We started MidAge with seeing bigger than we could do, and I think this is a good lesson for us. We were basically aiming what a company like Blizzard could afford in development, the fact is that we don't have a big solid team like they do, and neither the funds.
We discussed long enough the decision to stop working on midage, this is also why we released the sources, if anyone wants to, he can take up MidAge and add features to it.
If you want to understand, our goal is to get to professional quality games in the future, we were taking MidAge seriously untill the critical problems appeared, and it revealed the big lacks we had : The team is too small. We could have recruited, we tried, but no one showed up with a serious modding past.
This, is the reason we stopped MidAge to downgrade to something that requires a less bigger core team to be started, and so far we're not starting the project itself, but doing tests around it so everyone can improve and be sure of what he will have to do in the project.
@Emz : I told to Jpiolho your offer, and it's him that will contact you I assume.
none the less it is still a good idea with good support, setting standards lower would make it easier. i dont see how making something now would be easier as you will just be making another project that will end up being abandoned. sure blizzard has alot of people but that for more than just the things you are trying to state. they have to fix bugs, enhance their game engine, bring out new ideas to keep people busy as well as they developed a game from scratch, not from an already built game mod that as you all stated would be easier than modding something like half life 2?.
skills as i see them are not to hard to make, if you can harvest wood from trees then it would be childs play for you to make a knife that added leather to your inventory and removed the corpse you skinned from the world (similar to wow if you think) you have one of the most successful ideas in the world and your ready to kill it? anyway if you can make me look bad by finishing midage or by making your new mod id be glad . you either see things to the finish or not at all because people dont want to waste their time and have forsaken hope.
ive looked at the mod and i cant believe you would kill this, the ultimate game and its dead already. Cmon people lets bring it back to life, i sure as anything dont care about now being a group or having a character name or even excelling skills yet but i want to see it progress. If its worth anything Anthracite your team has done one heck of a job making your mod cool so far
It's a shame that this was canceled :(
what's the link for Oldage?

Somewhere in the Gamemodes section.
Seriously, search before bumping like that.

I agree, you have made an awsome gamemode then just waste it.
This gamemode is one of the best ive ever seen.
Old Age is almost the same, if youre not tired of programming a gamemode like this, join them so they wont make the same mistake. It would be the best RPG gamemode ever made for GMod
This is just an idea, something i think would be awsome.

Technical, if 100,000 people play on the same server at different times, between the 64 slots, it could be an MMO. Unless its wow, most mmo servers dont have more than 64 people on at one time any way.
