at the top right corner, click account settings, and then the fourth tab is where you can set up your signature

This is a great idea, because it will add to realism, and players will know, "gee, maybe i should not leave my car on the sidewalk". This would be very cool, and also if its illegally parked for only like 1 hour and not in the middle of the road, instead of being towed, they got a ticket on the window.

What can rep be used for?

I don't make resolutions. My only goal as to 2016 thus far is to buy a new PC aaaand... that's it.

Any maybe they could all be based on the different pledger statuses (e.g. VIP, Cabbie)? Very nice idea though I might just use that!

Wish i could like that post

I know that for sure, there will be no NPC cars on the roads, but there might be some NPC run shops that you could probably rob, and say you are the owner of a store, and selling a product, instead of standing in your store bored, you could probably have an npc run it with your set prices.
