Ive been thinking bout this for awhile and figured id c if the great minds in here had some ideas to ad on or thoughts to this. Alot of us speak of other ways to get ppl in players that come in to just spend to play sorta say. Imo currently we lack that possibility. For example aparpments. The basic idea is great the final produkt imo not so great. They are basicly a glorified storage that is heavily overpriced in my opinion. This idea would most likely take down value of aparpments by quite alot but would instead open other options. In my opinion its insanity that EU is not using the fact that ppl are collectors and use that for something. So this is basicly my first thought roughly. 1. Put up a "village" a group of say 50 houses in a village with some bigger some smaller. Add some stores and make sure the houses are made to use. Im thinking sorta skyrim here for the ones that has played that. 2. add books for real that acctualy holds some text. We could build volumes of different. For example beastiarys, A tome of history of individual players etc etc. That might get ppl in the mood to "gather em al" and it creates a demand for bookshelfs etc. 3. Manequin: Step 1 make them CHEAP. Doing this and adding housing might very well put ppl in the mood to gather these to build armorys at home etc. Currently this is possible BUT FAR TO EXPENSIVE. These are just some of my basic thoughts on this. In my opinion MAs has as always dropped the ball here but Ateam might be the gang to pick it up and make something good of this. This can be sooo much more then it is today and I do belive that would attract more ppl. Hell in a village like this U can even put in a voting system for rules in the village, Vote for a village mayor that gets to own the big house etc etc. The possibility to show off some of your stuff etc abit more is missing imo we have the tools for it but the cost is just to high for ppl to make use of it.
The whole concept to EU is to have a free market econmy within a gaming environment. Other mmo's make money an unimportant object. The new players comming here from other games dont have a grasp of this type structure. Here money IS important and drives every click you make with your mouse within the universe. Making money unimportant buy making everything low value will and IS currently killing this market off which the entire universe is designed around. If you want cheap n easy game play EU is not the place for these type players. Part of the balance issue we are seeing is MA catering to these other type gamers just to draw in numbers for a statistic. This is generating less income for them thus making it harder and harder for the players to survive as they have to keep nerfing loot making the loss swings far greater and the cost per hour to play rise at an insane rate. Its a vicious circle here. We ALL want cheaper game play but that only contributes to less available funds to circulate in this economy. The devaluation of all these items also decreases the reason to play. If every looted item held no value then the cost to play could not be justified even by the most insane of addicted gamblers and thus EU would fall. The two words in the entire history of language that will never fit together is Cheap and Entropia Universe. Granted some of the ideas you ask could improve the game.. but before requesting too much go read all the forums regarding EU about what has been asked for and see how innocent ideas always gets perverted before being added in the game and you will see why alot of people dont offer up suggestions of what to bring into EU.
