There is nothing to stop you putting a piece of art on a screen and selling it without an apartment. However, the major snag with that is people can't see what is on a screen until it is on display.

One way round that is to set up a forum thread or website showing samples of your work. You can then upload the images and place them on a screen if you get any offers.

Sorry Midori but you cant interact with a PC screen unless you hang it an an appartment you own ... so without an appartment you cant upload the image to the screen

[raybrad]

how about moving this one to the guides section?

[Ido]

I think there is a copy in te guides ... like a mirror link thing ...

I think it better stays in the art section sice a lot of people asked questions about this here ... and it sort of fits in

Didn't see the exact fees in any post in this thread so here you go...

• A standard upload fee of 30 PED.
• A dynamic upload fee of 5 PEC/Kb.
• An content value deposit (25% of standard+dynamic fee), which is paid when uploading, this deposit is refunded when the content is removed.

Note: 25% back, not 20% as stated in guide.
These are the official numbers revealed by MA in the Participant Guide, no hidden fees, it's all in black and white!

Yes Kujo

now the EU site clearly states all the information about the PC system however please note that at the time of writing this guide (8th March 2007 - 7 months ago) the information provided by MA on their website was very vauge and unclear... and for this reason i wrote this guide...
