    I would like to know if Arkadia will be allowed to install Moons, Asteroids and Space Stations and such stuff as well as FPC?

    Did I read it well? Neverdie sold his asteroid for US$ 635k? Will it be an option to planet partners as well to generate some income? Land areas, space stations?

    Good question Jamira. I'm sure plenty of others are interested to know this too.

    The answer is yes, we can do everything Calypso does - FPC is a planet partner same as us.
    The key metric is growth of the planet, ie how many new players are coming in. This makes plenty of sense, no use releasing estates if there are no customers to purchase them. Moreso, that they would devalue the assets of existing estate owners if we don't have new players coming in. It's very simply about supply and demand. So you can read into that, that Arkadia will develop at a pace that suits the growth of the playerbase.

    So that means MA wont release properties on planets until they reach certain player base?

    That would explan why ND does not have the recording studios he has planned on planet yet if real estate goes by player base. Of course alot of no player base is no crafting there to start a real economy. I hope to hell they dont pull that crap on you as well. Id be very leary. On the good side tho I dont think Arkadia will have much problem pulling players if all the stuff discussed here is put out for use in a timely manor. Unless you have things like the "Ozi bots" or "Arkadia puppet dogs" and such 8=}}

    Thanks for the help Bill, we've been really stressing about what to name the mobs hehe, although I should add that naming everything is way way harder than it first seems, especially to make sure everything fits together and makes some sense.

    I don't see it as a problem to have estates linked to player growth, I would see it as a problem if it wasn't in place. The whole economy would go to shit if properties were released with each new planet without a corresponding market for them.

    I understand exacty what it is like to have to name every monster and npc in a game.. I have an oldscholl D&D world I designed complete with all original mobs, npc's their names stats abilities..the world is written all out on hard copy and takes up 4 binders qith 4 innch rings used to hold the documents. Over 10 years of work on that as it grew.

    I am glad real estate is tied to player counts to be honest..hopefully the availabilty to all the general public will be better managed then Calypso with soo may apartments and other propertuies held hostage by resellers and so many other properties dormant. I remember when I first started playing seeing Morning Tear Castle full of some of the coolest stuff in EU and all lit up so beautifly. Sadly now it sits dark and dormant and empty in a resellers shop with all the glory it once held removed and sold off

    That sounds serious to me: going foreward in RCE step by step. Although my hope is still to become one of the first estate owners at Arkadia as long as everything works well ;-)

    I would settle for a booth.

    Than I can expand my "Ion's Emporium of useless Crap" :D

    but serious, I would like to expands with a booth or two on different worlds to sell my crafted stuff.

    Regards,
    Ion

    Good finds there :)

    The image you put there Jamira is not an apartment, but sits next to the apartments. The style gives some hints to the apartments style. I'm sure Cyrus will release images (or more likely a cool video) showing you some estates before we launch.

    The image you posted Kay is a rooftop :) It's all built in a component model which gives us great flexibility.

    The estates on Arkadia will be extremely varied, so sure to be something for everyone.

    Hm... I don't know... And I don't think so! Because, why should he copy something from Calypso? Look at the background picture! That is far more better than anything we have on Calypso yet ^.-

    And btw. There is no chat window but the Windows 7 menu bar. And the window in the middle I don't know in EU...

    hehe good pick up! +REP for that.
    Let's not forget that we are building a planet within Entropia Universe. I think there would be more concern from the community if our staff didn't log in and know how things work. The pic you put up is of Cyrus, the Community Manager and the guy who makes the video - I assure you he knew that was in the footage :) as did I.
