Fresco texture hunters'll be happy I guess
Like many mobs now, they do have a tendency to run after someone other that the person that tagged them first. Most ppl seemed to be playing nice though.
They drop like mad - so yes - they probaby will.Fresco texture hunters'll be happy I guess
Only 1 thing - How do you pronounce this critter's name? Fres ko KU da?

Great story and gratz to Deathifier for another release.
A few more levels to go on the Powerfisting and I should be able to use the Cleaver.
Does anyone know if the Cleaver is powerful enough to take one of these beasties down?

Nice article, MS9.
There's another funny part of the story. Ofc as soon as the new items started popping, everyone wanted in. The eastern edge of the LA was lined with green dots hoping a red dot would appear within marber range of the non-LA land.
Failing that, we worked out hilarious tactic of running into the LA, marbering a fresca, and running out before the 20 second timer finished--sending us back to the TI Castle revive.
It was hard to get just right, so often you'd see a red dot moving toward the edge after a green dot, then the green dot would disappear and the red dot stopped moving.
Made for a fun atmosphere, anyway!
Too bad that actual "little" LA owners can't afford new DNAs as they wouldn't profit from it. Yet another failure from MA to allow the market not to be dedicated to only a 1 or 2 people.
I wonder why people are gratzing ... For me it's sad news when I see a monopole ...
Lack of competition ... Lack of interest.
they loot Anaconda! (omg, precisely on the weekend i finished my project and have finally time to play a bit).
I really hope you get one from them
Just out of curiosity ... what did you mean by "little LA owners" ... are you talking about LA owners outside of Deathifier and ND? Whenever DNA parts become available for new mob construction, it is my understanding that anyone has the opportunity to bid on them. Is it not possible for all LA owners to construct DNA for a new mob on their LA's? Also, why would you say they wouldn't profit from it if they were able to construct a new DNA mob? I would think that people would be inclined to hunt the LA if this were the case, no? Or am I just not looking at this right.
With regard to competition ... it's not any different really, than those who end up bidding on a high-priced item up at auction either here or inside EU. Everyone doesn't have the disposable cash available to purchase certain items, including DNA parts, but everyone does have the option to. It was mentioned in the article that Deathifier ended up in a bid war against Robroy for a DNA part, but it was more specific to time than value.
People are Gratz'ing because ... it took a lot of time, effort, and peds of course to accomplish what Deathifier has accomplished. He's a businessman in this virtual universe, just like anyone who owns real estate ... yourself included Hon ... so you do what you can afford to do. It seems that DNA parts are a high-cost commodity, but I think I can understand that, given the potential of the return on investment.
Sorry you feel the way you do Hon ... but I tend to be happy for those who find a way to achieve their goals. I know it can be a struggle, and that all things may not seem fair to some, but nonetheless, the opportunities are really open to all ... you just need to have enough ped to underwrite some of them, and Lootius knows the majority of us don't.

i'm an land owner and i must agree with zhorgul on this point, every new mob are bought by 2-3 guys (no name but we all know who) and it's almost impossible for new investor to have one land with a interessing mob.
we all know who will buy the next uber mob.
I would like to see the possibility to everyone want to invest to have a good mob on his land , in my opinion we need more mobs at one correct price.
/sry for offtopic
Don't misunderstand me. Deathifier did good. I blame MA on this.
it is very simple to understand, CND and TI owners would definitly earn much more from a new mob than any other LA owners. They promote their whole complex/island this way and get various incomes from all other mobs as well. A LA owner would only promote his little piece of land somewhere hence much less return.
It is just impossible for a "normal" LA owner to profit from new mob DNA with the current price tag they have.
There is just no surprises here ... It's unchallenging and makes alot of potential investors loosing interests on this virtual world. That's why I call it a sad day.
MA is making more instant money with this system, but on a long term they'd loose more regarding to discouraged investors. WE want this world to continue, MA needs to seduce people not discourage them. That's my point!
