At the moment when I goto the nexus no one ever joins me, I want the nexus to be a shared age, I want to be able to go there and see other people using it, I want to cue up to access the terminal. its like seeing people in the GZ a rare occurance but very cool when it happens.

Well, unless they're playing video games, in which case heros die a lot too.

The Nexus has many chambers that somehow can be linked to seperately. If I were designing the Nexus again, I'd make the Nexus one large room with many smaller Nexus rooms around it (Like the private rooms are in the hoods) That way you could meet people in the courtyard and such.

However, I doubt Cyan will do that... So I'd at least like to be able to see other people's names in the Nexus when I'm there (which is what I THINK you might be saying, Steve).

Edit: About the GZ. I've heard that the reason the GZ has so few people in it is because it's hood instanced. So only when your neighbors are in it do you see them. Not sure about this, though.

With regards to the Nexus .. I had one weird incident with that a looooong time ago.

I had touched my link .. the book had folded .. but I didn't link out right away. As I stood there trying to figure out what to do .. someone DID in fact link in .. run through my avvie and link out through the Nexus book.

NOW .. I don't pretend to know how or why it happened .. but it DID happen. I saw it!!! And .. as I recall .. someone else also had that happen to them .. as I read their post on a forum way back when .. but the name doesn't come to mind right off .. sorry.

And yes .. the GZ is connected to each hood and you can go there with people that share your hood.

Thinking of how the Great Zero is set up through the 'hoods, I would like to see a nexus for each 'hood. Like Whilyam said, one room with multiple nexi stations. (Nexi being the plural of the Latin word Nexus ).

Of course the Great Zero should be a public Age like Ae'gura.

I dunno I kinda like the quiet solo feel of the nexus, mind you it would be a good place for small secret meetings muhahaha

Quiet? I don't know what nexus you link into, but the machinery in mine is LOUD!

[OOC] I have a subwoofer (5.1 system) attached to my computer, and the bass coming from the noise in that room is so loud I can feel it...not that I'm complaining, it adds to the experiance [/OOC]

Marten thats what i saw, I think it would be very cool to pop into the nexus and see other people there. I've heard the multi chamber idea and have to say I don't like it, Ahnonay was 'designed' so people couldn't link back before the spheres had set themselves, the nexus doesn't.

I just think from a IC perspective it would make sense, and if the ALcugs guys can pull it off then why can't Cyan.

PS I never knew the GZ was instanced to a hood, wish it wasn't I might see more people

Excuse my amusement, Steve, but I'm surprised that the complete thing about missing GZ links and hood anchors has passed you by.

Well I never really ventured to the GZ much in UU, D'mala is the closest I have come to completing the extra 14 missions and even tho I have only 3 left I'm about ready to give up.

Make the Nexus Public

Viva la Nexus!

I think the nexus wasn't made multiplayer on purpose because of both technical issues and design choices. Though I agree a MP version could be nice.
(What I always thought would really be nice but isn't really possible would be to have a nexus console inside Relto )

Steve, I suppose it means that you never had the issue where you couldn't reach the GZ at all, which is good.

Unless you explain to me why that paragraph in this post is not libeling me, I will have to ask you or greydragon to remove that paragraph, because that is what it seems to me. It seems that you are saying I think Stevecrox is stupid.

That was what I got from the tone of your post. Am I wrong? If so, I'll gladly remove that part of the post.
