Recent Land Deed ROI and Observations

Land deeds I am told have hit 6 peds this last week in dividends. However, I wanted to report that during Merry Mayhem the dividends plummeted I am told to as little as 50 pecs, at which point some people got upset and sold out... Logic might suggest Merry Mayhem would be more profitable than normal times, however... Being limited to what, 30 hours of gameplay or something like that... All I know is I would have maxed it out in less than two days, is why I never do Merry Mayhem...

See.. Only the people who have a lot of peds will take part in Merry Mayhem. And by limiting the hours participants can play, that limits how many peds will be spent, and taken in by MindArk. Most of the players not bound by the time limitations are people busy sweating or otherwise low budget players. The breadwinners are forced to ration their play time by the contest rules, so it does not surprise me that the dividends sank to an incredible low.

Of course, after Merry Mayhem, we seen the ROI's return to normal 5 ped range. And, now, we see some growth. It is quite possible as Entropia becomes more popular, that we will see 10 ped dividends before the year is out.

However... EVEN at 50 pecs per share... That's 5 cents on $100 per week... You still are beating the savings account interest paid by banks. Not to mention when you consider what the ROI on a normal payout is, 50 cents or 60 cents a week. Savings accounts MAYBE pay half a percent per year. Think about it. If I had $100,000 in a savings account, I sure as hell wouldn't let the banks use it and pay me pitiful interest rates. I'd make the first priority to own
