Article in Dutch magazine Panorama - Realityport

ViagraFalls · 03-03-2006, 02:42 PM

On Wednesday, the new Panorama came out, featuring an article about making money in the virtual world. The magazine found PE after the sale of CND, and interviewed three Dutch players.

They first initiated contact with ChainFire (who is the developer of everybody's favourite PE addon PE Assistant) and interviewed him and JSExtreme. ChainFire then supplied them with a way to get in touch with yours truly. The result is an article about an online career, with a side-article where three Dutch players give their opinions about PE, CND, and a virtual economy.

I have just scanned a copy (in PDF), and will work on a translation of the text tonight. However, due to copyright etc, I am not sure whether posting it would be legally allowed (ChainFire already asked the reporter). Seeing as how ChainFire was the first one they approached, if and when permission is given, I will have him do the honors (Keep into account the PDF is 10 MB (Three A-4 pages, including graphics)).

Don't post anything 'til I got word from the journalist, VF, else it'd be copyright infringement. He told me he would ask the "boss" but I've had no reply yet. I didn't actually ask if it could be posted here, just EF (sorry ND), so when the time comes I will probably post a link here to the topic on EF, if nobody minds.

I'll see about converting that PDF to a less bandwidth consuming format as well

(as soon as I get it from VF)

EDIT: The magazines homepage is http://www.panorama.nl, doesn't mention the article and I don't think they ship overseas either

EDIT2: Journalist said he would get back to me about allowing the article to be posted on monday.

Well I know it was long ago but I actually did get that permission. No scanner though, and VF STILL hasn't gotten me the scans.
