There are alot of games out there where you level up, obtain weapons, get more powerful, and challenge players, sorta like league of legends, wartune, dragon nest, well howzabout doing it in transcendence? where before you play, you need an account to play. The game world must be MOAR HUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEE, And there's a daily update of new technology and there's a variety of affiliations and status like below:
Civilian
Militia
Pirate
Thug
Mercenary
Fleet Officer
Miner
Merchant
Aaaand you can Level up until 100
You can only obtain a device if it's appropriate for your level
The thing is....... Is it Possible to do?

In a word? No. The transcendence engine can't handle multiple players. While it's a very popular suggestion, reworking the engine to allow for it would take massive rewrites of most of the engine, new AI, etc.....so it's unlikely at best.

Some of us are working on some ideas for turn-based PvP transcendence mods.

I have a couple of good ideas on how to implement this (that I'm currently working on), and at least a dozen great ideas on what to do with it once I get it working.

Stay tuned!
I'm working on new sounds for Transcendence. Check out what I have so far: http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=825
(still a work in progress, but it does work!)

Assume you have the ability to store data in the Multiverse and retrieve it from inside a game.

Is that implemented? Last time I tried 'serviceExtension with unvSetExtensionData and it said "this service is not yet ready".
Should I try 'serviceUser?

I don't want any sort of copyright on my Transcendence mods. Feel free to take/modify whatever you want.

No, sorry, I should have been more explicit. It is NOT currently implemented, but I do plan on implementing it sometime this year (probably not before mid-year). I only meant that it will be available at some point.
