Goddamnit.

Are you damn...Whatever-Answer is NO.

It is writen EVERYWHERE,and if you ask any of dev they say NO too.

So please,use your brain for once.

Did you even read the similar threads?????? The devs already said that working on multiplayer would take too much time out of working on the actual game and they feel the game would be a lot better if they just focus on single player, especially since making multiplayer now would require rebuilding a lot of code.

Just because the OP didn't look around a little doesn't mean it's okey to be rude.

To the OP: Welcome! Take a look at this thread.

No offense,but he needs to use brain at least once per his life.

And you need to be about 20% cooler man, chill

This threads are impossible to stop, and getting pissed off and being rude to the newcomers only hurts the community. I used to get crossed too, but it's really no use. Either point them to the official response thread or close the tab. There's no use for anything else.

Now now, lets stay civil, alright? Maybe you can suggest a Forum Page (forceful) that makes a gigantic neon-colored [click to continue] notice that says the message below.

For the OP (epickiller10), here is the official stance by the Devs.

There has been a lot of talk about adding a multiplayer or co-op mode. I’d like to give our official response to this suggestion, and clear up any confusion that people might have.

As you can see from the game’s roadmap, our vision for the game does not include network play. We have promised our players an awesome single player experience, and we are devoting all of our time and resources towards fulfilling this promise. We are even committing to six months of continued support after launch, so that we can make the game even better.

Don’t Starve was designed and implemented as a single-player game. At the code level, you have to do things a lot differently if you want to play over a network. If we were to implement multiplayer now, we would have to re-architect all of this code, which would have unavoidable spill-over effects for the single player experience. This would make it harder for us to fulfil the promises that we’ve made, and compromise the overall quality of the game.

This is an amazing community, and we really value your feedback, as you can see from our constant updates and hotfixes. We have discussed and debated multiplayer A LOT within the studio. In the end, we have concluded that we can make a better game, and better support the community, if it remains single player. This is why we are not planning on adding multiplayer or co-op to Don’t Starve.

Now let’s get on with making the best single player game we can make!

I bet if they renamed the board "Multiplayer: we're thinking about it." we'd still get suggestions
