I saw today Orlandio 's interview with a citizen Ozirus on primera but some of europa players don't have account there so i decided to post it here! Of course i got a permission from author of this article for doing so:
So not prolonging anymore. Here is an Orlandio 's interview with Ozirus so you may know a little bit more about her : 1. First of all Ozirus, thank you for joining this interview! 1. You're welcome.
2. How serious are you with your offer to buy e-Sim? Why would anyone buy a game like that for 25 million dollars? 2. Well, i guess that anyone wouldn't buy it, but i will. The reasons are simple, this game needs a massive change. It is not only a question of money, i am not buying E-Sim only from Railman, i am buying it from Massive Online Games. That is why i offered such amont of money to the HQ. It looks crazy, but you can't imagine the potential of such a game. My opinion is that the owner should not be a simple administrator, making money from the players. He must be a player, editing their game and listening to what they really want.
3. How much money is 25 000 000 USD for you? What do you do in real life? 3. I am actualy CEO in an european cereal industry (e-Sim is the only online game i like to play). You can consider me as a businesswoman, but here, i'm just a player.
4. Of all the games that need changes, why e-Sim? Why not eRep for example? 4. eRep is very different from e-Sim. If Railman did reject my offer, i would've made a lower offer to my second choice eRep. E-Sim has much more potential.
5. If you became the owner, would it be right to assume that the playership of the game would rise and if so, then how much? How big is the potential of e-Sim for you? 5. The goal is over 20,000 on the coming Ultima server (Secura+Primera) if the players vote YES to the coming poll which will start in December. Concerning Suna, a massive campaign will take place through Facebook. Also, many countries will join the existing servers. Europa won't be edited that way and will stay as it is now, till we merge it with Primera.
I must say that 20,000 is a temporary goal. Every important update will be submitted to the players in a poll
6. Why wouldn't you just build a new game from scratch and waste a 100 000 tops on it? 6. Because the design of e-Sim is very interesting. I got a large imagination but i think that it is better to make the good changes in a good game. That's more profitable for everyone. Also, concerning the price, if i wasn't ready to buy it from MOG, do you think that i would've submitted such offer? Life is sometimes made of risks. Let's see what will happen. I want e-Sim to be the biggest and most attractive game of its kind.
7. Do you think you will earn your money back? 7. Well, as i said, it is a big risk, but i'm ready for it, actually the owner gets good profits from it, as everyone knows, but more than what everybody thinks. With good improvements that players (not only gold buyers) will like, that could increase.
8. How did Railman respond to your request? 8. He simply answered to my email and gave me a confirmation in game.
9. How did you get in the cereal business and is there many girls as successful as you? 9. My dad told me once that i was the son that he always wanted to have. Sounds weird for a stranger, but i did like that sentence. He just left his position when he was tired about it and i got the leadership (i was working as his secretary before).
10. Final question: Will we all find out tomorrow that you were trolling? 10. I wouldn't have submitted such an offer to Admin if i didn't plan to buy E-Sim for real. In my life i used not to play with money. But my money could help anyone to play E-Sim another way.
11. Thank you for this interview and however this works out, it was great to interview you! 11. The pleasure is mine. Glad to be in one of your articles, even if i don't play Primera much. I like your job since the first article i read from you. Keep it up, we'll need players like you.
And what is your opinion in this topic? What do you you thing about this idea and would you like to have new game admin?
Once again thanks to Orlandio for letting me post it here!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth.
Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit
different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be
efficiently
managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation.
Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the
game.
Work for the good of your country and
see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules.
First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you
will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress
as a fighter.
You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which
are owned by the state.
After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your
own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock
company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics
in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes.
From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability
to run for the head of the party you're in.
You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws
proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself.
Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you.
You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential
elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state
(for example, who to declare war on).
Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have
a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military.
In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control
over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials.
For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have
to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on
their territory.
You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life
as a pacifist
who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling
products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game.
It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present
in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth
according to their own.
So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
