from my experience of these things, any buyer looking at taking HSX on...

would have little interest in altering a format that works and attracts many loyal players or else they would risk jeopardising their investment. To this end, it would make no sense in offending or turning off current users by messing up the gameplay side or even rendering their port values meangingless*.

Naturally they would look to firm up the financial side of the concept: be it through advertising or annual subscription fees or as I have long thought would be a good idea, creating a seperate/parallel option that is similar to a fantasy sports concept: whereby players buy into seasonal leagues (at various buy in limits) are allocated a fund, and have to maximise the value of the fund before the end of the defined season, with prizes available for the winners and HSX taking a cut of the buy in fees.

* As someone with a pretty meaningless port value as it is, maybe I am not that fussed about this anyway. I have long thought it would be good if the game was less a perpetual marathon and more competitive for the players who joined later.

if the site makes no money, then it is not a "format that works", and I know how we all say how we would be willing to pay to play, my gut islander Aug 16, 06:04

I could probably give a darn good change at making money without changing current game play much, if at all. Scorpion [FOXX Fund] Aug 16, 07:35
