The Announcement!
By Kate PP
The announcement, the future of Eros Island, people biting nails. Since the announcement March 17th that Eros had 10 days and then it was getting shut down, crying broke out everywhere.
We are moving Blow Torch, Crash and Illusive announce to a packed house. Over 600 people logged in to either Eros Transport or the World Complex. Some sat in their home and listened to the meeting through profiles of Dj’s that put the stream in.
The news was greeted in different ways. Some rallied behind the boys that said they had been just as surprise about how it came about but then went on to explain that the options to the new location that they could do, "Bitch Slap." Won the community over.
They did continue to say the deco and graphics were much better. Gave details on the types of servers and the stretch and blah blah blah. Tech stuff that was not heard. People were too busy talking about what kind of program. Where they going to be able to work on their computers.
Then other things started to come up, VIP's were they going to honor them? Yes they were going to let people keep their VIP's. No matter if they had just logged in and moved with us they would honor the VIP.
Another issue people brought up was clams. Many had invested in lots of clams. They system there will be coin, not clams. But yes they were working on getting that worked out.
As question came out one thing the 3 owners (Blow Torch, Crash and Illusive) stressed was that they were jumping to the new server and that there were lots of things not done yet and that they were working on it and that Crash has gone bald trying to get it done. They told the people plz give us to the weekend.
As the feeling continues to rise as they sell the new location to the community. Excitement builds and it's over the adventure. There were warnings made that it was gonna be rough. There was gonna be work to do.
Your princess here had flash backs of my pioneer days. Some have said they are done they feel cheated. Some want to sue. Some cried and said they just couldn't and they would miss family and friends.
The meeting ended with info on how to get to the new Eros. Support was sent up, they thanked everyone for support. But the scene after the meeting was almost tear jerking. Local was filled with I’ll miss you’d, love you’d, even some here's my number. Hugz and tears was only one side, the other was excitement on the idea of creating a new world.
