MA: PR: Planet Calypso Announces Online Auction To Acquire Massive Virtual Space

admin said: ↑

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.

I would say going by old CP average pre VU10 I would estimate atleast 3-4000 ped a day in tax income at 3,9%.

However...since CP loot can be pretty horrendous even without tax I doubt it will be close to as active as preVU 10 unless MA ups the droprate on X5's alittle bit. I've personally never looted X5 L solo on atleast 5000 kreltins killed. People will still go "Ped-Blind" and probably bid insane amounts and will probably be doing a pretty decent investment IF FPC/MindArk can stay in business the next 2years.

PS. Jolana got locked for all the right reasons and if "she" weren't so persistant with "her" lawyer she should have stayed locked

14 days bidding time isn't much notice, it would barely give someone enough time to talk to their bank, so they might have an idea who the eventual winner will be already. LOL.

With all the new planets supposedly due to open to players in the future, I have to wonder if Crystal Palace might not be the wisest of investments at the moment.

If the mobs remain as they are at CP, then the decay is already quite high/repair already expensive to hunt there. I'm not sure hunters will be willing to pay a tax fee on top of the existing costs to hunt there, especially when new planets might bring all new zones and mobs to explore.

A shame MA didn't sell CP as share lots, so that many players could have bought an affordable share in CP, and benefited over time with regular dividend payments to the share owners. Just imho. ;)

Well said! Maybe this is something the eventual buyer of CP can do to get the investment back and make a profit real quick:D

I don't mind spending money. What woman doesn't :D I have a nice apartment ingame to put my virtual junk into. I have virtual cloths to fill a couple of closets etc etc. But I can tell you now it would be a cold day in (the South) when I would put $26,000.00 USD into any virtual project when the EULA states that you own nothing. Is it a matter of trust?? You bet it is. Any company that clearly shows its contempt for it customers, as MA has in the past, has not earned my trust for sure.

If a person was to pay the kind of money they are asking to play live streaming radio (of your choice) (ya sure) in your apartment, I would consider having this person institutionalized lol. TIP OF THE DAY. Turn down your ingame sounds and PLAY YOUR MP3 PLAYER. Or send me the money and I will personally come and sing for you. Think about it. Who would you complain to if you got the wrong music. Support?? :rotfl: :rotfl: So this to you MA :finger:

Sorry Phunksta but I had to say it.

Re: PR: Planet Calypso Announces Online Auction To Acquire Massive Virtual Space Stat

I don't know why ppl would pay to have in-appartment audio either as you have the free audio anyway. I often wonder if the creators of EU and the mktng ppl are going in the same direction...
