I was wondering if "Steam" would be a good place to attract new players to the game?
"Steam" is a host for free digital games, especially the older and nostalgic games .... A "Steam" launcher comes with many "off the shelf" games and installs itself when games are installed (something that drives me nuts but seems to be industry standard now) and allows the user access to a world of (free) games. It also has it's own internet network. I am pretty sure there is no charge to "Myth of Soma" owner(s) although I have never tried to host a game. http://store.steampowered.com/ Just a thought anyway. 8) Ian (Jac)

Just putting it out there, but I am not sure legally they are allowed to do this as they don't own the copyrights to any of this game (please correct me if I am mistaken?!).
I thought this was just in theory a private server that has just been made as the main source?

Yeah unfortunately that would not be possible in any shape or form with this being a private server. When it comes to Steam it goes into the whole copyright side of things even if it was for free. The only possible way it could even be possible would be to get full permission from the original developers of Soma, something that would not be likely.

as far as i understand.. original owners of soma have been approached and acknowledge no idea of soma's existence.. Hence they dont recognise it and have no claim on what they '' dont even kno exists''. also.. the game has probably changed so much its a totally different game anyway..
Possible it could be registered as an independent game ..worth looking into if there's any legal beagles out there.. steam or some of these mmorpg sites would give mega advertising to soma. Well done and ty to dan and fin btw for the work they have.. and still putting into soma :D

What people need is an incentive to join the game! Why would they leave there fully secure game like wow or ff14 to join a private server which could go down at any point ( not saying it is). Instead of increasing rested level why not give them a lol 40 or 50 with same stats across the board and a wep of there choosing or offer to sell them, that way GMs are making money to put back into the game and make it bigger and better than esoma ever was.
for example I've asked my mates to join back to this server but there responses are "why would I put so much time and effort into it when I could lose all that work so quickly" In wow u can be lol 100 within a week from your level 90 boosted character and from there your in max level playing with the big boys raiding and having fun playing an mmo with other people instead of being somewhere on a map by yourself hitting someone being bored! Give the players what they want!

100% agree lv1-90 should be a lot easier a lot of people don't get past wbm on dsoma as they're being forced to punch or take the mob that's takes twice as long...
Although changes have now been made it should be a lot easier but is it enough?? |

Just tested wbm. They are just fine as they are now. yes they hit hard but the % is crazy
*edit* Just some advice: If you get slow earring,necky,underwear and do them 1 at a time ppl will be just fine :) |

Depends on time and motivation, believe it or not I only used a healer for one level at wbm that being level 88 the rest of my time there was done with good old fashioned pots. Point is it can be done and wbm now are even easier now being buffed at least twice since I was there.
100% agree that people need incentive to play and that applies to both newly joining players and those that have been sitting at level 100 for god knows how many months now.

Why give people lvl 40 or 50 chars with same stats i enjoy watching the differences in char building atm that would just mess everything up. IMO double rested leveling rates until lvl 50 and have normal rested until 75 - 80 if you want people to catch up easier.

Double exp sounds very good to me!

Double sounds a bit high as u can lvl to 50 in less then 2 weeks but i do think rested until lvl 60 is good and maybe make it 25% faster as it is now.
