UPDATE: NASA Picks Virtual Heroes and Whitecard for MMO?, Virtual Worlds News
"Last month NASA announced that it had selected three proposals to hear for its upcoming educational virtual world. It appears a decision has been made. We were passed what seems to be, though we haven't been able to confirm, an email from MindArk CEO Jan Welter Timkrans to some members of Entropia, which was up for consideration, explaining that NASA had chosen to go in another direction with the project. The email (below) names Virtual Heroes and Project Whitecard as the winners. UPDATE: We heard confirmation from MindArk about the choice and that the developers of Entropia intend to, as NASA suggested, "move ahead with the project independently."
Isn't this typical of NASA, they buy from a company which according to its own CEO seems to be going under no matter if they get the deal or not! When you look at Virtual Heroes and Project Whitecard's webpages it seems like they have no experience in creating a MMO! The logic to learn from this must be: When you want to build a house go to the local baker and get them to build/bake it! lol.
