 Continuum Questions and Answers
Posted by wald0 on Friday, April 27, 2001

As posted in the SWZ Message Board:

"1.do u have to reasign your nickname after downloading?

2.how long do they tend to keep updating ss with its dying population?

3.will there be less lag in zones *cough*"

1: No, nicknames and passwords are stored on the game server, and compliable with Continuum. The only thing you need to do is enter your name and password on the main screen. If you have forgotton your password, you can change it while IN a zone while on the Subspace client, by typing ?password=yourpasswordhere

2: As posted by DEAF:

""A year ago Subspace hit 1000 players, this was a historic event for us. It should also make people think how far we have come. Also make those other people out there that say Subspace is dying think over what they have said. Here we are a year later with 1000 easily hit nightly and peaking at approximately 1650 players."

3:Lag is not caused or fixed by the game client. Lag is primarily the result of faulty routers (not owned or controlled by the people who dictate what goes on in Subspace/Continuum).

Also, many people have been asking if the servers will "accept Continuum." As far as I know, there should be absolutely no trouble with Continuum interacting with the server. Also, and this should be dualy noted, the gameplay environment is almost exactly the same as Subspace, so there shouldn't be any problems. Most of the changes are new commands, and just new fun stuff :)

Many people have also been worried about scores and such. As with the nick/password ordeal, this info is stored on the server (that's why we have resets every two weeks, so they don't blow up, hehe).

Basically the idea is, don't worry about the new client, just enjoy it. All the problems have been solved by excrutiating beta testing in the past few months, and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

Well folks, enough with reading this, go download Continuum!! And tell all your friends!
