Becoming a Planet Partner
The Basics
Mindark offers its license-free Entropia Universe Planet Development Kit (EUPDK) to select organizations wishing to create their own planets within Entropia Universe completely free of charge. The revenue generated on the Partner Planet is shared between Mindark and the planet Partner.
The Planet Partner is responsible for creation of the Graphical Content, the Operation and Marketing of the Partner Planet. Upon formal agreement to a Planet Partner Agreement, the latest EUPDK is provided to the Planet Partner as well as access to EUPDK development documentation, manuals, specifications and a direct feedback bulletin board.
As far as I could see this will only be available to planet partners.
I quote:
You can only get that IF Ma decides you can dump enough money into EU for them to give you server space.
Maybe, EF community could put 100 PED together everyone, then we may buy our own planet and even receive a development kit.
Would be friggen awesome to create a whole planet!
I like the way MA want to do this. Free SDK without any limitations to the Planet Partner. Opens up unlimited possibilities as far as different planets are concerned. Will guarantee every single planet will have unique virtual items.
I wonder how much it costs to become a planet partner. Anyone know??
It's not the problem where and how to get it, it's the problem how much you're willing to pay for it. Maybe, EF community could put 100 PED together everyone, then we may buy our own planet and even receive a development kit. I'm professional amateur graphical artist (means, I have a lot of knowledge, but doesn't work as), anyone else ?
Let's set up a staff for creating our own Planet... Project Entropia !
@Eto: If it wouldn't be MA, i really would believe in your theory, kinda sadly to have to say something like that
That MA give it free to partner dont mean they will put it for free download neither it will be avaible for evry ramdom joe that claim he will make a planet...im going to make a bold prediction here and say you will never be able to freely/legally download the EUSDK. it will the cryengine2 SDK, which is normally a licenced product you pay for, plus a bunch of MA created tools. they arent going to allow every tom dick and harry to have it.
well, if anybody decides to go ahead with the idea of forming a EF company and developing a planet, i'm in!!!

I got 10 years as a sales/marketing manager, im in
I just got 3 years over and besides also have kinda some experience with tools like sandbox (what MA f.e. is using) etc
@Ido: Huh, we're gettin up a team on this thread, maybe we should create a usergroup for that. Einherjer would be in too as coder I think, but we don't need to do very much, just need to do the balancing (under MA control) and the graphical part setting up the planet and mobs
