In
the same manner as back in the wild west era in the United States,
Project Entropia participants will be given the opportunity to
participate in this epic land grab event!
Virtually
all the land on the continent will be up for grabs in time.
Land areas vary in size up to the maximum, which is about 1000
acres. The land is pristine and untamed, and you can not count
on staying safe in any area of the new continent.
The
stakes are high. As the owner of a piece of land a society will
be able to collect a fee from any hunter, miner or other resource
gatherer active on their land. The fees may be set individually,
in the range 0 to 10%, according to the will of the owning society.
All revenue generated from the society-owned land will automatically
be distributed between the society members.
The
land owning societies will also in a later stage be given the
opportunity to sell house-building lots to any Project Entropia
participant. The lots available for sale will vary in number and
size depending in the size of the land owned by the society.
The preliminary rules and regulations
of the land grab:
(1)
Any land area can be claimed by any functioning, non-pending,
society. (Note that it takes seven days go get a society into
a qualified state).
(2) Any person within a society can claim a piece of land in the
name of the whole society. The land is claimed by finding a “claim
stake” for a certain piece of land. Click on the stake and
follow the instructions presented.
(3) The land has to be successfully defended for 12 consecutive
hours before the ownership of the land is turned over to the society.
(4) After a six month period ownership is transferred back (Excluding
any house building lots already sold. Meaning that an individual
person is in possession of the house-building loot deed).
(5) Defence of the land is achieved in the following manner: At
least one member of the society will have to be alive and present
within a radius of 30 meters from the stake at all times from
when the land is claimed until the full 12 hours has elapsed.
If all Society members have exited the radius, the stake will
emit a warning signal (sound and light) for a period of 60 seconds.
This is a grace period given, during which any living society
member has to get inside the radius or the claim for the land
will be lost and thus enabling another society, or the same society
for that matter, to restart the land claiming process.
(6) A single society may only claim one piece of land at a time.
A single society may own an unlimited number of areas in total.
(7) All Project Entropia participants eligible for participation
in the land grab will have the possibility to be teleported to
a random location on the new continent at a certain time on a
certain day a short time after the PE VU 6.1 release, scheduled
for a late September release. A time period of reconnaissance
is set, before the actual land grab starts, to allow for getting
accustomed to the new continent. Land grab areas will be activated
at different intervals once the land grab event starts.
(8) If you die while on the new continent you will be teleported
back to Eudoria (the first continent). You can then get back to
a random location on the new continent through any teleport presently
available.
(9) To survive the hardships the new continent presents you will
have to meet certain standards to participate. Before the time
of the land grab your avatar must meet at least one of the criteria
listed below. We communicate the set standards at this early date
to give you lots of time to get in shape.
