...would make the most sense
...with transferable credits that would allow you to upgrade from one level to the next but not in such a fashion that farming lower levels is even enticing
...say tier 1 is totally free to play
...merely to get introduced to the basic product
...cross-selling higher tiers the whole time
...available by app on all mobile media device platforms and all other platforms
...but has the essential features of EU...crafting hunting mining
...along with stupid stuff 9 & 10 year olds might like
...maybe minecraft-esque stuff i dunno
...2nd, 3rd, 4th???? tiers are monthly subscription or deposit based but are dirt cheap or have added features you can purchase or 'rent' or use iTunes cards for
...then EU
...just like little leagues, single A, double A, triple A and major league baseball
...you want someone to come out of tier 3 or whatever into EU and go WOW! just like walking into a major league ball park for first time
...but you wanna maintain the uniqueness of EU from all the others
...its a big boys game
...that shouldnt change and one of the biggest reasons it is unique is LIMITED availability of products like armor, guns, faps, ad infinitum
...and economicalness of items
...I think that MA should specifically commit in writing a pledge to not allow any more than ___ mod merc or mod fap or whatever items per depositing player to be allowed in game at any one time
...anyway...you need to get younger generation hooked but theres no way we want 10 year olds running around in EU
...that would be silly...if u want older players IMO
...everyone is looking for purpose no matter what kind of 24 hour a day gamer lazy dope smoking fiends they are(no offense to the entire EU community
)
...but marketing to gamers you are not going to beat PS4 or XBOX or other console gaming systems which is GREAT majority with graphics or playstyles
...you gotta beat them on content and purpose
...marketing strategy
...cut to dude sitting all alone playing skyrim and he completes last mission, jumps up and down, yay! yay!
...screen on TV cuts to credits for game then congratulations you completed the game
...continue now by buying the next disc in series blah blah...he ejects disc
...tosses it in cabinet with pile of other obviously discarded games...what next?
then cut to entropia...features..never ending...it continues forever...differential game play...you can be better than someone with effort
...you can own better equipment than someone else and outperform
...options for player development are endless
...options for creativity are endless
...teaming and joint coordination of activities is seamless
...societies...RCE
...killing something or doing a task now has a purpose not merely completing a mission which ultimately has no purpose once its over
...you can win real money
...meanwhile playing some of best action clips from EU of all activities especially hunting and group activities
...plenty more to consider
...thats it for now...
