( I'll also preface this question with a request that the answer please be a bit more explanatory than a standard PR response.....)


Given that other companies will be allowed to create planets within the EU, to what extent will features currently in EU, such as items, looting & creatures apply to their systems? Will they be allowed to determine their own loot distribution if their planet offers hunting & crafting? Will they be allowed to create and maintain items that are unique to their planet yet able to be traded elsewhere in EU?

I second this question. I don't think MA are doing enough to tap into the playerbase. My experience is that EU has many people in senior roles with organisations that may be in a position to develop a new planet or become involved with MA in some way. I would love to see MA open a channel of communication for players to talk to them about business opportunites.

I'd be interested to know how Creative Kingdoms came to be involved in EU. Did MA approach them etc etc

I'd also like to know if the interview as well as other programs on Entropia Radio are available for podcast.

That would be the Asteroid-Grab-Event (AGE). You will have to fly there in order to participate and if you die, you will revive in of of the Ressurrection-Ships circling in the orbit and then you will have to fly there again and... *sigh*

All I can think of at the moment is:

Will any of the other partners (other than CKI/Dotman or whatever it's called) have buildings on calypso?

Can you please thank David and MA for the Donation of Items for the LONDON 2008 Entropia Quiz

I can answer some the business partner related question as I got an email from David a couple of days ago. It said :

"All our designers & programmers are working with the new graphic engine and cannot be interrupted, contact us again after the implementation of the Crytek engine."

I was asking if I could transpose some RL business into the EU.

I'm listening, bring it !

Here is my question:

"With the advent of the Banks there was a shortfall in functionality of the delivered system compared to the expectation of the community, will there be additional functionality/systems added to the banks in future, particularly the ability to purchase an item of high value from the bank with interest over specific terms and make payments on it with controls for the Bank to recall the item through the system if payments are maintained for a grace period and full recall if no payments are made following the grace period? This would clearly add true function to the Banks within Entropia."

That list is not really one which answers the question in your quote to be honest.

The adverstising is done, I believe still, through Massive. So really, the listing of companies should be on Massive's side, however, getting a list of Entropia Advertised Companies may be tricky, I've not looked myself.
