Marco, I have a new question!
Now that you are the CEO here, will we get more Q&A's?
(although now that you have posted so much info (thank you so very much!) there won't be many Q's left)

Very! Would be interesting if you could investigate possibilities...
I think most questions would be self-explainatory if you perceive the Entropia Universe platform like an operating system (like Windows) and each planet partner as a program running on the OS. Does that help?
That is decided by each and every planet partner. Some planet partners may even want a closed planet. The Entropia Universe will become very diversed in the future. Almost like the Internet itself...
In order to keep things tight and focused, in the beginning I expect to have all storyline coming from FPC. As this is set and the boundries are up, I expect more community involvement. Like you said, there are numerous talanted fiction writers in the Entropia community (yes, you know who you are!).

Sounds really nice
Will there be any way we can email or otherwise contact you privately about suggestions and stuff (like support cases has been used while you were at MA)?
Well, I see Planet Calypso as more than a game, but it is a game nevertheless. A game with a real cash economy.
I hate that kind of grinding quests! Really. I'd like quests to be more in synch with the storyline and with a purpose and a history to it. A good example of a simple quest I like was the time when RDI issued requests for items to battle the robots and when it was over, by a joint effort of the brave colonists for weeks, it happend. The robots got kicked out and it became a turning point in Calypso's history. Something to remember.
The mechanics might have been weak at the time (a lot of hunting) but that is the kind of "quests" I'd like to see in the future. Purpose and history.

Gratz Marco. Now there's no hiding behind the "he's just the PR guy", Marco. Be scared; be very scared.
Lol. I am going to surprise you, disappoint you, make you happy, excitied, sad and mad. Sometimes I'll make you love me, sometimes you will hate me. It is all part of the journey. I just hope you will be entertained during the coming years.
I'd be a fool if I believed otherwise. =)

Maybe it's time to brush up on our Planet Calypso history.

Yes, we will be limited as MindArk maintains and develop the platform Planet Calypso is built on and is part of. Do I see this limitation as a problem? No. It allows us to focus on the important stuff, and MindArk on the boring stuff.

Still a big question, how will people move around planets ? Will the companies that own the planets decide how u get there ? free or not ? How will people know there is another planet ? Show them at the teleporter next to the continent button ? adds ? etc

marco, are we to read into the fact that 50 of your 878 posts on ef have happened in the last two days, that this new and improved marco is one that no longer has his hands tied by mindark and can now operate with the base as you have always wished?
if so, this is a very, very good move on the part of yourself and the company and will have dividends for the base that we have never imagined were actually possible before, due to the almost criminal lack of communication given to us in the past.
and, no, i'm not sexually turned on like mindstar9.

It will become a fun ride into the future. But, and I cannot stress it enough, it will be a slow period before this commences (with the CyENGINE release). I want to be upfront and absolutley clear on that. Some notions and hints will come though during this time, but see it as a build-up phase.
(there will probably be some new systems introduced as well before the CE2 release, which are non-storyline affected, can't say more right now)
You want me to remove all Rev-terminals? And make your dead avatar stay dead forever? ,-)
The same team as before. They are doing an excellent job in my opinion.

OMG, he's real, real guy, real interests, time for others 
So many posts, so much info, so many ideas! Perfect timing when the economy looks uncertain for pretty much everyone, keeping us rooted for our common future. I'll have to to catch up.
Looking exciting
I was pretty sure this was just a move to isolate and maybe even shut-up shop, but this interaction (not communication) is giving postive vibes.

I hope the rest of your team is as fired up as you, if not, remind them of the current economic climate, then sack one

After the first
Since Calypso will keep all thats been Entropia up til now,
then plz keep the name aswell!
The Entropia Universe name is reserved for the platform and the "umbrella" that all planets will be a part of. "Planet Calypso" is, well, the planet called Calypso in this universe. Why the name isn't just Calypso? Well, you get about 14m+ hits on Google with it... ,-)
You will connect to Entropia Universe. You last position within the universe will be where you start your next session.

As I thought it would be
Marco, do you think you will add any new ways to make money (for newbs) on Calypso?
