I was wondering... Are there any plans to increase player interaction in an offline mode? Like being able to post messages to your nation or to specific players, a bank operated by the server on which u can deposit cash on your own account or transfer money to someone elses etc...

Would be handy; you wouldn't have to wait till a player comes online to give him back the cash u owe him, u could leave notes to other players etc...

It's not hard to implement, but it would need some user interface of course, which would be the biggest part of the work I guess... Still sounds like a good idea though, and it probably would be necessary once the game nears his final stage. ;)

yep, I like hte idea :D

cheers

Sounds like Asphy's idea of a Vendetta interation with IRC needs to be reborn and revamped to fit these extra options.

White Magic.

yes, o great devs, PLEASE let us run vendetta in "console mode" so we can pipe stuff to/from stdin and stdout...

go-on!

Perhaps akin to Tribes 2 (if I remember correctly). You had email, IM, and such all within the game, yet not *in* any server. Open vendetta and go from there.

Yes, we have plans for in-game email and instant messaging abilities, plus an in-game bank and other obvious necessities. Parts of this will be accessible from an out-of-game interface on the website. Would definitely be nice to tie in an external chat interface, etc. However, for the moment, in-game features take priority over out-of-game features.

Great. More or less when will these features start to be introduced? Not that I'm impatient or anything, just curious.
