Spider IT Game of the Year Award 2006

The testing of both nominated games - Entropia Universe and [other game] took place since October. Our most experienced gamers were playing both of the games and agreed that Entropia Universe is the one which won Game of the Year award. Both games are good, but what we expected was ability to live a real life. Though Entropia Universe is missing few things that would make the game much more better (ability to own/drive a car, etc), we decided that this game is the winner (Come on.. People can't fly like in [other game]). Second reason of this award - game graphics. Our CEO, Renars Silters said: "I've never seen anything looking better.". In addition - the game is very easy to play for beginners - there ain't nothing that you couldn't learn in a few minutes. In [other game] you must think for hours to understand what to do with those steel cubes, which you are carrying with you for some reason. Entropia Universe also attracted our employees with the money making opportunities, which is sometimes hard, but.. when making money was not hard?

Our suggestions for MindArk:
1) More in-game music
2) More cities and, if possible, visible roads, connecting them.
3) Cars and/or public transportation between cities, which costs money to use. Using teleports only is not good.
4) New Oxford should have something more, not just arts.

Spider IT Staff has sent big, tasty cake to the developers of Entropia Universe - MindArk.
Enjoy and continue the good work!

Use (eat?) it, whatever it is

one of the other articles sounds very sexy as well:

The federal government has no claim to property inside <RL cashgame>. It provides no fire or police services inside the game. It builds no roads. It provides no utilities or schools -- and no one needs it to. The company running the game and the players inside take care of all these things.

Late last year, a congressional committee began examining the idea of taxing property inside digital worlds such as <RL cashgame>. If that happens, a digital Boston Tea Party should break out, perhaps making it the only place in America where a real revolution could still happen.

my words, we are a new country in the cyberspace!

Thanks Mega - (Can't rep you though must spread) I did get confused as to why EU were promoting links to <other game>! Even if it was an article saying "Government hands off our Virtual money" as NvCk has quoted some of it!

Take away the turrets and there may be some value to hunting once more....
