    it is my understanding that a property owner can run his bussiness freely in-game. I dont see mindark tweaking the dynamics in such a way to prevent me making a serious turnover on CP.

    For the most part I was refering to the past. and with a slight hope that MA may review their client relations modus operandi.

    Istead of sayin FU MA! I sort of refered to what if...a discruntled player makes a semtex and ballbearing bomb with a cellphone detonator and teach em at MA offices a leasson.

    Meant to be funeh in a tough guy kinda way and certainly no indication that i want to actually do such a thing LOL.

    May as well have said MA I am so pissed at you I want to NUKE you! Ye NUKE MA! Nuke MA!
    Ehm! Where can a ordenary citizen get his hands on fuzible plutonium without being flagged by a orbiting satelite? I will let you all know, i dont have a clue how to make explosives LOL. I am just a stupid gamer geeg behind a desktop.

    I do not think anybody is shotting you down if you really wish to bid.

    But it's a fact you're banned from game. And the planets are connected to MA - you use the same login and avatar ...

    Also, first you wish to invest - which is fair enough, if you believe in it a 100 % - but after this, you say this:

    And I for one cannot see the connection, might just be me though ....

    Lykke....sigh! Purelly as a result of Cycochicks temp ban thats all. It is things like that, that rattles my cage.

    I believe in investing the way Jon did 100%. But it does not mean that i have to agree with MA and how they treat peops sometimes. firstly, they couldve warned Cycochick first by E-mail. if she doesnt comply, ban results. It can be done better.

    is there a diffirence???? you know what i feel about him. you cant blame me for thinking otherwise cos 711 made sure my game account got destroyed.

    Most surprizing 711 didnt use MA this time to get her game account deleted. Ok I missunderstood and thought her game account was also locked.

    in the case of EF, good riddance! You are better off without 711, Peter and Lykke rule as foerum hosts.

    you know, im feeling rather indifferent about this. it will be interesting to see what price it goes for, but other than that... meh. if they have the tax rate too high, no one will go and the place will be quite (which might actually be a bonus...) if its low then there will be little change.


    @cykokick.... i gather that it upsets you alot, but i dont understand why?

    Revenue Generating Opportunity Available In State-of-the-Art Massively Multiplayer Online Game

    Goteborg, Sweden - December 8, 2009 - First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real cash economy MMORPG, announced today that the online public auction of the Crystal Palace Space Station will begin on December 14th, 2009. The winning bidder will acquire the property deed plus obtain exclusive taxation rights for activities. Crystal Palace is already an extremely popular hunting destination that is in orbit around Planet Calypso.

    This auction is the third major property opportunity offered on Planet Calypso. The first auction, for Treasure Island, took place in 2004 and sold for $26,500 USD. Australian gamer, David â??Deathifierâ? Storey recouped his full investment within 12 months and has continued to make a profit. The second, and much larger, auction took place in 2005 when American gamer Jon â??NEVERDIEâ? Jacobs bought a Virtual Space Resort for a record-breaking $100,000 USD. Due to his virtual nightclub and the profits obtained from mining/hunting rights and property sales on the resort, Mr. Jacobâ??s fortune was valued at $1.5 million USD in 2006. Operating profitably from day one the Club NEVERDIE Resort brought in over $50,000 USD in mining/hunting rights alone in its first five months.

    The auction will begin on December 14th and last until December 28th with an initial opening bid of 1 PED ($.10 USD). To take part in the auction, download the game at the official website, www.planetcalypso.com and create a free account. Once an avatar has been created players can easily enter the world and deposit funds into their account via the gameâ??s website or in-game interface. Players can gain access to the auction via the Auctioneer character located in all major towns on Planet Calypso. The winner will own this unique hunting destination with a number of high-level creatures not available anywhere else on Planet Calypso.

    First Planet Company is the developer and publisher of Planet Calypso, the largest real cash economy MMORPG in the world. Players have the ability to participate in a unique virtual economy where they only pay for the game when they play, and they can actually make money. It is also the first MMORPG to use CryTekâ??s stunning CryENGINE 2 for amazing graphics and physics. Six years after the initial launch as Project Entropia, the game is now called â??Planet Calypsoâ? and its real cash economy is still the mainstay of this MMORPG.

    Planet Calypso is a free download available at the gameâ??s official website, www.planetcalypso.com.

    how funny would it be if that CP thing was sold for about 1000 PED or so, just to show MA that they need to do more for us :).

    Maybe there is a way for us the players to buy CP, I mean every player 0.1% or so.

    Never been to CP and I guess I will never go.

    i dont think it will go for as much as some suggest. its basically a large land area with no mining revenue. less than 1m, i reckon about 750k. alot but not a the payday for MA/FPC it might seem, pay for one senior programmer.

    It will sell for over 100k dollars, that is certain. Just to break the world record again and get some more folks in game... they suck though

    I know it will be very expensive but I am hoping it goes for jack shit (wont happen but atleast I can hope).

    I truly hope MindArk will stop spreading lies about CND being valued 1,5million $ though. It was valued that by 1 person and person only, and that was our slow spacecowboy NeverDie which makes it all null and void

    I doubt it will rival the CND sale. CND came with shops and apartments. The sale of these alonemade up for the majority of what was paid for the asteroid initially, and MA later was kind enough to add a second wing of apartments (On TI, a second batch of hangars was also released half a year after purchase).

    Seeing there's no real estate on CP at this moment, and the press release does not mention anything, this time the revenue will have to come out of taxes, and taxes alone.

    There's also no mining on CP, which limits the taxing even further. Another downside of CP that I see is that colonists can easily TP down, as opposed to CND, where it is tempting to go and blow some more PEDs while waiting for a pilot (once that system comes back).

    Also, there's no data whatsoever on the potential income, other than data provided by the tracker. It means that anyone bididng is doing so absolutely blindly. And with the recent happenings where Jolana found himself locked out of operating the bank, I'd think a lot of people would think twice before dropping huge sums into the game.

    Lastly, shortly after CP will transfer ownership, people will leave, due to now being taxed. Add to that the opening of new planets with new investment and hunting opportunities, and the risk is even greater.

    All in all, I would think the value of CP realisitcally will be a lot less than that of CND.
