Hello. I'm new to Neveron and it's really cool. I was just wondering if there is any consideration into putting together an offline version of the game or possibly an offline program that is used with better graphics and gui system to interact with the server? It's great being able to be able to access the game from anywhere but it would be cool if it was an option. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks for the cool game.

It's been discussed before, things like an updated GUI graphics pack you could download and others. It's a good idea but unfortunately it hasn't received much attention from the admins yet

if you wanted to put an offline GUI on it there'd be one hell of a lot of work involved, not to mention the bandwith stealing when 10 empires log on at the same time and try to upload all their recent changes. I'd be surprised if it didn't slow the game down for everyone. Good idea but probably not practical untill 45mbps becomes a reality...

Such ideas have been veto'd by the admins as it will open up cheating apparantly. Regardless of the fact you do all checking server side to eliminate cheating and it lets players have downloadable content to save on bandwidth costs.

We've never vetoed any such idea and would love to have an optional, enhanced game client. We haven't "paid it much attention yet" because its a fairly fru-fru project. There are still many many bugs and features that have a much higher priority.
