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.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to have a look around. Welcome to CORE Transport, we are a Bus, trucking and Delivery corporation, focusing to become your main and #1 in public transport. Trucking and driving coaches is a specialty for us, all of us at Core Transport are enthusiasts of the road ahead, we make promises that we will keep and ensure our service is of the highest quality and wont be beaten. We are already hiring staff which will eventually begin work in the proper application number in-game. I hope you enjoy this comprehensive description of my corporation. Core Transport is a corporation who's main focus will be to become your #1 in transport. Not everyone will afford vehicles in Identity, so we want to give people the opportunity to travel with ease across the Island, the system below is a beta prototype and we will be trying a lot of new things to see what brings more satisfaction to possible future customers. We are happy to be the first announced transport corporation on the old forums, and we had the pleasure of having the first business post in this section of the forums. We are dedicated to our community and we hope to co-work with you all so that you too can build a transit system you would like to see. I started Core Transport because i have a passion in all things moving. A lot of my family are in the logistics and public transport business. Core transport is based on real world collected data, we have several written documents describing how our logistical and public transport system will work on identity based on the information that we have right now, and a special thanks to @Motown for answering a lot of private messages on the site which in turn helped shape Core Transport. We have some exciting news and updates coming shortly, so keep an eye on this section of the forums to be the first to find out new and exclusive information about Core Transport The following is a prototype of our system and how we would like to start off in Identity. ------Description of our Coach / City bus price lists and description of our system------ Once in the game I am planning on making the tickets BASED around these prices: ((CITY / CITY OUTSKIRTS BUS LINES)) - City service -Regular [$3.50]* (The ticket price may vary depending from where to where you are travelling) -Return [$6.50] (This ticket allows you to travel to your destination, and be able to travel back without buying another ticket, the price may also vary) -Day Saver [$25.00] (This ticket allows you to travel as much times as you want PER DAY in a specific ZONE, such as city, or countryside. The price may also vary) -Collaborative [$15.00] (If you are staff or part of a company that are partners with CORE Transport, you will get this ticket, with a discount instead of the Day Saver) -Weekly Bus Pass [$150.00]* (If you do the calculations -per day- this ticket will save you money if you travel with us a lot, the price may also vary.) -Event Pass [$450.00]* (Hosting an event? need transportation for ALL your guests? hire a CORE Bus with one of our bus drivers, and make as much trips as you want, from anywhere to anywhere in ONE day, this deal may have discounts) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ((INTER CITY/COACH LINES)) - Inter City service -Inter City One way [$39.00] (Priority boarding = extra [$5.50]* -Inter City Two way [45.00] (Priority boarding = extra [$10.00]* -Inter City Worker pass [$100.00] (Unlimited trips for TWO Days.) (Priority boarding = extra [$10.00] -Inter City Collaborative [$26.00]* (Priority boarding = extra [$10.00]) (This is the city worker pass, at a discounted price for Co. Partners) One baggage = [$4.50]* Two baggage's = [$8.50]* Three baggage's = [$12.00]* (Prices may vary from time to time) (Special offers will be held for ALL of the above*) On-board meals will be served free of charge if travelling over 80km2* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DAILY SPECIAL DEALS, OFFERS, AND MILES) If you travel daily with CORE Transport, for every mile you earn on your membership card, you earn points, point can later be redeemed to have free bus trips, free meals, free priority boarding or free baggage's. Every week, CORE Transport has a Friday and Sunday special which offers you a TWO WAY trips with any Inter city coach, for only $35.00, price includes vat, baggage and parking (if any) -----------Description of our Logistics system and how it works----------- Logistics - Deliveries and their cost: The way we will be calculating our deliveries cost is not by weight or type of goods but rather by how much room it will take in the truck trailer / van. Space in the truck trailer and van are divided into 6 zones, the costs would be as followed: SPACES 1 = 50$ | 4 = 400 2 = 150$ | 5 = 750 3 = 250$ | 6 = 1,000 Prices will be negotiable, and this is all a prototype. all feedback is much appreciated. Roles and procedures of the Logistical Driver. (1) The Depot: Drivers will collect their asset (vehicle) belonging to the C.T. Corporation at the start of their shift after the yard master / secretary* gives them their Driver Reference Nr and permission to depart from the Yard, once the driver receives his/her instructions then departure is permitted by the Security Guard. (2) The warehouse: The warehouse operators would be loading the truck before the driver arrives. Small vans or other truck drivers would be assigned to bring smaller goods to a company owned warehouse where the customers goods would be distributed to their final location. But it is possible to deliver directly from Factory > Destination if the payment reaches minimum for that process to occur. Its an important job to ensure that goods are loaded efficiently and effectively. (3) Secure Driver Procedure: When any driver enters a yard or distribution centre a driver number must be given, along with the vehicles registration plates and what kind of cargo is being transported. Core Transport is a 100% legal company and it is up to the Security Officer to ensure that no illegal contraband is ever transported. Heavy fines would apply for any contraband that would be attempted to transport. When trucks arrive and depart they are heavily checked by security officers to ensure the safety of the driver and compliance with the law. Dockets would be printed out for drivers with ALL the information they need to take off. This is not the finalized version of the C.T. system description. a logo and the full description will be uploaded in weeks to come.

So as there are these perspectives and desires, to make money, to protect money, to find money- as is- is there a way, or going to be a way for way a criminal to hide, after just robbing a convenience store, or a way for police to remain undetected until they know the criminals are coming down so-so alley way, and are practically right next to them? As a opportunistic person, I feel being able to hide or be hidden and learn how the world is, where to hide at, will make for a rather unique twist to the mmorpg. And the ability to use stealth in other games, dishonored for example, made it that much more suspensful and creative (is the enemy going to come around this corner and see me, at all? Or notice me just enough? Or can I make a quick escape from this patrol group?) Just something I'd love to see in a game like this, especially where the criminal branch is actually kind of desired.

Hello there @KevinLangston, @KevinOB and @157C! Had Motown take a look and you should now be able to indefinitely edit your own posts and replies again, we apologize for this inconvenience! Kind regards, DJScias

Hello there, I'm not sure if the hardships with editing your own posts after refreshing/leaving the page are intended. I'll forward and ask! Kind regards, DJScias

Greetings 157C/Chris - it's good to have you onboard

A PIANO! AND A VIOLIN! YES! YES! YEEESH! I want classic music! Ah! Sitting on a nice chair with classic music, whiskey and cigar! Oh! How I look forward to this.

Welcome back, my muchacho! Enjoy the new forums - they're great!

@DrFelixPhD Okay, so the processor and GPU you have is fine for modest settings on all games, just don't expect fireworks, especially on the likes of triple A titles or poorly optimised titles. If you have any money spare though I recommend you switch to Intel, you won't regret it. AMD have been known to release tech which is cheaper than Intel, but at the same time run hotter and draw more power. For your RAM use 2x4gb not 1x8, as the modules will run in tandem then which is faster to load random memory than a single module. Everything else is fine, power supply should be enough and yes use the provided CPU cooler, just be careful if you overclock though. Good reviews on the mobo, which comes with the bigger price i suppose, has three PCI slots which is enough for all three of your GPU, sound card and wireless card. HOWEVER I found with my motherboard that my 970 covered up one of the slots meaning I essentially had 2 slots, not three. Your card will be smaller than mine though, so not to worry. Oh yes, is this a build to be sent off and assembled btw?

Hello there, We currently do not have a Teamspeak server, nor Ventrilo or Discord for that matter. This may happen in the future, but there currently is no real ETA discussed when this may or not happen. Kind regards, DJScias

As we said about a Discord, not yet, no. Although there might be one on the way

As I recall, the Skylake CPUs are quite badly designed - there were loads of reports from people saying that they were sort of bending/melting under the weight of some CPU coolers. Really aren't worth it considering how little difference there is between it and the last generation of processors.

@DrFelixPhD Yup, as I said EA's competitor

Hallo, guten Tag Robert! Anyways, wishing you a big welcome from Sweden. Auf Wiedersehen

Although the first module is supposed to be coming out relatively soon - keep your eyes open

Greetings! Awesome to have you joining us! If you ever need a job without any troubles ( more less than likely ) then contact me! Best regard John Gotti aka FlyingDuck

I think this is the best forum I've ever seen . Most forums I have seen were to complicated.

i think that a finite amount of bilbordes plotted around the map with the image quality lowered would be good. at least then they can controll how much memory is needed

Just write d1ck instead of dick

That would be sweet Ye lets keep those greedy facebook owners away

I post highlights from the stream on YouTube.

Do a comic about the opportunity in this game, Like you and your friends decide to go out camping for the first time but don't know about bears. Not gorey tho. Or perhaps the rich yacht guy that all the low wealthed players are attracted to, and he pulls up the yacht ladder and a shark gets everyone. And he has no clue, this dropping the ladder when it's all good. Or draw a comic about some dude making meth in the boonies and then blowing himself up cause he's a tweaker. Or what Will a small robbery involving cops be like? Police"hands up!" Theif"what? Who me?" Police"yeah, get on the ground!" Theif"uhm? No?" Police"maybe it's not him...." Get jiggy wit it

Hello there, Well, this issue can be explained into two parts: 1. Official Servers As far as my knowledge goes, and mind you I may still be wrong as this is old information from our old forums, the official servers will be moderated by a dedicated team of in-game Identity Staff. This is akin to most MMO's where you have "GM's" keep the peace by making sure everything falls within rules. 2. Private Servers All moderation that happens falls under the responsibility of said server's owner and the people they appoint in the position as 'administrator', 'moderator' or whatever they would like to call their peacekeepers. The quality and bias-level of this is not necessarily better or worse but keep in mind that these people usually are volunteers who also have a Real-Life to attend to and perhaps don't have much of their day to spent on doing this (I am in this position myself as one of the volunteer administrators from Asylum Entertainment's "Altis Life" community). I think it suffices to say that you should not worry too much about the Official Servers, I'm sure they'll be watched well. I however cannot say anything about how a Private Server will do as that will be all up to the their owners and their teams of course. Best thing to do is wait and see, of course. But nevertheless, you've raised a very good question! Kind regards, DJScias

We have discovered that some email services (ex: AOL, Yahoo) automatically blacklist mass email servers that they believe to be distribution large amounts of spam. We believe that this is the root of the problem for those who have not yet received an account verification email. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience! Edit: Verification emails should begin to be sent out to those who have not received them. If you still haven't received your email, please try to request a new verification email.

Lol, fist, i'm sure they'll fix it.

Thanks

Click so far it's on this, might change later.

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

I cant wait to see how a bodyguard system will be implemented in identity and the special abilities and animations bodyguards will have.

You fucking legends What Vix said basically.

How about this- we act all friendly to earn his trust and think we're his friends (he definitely doesn't have any so he'll be gullible), then we invite him to DST server and play together. When he goes afk we build grass walls around him and once he's back we SET EVERYTHING ON FIRE AND WATCH HIM BURRRRN, LOOK AT HIS FLESH TURN RED AND SLOWLY DARKEN, HIS EYEBALLS MELTING OUT OF SCHOOL, HIS AGONIZING SCREAMS FILLING THE AIR! And then we steal all the stuff he had on him that didn't turn to ashes, ban him out of the server and continue playing like nothing ever happened.

Don't be a snitch, the pay is low, and your reputation goes down.

I am curious to see who will begin to run for the governor position. People should start campaigning and making a name for themselves now, so when election day comes in real identity, everyone will have a guy to vote for.

I doubt that. They wouldn't get payed while they are off duty. I am a police officer in Texas in real life and I always carry a weapon when im off duty. I am also authorized, and expected, to make an arrest if I witness a crime even when im not in uniform. Like they say - a police officer is NEVER fully off duty.
