If you look close on Carl Uggla, you will see he has ear-ring in his rite ear, meenig hes gay.

So everyone saying MA is gay where 100% rite!

Anyone else notice they blacked out the name of a friend logging in? I'm trying to figure out who could be on Magnus' friend list that would cause Mindark to ask the reporter to black it out... Not only was it obscured in one static image, but the blur moved in sync with the text scrolling.

Can we start with the conspiracy theories yet?

Noticed those too... so are employees playing PE, with usual accounts or not? You are confusing me already.

As a sidenote, on of my neigbours wears earings in both his lobes so nobody can think by mistake he is gay....

Very cool Marco. We love seeing MA's offices and decorations. I just wish I could understand the words! Anyone want to post a translation?

Hi all: my name is Joel Kom, and I'm a reporter with the the Ottawa Citizen, a newspaper in Ottawa, Canada. We're doing a story on MindArk's announcement that they're moving to let PE players take out real money from ATMs based on deals they make in the game, and I'd like to talk to people who actually play the game to get their thoughts, since it's the players who this really affects.

If you're interested and have a few minutes, could you give me a call to offer your take, preferably some time before 8:00 EST? You can get me toll-free at 1-800-267-6100 ext6871, or get me directly at 613-726-6871. Thanks, looking forward to talking.

Joel

Does it really matter who is gay and who is not ? it's suposted to be a virtual universe, so i really think that things like that dosen't really matters. There is no proffession like a gay or lesbian or hetero in PE to can it lol

It have been told that sometimes MA emploees playing EU so i'm not very supriced Magnus was kinda stressed during interview anyways well done

I just love that screen on wich Magnus was demonstrating things in PE :P kinda BIG...


//edit

Mr. Reporter i would call you, but my spoken english skills are very poor and you probably would't understand me what i'm talking :P if you want to know anything please send me an Private Message on this forum, i will be pleased to answer some questions.

Wow thank you for posting!


While being American (speaking English only) I could not understand what they where saying, but it was great seeing behind the scenes footage of your staff and work area!

Interesting to see some aspects of the soft ware you make EU with, and I was shocked to see that you have huge ass monitors to view what’s going on in EU!

Well, ive talked with lots of friends about this game. When I started some years ago - they just didnt get what I was talking about. Lately I can see theres been a good year for MindArk mediawise, and the publicity has made it much easier for me to explain about what a "Virtual Universe" is all about. (I held my first lecture on the subject 1991 at the university)

Its interesting to see the difference when a real feature/science-programme makes a story about MindArk, instead of as earlier only very gaming focused programmes. Its not many games from abroad that´s taken so seriously into very traditional papers like New York Times, not to mention BBC and CNN, and many more. Not that long ago Project Entropia were more or less looked upon as a joke by some "computer magazines" in Sweden. I think they choke now when they see all the things written all around the world.

I still think the most exciting concept of Entropia is the virtuallity and the philosophy, (the endurance to hold to it too), behind the whole conceptual development. Thats what makes it for me. Theres no other product that will have such a huge impact upon future virtuallity than Entropia. Why? Cause nordic countries go for quality and conceptuallity - often carried by a pure and clean idea.

Some time ago I also had a convo with some old students of mine from my time at the university - Industrial Design, and they were really amazed of the concept of the products and tools. Even some of my artie-fartie friends was amazed of New Oxford.

I think this is the actual breakthrough for MindArk and Entropia Universe. To be accepted within the scientific and intellectual community - as an exciting progressive move within the worlds of thoughts, concepts and virtuallity.


ps. Just to mentioning it - ive just started a project with a group of journalists and computer science ppl to write a book with the working title - "Virtual Universe - a new frontier: Rebirth of the cherubs and avatars." Planned to be released next year.

Could happen I will bother you some Marco ;-)
