http://www.slashgear.com/see-virtua...ael-jackson-online-game-is-real-mmo-21103563/SEE Virtual Worlds is the company behind the title, and they are putting all of their effort into the upcoming game. Planet Michael: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Online Game will see players completely immersed in the life of the late Michael Jackson. The product description reads that players will be able to “Make yourself a home on Planet Michael where old and new friends can appreciate the magic of his music and his commitment to spreading messages of love and peace.”
There will be a focus on completing objectives, tasks, and challenges, and players will be able to interact with other players, which includes “combat.” Unlike other MMOs out there, this time around you’ll be dancing. Squaring off another player to “win.”
The way I read that is that MA needs to add game mechanics that don't currently exist. For example, dancing pvp.
Since these mechanics would seem to only affect Planet Michael having this totally different gameplay style planet may slow the development (from a platform perspective) of Calypso.
In short, while MA is working on dancing for Planet Michael they're not working on beacons.
