The official Entropia Universe blog

[Skam]

By the way, I dug up the old thread:
"Hi Im working with MA to promote PE, use my blog"
when Terpin (MA's PR company) sent out invites to do the blogs (a while ago) if anyone is interested.

If you will let Teilk write there, I suppose I would write some stories to... I will get someone to corect my english, ofcourse

[SB2]

Just a guess here, but I'm assuming that this blog will consist entirely of entries that are all positive and show what a great company MA is? ...and, based upon that concept, I'll also assume that commentary on the blog entries would be severely edited, if allowed at all?

A couple of tips for you, Marco... First, the media is smart enough to recognize a company brochure no matter what form it takes and will likely dismiss it as a credible source of information. Second, be ready for the competing blogs that will surface to counter the "cake and ice cream" you'll serve in this one...

Im sure MA has thought about that, concidering the mature playerbase that Entropia has.

As I understand it, a mature playerbase is what MA wants and with that, the player needs to meet its challenges.
I assume the blogs will be monitored of course, to prevent in many cases the same things that we as the moderators here on the forums try preventing, but I dont think that assuming MA will only accept "happy and profiting"-entries to be published is quite fitting their own envision of entropia (if of course I have understood their vision correctly, I could be horribly wrong. wouldnt be the first time )

Luv ya Skam, but when it's an "official" anything from MA, it usually comes pre-packaged with draconian control...

Let's wait and see what Marco has to say.

Hell, if they're not looking for the happy funtime report, I might consider applying. I expect they'll jut want sunshine and puppies though. Can't say I blame them too much, they do have to sell this thing if it won't sell itself.

Of course it will be controlled. Does make me too wonder at what extent it will be controlled. I hope not mentioning that you made a loss would make you get edited; perhaps it is a bit about the way things are beeing said, thats what I mean.

Would it for example be okay writing?:

Of course there are lots of other subjects then hunting.. Analysis about market or market manipulation, reselling and so on; things ingame that isnt disallowed by MindArk: can that be discussed..

Like MA did with the Movie Contest?
