Don't know if this is the kind off headlines we want to have atm :/
 
Nicely written and released. ;)

Look forward to the new single cuz the last one was played quite a bit in the office while i was there lol.

OMG a real world article involving EU with out the RCE this blah blah blah RCE that blah blah blah. Something was said regarding real happenings in game.

It was finally good to see something with a reasoning behind it to actually give readers a taste of WHY we play and how things like the sale of big items effect many things besides the pocketbooks of the makers.

Yes it is a huge promotion for Neverdie and his projects but hey he made the effort to do something not only on his own behalf but for the community buy pumping up the game and not the owners hype about money.
 
lol, who bought 'theee' Egg?

Quoting myself to add that if you look at it in percentage terms it's even worse - less than 700% profit, people make greater profits every day selling ESIs :)
 
Ahh ... the king ....

Is this really the promotion that EU needs? I can just see how people outside this little community will trashtalk and hate EU even more.

But ofcourse there will come something extra ordinary from that egg now, so that MA/FPC can say that everything is a possibility in EU.

Well played guys!

Congratulations! You just purchased virtually nothing for almost 70,000! But here is a cartoon picture of it and...well, you don't actually own it. So enjoy your investment! Oh by the way, no clue whether something will ever be done with The Egg but hey, isn't this publicity great?

So honey, I just bought our nest egg today... No, really, well virtually, kind of, well...I got this great picture of it.
