David Simmons called me last week about my interest in developing a new planet for Entropia. I don't have much information I'm allowed to give here due to an NDA, but I thought I would let everyone know that what you can expect to see on new planets is basically anything someone can dream up.
My understanding is that anything you want to do can be done with your planet so long as it falls in line with the general basis of Entropia.
They are selecting planet owners that will cater to specific niches. I personally was interested in establishing a planet focused around sports, music and mystery inside a violent world. However, I've decided to begin development on my own RCE game called Zempa Universe of which a team is being put together.
There is a chance down the line that I will take Mindark up on establishing a planet as it seems like a fair enough deal, however, I would like to get a bit more into the fabric of MMORPG and the associated economics and establish my own RCE world prior to engaging in a planet in EU.
In any case, those of you looking to work together on your own planet or something should start with 2 million in funding in the least for development costs over the first couple of years.
I wont go into the specifics due to the NDA but if you have the money, I can see how this kind of partnership could be beneficial. Just dont expect to develop a planet and suck the life out of Calypso as MA only wants developers capable of marketing their planet as a stand alone product with little mention of EU. The idea is to cater to niches and draw new people in, not recycle current players.
Hope this helps anyone interested.
