What gets you listening to anEntropia Radio Station?

Discussion in 'General Entropia Universe Discussion' started by RexDameon, Aug 17, 2012.

  1. I really love that we have i think 5 now Entropia Radio Stations. I would love to see them develop even more though. I'd like to ask a basic question.

    What would get you to listen to an Entropia Radio Station instead of your own music or the in-game music?

    I have some ideas I'd like to present but I'd like to get other peoples opinions first.

    5 , that's intresting I'm only aware of 2. Do you have details of them?


    Ideas for radio:
    • Interviews with PP or MindArk (must have recordings of them too though as not everyone is able to tune in at a certain time)
    • Music wise I like 80's, and any other genre rock, good lyrics or absolute classics like hotel california, born to be wild...modern games related music would also be good e.g. linkin park, The guild
    • Discussions and in depth analysis would be nice. Centering on EU but by no means limited to EU always nice to have other talk e.g. space, science developments
    • No one allows discussion of politics so would be intresting if a radio station allowed that
    • Competitions and proposals for EU development

    Good timing with your question Rex, and a very good question indeed, and one that I would love to address for a specific reason. I know that you are asking about radio stations in particular, but ...

    Next week, Syer and I are launching the media project that we've been working on for quite some time (months even), and several of the things that both you and Ace mention have been on our radar from the beginning. Our project goes beyond just MindStar Radio, and is all-encompassing as a media operation. Some have been privey to get a glimpse of what we're up to, so they know exactly what I'm talking about. I would like to ask them to please not post anything public, or reveal anything that they have seen thus far - thank you.

    I wish I could reveal it all to you right now, because we're pretty proud of what we have accomplished, but it would spoil the surprise when we finally launch it. Just know, that this project is something that I wanted to do years ago, and was even encouraged way back then (over 4 years ago) by many to do what I'm doing currently, but I didn't have the media partner that I do now.

    Syer and I are taking our media operations to a whole new level with regard to keeping the community connected, informed, and entertained, and that includes what we will be doing with MSR. We have our own server with full technical and environment control, and have done several upgrades already, specifically to the MSR operation.

    We are developing our server jukebox with AutoDJ, as well as other features that we will be sharing later on, and including more tracks from various genres (that means the 80's too Ace). We also have a specific area at the MSR website just for podcasts, and will be doing them frequently, but ...

    We will be doing a variety of, and a lot more on-air broadcasting, with a focus on live coverage on VU days (we might be doing some planet-hopping). :tongueout:

    We will also be presenting more audio components to the articles and news content that we create. We already have confirmation from many who are onboard with us regarding this, and you know me - I like going after the big boys with the potential of getting them to share "stuff" with us. :biggrin:

    The on-air broadcasting will include scheduled and impromptu programming, with a definite focus on having some crazy-ass fun, but ... we will also have some interesting discussions about EU that I'm sure many will want to contribute to. However ... sorry Ace, but MSR will not take on topics like politics and religion, and maybe a couple of others (depends), but we will make an effort to schedule some topics that hopefully will capture your attention.

    I am bringing the Who's Who series back for Officials, Players, and Societies, and while I'm known for walls of text, this time it's going to be different. The print segment of the Who's Who will be much briefer, and will be accompanied by a recorded message from developers to the community, as well as a Who's Who player audio segment, and a Who's Who society group audio segment to complement what's in print.

    Even my picture storytelling is taking on a whole new look and feel, but I'm not going to give any more away than what I have already. We have to save some good stuff for launch, so ...

    I'll just give you a teaser peek of the new MindStar Media website, but it definitely doesn't tell the whole story - we're still adding the finishing touches. We're shooting for Tuesday for the reveal, and I will probably be the only one on-air after the VU is implemented, unless I can get someone to have an adventure with me, and I'll tell you then where I'm at and what news will be shared first.

    We even have something special for EP that we're working on, but won't give that away now either - sorry Peter, you'll just have to wait. :hug:

    Here's just the top portion of the new MSM website - I can tell you that all 5 planets will be featured "In The Spotlight" at the launch of the site.

    If you try to go to the site now, you will be met with a nice cover page and an option to subscribe by entering your email to be notified. :wink:

  4. 1 thing that will get me listning is live broadcast from the field. Might be from an event or a random huting party for the listeners.
    I guess the bottom line is more talk and less music :)
