Daravel Caldari Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.03.13 23:59:00 - [1] I'd like to see the ability for players to set up a bar/club/gamling den or some such in stations. Provide the right tools to let the better business man win and you provide a new way of making money. Just a little thought, and it is better than NPC run bars. Invasions will be met with hostility and flying marshmallows!

I'd like to see a proper business environment spring up, whereby you are in competition for a customer base: - You have to acquire your drinks and such (using courier contracts, and also add in repeat contracts so you can have the same stuff delivered each month) This creates a race for the cheapest stock, therefore cheapest prices. - Membership fee and non-member entrance fee - entertainment - Prices on drinks, type of club you run and the chance of winning at gambling (player to player gambling or player vs computer) - The type of music you play? What about creating playlists from real world music (provided there are no serious legal problems with that) All of these add up to, a not quite real time occupation but certainly something that if worked on properly can turn into a lucrative business and isk making venture.

Nicely thought out but it sounds a little too much, ah, Second Life OK you can probably do all of that manually in the game (streaming radio stations, not granting access to people who haven't transferred ISK to you and all) but to have it integrated as part of how it would normally function... I'm really not sure it's such a good idea to go too far into the Second Life realms. SL has moved beyond 'game' and into 'actual virtual life' and much as EVE can at times seem like a virtual life, it's not: it is a game and I for one hope to keep that important distinction up. (SL scares me ) Im thinking much less involved. Let me try and make an example: Jita 4-4 sounds like a good place to set up, hundreds of people. however rental costs are higher (same as offices are) Now you have a big empty room, and maybe have to pay a set cost to hire furnishings (this comes in as a bill, like corp bills) You then need stock (set up a contract OR haul it yourself OR make a informal contract with a friend) hire NPC staff and other fun additions Set prices and wait for the punters to appear. The overall level of involvement should be much less than running a corp but it adds to the immersion of knowing that someone real runs this and not some computer. It adds a huge social element. I'd just prefer habing it player controlled rather than computer controlled - as this is meant to be a player driven game. Invasions will be met with hostility and flying marshmallows!
Daravel Caldari Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.03.14 21:23:00 - [4] I also want to see advertising. Think: Big screens all over the station with a huge player owned advert, and maybe even a voice over that echoes throughout the whole station? Or at least some form of way to reach the masses, as of yet, there is no way to advertise, other than forums, and not many people actually use them.
