Multiplayer When ?

[FreeStormGXT]

Where is Multiplayer?

[TheMole]

Later this year, keep an eye on the news channels and you'll see when a date is announced

Thats what I have been saying. When are we going to be able to have multiple players in a server so that we can open up mass village build and maybe a trade??

[hubbemattsson]

Maybe, never.... who knows.

[kccarmea]

It's in beta right now, you could have signed up for it last month. I don't think it's still open though. But it's coming soon, don't you worry.

[FreeStormGXT]

I hope so

Since there is sengoku, there are no more updates for Medieval dynasty.

Absolutely unrelated. Sengoku is being made by a different studio. The only thing they have in common is the same publisher.

There are currently no updates for Medieval Dynasty because they are working on the co-op update with a new map which is a huge undertaking for a game that wasn't designed for co-op to begin with.

Oh I love it so much when people post "facts" with absolutely no idea what is really going on.
Glad you are here to correct such nonsense.

I couldn't think of a better way to ruin this game. Co-op is one thing - you're playing with someone you know, or at least trust enough to share your time with intentionally. Multiplayer is a whole other animal where you'd be playing with random strangers. The probability of one or more of those randoms deciding to start griefing you, in whatever way they can imagine, rises exponentially, and before you know it the game is a source of stress rather than a relaxing, fun experience. No... making this multiplayer is the worst thing that could happen to it.

1. You can just play single player.

2. You can play with someone you know.

Hoping that the CoOp experience makes the game enjoyable for me.

Co-op, yes. Multiplayer (like an MMO) is a hard nope. Now if it were multiplayer like your own personal server, that would be fine.

And this is all just my own personal opinion. Most MMOs are fine, because there's not that many ways to grief someone, but some of them... "toxic" doesn't describe them well enough.

Is the game not enjoyable to you as it is? I honestly wasn't sure I'd like it when I first got it. I've never been into building games just for the sake of building. I mean, something like Green Hell was cool, because it was a pretty hardcore survival game, but the building was a secondary part of it for me - I never really enjoyed that part. But this game... I don't know. I started playing it and realized I'd been playing it for weeks to the occlusion of all my 4x, TBS, and flight sim games. I was surprised to say the least.

I was under the impression they were making the multiplayer for private CoOp, pretty sure they even have a thread here with CoOp in the title.

I can't really remember much besides not really enjoying it and the breaking point for me was.. I started a town up in the woods but found out that, even though I could build there, the game wouldn't function properly at that location.

Oh, I may not have made myself clear. The new update will be co-op, not multiplayer. I went off on that tangent replying to someone else.

That's strange. What kind of issues were you having? I've built towns in woods before and never had a problem.

Define "wouldn't function properly"? There's no reason why a town anywhere on the map can't succeed. Extraction buildings don't have to be near the actual resource, except the mine building and the fishing hut, but the distance your workers travel to those don't matter, as they will produce the same amount no matter how long they walk to their work place.
Only the farmers need to be actually present on the field to be able to do their work.

Only difficulty you could have is in the mountains, where there isn't enough flat terrain to build all you want to build. But the game allows for your buildings to be scattered all around the map on different locations as well. So you can have multiple little 'villages' and they'll all count as yours.

co-op is under the multiplayer umbrella.

As I said, I don't remember. I can recall there being a major issue and people here confirming it was where I built in other posts pointing out the same issue.
