ill sell you it, just step into my office and my team will deal with the paperwork

on a more serious note, you could sub 1000 accounts . a year of thats about 180k could probly get a subsidy toward an extra pair of hands for that

I'll leave this thread here for now... but SOE couldn't sell you MxO because SOE doesn't own the IP.

Oh come now Tseng, surely you can requisition a suitcase filled with a few million dollars from your new job.  Just tell thm its top secret national security or some such.

Acually, the makers of this game should buy MxO and combine the two games into one.  My Stag "Mr. Toodles" will pwn all n00bs.

How gracious of you to allow the forums to be used for discussion.

Mmm, the IP still belongs to the Wachowski Brothers, and they're notoriously reclusive and hard to contact, or so I'm told.

Just for fun.....

$20,000,000. It really cost that much?

How much did others cost to write?

Lets see at 30,000 (which were the last subscriber numbers I could find for about 3 years ago) that's (Gonna really show off my bad maths now) $450,000 per month ($15 per month per sub).  So that's $5,400,000 a year?

So take away $400,000 a year for running costs (ie development, hardware costs and promotion)

Still means 4 years to pull back development costs? OUCH!

That means with present sub numbers, they're well short of the $20 mil.

Didn't TasteeWheat attempt to buy it a few years back on behalf of his investors, but got rejected because they were not prepared to give it up?

Let's all buy MxO shares.. oooh, ohh, I pick the car!

Offer rescinded.
