O_O*** I just want to point out I don't eat that much and such a price tag would pay my living expenses for many years! Wistrel -------------------- [i]"It is not important whats happening on the screen. It is important whats happening in your head."[/i] - possibly Mr McC ,-)

Press release as well here:
http://www.mcvuk.com/press-releases/55426/Planet-Calypso Seems that Deathifier is slowly building is Business Empire. Although for US$70,000 I hope that whatever comes out of the egg spews out golden eggs or something. |

Well he is into collecting trinkets I think for that mansion of his.... but even so... even if it IS some sorta mega atrox I can't see it ever being worth that much!

So here is my conspiracy theory on this.
Money changed hands outside of the game. The true value of the egg was negotiated between them and we will never know how much was actually paid for it. It is mutually beneficial to both and all big rollers in Entropia to have a publicly high price as this keeps the world thinking these investments are rosy.

How about - for that price MA has given them some indication of the potential value of the egg...otherwise the price is just silly and I don't think either of them are that silly....

Probably lays Kinder Surprise eggs with Imp MK 2's inside.
Or... Maybe each Atrox Surprise eggs has the blueprint for one component for a Vehicle. So by the end of the year you have all the blueprints to make a Chopper Bicycle. |

I think you might be onto something there Wist. That really is quite a lot of dosh for something universally laughed at as one of MA's long unfinished projects.
All I know is that whatever was paid for it, if the money's between Deathifier and Neverdie, they probably know a little more than we do. This is yet another reason I really dislike the way MA do business. The price for this object is resting on the potentials of work FPC is going to do in the future, and this is mostly based on what appears to be privileged information. Even still, one has to marvel at quite how much money this stuff can command. Not saying I agree with it, but it's pretty amazing one way or another. |

I don't think the price can possibly have a grounding in reality or a perceived real worth. This is sheer speculation and artificial price inflation.
