To make planetarion seriously profitable you have to go mass market. This would mean significant changes.

The real challenge would be to keep current gamers whilst appealing to new players.

The brand is valuable, but not extremely so.

The job therefore would be very difficult. In order to completely overhaul the game you are looking at a minimum spend of £100k. I am a relatively new player and I dont have the love of the game like experienced players and some areas such as IRC need significant improvements.

Once that is sorted you would need at least £200k to adequately market the product.

However the game can continue in its current form as a game indefinitely.

I would therefore value the game realistically in commercial terms between £10,000 ($20000) and £20,000 ($40000) which is essentially just for the Brand.

however you would need at least £300k ($600k) to turn make any significant money on that investment.

If I was a millionaire with only 1 million I would stay clear. However for a private equity fund it could be a good investment.
