Party like a video game entrepreneur

See the gentleman with the dyed hair on the left? His name is Neverdie and playing a video game called Entropia Universe is funding a party in the suite of the Palms hotel. I’ve been to a fair share of parties (years of working at a nightclub) and video game related parties in my life… and this is quite different from what I’ve seen. It’s on the level of a rockstar party, but with a crowd of friendly Entropia Universe players. Neverdie actually profits from the game by capitalizing on people who hunt on his land and rent apartments on his rock. Unlike other virtual worlds Entropia Universe is pro player monitization. I spoke to a number of players here who explained the capitalist structure gives them freedom to empower themselves as players and as people. It’s an interesting real and virtual world I stumbled upon and something I’m barely scratching the surface of. I guess my first thought is about the fusion between the two and the (real) world that thrives off a playing in a virtual one.

 

Update: Neverdie is talking about a battle between the top two players in Entropia Universe. Tomorrow they battle over a piece of land valued at over $25,000. And we’re about to sing a song he created about server update time. Surreal isn’t it?

Did those players told you how Neverdie makes his deals with MA?
Did those players told you how Neverdie has info and time to prepare way ahead of the masses in the game?
Did those players told you that there is no capitalist structure in the game?
Did those players told you that this man offers loans with 40% annual interest through a sinking pawn shop?

Probably not….
I guess the players you met there is the dog companion who worship the ”insider”.

Seems theres a typo there… MindArk FUNDS MMOWC unnoficially. NeverDie is simply an unnoficial paid employee of MindArk, the face of PR for Entropia and a mere puppet.

Don’t believe all that you hear or read, they are in the business to make money and thats exactly what they do. And in regards to inside information, thats 100% true. Anyone who would believe otherwise is not just naive but in some serious denial.

You gets what you pay for, if you invest $100,000 into a company i’d sure as hell want to know a few things in advance too.
Neverdie is an ambassador for EU no doubt and a bloody fantastuc one too! Why not back him and let him take the reigns now and again, or input ideas?

And no i’m no dog companion, but i can call a spade a spade and a shovel a shovel, and Neverdie does nothing but good for EU. Ok theres some spill over there for ND too of course it’s in his best interest for it to succeed as so it’s other peoples, like the new bank ownwers for instance. You don’t see them promoting themselves or EU in the press do you?

So yeah imo Neverdie does a great job and long may he do it. He does a million times better job than you sour people who make it your lives work to put EU down at any opportunity you get, pathetic really!

All the best.

Give me a good reason why to invest 100.000$ in EU?
Why to risk my money when i know that i would get different treatment than Neverdie or Neomaven etc etc….
Others have invest 100.000$ (Robroy, Eps, Eifund, Akoz(Qetesh)) in the game and they dont get any info like them…
You have waste thousand of $ to be a wannabie as well…
Did MA give you any info about the future?

Thats the great job Neverdie does to the game. To keep out future investors from the game. Too bad they hanvent realised that in MA. The best thing to do is to clean this rubbish now that they have brought the game to a stand still. And try to bring new players in the game cause at the moment the game seems is going down.
Injections of cash from malls/LA’s/banks etc are good but at the end of the day its the players that they use them…
And with no new players its finito….

The only pathetic here is you mate….
You have wasted thousands of $ to become someone in the game with your silly videos and music and seems even your mother doesnt know you. So keep hanging around Neverdie and he may throw a bone to you to lick….

Don’t let this Iltropia guy scare you off. Entropia is a great game! Dont treat it as anything more than a game and you wont be disappointed. Something tells me iltropia thought he had a get-rich-quick in entropia scheme that failed on him…

Herbalizer Says:

Entropia Universe is indeed a great game and has some similarities with the real life cash economy -> if you don’t take care of your cash and just try hardcore you can get rid of MUCH money…
Play it wisely and you might profit ;-)

People which think they gonna play a game and in the end of the day they earned a few hundred $ or more… is that realistic??? I don’t think so…
with other words: you need brain to play EU – that’s the thing which makes the game so interesting!

Beta Player Says:

Yea.. its a great game, if you want to play with pedophiles, cheaters, bug exploiters, people that get inside information and obviously have an advantage over regular players, skill endlessly because you will never achieve the levels those who started earlier have, nerfed skills, pointless professions (taming and mindforce anyone?), constant ctd’s and bugs… the list goes on and on.

Yea- MindArk is great… even down to the point of selecting good standing ambassadors in the community. Maybe check out this site… alot of info there that is heavily censored in other Entropia mediums.

Oh lookie there, an ambassador involved in illegal activies in real life. Yes, Entropia surely is a great game! And that’s only one of them…

Some people just spam forums instead of playing the actual game. Don’t listen to these people who think they will get an ath by kissing ass… there is definetly an underground culture within Entropia and it ain’t a pretty one. Don’t pick and choose what you want to see or hear…
