āThe Howling Mine is set to provide millions of jobs and generate a new economic ecosystem within the metaverse, bridging the gap between virtual and real-world economies.ā
Did I just read millions of jobs? ?

Sigh, collectively it feels like involving one of the people responsible for the worst-designed and thematically breaking parts of the universe with the ānext stage of space developmentā is possibly the worst decision that could have been made. When it felt like MA was starting to get more in touch with the community and making steps in the right direction, it felt like they just slammed the car into reverse.
One thing Iāve very rarely heard in all my time playing the game is āwe need more space lootable pvp (or more space in general)ā - while I donāt doubt that there might be opportunities to be had, thereās still a ton of issues with the game that need addressing first.
A lot of the vision that neverdie has is just not easily translatable into a functional economy for the wider playerbase, essentially providing a Universal Basic Income for players comes at a cost - who will end up paying for that?
Just seems like another case of āshort term gains for long term lossesā. Definitely can self-assess Iām highly critical and pessimistic over the announcement, and will be happy to be proven wrong, but itās not hard to bet against with their current track record.

There is also this part:
This is not an experiment; itās a proven model. NEVERDIEās job system, successfully tested over six years on Rocktropia with 50,000+ completed jobs, has become the planetās most popular mission, demonstrating its scalability and sustainability.
AS RT probably never seen 50.000 peoples ingame ever, it is most likely 50.000 times a mission completed.
Sure, EU playerbase can complete 1 million missions.

Maybe 1 click on a blueprint done counts as one job? ?
If done right it could stimulate the economy. I donāt trust ND to do it right whatsoever. And barely MA. Heck if itās true that CelesteAI knows us this well Iād like for it to be in charge for designing this thing and making adjustments if it doesnāt live to the hype.
The main thing I like from this is to be finally be able to planet hop, hopefully directly from one planet to another without having to rely on a spaceship.

Yeahā¦ cashgrab and a bit tonedeath.
I guess MA either are not aware or chose to look the other way with all the deliberate exploits that Neverdie added to RT like the 0decay weapons and repeatable quests that where not suppose to be repeatable if you knew the āmistakesā he coded in there.
Neverdie is good at starting projects but he really sucks at maintaining them.
I hope MA is prepared to take over and maintain this project as well when Neverdie gets bored again.
Make more ships, saturate warps to kill that job with an asteroid AI job for galactic tp chipsā¦ what can go wrong with stimulating the market using this method when no one needs to visit space anymore?

Though thatās going to depend on cost and how it gets implemented. If its 100 ped a teleport - thatāll fall straight on its face. Or have severe limitations, like 90kgs max weight.
Thatās probobly cause Neverdie can see in his reports how many times people have done a quest or how many unique avatars have done a mission.
I would not put it past him to bend the numbers a bit for an articleā¦ one of his qualities is talking big and selling a product.

Look at it this way. ND has a track record of hmmm letās put it this way, things not quite going right. With that track record and making various mistakes along the way he can only do better. Generally people learn from their mistakes. So itās possible heās learnt lessons from the past and will make another big fat mistake 
(joking). Maybe he with the aid of AI/MA and us can make something of this.
@Nanashana presumably ND will pay a set rate for loot thatās needed for teleportation. He will then convert that loot into actual usable teleportation. Hence the people paying for it all will be people wanting to TP from one planet to another.
Dec is not so far away guess weāll see how this pans out.

Intergalactic teleportation - I wonder if it is some kind of Warp technology, or is it some form of Teleportation Chip deluxe?

Concerning The Howling Mine Press Release.
Jon Jacobs came with a proposal to MA he called āthe Howling Mine projectā. Since MA had planned upgrades to space it seemed fitting to add new attractions in space so Jonās proposal came at a fitting time. In essence Jon bought the deeds of the howling mine including some graphical changes according to his proposal.
The Press Release was published by Jon as a player of Entropia, not on behalf of MindArk. Mindark has NO control over how Jon promotes the Howling mine to attract new players.
Mindark will consider any proposal it may receive.

Massive Looting opportunities in hunting, mining and crafting. #1 ATH in excess of $50,000 USD
At least he knows how to attract new players, not some dumb ass shit , walk 3 weeks collect all tps, sweat for 2 weeks and then become f2p.
And no, I donāt like space but I am sure others will.

āUpon its launch, players will face space piratesā
I wonder whatās it about? Sounds like boosting aggression? Are we going deeper into humans against humans?
Can you confirm the following:
Will we actually be able to planet-hop as he claims? I.e like being able to tp from one planet to another.

This exciting gameplay could make space piracy one of the most lucrative virtual professions in the game
This is one of the things that people hate the most in this hame. Add more of it, good idea, yeah, why not make theft of digital assets that by all means should be illegal into one the most ālucrative virtual professionsā, nothing can go wrong here.
