He's responsible for all the bad videogame movie remakes.
He needs to be shot.

Just finished watching the movie.. Overall, great job.

Am I the only one that took the zoomed image, tried to clean it up and figure out what avatar Magnus was playing in twin?

Hm.. they mentioned in the clip that you allready can take out Peds converted to dollar in an IRL ATM terminal. Sound like someone at MA was a little bit too enthusiastic and gave them wrong information. Or is there something we don't know yet marco ?

They where showing the GoldCard card+reader during that section, so I guess they meant that it was possible for MindArk to take the money directly out of our accounts when we slide that little thingy in the reader to get another fix of EU

There is a article on www.idg.se about this that you can take out your peds into RL money so it can't be to far away. Problem is that we always deposit and never have some cash to take out in this service.

ta ta daaa - translation!
guy in the beginning: it's already possible today to live your whole life on the internet, you don't even need to disconnect to earn your first million. people in this town, gothenburg, makes it possible.
bald guy: it's not a game, it's a virtual universe.
guy with earring: the thing we strive for is to build a better world then the existing one.
reporter: so called massive multiplayergames is nothing new. even in the 80's there was "mud", textbased adventures for a great number of players. today, the game "world of warcraft" is the biggest one, with six million players. Project Entropia is different from all other games in one imporant way.
bald guy: it's a fixed exchange rate, 10 PED, project entropia dollar, for 1 american dollar.
reporter: project entropia has it's own economic system. all the money in the paralell universe is real. instead of making money on selling the game, they make money on the fact that the users weapons, clothes and other things decay, but they users themselves can also make money.
bald guy: she is selling ticets, spacetravel ticets to club neverdie. I'm asking what the cost will be. either she ownes a spaceship of her own or she knows someone who does, so she is selling ticets for that person.
club neverdie is an asteroid that was sold to an american guy for 1.000.000 american dollar.
reporter: Jon Jacobs who bought the asteroid is hoping to make money on it's natural resources and on a nightclub. his rolemodel is the first big entrepreneur in the paralell world. David from australia bought an island for 26.000 dollar.
bald guy: David got his money back within a year after the purchase.
reporter: what does he make his money on?
bald guy: he makes money from other players that play on his island. he can impose taxes in different ways.
reporter: when we are visiting project entropia in gothenburg, they are installing armourglass and steelwalls in the entrance. we are not aloud to film there because of the safety, the company is now considered a bank. players can withdraw money from the universe from an ordinary ATM.
guy with earring: we get one question quite often, and it is about that guy who bought the asteriod, "why don't you make 10 asteroids then?" we wouldn't do that because then we would be destroying the whole economy and that would hurt us too. we have to be very careful with what we do here, to not abuse our colonists trust.
reporter: the next step in the universe is a culture-city, drawn by Ernst Billgren. in the city you can listen to lectures about art, and you are going to be able to buy virtual art to have in your virtual house but the art is also sent home to you, in the real world. in the end it's all gonna be possible to do in the virtual world. and surfing the internet becomes unnecessary.
bald guy: if you are logged in to this world... why log out from this world? why surf an ordinary boring browser?

okay, I suck at translating stuff but I hope someone will understand..

Thank you MarlaSinger for the translation. A great job. How would we know if it wasn't anyway
If anybody has been to the BBC link at the bottom of the original article page, do you know what the thrid picture down is of? The one that looks like an arena, taken from an angle above. Is it actually EU? I'd like to go there
Regards,
Jal

I could do a in-movie translation of it if someone rips it for me since I have not tools for that.
If someone can do that, please PM me so you can send the file.
And also, I have no storage space to upload it anywhere, so someone has to support me with that too =P

Marla, thanks for the translation! (Yummy avatar pic, by the way... rrrrrrrrraoooww!)
One bit in that I find a bit amusing...
Moving Shop Ships which decreased property value for some apartment owners, The whole "that's kimmi chair in your apartment" fiasco, and other equally annoying occurances...
Did the guy even keep a straight face when he said that? I doubt I could.

Do you really think some new TPs to ease up space travelling (dont ask me why no new tps arrived near corinth though), and some chairs are as serious as releasing a bunch of asteroids just like that?
Yes, it is odd they added a tp there considering that people bought those cheaper due to the distance to town, but on the other hand, it always felt weird to travel half the map to use a spaceship... Or see one take off =P

Must have been nervous Marco, mentioning New Ox and ATM and not knowing when it was going to air. Could have been beaten by the media to your own release. LOL.

eu on german tv-channel
yesterday there was a report about online games, and the possibility of making money in/off them, on a german tv-channel called sat1, which is part of a larger media-group.
the report was placed in a 'lifestyle'show, showing games like second life, wow, and, hell yeah, pe/eu, which left me like
kinda weird to see such a report, showing a game that i'm actually playing, but very nice, guess we'll see some more german fellas here soon

Indeed. Just stand outside a hangar as the ship takes off.
If you fail to notice, you are blind. Or they have changed it in a patch for some unknown reason. =P
