"The Rockstar Game"

Yeah, it's an online game, it's pretty damn good too. You name a band, control what you do (tour, practice, write songs etc.). It's in the early stages, undergoing development and stuff so it should only get better in time. Worth singing up that and taking a look around

You start off with 250 points (currency with which yo do stuff in the game) and after that you earn 7 points every 3 hours (crap system which I'm hoping they change) with which you try and dominate the musical world... So yeah. You release singles and albums, and there's charts for them, meaning we may be doing battle in the charts sometime soon.

Could be good - i'm enjoy it, so yeah.

Respect.

Quicktip: Don't spend most of your money on 'skillz' to start with. Write a few tunes, get gigging. Though obv. spend some on skillz, otherwise your songs will be... crap.

I use them all up every time I log in.

If I've got a few left, I rest. As everything seems to affect your health.

Just out of interest, how many points do you usually leave your self with until you stop using them until you get more points? Or how many did you when you started?

7 points every three hours is cool with me - it just makes it a slower experience, which is all good.

Otherwise people who had a couple of days head start would at a real advantage, whereas at the moment it's not much of a deal.

If that makes sense...

7 pints every 3 hours isnt very good because you will need to leave it a couple days to have enough to make an album and people who check it every day only just have enough to mahe a single and go on tour.

That's rubbish, they could at least make it a round number like ten.


I just created a song with out meaning too and didn't give it a name (thinking back would make it not happen). It didn't was a lower rating than my two songs before so it didn't help. Wast of 15 points - I e-mailed the guy the to try get him to delete the song and get my 15 points back.

It's just 7 points every 3 hours, I believe.

I'm working on my skills and writing 2/3 songs at the moment, but I'm not sure whether releasing a sing then going on a small tour or the other way round would work better, to improve my popularity.

Also do you just get the seven points every so often or can you earn them with releasing singles or going on tour too?

I'm not in any rush to release a single just yet. Still working on improving my UK fan base.

Ah ok, so it's based on more than just money and single / album sales.

I getcha!
