OK so how have MindArk done this year with their goals and aspirations?
Some people will remember this 2004-2005 roadmap:
http://www.project-entropia.com/StdContent.ajp?Id=1379
Time for a quick run down 
A selection of content coming during 2004-2005
YUP Add new functions to auction – adding functions like purchase orders of bulk items.
- YUP!
NOPE Add new functions to societies – society functions will be deepened and much more control will be issued.
- Hmm… didn’t notice
YUP Add new levels and professions for crafting.
- YUP!
YUP Add stats to tools – tools will get the same amount of info as weapon and armor counter-parts, making it easier to assay them.
- Think so…
NOPE Advertising/Department stores – set up shop in a department store, advertise your stuff and become a successful retailer.
- NOPE!
NOPE Bars – Bars will be places of relaxation and entertainment, everything a weary avatar needs.
- I would like company and drinks, No one goes in bars… maybe none of us are weary enough?
YUP Beauty/Body shops – Shops where you can alter the looks of your avatar, with completely new appearances and styles, including piercing and tattoos.
- Not shops and no tatoos etc but we can get plastic surgery and hairdoos
NOPE Bounty hunting system – are you annoyed because you got killed by some bully? Set a contract on him and make him pay the consequences.
- NOPE
YUP Carpentry – new crafting profession, making furniture and other similar items.
- YUP!
NOPE Crafters will be able to repair items – meaning you don’t have to run back to the imperial communal repair terminals.
- Don’t think so…
NOPE Enhanced chat/messaging system – allowing for more advanced functions, like grouping, blocks and offline messaging.
- Didn’t notice it
NOPE Event tools – make tools available for Project Entropia participants to organize their own events, with ticket sales, area rentals and rules.
- Arenas but nothing else
NOPE Food/Drinks – a new crafting profession, food and drinks will enhance the avatar abilities.
- Fruit enhances pets in that they keep moving
YUP Huge Mindforce update – both the way Mindforce the interface works as well as numerous new powers.
- Wormholes and TP’ing are kinda cool
YUP Land management system – you want to enhance your lands with new creatures, or perhaps add new minerals to it? Go ahead.
- YUP smells and all
NOPE New planets – what lies beyond Calypso?
- answers on a postcard to…
NOPE Notary/Reputation system – are you good or evil? Can you be trusted or not? This system will help determine what kind of person the avatar is.
- Reading EF? Must have missed this one
NOPE Space exploration/combat – discover new areas in space, mine asteroids, fight pirates, enhance your space ship with additional equipment, weapons and shields.
- someone was playing a little too much EVE online
YUP Taming system – ever wanted to own your pet Atrox and ride it off towards the sunset? This system makes it happen.
- YAY!
YUP Update “Pre-Gold” items to “Ancient” status – some items are truly rare and respected.
- Think so
NOPE Vehicles – be a bus driver or maybe a heavy machinery operator. Or make a living hauling large quantities of ore.
- maybe with trade runs to club neverprofit but I think they meant landside stuff so no
OK So 9 out of 21 ideas isn’t so bad? and we’ve had other things we hadn’t been expecting like dungeons of sorts and some nice stories about stuff happenning and some event type things such as the roman ram and axe. There’s a lot of cool new buildings and music too.
Not such a bad year although I’d say playability over profit any day.
Hope this is interesting
