lol You never seem to get it. No pre-orders, no KickStarter, no Early Access unless it's of the free variety, no Cash shop, nothing like that. This is a Prototype not an actual game and It's something I am doing in my free time which I have very little of these days between school and family.

Wow, yeah, that last sentence really raised my confidence level.
Confidence in what? I am not attempting to show off a game here. I am showing off a Prototype I am working on by my self and getting no money for it. It's not my job at the present time though I am getting ready to head to college for a degree in things related to MMO Development. I have no set plans for a release of this prototype though I am hoping to test out the networking with a group of friends in the coming weeks. What it will become or how far I'll get on it is unclear and exactly what I want to do with it is still very much up in the air.

Confidence that you will ever, in your life, release anything remotely resembling a playable game. Didn't this thread start off with your latest game concept?
This thread started off with the concept I started out 9 months ago to prototype yes. Some changes have been made the biggest of which is the visual style going from cartoony to more realistic. But the concept I talked about in the beginning of this thread is the same concept I continue to strive for with this prototype. Again though how far I'll get with it or if I'll ever release it to more then just my friends is still unknown. I am just focused on getting things playable at the moment.
Never mind, I have realized what's happening. You're pretending to be an MMO developer for attention, and for a long time, we've given you that attention. Shame on us for falling for it. I won't continue to make that mistake.

Awesome... Just give up and let me continue working... Less negativity for me to respond to and try to defend against means more time to actually respond to people who care and are interested and more time to work.
Of all the things that someone might do with his free time, experimenting with game design is surely not the worst. Even if it never results in a launched game.
I really don't see why some people feel the need to insult JamesP for this. Yeah, he's started a lot of different things, none of which are launched games. So? Is there some rule that game development is so sacred that only paid professionals can be allowed to touch it?

After almost a week off for RL issues (School and the kids) I am back to work on this for the weekend. Not sure how much I'll get done this weekend since I am suffering from a Cold but I'll do what I can.
This was turned into Factions: Online. A soft launch of Early Access was done this evening. Servers will be online 24/7 from here on out with Fridays being the day I take them offline to upgrade the server software and whatever else needs to be done.
INTRO
You wake up along a strange beach greeted by the beauty and danger of the unknown world that sprawls out in front of you. A settlement is seen off in the distance surrounded by a forest of tall trees. You stagger, still dazed from your misfortune, toward the settlement where you meet a kind shop keeper. You hear a tale of danger and war which intrigues you.
It seems the land is controlled by 3 factions which have been in a constant state of war for centuries. You decide to learn more about these warring factions and set off on your quest.
FEATURES
Fight along side 1 of 3 factions
Fight over territory and resources
Construct your own kingdom
Dynamic World PvE events which requires the entire faction to come together and defend the realm
Battle over multiple continents, Islands, and Oceans
New Islands are constantly surfacing full of wonder, wealth, and dangers
Trade between settlements and protect caravans
Contract system
Auction House
Dynamic Questing and Exploration system
Factions: Online is now out in extremely early access

You don't say...
lol That was fast... You seem to have missed where I said "Unless it was of the free variety" another words I might decide to do a Early Access but if I did I wouldn't be charging for it which is exactly what I am doing. I am not asking for ANY money at all just go to itch.io download the client and play as much or as little as you want... No money at all will be required.

So is it a game now or a prototype? Just asking for a friend.
Also- Since you are in fact accepting money for the game (the default is just $2) what type of guarantees are you making that the server will stay up? MMOs are long term dedications of time. Will you personally guarantee that this server will stay up for the next 3-4 years?
Or will it potentially be turned off in 2 months as you move to the next "prototype"?

Just saw the rest of your post. I actually just shut off the ability to be able to donate. Before it was optional. You could download the client completely free of charge or donate however much you felt it was worth. At this point the game is no where near ready to start accepting even donations. As for guarantees honestly even triple A titles come and go no one can guarantee anything. I can say however that MMO Development is my passion and I don't plan on going any where any time soon.

Don’t be
ridiculous, no one has said such a thing.
You are aware
that his little “game developer” roleplay already costed a bunch of fools about
100,000$ trough a Kickstarter, right? People feel the need to “insult” him,
because his a scammer who can’t say good day without lying twice, couldn’t even
finish a space invaders clone and yet goes around announcing a new MMORPG every
couple of months while asking for donations and shit.

Will you have multiple packages with different tiers to buy into?
