First thier website could inform us of this...instead i have to visit a forum because news page is down...so is the "UNIVERSE" with 2 continents, a space station and an asteriod.....

pffffft

EU is run on Misleading facts (400k registered users) and false promises!!!!!!!!!!

There is 400k users and what they promise tend to come, altho it takes quite much time before it does..

Having worked with sales and promotion in various ways, Ive also learned that the customers doesnt always know what they want. Infact, one of the first things youll learn if you sell for example cellphones in a store, is that most customers have no idea what they want, just how much they want to pay.
We have not asked for Oxford city or wtf they call it, but if well use it and if itll be used enough to pay for the cost to make it is yet to be seen. I doubt very much that I will use it myself for anything than go have a look, but that dont mean there aint people that will..

Even Sarah that worked to get black paint, might suffer since I can see them now making clothes in black paint with out regard to skills


it might be good for buyers , but I can't see any good for crafter’s

Thx
Let's just hope this will not be my worst nightmare.

I guess we gotta wait and see what it's gonne be like. I really hope MA knows what they are doing.

Maybe it will cost way more than racer shades in all black
Most of us know that MA really love our money so it could be like that. If they don't do that...well I think some people will leave and sure that will cost them some peds but I'm sure that other people will buy the new clothes so they will prolly get it covered.

I like the idea that people can get rl clothes tho but I don't see why they wanna let some designers make some ingame clothes. Isn't EU about building a virtual life with rl money? So if this is gonna work the clothes will have to cost a lot or be more ugly that the clothes that already are to be found in EU so it does effect the tailor/color in game.

What is next? The US Army will make the weapons in EU?

Hell yeah.. some estate mogul might come and buy all 100 pages of appartements any time and then well need some more available to keep the prices down...

OR NOT

Great MA - thank you for ruining the opportunities of your participants base by the obvious and pure greed

I was looking forward to the art gallery as it's an exciting platform for real life and virtual art.

As I can see the "project" Entropia was just a test of your auction system in order to test it's viability of online trading through a 3D chat interface spiced with some occasional hunting, mining and crafting. That's real cute, but it seems many of us became aware of this a little late.

I am very sure Entropia Universe will be around for many, many years - I have no doubt actually. It's the perfect e-Bay with a built in graphics engine

Some time ago I became aware that MA will try to move their income from "decay/repairs" to external funds such as advertisements, in-"game" and real life trading and auctioning. However I had a tiny little hope that there would also be a little room left for the participants to develop their skills within their professions in order to become better and more profitable with time. This hope has vanished by the content of this article.

Canibalising on other peoples business is NOT ok in a situation where we can do nothing but leave PE / EU / EU-Bay Companies DO cannibalise on their own business when moving towards other strategic goals, such as moving a "bricks & morter" business towards e-business, but they do not have 100% control over the market and the participants in real life as MA has in this comedy of a "project/universe".

This is the first time ever I am a little "scared" about the future. I mean, not scared about bad loots or ever growing ATH's - I'm scared about the direction MA seems to be taking.

My advise - and - hope: Let MA sell the "Project Entropia" based activities which we have all been a part of until now to a company interested in running a "game style" real cash economy. Then MA can carry on in full with their e-Bay'ish activities and cut us, the broken limb, out of the equation

School...

Does that mean 20 avatars in a classroom watching Mark Kostabi Videos for 6 hours ? Maybe pay for it...then CTD ;P

Rofl @ 2 Continents-1 Spacestation-1 Asteroid-Universe
(dont forget about the 2 moons cruising around calypso and the other 20+ planets mentioned in the beta-texts !!)

The selling RL items was also mentioned in some beta/pre-gold text.
(What about selling the posters ppl looted ? I will never loot such thing, so maybe I can buy it now ? I dont want to buy deer-paintings, thats for sure...)

Oh yea, the votebooth... MA could have been so kind to ask if we would like to revive Hadesheim...

Wheres the vehicles ? Space Pirates ? Day & Night Cycles ? Hmm I dont care, I want a NinjaHood

I like them , I'm gonna buy one direct from http://www.ninjahood.co.uk/ rather than ingame. Its good start and it is ONLY a start.

A little like cND big hype and big expectations I left after a quick tour with a hmm 'lots of potential' feeling (again much cND)

[Zhorgul]

Also ... I like this new city etc. BUT ... Am pissed about the new Zeus TP ... I'll make a thread about it ... MA MA MA ... U dissapointed me alot.
