Entropia Universe News - Q&A With Marco Behrmann

Posted by Dana Massey on May 31, 2005  | 22 comments in our forums

Our own Richard Duffek had a chance to quiz Marco Behrmann of MindArk, the makers of Project Entropia, about the game's progress and his take on many hot button issues in the industry.

MMORPG.com: Recently Sony Online Entertainment announced the inception of their new “Station Exchange” program where players could buy and sell ingame items for real world cash. Seeing as PE has done this from the beginning how do you feel about a company such as SOE who has always been so adamantly against said actions reversing their stance and embracing it?
Marco Behrmann: It was to be expected. When I was at E3 last year representatives from Sony approached me about the concept of Project Entropia. When they understood our unique idea they were baffled. Then they realized that this is the way of the future. I see the Station Exchange as a very small move towards the concept Project Entropia already have proved working, and based on the all the spies from the other big MMOG-developers who lurk in Project Entropia, I’d say this is only the beginning – in a few years time, the subscription business model will be a minority.
