FYI: Entertainment

[Pink]

I do a lot of event promotion, radioshows, flying and such things within entropia universe...Is there things u would like to see expanded?
Is there new features you would like to see and participate in?
Or do you think the entertainment section inside EU is good the way it is now?

You do a lot of good stuff within EU pink and entertainment in EU is good. The one thing which i'd like to see change (though its not really something one person can do, it would require the majority to make the switch), is the so-called "pilot mafia" and line wars. It isn't really that big a thing to me, as I don't fly too often, but it's the only thing I was able to think of that could do with improving

I agree with that....
But as soon as space will open i assume we can say goodbye to the pilot wars as well...

I guess we all wished there would be a line by then

Is this focused on Entropia or all games? After all it is posted in the General Section.

you can use it for other games as well....
I was just wondering and curious what effect entertainment has on your gameplay and what u would like to see changed...

Pink rocks... she is an awesome event promoter in EU. There are also tons of great events hosted in Second Life and IMVU, and a lot of promoters for other worlds get their ideas from things that they've seen in those two worlds. I personally think that game developers (such as MA) would provide more flexibility and tools for event hosting as events really bring a rich level of socialization to game worlds. I would venture to say that every dollar spent by a dev company to create tools for event hosting is repayed by at least 5 dollars in free advertising for their game world from those event hosts advertising their events outside of the world.

But i agree, there can be done so much more with events.
I tho am happy i can do live commentary, it's one of the assets that makes events spactacualr to participate in.
it's like being at a motorcross or soccer game or whatever ur ineterest is.
Live commentary makes ppl pumped to score, and hear a shoutout of their name.


I myself would like to see mpre options with leaderbords, and options in event creation. To fully manage all these things, there should be a total make over of the option that have been provided to us now.

I agree with Pink about leaderboards, they would be nice to have. A few other things I would like to see (in EU specifically) are:

- The ability to add your own items into the lootpool of a certain area for a certain time. This would be great for events on, say... Allophyl lands... where whoever finds the pink Bono shades wins part of the event contest.

- Static posters - Display boards are cool, but certain walls to stick posters onto would be cool for lower-cost (and more limited word limit / graphics) advertising.

- Ticket machines spread around for ticketed events where a percentage of the cost went to the event host. I envision these to be much like shopkeepers in terms of decay.

- Tip jar - An event host's favorite item in Second Life

... and there are so much more that can be done to expand event management in EU and elsewhere.

well as it comes to spreading tickets....the fact is and i see this every week,
that ppl like to buy their tickets a maximum of 1 day prior the event.

I use shops, salesman and myself and the terminal to spread tickets.
But most tickets are sold by me or the event terminal.
It's ok tho, I will keep doing the spreading of the tickets, cuz if one person reads it and finds out there is nothing there, then thats bad promo for me.

I also have a banner running on EF, it runs forever...so all you have to do is click on it and you will know how and what.

Since 99% of the areas are public in EU, there is not really a way to hang posters.
But what i would like to see, is that u can upload your own pictures in the entropia universe advertising system. I think ppl will use it more then.

Ticket machines would be a good idea...
Like at every teleport there is a ticket box where u can choose ur event u wanna do, and then buy your ticket for that, a small ammount for tax that goes to MA and then the rest goes to the event promoter...
That indeed would be a great idea....
