There are several locations on Next Island that relate to Neverdie (teleporters): Club NEVERDIE ND 500 Raceway ND Suites - Venice Omens Ridge - (ND's book is entitled Omens, I have it) Omens East Omens West I thought this was a David Post vision beginning with Elysium and advancing through storyline toward becoming Next Island. This should have been a pure Next Island production without another planet partner's name all over the environment - I don't care if ND Studios did development or not - nowhere in the vision was there a Neverdie-related anything. Oh wait ... and now I discover that there is a ... "NEVERDIE Champions Park" - a Land Area called "Cheri Zone" - and a "Tina Lieu" (Island Girl) auto-healer! This isn't "Next Island" ... this is ... "Next Neverdie" ... what a huge disappointment. I just don't get it, sorry.
That's really anti-immersive. I just hope the first ND-free planet will emerge soon. I just hope we'll get the first planet worth playing really soon. I'm kinda fed up with all that trash.
Won't get in until tonight but this is disappointing, first clue was "Hidden Beach" with it's own not so hidden tp :/
Yes! it suck's! Ori has not been well! i seen ND attached to stuff and saved 80ped :) though time travel stuff seem's intrusting! but it will more then likely be nothing more then a new costly tp system! and nothing like it could be* what about having a time travelling vehicle like a DeLorean from (back to the future) or something far more exotic and weird! it's time travel after all!..................
There also seems to be a Land Area called Club NEVERDIE. - "TRAIAN SENTENTZ STEFAN killed a creature (Pirate Skeleton Master ) with a value of 405 PED at Club NEVERDIE! A record has been added to the Hall of Fame." - "JASON KID WRIGHT killed a creature (Storm Drake Leader) with a value of 260 PED at Club NEVERDIE! A record has been added to the Hall of Fame." - "Dini mArdOff Mini killed a creature (Fire Drake Old) with a value of 185 PED at Club NEVERDIE! A record has been added to the Hall of Fame." Great to sell one CND off for 600+ k $ when you can build yourself a new one on another planet. I really wonder when anything in EU will be dealt with PROFESSIONALLY.
And it was shared by Peter elsewhere that there are also land areas named after ND's wife Cheri and his son Taliesin Let's see how many more ND-branded areas will show up. Welcome to "Next Neverdie"
Interesting thing is ... a few days back when I saw the photo of Club NEVERDIE on Next Island, I actually sent an email to David Post about it and said I thought this was supposed to be his dream and vision that was nurtured from the beginning with Elysium and turning into Next Island, and asked why we're seeing a Club NEVERDIE on his planet. That's when I only thought there was just the club, but now ... I have since learned from someone exploring that I think there's a separate island away from the main island where all of the ND-related branding is, but ... the ND name is still not a part of David Post's planet vision, and I just don't get why there's so much of it. I too hope that David or someone gives a plausible explanation for this, because it just doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me.
You didn't look at the turntables in club neverdie yet, did you? Was enough for me to logout :) Oh well been in this game for a loooong time, and sooner or later there will be a new planet i like.
Neverdie Island the mentality is surfer dude, the fire drakes are just reworked RT dragons and everyone is gratzingND (yes there in person) on the great new planet. If I were David Post I'd fire ND. Otherwise grab a fork. This planet is done
The more people post their discoveries, the more I want to puke. Sorry, but this was to be a fresh and new planet unlike any other, and not ND-branded. I don't think ND (as a developer studio) and his family should own property on Next Island - I don't care that it's a CND island separate from the main island. Obviously the island is big enough to have all the locations that are being listed, among other things, and from my perspective, it was just a wrong move to allow this to happen. This is just plain disgusting.
What a disappointing news.... Thank you for sharing with us. I can't believe how big egos some people have. I would be uncomfortable having so many places named by my name while I'm still alive! Not to mention if i would actually named them myself! There is something with mental unstability. Oh well, hope Cyrene will be ND-free.
Sorry, but that's just stupid. There's absolutely nothing evil, mentally unstable or even unusual about naming something after yourself or your familiy. take cars: mercedes benz aka daimler (all three parts), ford, opel, ferarri, lamborghini, ... just some others: goretex, zeppelins, kalashnikovs, ... science: enough to fill a library or two. even if it's just something as simple as "abs favorite recipes" (ok, I just googled * favorite recipes ^^): if it's yours, you name it. no need to declare people mentally unhealthy because they make use of that right. having said that I completely agree with "wth is up with the easily replacable contractor being all over it"? that reminds me of the adventures of peter baggins and samwise jackson... oh wait, that never happened or he's more than just a contractor...
Kay ... there's nothing wrong with people naming things after themselves, but Next Island is not ND's planet ... he runs the studio that is building the planet ... the vision for this planet comes from its CEO, David Post who funded the majority of the development of the planet, and this was to be a fresh and new planet with time travel and other exciting things to explore, BUT ... How the HELL can they allow ND to build a whole island to yet again brand his name where it just doesn't belong, and on top of that ... release that to exploit prior to the actual full planet being released ... it's just insane. It's coming across as yet another Neverdie venture, instead of the vision that David Post had that was developed from his dream and story about Elysium that grew into being Next Island. Why is Neverdie exploiting a whole huge island all about him and his family in the initial launch, and what the hell happened along the way that David was talked into having such an extension of ND on his planet. I just don't get it, and it doesn't fit - PERIOD.
Well I for one was looking forward to NI and was ready to explore, but I didn't and I won't I guess. I think this will be the same disappointment as I had with RT and I just don't wanna spend the 80 PED for the return ticket. I agree 100% with MS9, sure ND could have a small little building somewhere on a remote island, but this is to much and spoils the idea of the planet and therefor I will not go there. I can wait for Cyrene or Arkadia to visit a planet that's not an extension to ND's ego. I must say I looked up to ND for taking the gamble with the original CND, but he has taken it to far !!
I actually agreed on that. My point was against the "people who name things after themselves have mental issues" thing...
