• I heard Tony Choe is developing new version of Area00. When will it be ready?

  I cannot say when the development will be completed, as I cannot work for the game all the time. I can say that the new User Server will be rolled out by April.

• If new version is ready, do I need to start all over again?

  No, the game will not be reset nor restarted. There will also be new servers.

• Can I see new version under development?

  I am going to make a test site soon. The URL will be posted on the site when it is ready.

• What are the changes of Area00 Version II?
  • New User Server
    • Database-based User Server

      The current User Server is based on Area00 game engine. This engine is using RAM-database. So it needs a lot of memory. I will use MySQL database to re-program it.

    • High Security

      The new User Server will be based on cookie sign-in (login) system. It will also have all the functions and features of commercial web sites like hotmail.com, yahoo.com.
      Staffs will get more support from game system to do their job quickly and exactly.
      Many security problems are from players who don't have professional knowledge about computer security. I will add more FAQs and manuals to help players protect themselves. There will also be re-programmed functions such as "e-mail validation” to help players.

    • Support online payment system

      Whenever Area00 accepts donations, I have to process them manually. I am going to add an online payment system on the new User Server to reduce my work load and make the processing time faster.

    • Support other web games

      I have few web-based game's source code, which I have developed. They could be revived and added into Area00.com. I hope I make small gaming zones with these games. The new User Server will be designed to support these games.

  • New Game Service
    • New Pilot System

      Current Area00 has not enough features for the pilots. The new system will have a re-designed pilot system. Pilot's ability will give more effect to his/her aircraft’s performance. Also Pilot will be able to wear items such as helmet, suits and other cockpit equipment.

    • New Aircraft System

      I am going to make a different server divided by history: World War II, Vietnam War, Middle East War, Cold War, Future War, ... Each historic server will have a different setting and different aircrafts. The original idea is based on that somewhere on earth, freelancer pilots fight for their employer. I want to add more historical concept into game. I feel that it is hard to make the game more realistic. I really want to add a modern aircraft combat and strategy system into the game. But I know I cannot spend all my time on a big plan. So I will increase the number of aircrafts and divide them by their historical backgrounds as I said.

    • Other big systems

      I have told players about other systems such as a new wing system and mission system. It seems that I cannot complete this unless I am 100% free for game programming. I don't want to talk about this systems because I don't want people to feel disappointed and angry.
