6. I'm drawn to this game by the promise that I can get real money from it.
Probably I will disappoint you, but - as far as i know there are only no more than 5 players in all game, who won more than ~400 bucks. I mean players from ALL realms (now there are 5 realms), not only from Lien or Mary.
Correct me, if i'm wrong, but nobody on Lien, or maybe 1/max 2 players, ever outputed money from game. Maybe only Muratt (who plays on all realms).

That's a little disappointing alright. But I never expected to make most of my living out of this game. That's just stupid. Come on! Well If I want to make some real money, I'll write fantasy novels about wizards or vampires. Even 400 bucks is fine for students like me.
 
5 realms? Lien, Mary, that 10-day free realm, but what are the other two realms?
 
How do you make money out of this game, really? Converting virts to dollars? Is it right that virts won from contests aren't included?

thought I'm the only few in my campus who survived this game...
 
1. Florentinus
 
2. Depok, Indonesia (southern border of Jakarta, ID)
 
3. Undergraduate Civil Engineering student
 
4. 20, Male
 
5. English, Indonesian, practical Javanese
 
6. Pragmatic Strategist
 
7. Testing the on line version, got bored by PC tycoon games
 
8. As experimental module, to grasp practical business basics and techniques
 
9. Due to nature of this game, it's bloody difficult for my friends to understand. Perhaps a bit more thorough tutorial could help, and interface could use fancier ones. But leave the geek details alone, they're good as it is. Some mechanics like efficiency, rating, aren't widely understood and the 'bar advices' only offers efficiency-based improvements, not tips and tricks to get profit.
 
The Wiki should be labelled as FAQ, since game mechanics aren't explained in detail there.

6. I am trying my best to achieve success and prosperity for my future life and perhaps someday open a business in the field of Biotech.
7. Well, I first discovered Virtonomics from an advert in Facebook. Its name "Virtonomics" (it's like a scientific name for me Very we! ) has its first impression on me which makes me click on it. And here I am, trying to play it. (Really needs some advice and help here, seriously. I just started signing up today and am a extreme beginner to Virtonomics)
8. My aim in this game is to find an alliance so that I can move through this game with the help from the members of the alliance. Being rich is not my main purpose here but what I want to attain from Virtonomics is the experience in having a business firm and hence learn from it so that some day I may open up some kind of company.
Here's an advanced Thank You from me to the founders of Virtonomics. Oh ya and congrats too, because so far, I have not reach a business simulation game much like Virtonomics.
9. And last but not the least, I really need some kind of an alliance to enter to Well (Do not know who to PM to enter an alliance)
 
wish to communicate with everyone soon ! best wishes from me

5 realms? Lien, Mary, that 10-day free realm, but what are the other two realms?
Vera, Olga, Mary, Anna, Lien - by order of it's age.
Vera - the oldest, and the one with highest competition level, because there are so many players.
Lien - the easiest, with minimum competitions, very small number of players.

7. I was looking for a "smart game" in order lo learn in a fun way.
8. For the moment I'm an early bird... I just restarted my business yesterday because of too much investment in the first one. My first goal is to have a profitable business, not necessarily earning a lot but with a good structure. I didn't define my strategy yet and I need to learn more. Knowing myself, I'm a risk-taker so I hope to increase my turnover enough to be able to play Well.
9. I'm looking forward to meeting the businessmen behind the corporations! Interactivity is a key to success and I hope I can see that reflected in the game.

4. Your age = 34 male
5. Languages u could speak = English, Persian, Punjabi, some Arabic.
6. About yourself = I need 72 more hours in each day.
7. Why do u like this game = Best business simulation around, although still has major problems and a long way to go.
8. Your aim in this game = Get into the top ten.
9. This game needs more freedom, more realism, and less restrictions on freedom of growth. The restrictions in qualification make this game completely unrealistic. Put the freedom back into it devs, for gods sake already! ;) 

 
Looking for low priced goods, steady trading partners, and open to any business opportunity!!
- Currently blacklisting any suppliers who cancel without mail or price increases instead. This game needs a time/price contract feature with fines of 10% for whoever cancels early.
 
Bankrupted 3 times by game bugs.
1. Office Efficiency Bug - top mgr low eff makes all company employees stop working completely. UNREALISTIC!!!
2. Warehouse Bug - rent skyrockets to 1.5 Million instead of $10,000 when office efficiency is low. AGAIN UNREALISTIC!!!!
3. Warehouse bug again.
 
P.S. Suppliers, try to email your customers if you are making a change that will cancel orders. Don't just jack up the prices without letting people know, this ruins supplies for their stores. - If you buy from me I wont cancel you intentionally without a mail if I can help it.

5. Russian, Hebrew, English, a bit French
6. Believe everything is possible
7. For being very complicated managment online game - the more complicated, the better.
8. Learn to adjust the different factors popping up in the game and maybe to learn thing or two about real business life.
9. I think there are too much billionares in this game - maybe the game should have some crysis system affecting some regions and bringing more dinamic to the game(for example lower the consumption of the goods in stores - customers are suffer - stores suffer - everybody suffer - more realistical game.
 
It's weird there are so many engineers in this game. 
Be the change you want to see in the world
