VU10.0 In The News

[hoos]

Hi,

My name is David Simmonds from Mindark PE AB the company behind Entropia Universe.
Firstly I would like to say we are very happy to be able to offer our customers the chance to download from BitTorrent.
I will answer a few comments in this thread but if you would like to read more about Mindark and Entropia Universe please visit our web pages.
Entropia Universe is the first real cash economy with a fixed rate to the USD, its free to download with no subscriptions, you can deposit and withdraw real money. Mindark has be granted by the Swedish Financial inspectors a real would bank licence, this gives our customers confidence their deposited money is safe in a real bank with all the guarantees that come with it. Our security for the EU and our customers money is higher than most banks!
You can experience Entropia Universe for free, even earn real money! but just like real life you need to deposit if you want to skip the more mundane tasks and get to the fun straight away! co
If you expect to have an easy life in Entropia Universe your wrong, its tough!! most kids want to be "top guy" in a few minutes of playing a new game!, if thats you, keep away!. Just like real life you have to plan and take the right choices to succeed! shooting you guns in air like a wild west film might seem a fun thing to do but dont complain about loosing money .-). play smart!.
With the new graphic upgrades and major corporations building their own planets the Entropia Universe is the place to watch(and be)

I know English is a second language for MA employees, but if this is really something posted by David from MA, its poor grammar and spelling mistakes are frustrating. A professional image is vital to any company, and especially one looking for skeptical new customers to make deposits. MA, I recommend you have posts like this edited prior to publication. I'll volunteer, without guaranteeing results.

Nice content though...

Granted, that was a contest, which is fine, but they also claim they never received that guys tip, which is bullshit because I also submit the tip on VU10 the day the news came out. So there's two people, plus at least one other that I can confirm sent in a tip, that they claim they didn't receive.

The have a hard on for SL and WoW, and barely cover anything else. Just a bunch of industry tools that only report what they give a shit about.

So explain the why they are hacks again???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_writer

Hack writer is a colloquial and usually pejorative term used to refer to a writer who is paid to write low-quality, rushed articles or books "to order", often with a short deadline. In a fiction-writing context, the term is used to describe writers who are paid to churn out sensational, lower-quality "pulp" fiction such as "true crime" novels or "bodice ripping" paperbacks. In journalism, the term is used to describe a writer who is deemed to operate as a "mercenary" or "pen for hire", expressing their client's political opinions in pamphlets or newspaper articles. So-called "hack writers" are usually paid by the number of words in their book or article; as a result, hack writing has a reputation for quantity taking precedence over quality.

I was under the impression that David was English? I also wondered about the writing style though, and put it down to tiredness and/or rapid response without too much care.

Beats the corporate pre-written stuff IMO, even if it's not perfect it's from the heart and not BS. David has his work cut out around now I'd bet, got to be a busy time for MA PR hasn't it?

ok, I don't get it... has MA stopped counting all deposits as income and started putting them in the "bank"?

Maybe so, but that's the most objective coverage of EU i've ever seen. And they did actually write the article. I am skeptical that post was from MA, but the content was good...maybe that's why (kidding, kidding). I do hope that's not the way an MA employee edits his work before posting as an MA employee, even unofficially.

Reply added to Massive,

No lies, just a real opinion. Not dressed up, not dressed down.

It is the best way to approach others in the gaming market.

If you about the service and leave only half truths in,
then really, why bother.

If people know what to expect, their expectations are met if they are genuinely interested in becoming involved.
