Planet Calypso: Deeds: How's this for a daft idea?

Maybe you got confused with the Christmas gifts?

*ding* LIGHTBULB! xD

My take on it is that Cyrene, although a good amount of players know about it, will have to be advertised in-game and out of the game for those players who don't do much out of game research.
Start off with alot of initial events so people have a little fun coming over... start with an opening party, then maybe a giveaway of some sorts, followed with a hunting and mining party. We will need to encourage people to populate the Cyrene auction as soon as we can, so it can get at least up to "Arkadia level". Then you take it from there.
If we can't get the features, we grab the most important thing and that's lots of people. Quad-Wings, being cheap as they are now, we all probably own one. We could offer free rides to Cyrene and get others to do the same. (Not so free on the way back. )

Anyways, just realized this thread was about Land Deeds... :/

 

We don't know the percentage distribution. At one time MA had a chart on their website but that was taken down and percentages may have changed.

If you were born on Calypso and go to RT then:

- Some goes to MA
- Some RT
- Some Calypso PP(this portion will be split further - some kept by PP some to CLD owners)


So yes if everyone did leave calypso for Cyrene. Calypso would still be making money.

 

I am pretty sure the planet the player are on get some of the peds the player are spending even if he is from an other planet, would be a bit crazy if not.

It think NI will have a hard time to survive, maybe Rocktropia will have problems too. But if the new planets bring in many new players planet like NI could survive because of players visiting them from other planets. My guess is that Cyrene will soon after the launch have more players then Arkadia and be "number 2". They are also the first new planetpartner that are launched by a already established compay, the rest are ex players that have created a team. (i think?). That would give them resources that the others didn't have from the start.

 

Yes, Cyrene is the first real planet by an outside established company. Although Cyrene is the first game they are making. Creative Kingdom have a media industry thing going on so I'm especially intrested in seeing how they market their planet.

NI is not by an ex player. It's David Posts dream. I'd agree with NI probably struggling for a bit more. Although they are now doing small updates with each VU. Which is good and may overtake RT - a bit like the tortoise and rabbit story :)

 

Yes, but i meant the company was created by an ex-player, it was not already an established company.

 

Thing is we don't know the proportions. I think we did very briefly on their website which was subsequently changed.

Question is why the change? Seems to me the proportions may even be dynamic and based on some criteria or changed due to PP's requests.

It may be the case in the initial stages of planet development it may favour that planet but once it's established (a certain number of active accounts) the division may be different.

Perhaps a question for a PP or MA when you get the chance to ask?

 

Hi,

cannot help, but somewhere back in my slippery brain sits a Chirpy tweeting "SEE, SEE, SEE" ...

Cannot find any proof. Minitrue might have done its job. Thought it would have been for Caly, might have been for Planet Michael?

Have a good time!

 

hehe this is what I assumed at the time the announcement was made i.e. they were talking about SEE. However, thinking about it now it's probably unlikely to be SEE or if it was the deal may not have been finalized. It seems to me MA wanted SEE on board for the cash injection and SEE wanted the goods i.e. Calypso but didn't actually have the cash. This may account for the delay in the SEE & MA agreement and the subsequent "divorce".

Essentially SEE may have been banking on making enough money from Calypso to pay MA but with the demise of the Medusa sale they may not have been able to pay MA. So their plan may have been at a similar craftiness level to Wistrel's :-)

Note all conjecture ofcourse and this may be completely different from reality.

So looking back over the first post I'd say not an "ijiot" but a clever fox :-)
Would be intresting to talk this plan through with a numbers type person like an accountant. They probably know all the pro's and cons of this type of plan.
