With CP i had myself been a big advocate of buying the shares and had told everyone i knew in game who asked to buy as much as they can and which most people did.
However, with the AG shares, it is very difficult to make anything out without getting some relevant details. As MA is seeking investors, I am sure answer to these questions will help provide more clarity to the investors and help make the sale a success.
Questions
1. As the Gorgon Armor seems to be the central item of interest which will bring people from across the universe, it would make sense to provide more information about how these armors can be obtained. The stats are genuinely awesome but
a. Will they be tradeable?
b. What will be the cost of making them ( in terms of tt value leaving aside the drop rate)
c. Drop rate of components I am pretty sure you cannot tell us but how about relatively rarity of getting the various sets.
2. Revenue is generated from all activity within the designated server area of Ancient Greece.
100% of share revenue is paid as dividends to shareholders.
Share revenue represents 50% of Next Island’s planet partner revenue for all activity on Ancient Greece.
Seems a bit confusing as from what i remember for people from other planets, 50% goes to base planet of origin , 25% to MA and 25% to destination planet. ( I do not remember the 50/25/25 distribution very clearly so there is scope of some error there). So from that 25% basically, the shares will get 12.5% of the activity in AG distributed is my current understanding.
a. Am i in the ballpark of being correct?
b. The above shows the focus of PP's as initially imagined was to bring new players into EU. How does NI plan to do that? Is any part of the 750k usd for marketing/advertising EU ??
3. AG is not new to the game. In fact the first time around it had a lot of activity surrounding the archon and philosopher blueprints and a lot of grinders in game were there. Considering this can we not get some form of ROI calculation based on past results? I mean it was generating a good bit of income and why was that value not provided to give perspective to the 750k usd valuation of shares? If the above data can be provided it would be great for everyone. It had a lot of bottlenecks like no TP etc so we will understand how to calculate based on renewed mechanics and effort but something to begin with would be nice.
4. Is the area going to be taxed? From the data so far it looks like the shares will be part of the PP revenue/profit model and not a taxed area. Am i correct in my assumption of the same? Please clarify
5. Is there a scope for NI to be moved closer to Calypso? Personally, I do not think this will happen as that would be pretty unfair to PP's like Toulan . Alternately, as i had suggested long back, make Calypso at the center perhaps so that every other PP has equal leverage in terms of traveling to and fro from the hub.
6. Lastly, but most importantly what is the timeline for implementation of the
a. Gorgon Armor Upgrade chain.
b. 8 new and completely reworked creatures.
c. 2 complex mission chains containing treasure hunts, kill-point missions, crafting objectives, mining runs, and in-depth storyline.
d. 21 new blueprints unique to the theme of Ancient Greece
