So, now what? (or "Let's Save The World!")

If you have David on Facebook he has basically said he has moved on to another project and its time for someone else to run with the ball. To me it sounds like he has given up on NI which is really sad and disappointing if that is the case. But again maybe he got over his head and its better for NI if someone else takes over. We will never know until/if that happens.

 

Yes, very sad if it is the case. The trouble is David still doesn't seem to communicate with us here.

 

Just curious: is that Tesla on the right side of your face? :)

 

Wow.. Now I really wish I had the capital for this. Maybe I can hit the lotto?!! :D

 

heck that doesn't sound good.... not good at all. So he's had to abadon his dream altogether... rubbish really.

Not good though, MA don't seem to be having a lot of luck. These failing planet partners is bad, really bad. Will certainly make John Bate's job more difficult. I doubt any potential PP's will be too keen in goingt into EU with such a bad record.

As for NI though... I really hope someone can take it over in time. It was a great place. Even if they changed the story/scenario a bit. Its a lovely place to just let go to waste.

Can someone here get me up to speed on this story, or else point me to a thread? I'd like to know what's up with Next Island. I just got here, and I LOVE the landscape, but there doesn't seem to be many people there. I guess that will make it hard to level(?) Does anyone use CND anymore?

 

Hi Morgan. To be honest there haven't been many people here for a while. This thread on Entropia Planets will tell you more about what happened, http://www.entropiaplanets.com/foru...-entire-staff-of-next-island-was-let-go.7866/

Really that thread tells you as much as most of us know. Meg, who posted on her blog about the staff being let go, was our main source of communication with the NI staff, so since she left there's been little information.

Entropia Planets is a good source of information about the whole Entropia Universe, so it's a good place to keep an eye on. Hopefully we'll hear something official soon, or else nobody will be left here.

 

Thanks for that link. That's sad to hear! Next Island has such a beautiful landscape, and so much potential! I guess the Powers-That-Soon-to-be-Were have crashed the gaming economy, as well. Does anyone at MinkArk say what the heck's going to happen to NI?

Kitten has since been kind enough to shuttle me off the island to Calypso. For a Noob, Port Atlantis is astoundingly gorgeous! I guess I'm a bit of a 3D graphics geek. I'm always amazed at beautiful online environments. It shows what humanity is truly capable of. If we can design such amazingly complex and beautiful worlds, why can't we do the same in real life?

So, now I'm going to start exploring this new land, but NI will always be my birthplace. I'm sure I'll visit it often!

 

Glad you got a lift off NI and I agree that Calypso is a lovely planet. It is the oldest of the planets, so there's a lot there to explore. I've only had a little look round.

I understand what you mean about NI always being your home. I was born on NI in Jan '11 and although I've been to Calypso, Arkadia and Cyrene, I've always come back to NI.

Have fun.

 

As a new delta he will be visiting many of the worlds >^.^<

 

Replying to the part of the building of complex and beautiful worlds, try this. It has some concepts and some actual pictures of real buildings and landscapes that they are either working on or have finished. ;)

Yes, he posted the same on Twitter today. Very sad to read.

I guess Next Island is dead until a buyer comes in. But with all staff gone and no VUs, what's the buyer going to get?

 

Yeah he has been spamming twitter last couple days. I think he is off his rocker.

 

Perhaps it is better he is not doing anything with it as I have noticed loot has gone up and people are slowly returning. (me included)

Sometimes we just need to let it go, and the path shall reveal itself.

I loved the new missions by the way, congrats to the crew that put them up. 8)>
