Lead Producer of a new MMORPG Babylon Online is aiming to invoke passion long lost in gamers.

Carlos Sanchez, the lead producer and game lead for Babylon Online is betting on nostalgia to revive old style, retro MMORPG experience.

The game which is set in 7th Century AD world is going to be a sprawling metropolis for trade and quests.

We want to build a retro experience that is unlike any other, where players can discover old elements of beloved MMO's but find new and long forgotten interest.

The team behind the game is comprised of minds such as Terry McGinnis and Siraaj Ahmed of Online Shop Inc. A Manhattan based e-commerce and software development company. Carlos was the lead for front-end development, and a key player in developing the new game experience.

It's something old but new at the same time, our public release date is end of April if all goes according to plan. The game is free to play and will use elements from a dead MMORPG as it's basis. We have the best minds in the world helping build upon on it. I think it will be a testament to our server-side prowess.

Carlos is also famous for his innovative blockchain startup based in Spain, Krowd Innovation, this is his first game project, and one of the hardest to head up. MMORPG's are one of the most profitable, most played and hard to crack, however the young developer, entrepreneur and producer is expecting big things.

We're creating an inclusive world filled with quests, a party and a job system - it's a great way to learn about the real world too. Whether it be trade or making new friends. We're building a community, and that's at the heart of every successful MMO.

MMORPG's had lost favor with players, however they are looking for 'retro' games to relive their glory days with Babylon Online experiencing a rush of excitement according to Carlos after sharing it on various social media channels.

Tesla shares lose $85bn in market value over brutal week

Tesla shares lose $85bn in market value over brutal week

# data[].attributes.body
Tesla stock has registered its worst week since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, losing $85bn in market value in a reflection of investors’ doubts about the electric carmaker’s prospects as chief executive Elon Musk runs Twitter at the same time. Shares in Tesla closed at their lowest point in more than two years on Friday, taking its market capitalisation below $400bn. The stock has lost 18 per cent this week. Tesla was worth $1.2tn at the beginning of the year. The drop of more than $800bn in value is equal to the combined current market capitalisation of more than 80 of the smallest companies in the S&P 500 index, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. The carmaker’s market cap this week slipped below that of ExxonMobil, a company reliant on fuelling internal combustion cars. Downward pressure on Tesla’s stock has intensified in recent months because of Musk’s own heavy selling to fund his $44bn takeover of Twitter as well as mounting concerns about the outlook for sales of its cars. Tesla’s share price dropped 9 per cent on Thursday after the company said it would offer price discounts of $7,500 to US consumers on two of its best-selling models, an announcement that sparked worries over consumer demand. Later that day, Musk promised via Twitter he would not sell any more of his Tesla stake for at least a year. He also said he was open to the idea of buybacks. “I won’t sell stock until, I don’t know, probably two years from now. Definitely not next year under any circumstances and probably not the year thereafter,” he said. Musk, who recently lost the position of world’s richest man, has sold almost $23bn of stock since announcing his $44bn acquisition of Twitter. Despite a promise in April to stop doing so, he subsequently sold shares on three occasions, most recently last week. The disposals have angered big investors who feel the entrepreneur has abandoned the carmaker to focus on his new purchase. Musk has promised to step down as chief executive of the social media platform once he finds a replacement following a poll of Twitter users on Sunday on the issue. Wedbush Securities tech analyst Dan Ives, on Friday lowered his price target from $250 to $175 for the shares but maintained an “outperform” rating. Tesla’s stock closed 1.8 per cent lower at $123.15 on Friday. Ives tweeted: “We believe if Musk refocuses back on Tesla, truly stops selling stock (walk the walk, not just talk the talk), the Board initiates a buyback, and 2023 guidance is set conservative on its [fourth-quarter] call in January then this stock has bottomed in our opinion and works from here.” Of the 41 Tesla-following analysts tracked by Refinitiv, four have “sell” ratings on the stock. The drama surrounding Musk has helped make Tesla the most profitable US company for short sellers this year, delivering paper profits of just over $15bn in 2022, according to S3, a specialist New York-based consultancy. Short sellers aim to profit from share price falls. Since August, short sellers have increased their total short positions in Tesla by about a third to 81.8mn shares, or about 3 per cent of the carmaker’s outstanding stock, in a wager that is worth roughly $11.3bn, S3 calculated.

Founders, Terry McGinnis and Siraaj Ahmed of Online Shop Inc.

Terry McGinnis and Siraaj Ahmed - The Two Tech Geniuses Changing The E-Commerce Landscape

Terry McGinnis and Siraaj Ahmed - The Two Tech Geniuses Changing The E-Commerce Landscape

# data[].attributes.body
British-American founders of Manhattan based Online Shop Inc, Terry McGinnis and Siraaj Ahmed have been making waves in the tech space for the last year.

The two entrepreneurs are behind one of the largest marketplaces in the United Kingdom, which had put up stiff competition against other conglomerate marketplaces such as Amazon and eBuyer. Both founders had decided to pay back British investors, close their logistics and warehousing operation and pivot to a software only model.

There hasn't been a major competitor in the market targeting the general audience of users that do not fall into small, medium to large enterprise funnel. Canadian e-commerce solutions giant Shopify has been dominating the market, with heavy focus on large enterprise clients and developers - leaving a gap in the market for entrepreneur duo Terry and Siraaj to establish a foothold.

According to Content Marketing Institute many of Shopify's users are left unsatisfied and having a bad view of the niche in general due to extortionate pricing, predatory sales tactics and little to no support. This has been in part been confirmed by Shopify's own Investor Deck for Q4. Shopify's primary focus being developers who already possess a vast knowledge of programming languages, best practices and design practices unknown or unaccessible to average everyday users. With the other biggest segment being enterprise users, leaving little to no confidence in the Canadian giant from everyday users who are too small for Shopify to care about according to a research study conducted by nChannel.

This disdain and loss of confidence in Shopify is allowing Online Shop win support from everyday users, press outlets and even former competitors, such as Amazon. With the young company now becoming part of Amazon's latest cohort, perhaps as to provide a shining star to attract other such startups, or perhaps due to the fact that all attempts made by Amazon to qualm and make Shopify irrelevant having failed.

Both founders have built a massive marketplace in the United Kingdom and had managed to be resourceful enough to stay alive and even compete with giant Amazon, giving Amazon the necessary confidence to invest in the newly refreshed company, promising Apple levels of ease, affordability and of course a new, never before seen Artificial Intelligence engine that promises to make companies such as Shopify, obsolete.
