WomanGamers.com article about PE...

In an article about Project Entropia in WomenGamers.com you can, among other things, read the following quote:

"Many different things such as equipment, houses, clothes, jewelry and education can then be bought with PED."

Maybe this has been posted before, but some may not have seen it.

Just some food for thought....for those who didn't read in it's entirely...


Following along this line of thought, it has been said that players will lose all their items when they die unless they have purchased some form of insurance for individual items. Are you worried that this may create a pool of disgruntled players who are upset over having lost virtual items that were essentially paid for with real money, or who are concerned over paying for items twice

There will be different types of coverage offered such as insurance for a specific object, insurance that covers up to a certain value or even full coverage. The idea is that the cost of insurance will be set in relation to the item or items insured. Within reason, we plan for insurance costs to be affordable so as to keep citizens as happy as we can. Insurance will of course be completely optional, so anyone who doesn't appreciate its value can simply not buy it. There may be players that are unhappy with this system, but it's hard to please everyone all of the time. What we can aim to do, however, is satisfy as many people as possible. And we will listen to what players are saying as well as look at what works or doesn't work elsewhere. In addition to combat with its obvious risks, there will be many other ways for citizens to have enjoyable lives and to make money on Calypso.

Looks like another form of 'taxation' coming in later on, have fun guys! lol

The article is from June 2001... so I guess some of the ideas have been lost along the way.

that's a very, very old article and very out of date.

I remember reading it years ago. it's really more marketing hype than anything else.
