I think players should be able to make the own Maps for free

to me i think new maps made by other players would be fun...

Almost half of game maps were made by players.

so whats the website where we are supposed to register and how do we download the map making toolS?

I think that It Would Be REALLY fun if us players could make our own maps, customize it and all! Boy taht would make the Game a whole lot funner!

First of all, to get the editor you'll have to sign a binding legal non-disclosure agreement. Please contact Alternativa directly by emailing tanki@alternativaplatform.com.

For a feature like this, players should have to pay crystals to build a map.

But something like level editor would be interesting, perhaps if someone took long enough they could make a real nice map. Then there could be a contest for the best map.

players should have to pay crystals to build a map

I disagree...why should we have to use crystals?

If someone takes time to freely contribute their time to design maps for the community, why should THEY be punished? That's backwards thinking.

Back in the day, ID software had a hit on their hands with the original Quake games, and the ability for users to mod and create maps that were used by millions of people in the original Team Fortress. It MADE Id Software as a company! That model has been used many times over by others for a reason. Everyone benefits from the growth of a community!
I understand making people sign non-disclosure agreements, that's just good business sense, but for gods sake don't discourage people from contributing their time and effort!
No one is suggesting giving away the flash based game engine, just making a map / level editor freely available and useable, as far as I know

Keep in mind, growth = $$ for the game designers and distributors. Free maps designed by the community = growth, therefore :
more user designed maps = growth = $$ for game designers! (all maps are distributed by the game servers anyhow, so the model supports it easily)

Just my 2c (or 0.586080586 roubles)

Making maps is free and doesn't even require signing an NDA anymore, so I am not sure what you're complaining about.

Umm... are you dense? I am not complaining at all, I am responding to Blasterz idea about charging crystals in order to make maps. Before you go off half cocked perhaps try reading the posts.

Please ... Tell me where I was complaining.. and about what?
, otherwise I'll take your silence as an apology

PS: Its so nice this thread was renamed in the meantime to "delete forum" , what a great community this is becoming!

On second read its "Fourm", wow, what can you say? For the sake of truth this thread started as " Subject: Players Making There Own Maps For Free!"

Great! Are we mind readers here? look up a couple posts... last post you made on this thread was "First of all, to get the editor you'll have to sign a binding legal non-disclosure agreement. Please contact Alternativa directly by emailing tanki@alternativaplatform.com."

Ok, therussian GT, Why don't you stop wrongfully bullying someone who was being supportive of the idea, and actually help us all on this thread by telling us how to get the editor and what to do with the maps we make? Or are YOU just complaining?

Muhaha panzer-runner, your comments rape all.

Oh man, you deliver. Read. Then post.
