Teleporter Fees on the way, says President of the Virtual Reality...

Although, they wouldn't want this as we won't be able to travel between games, from EU to WOW disregarding the fact they're on completely different game engines, game code etc. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

this could never happen, else we'd have half naked female orcs charging around, best i can imagine is you pay to tp over to WOW and you create a new character with the name box already filled in.... or you sign up normally for free.

only game i can see a cross over semi working is EVE for space, but thats never gonna happen either
 
Actually... isn't this a better plan?:

Remove all TPs, double the speed of vehicles and double the range on all teleport chips.

This way, new players have a boosted source of income (massive increase in ME(sweat) and oil usage), and MA get their cut from the decay on chips, implants and vehicles?

Still has the great (dis)advantage for them of massively lowering the peds cycled per hour while everyone is travelling around.

I remember, back in the day, to get to the blue area of eudoria in the west you had to run the entire way. And as a noob to get back was a royal pain in the ass, I got to know that outpost rather well lol.

I think i saw most of the landscape that first month, than i have since. (So to speak.)

I actually miss that.....the challenge for a noob to get back from the maffs? and neconus and armaxs was damn hard work. You felt all gooey afterwards for making it back lol


Rgds

Ace


HAHA - i found an old map, from that blue part in the west to hadesheim for a noob was hell lol I remember watching someone trap Neconus and armaxs and meffs in those blue holes they couldnt escape.....ahh those were the days lol

I really hope ND and MA can make the difference between the silent majority and the vocal minority.

Yes, there were definitely a few people that cried and whined about this propose changed, some of them really loud, posting in several threads, but is pretty much the same names... I counted now all names appeared in the threads I could find and the grand total was... 78 people... and if only 78 people had a problem with the change, I guess that's kinda a green light for the change... especially considering that a big part of these 78 people that are now arming against ND and threaten to quit are pretty much the same people that also opposed to any previous changes.

78 People are more people than the ones who voted for Neverdie
 
At least now we know why the oil rig was shot down. It was to easy to pickup oil.
With the new TP fee, the general population are forced to pay for all travel except running.

Then they will make shoes limited and necessary to walk/run.. :wise:

Actually, here is a better plan. Leave the TPs alone. They're not broken. Don't frack with them.
 
I think I figured out what is going on here. Some may like it others may not. This idea is based on MA selling off the platform. What MA wants us to pay for is the development of such a system so we will be able to move between EU and the casino and any other game that MA sale the platform to.

Would you be willing to pay a TP fee for this and/or buy a deed to fund this?

By doing this will MA run into any legal issues? Would they even be allowed to link a casino to EU?

So, I'm not sure what to think here. This moron actually neg-repped me in the thread where he/she was crying about that stupid Monria contest because I pointed out that he/she hadn't been around nearly long enough to have solid idea of who MindStar9 actually is. It was kind of comical, being my second neg-rep in the ten years that I've been here. :laugh:

Now, he/she is here trying to represent him/herself as a member of the "silent majority"??? :eyecrazy:

I'm guessing that he/she picked that one up somewhere on the Internet and doesn't realize that it would have even made the user look like and idiot back during the Reagan era when the right-wingers tried to use it to convince everyone to agree to whatever they wanted to do?

...and everyone who doesn't agree is a "whiner"? Good job! No one has ever tried that one before. :rolleyes: These posts are like some amalgamation of cut and paste cliches from all over the Internet.

So, I guess I'm really struggling to decide whether this person-
A) Actually believes what he/she is saying?
B) Thinks that everyone else is stupid enough to be swayed by these insane statements?
C) Is simply a forum troll, saying blatantly stupid things to get attention?

The one sad fact that the moron may have accidentally gotten correct is that we, the paying customers are quite possibly in the minority. It would interesting to see what the actual numbers are. I'm betting that, much like the true number of active players, this is data that MA will never release. I wonder if the XFire data is still floating around on the Entropia site.

It's just a little girl who has more intellect than anyone around her IRL and very little life experience.

She's making her way out of the small pond to the big waters and isn't clear yet how she fits in.
 
I really like how the discussion is turning out on EF, it is nice that ND is trying to answer a lot of the queries and concerns.

It reminds me of the days when one might hope to get their question answered by MA or later FPC on the forum :laugh:. Now a days it feels a bit like speaking into an empty dark cave where once someone might have lived but has now moved on, but at least we have each other I guess :D. ND is right the discussion is best for a mutual forum, also it is easier for MA to look at one forum rather than every planets.


The forum registration thing is still broken though :(.

"Read more, type less" always seems to be a good way to go.
 
I can also choke a chicken in real life

Farcical thread to go along with an equally farcical idea.


I dont think Neverdie can be compared to Donald Trump btw, DT is quite loud and vocal and yet I dont think ND has posted at all in this thread.
 
It would be nice to have two options: 1) pay a fee and TP directly between planets instantaneously, or 2) pay no "fee" except fuel and 20+ minutes of your time + the risk of being pvp'ed to travel by ship. At least option 2 is there for people who can't afford or don't want to pay for option 1. Also space has some cool mobs etc so people might still want to go into space.

IMO it makes no sense that we can't tp between planets...
That does make no sense
 
That does make no sense

We used to pay 25 ped each way for CND... At least for me that felt like a great adventure. It didn't feel any less of a cool experience because I didn't fly for 20 mins and get blown to bits by pirates several times on the way. But the trip really did feel like a special trip because it wasn't free (and also because there was no storage but that is a different thread). It required some advanced planning etc and I liked the process of getting a pilot and running out to the hanger with 3/4 other people.

Now I can travel between planets to hunt different mobs and experience different things or go to different events, but I rarely do because it takes such a long time to make the trip and I feel a bit "disconnected" that I can't quickly get back. I don't want to sit in my ship, on my own for 20 mins, that's no fun.

25 ped each way but no interplanetary storage, maybe add an additional fee depending on inventory mass - I think this would be a fun dynamic. It would encourage us to travel without our armours/guns/stacks and use "local" weapons/armours.

People can still travel for free through space, people can still carry huge amounts of stuff on the big ships, so the other planets will still be accessible for all and the big ship owners will be ok. The different planets should feel like a more seamless experience imo.

If I want to hunt one particular mob on next island for 1 hour then I should be able to just step into a tp and go do that. I don't want to have to commit to spending several days trying to learn stuff to make the trip worthwhile under this system.

It is mostly Neverdie himself making the comparison in is own press releases which tend to be quite loud and vocal.

LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Visionary entrepreneur Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs, sometimes labelled the 'Digital Donald Trump' for his breath of experience in the world of VR, has been elected the first-ever President of Virtual Reality in an officially sanctioned election hosted by Swedish VR developer Mindark PE AB and supported by a coalition of game developers.

In a similar vein I am sometimes labeled El Jeffe de las Vacas, mostly because of my breath as well.

Yes people we can have fun putting her down but remember this.

Yes good point as we are getting deeper into this. Now if all this idea will be, is to give us back the TP fee for space then yes it would be great to gave it back again. But from the sounds of it it's all TP. Lets hope not and more lets get ND to stop making it sound as if it's his idea and come clean that this is just MA here.


Why it sounds as if it's all TPs is the fact he keeps on saying that it will bring more jobs. Space TP really wouldn't bring more jobs other than the idea of giving motherships cargo runs. That there as we know wouldn't give more jobs. just keep the jobs safe for the motherships owners. The more jobs idea comes into place for the people who doesn't want to play the planet side TP fees and will look to other players for taxi service.

So at end end space TP fees in
Planet side TP fees out.

Ditto most-to-all of that. And the interplanetary TP system outlined in the middle seems pretty good. But mostly... I want to planet hop, not afk for 20 minutes and then find out whether or not I got blown up.
 
What I don't understand is- Since this will absolutely not in any way benefit me, a paying customer, why should I be expected to foot the bill. However, since any real or imagined benefits of this plan will absolutely go directly to MindArk and the Planet Partners, why not just have an IPO for a portion of each of their net incomes and use that to fund this stupid, stupid idea.

Better yet, since he has declared himself to be the President of Virtual Reality, how about he just goes off and victimizes some other game? There must be other games out there that really could benefit from an increased cost of participation.

I bet the WoWtards would be excited about paying a saddling fee for their flying horsies (or whatever they have).

EVE Online is comprised almost entirely of teleporter gates, I bet those guys would be thrilled to pay real world money to use each one of them... Oh, wait, I forgot... They already have the CSM, a body of truly elected players who meet with the developers to actually represent the players' needs and concerns. What was I thinking? I guess there's no need for a "president of virtual reality" there.

Oh well, I'll keep thinking about it. I'm sure we can find an appropriate place for a man of ND's caliber to go.
