David Post :Next Island MMO is relaunching

This smells awfully fishy somehow... don't get me wrong I'd love to see a NI comeback. That story and concept had some real original potential.

But I feel that relationships maybe broke down between NI and MA and a stalemate ensued. Somehow I'm suspicious of that new website... didn't the domain dangle out of ownership? Has someone (BIG industries?) snapped up up?

We need Detective McCormick on the case!!

 

How did I miss this one? Reasonably nicely done

Hmmmm

 

The official site is still the Entropia "Next Island" and has nothing to do with David Post.

Who will sue whom now ? x'D Popcorn please !

This feels a bit like SEE and Planet Michael. "Yes, now that you ask, we are indeed working on it but it wont be in EU". Thats what SEEs manager of licensing (Mr. Eric J Leong) told me in late 2014. "Yes, now that you ask, Planet Michael is scheduled to be released in 2015."

Anyway, the "original" David Post on Twitter stopped twittering in February 2014 :
https://twitter.com/davidpost

He started some crowdfunding company in 2012, that failed.
He claims his twitter account got hacked in 2012 and 2013...its a mess and its all still there... jesus x'D....and then he left some...thing...in 2014...to never use that account again. Probably got hacked again. x'D

That (the last garbage on twitter) was 1 month after NI turned into the Outpost of EU (Feb. 2014)



Just saying... the photo from Yao-Te's post is indeed David Posts old FB photo (2014). David Post didnt post anything on FB since 2014 and is no longer working for "Nextpert News"...amazes me that he can still remember NI times and suddenly replies to some Entropian, claiming that it is gotta get revived...asap. x'D

His EU avatar also has a FB site (last post 2011)
https://www.facebook.com/david.post.585?fref=ts

Their fansite on FB with an user named "Next Island" claims it is "slowly reviving".
Whatever that means...nothing, for now.

Still owned by Peter & Co. ...probably having no idea about the plans of of "Mr. Post"...Peeeteerrrrrrrr ?! ;D


NI without EU ? Will it be RCE ? Out of nowhere ? What about all the 3d models ? Will MA just rename their Outpost ? Or did David get hacked again ? xD Or is this just another troll attempt in the history of Entropia...by maybe David himself ? xD
So many questions....

I wont add this crap to my blog yet, as its just that. Crap.



Smellls fishy ? David looking for quick dollaraeehhh investors soon ?

I liked the time travel option of NI, but making a complete new MMO out of it with a mobile virtual world on top of it ? Good luck David, you will need it.
Maybe you can get Neverdie on board again ? ;'D

BIG Industries did sweating events (april 2016) and warp flights only afaik.
No info about a purchase of the original nextisland.com.

Anyway , thank god you are allowed to talk about other games here. ;D

ahoy captain

videos from post Feb/Mar 2016

so expecting a year between updates. maybe 4-6 months we will know more

 

Thanks for all the info Mr McC top notch work as always. So all in all I smell an other enthusiastic rat. I spoke to Next Island too. They said something about some people being employed by NI but most are volunteers associated with BIG industries. So the way I see it BI just have their hearts set on running events and things on NI and there is little more or less to it than that.

I don't think anyone has any official word from anyone else. It is all just players doing what players can do potentially with some misleading advice that it might go somewhere. Ultimately NI is still bankrupt and gone and there is no plans to change this.

Players can organise events, run trips there, revive forums and post lists of working missions. They can't change or fix anything.

Sad but I think this is the case. I'd love to be proved wrong but I don't think I will be... unless of course NI will be this Christmases big ticket sale

 

Ya, without adding something, just auction off NI in its current state and promise the holy land.
Then do nothing = epic win.

Ofc some players will be angry but then MA will announce 2 more fruits for gardening and there goes your happy end. x'D

 

Oh yes, I have seen those video clips. One more EU/ION/AW clone slowly stepping forward.
Devs probably witht he best intentions, as always...but in the end I dont see a reason anymore to try it out.

 

Anyone spotted these in the client loader under credits... the interesting thing here is that they left out Cyrene but kept NI in...

 

Because of another forum user, who told me "Frank Campell" was with NI then...I was able to find an old company employee list, enjoy.



Maybe any other familar names here ? :p
Except for the obvious ones like Katlean, David, Mag, Nash.

Viktor Antonov anyone "who art-directed and did concept design for the award-winning Half-Life 2, once CGO of NI.

A lot of stuff got removed from google by now and even wayback machine got raped by the robots(.txt).

 

Oddly enough as NI relæaunches I have also returned to the game. Nice to see some of you here. :)

 

Looking forward to seeing Planet Micheal integrated as a time era you tp to from Greece! :)
