Soo how did you get in to thrive? I got into it like 5 or 6 separate times honestly, once when it was still evolutions!thanks to spore, and I wanted a better spore that was more realistic so I looked it up and found thrive, and the timing lined up with the opening of the community forum and I got into all the games here. I'm really looking forward to the real thing.

What happened during the 'evolutions war' and the early days of Thrive? I don't think there's much written about that.

Several years ago (2009 to be exact), a topic was posted on the Spore forums detailing a game called Evolutions! with screenshots showing ultra-realistic graphics and an organism editor with much more flexibility than Spore’s. It was later revealed to be a hoax, created to convince EA (Spore’s developers) that they had competition, supposedly inciting improvements to Spore. However, enough people were interested to start a small development team, with the thread’s original poster as its leader. Soon it became apparent that the team in place didn’t have the necessary administration to run effectively. A small group consisting of people who had the skills and determination to make a realistic evolution game broke off, and Thrive was born.
This is from the website. I know there's some more details left out about Sven (the leader) being really rude to the team and also something about a bot attack on their forums. I don't really know myself so I'd leave it to the devs to answer in greater detail.

So how many people here are from the original forum?
I know I'm not, of course, but it sounds like there's a lot more than I originally had thought and I'm curious about that now.

They started making the actual game 2,1 or 3 years ago? yeah, since 2008 or 2009. And I arrived in the old forums in 2013. So the project already was 4, maybe 5 years old.

And the actual game was started before I arrived, so four years ago or so.

Well...it's a stretch to say work on the game started in 2009. To the best of my knowledge, most of that year was spent under Evolutions!'s banner, so very little happened then. Up to 2012/2013 nobody had really done any serious programming for the project - it was only after that when Nimbal, Seregon and Daniferrito set up the basis of the engine we still have now.
Until recently the dev and fan communities were one and the same, so even the development forum wasn't much more than what you see here (minus all the roleplays). Proper development has still moved at a relative snail's pace, but saying we've been working for 6 years just to get some blobs ignores a lot.
