<div class="IPBDescription">OMG!1111111 lol</div> Ok, so maybe he didn't really, but it's pretty damned close. lol.

Taken from the interview thingy on InGaming:

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The attention we've gotten from NS has opened up some new options for us though, so expect some exciting announcements in the future. Imagine an <b>going persistent war, with many battles happening simultaneously, a full chain of command, outdoor battles, dropships and vehicles, battle-ranked commanders</b>watch this space. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    While we're talking about nothing in particular, don't you just hate it when bits of fruit get stuck between your teeth? God really needs to balance out the bit-stickiness of fruit in the next version of Earth. Whenever he gets around to releasing it, that is.

    Hey, the thing just caught my eye. I'm not being serious. And this is too Ns related to go in the "Off Topic" forum

    If you think of this as him "robbing" your idea, why did you post it in the Suggestions and Ideas forum in the first place? Isn't that <i>exactly</i> what it's for? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That does sound very cool. And extremely hard to do.

    I'm not really bothered tbh, i think what i really wanted to know was, was it my suggestion that gave him the idea, or has he had it all along. If it was me, that would be pretty cool. Anyway, i'll shut up and let <b>other</b> people post <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    He had the idea all long. A while before release, or maybe at release, NSradio interviewed MonsE and one of the things he said was that Flay's ideas of NS are so large and expansive that he wants to have every battle effect something of a greater picture - like a campain. This has probably been on flays mind from the start.

    it sure looks amazing but that actually means half-life 1 has to be left behind in the process <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This isn't Flay's <b>or</b> stickman's idea, this was originally going to be implemented (or actually was implemented) in Bone Yards tell CD got the ax. This is the opposite of a new and unique idea, this is a very old (like as in ancient RPG/Strategy MUDs) and common idea. The problem has always been implementation.

    Yep. It is not a "new" idea.

    There are even previous games before Planetside that have those characteristics.

    That "idea" isn't new. The idea of a persistent world goes way back to Everquest. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It goes way beyond Everquest.

    You'd be hard pressed to actually pin down the first "attempt."
