Entropia Universe Portal Site

This is very interesting, seems like a sort of MA franchise where developers/investors can use the license-free Entropia platform for creating new planets in return for awarding MA a percentage of the generated revenue.

 

hmmm... realtively unconviced so far. Building a virtual planet is gonna be hard work, therefore expensive, therefore the result will probably be filled with adverts.

 

Weirdd

 

I don't think the planet we have is exactly over populated. I am assuming each new company is intending to draw in more players, if they don't then we may be spread a little thin.

 

Yea, i think we dont have too much ppl, but we are maybe too over-populated in some places (Nea, PA)

 

On reading further, the Business Model @ http://www.mindark.com/partners/entropia-universe-platfor/business-model is suggesting a 50/50 revenue split. How viable is this considering that the planet developer will have to install, impliment and maintain high-end servers, pay for programmers, support staff, admins, etc, as well as marketing and promoting the planet to potential end users. Unless future developers already have the finance for this, they will themselves have to find investors who will of course want a percentage of the other 50%...
