.EU landrush is finished

[vitalir]

.EU landrush is finally finished. Well there are very few leftovers by they are so insignificant comparing to thounds of names that were released during last year. So all the names applied for during Sunrise are gone now (and well Ovidio got loads of diamonds). But anyways what I wanted to say is - the limited resource of .EU names is gone now, so from this point in time the resource will start growing in price! (Fingers crossed )

 

[gazzip]

yeah, I think we are going to see alot more .eu sales this year


.

 

[tansks]

But seem like people take more attention on mobi names recently.

The .eu landrush has been over for a while, I believe.

landrush II i meant, that is all the names applied for during sunrise but not awarded have been released to public slowly, and now all of the gone! the resource exhausted!

What did you mean by this ?

(and well Ovidio got loads of diamonds).

I would say the LandRush wasn't organised properly.

landrush II i meant,

 

[wot]

Yes, I think LR30 was the last one:?

I got only one in the final few landrushes , same old names on the whois kept coming up on the many I missed out on. :td:

BestOne.eu was the only one I got.

What did you mean by this ?

well i meant they got loads of best generics like paintball.eu, experts.eu and many others, there are just the 2 in my head now beacuse i was interested in development of the 2 (and contacted them, got an answer their domains are not for sale)

 

[MadAboutDomains]

I got M8.EU in Landrush 27 or something

you asked them the wrong question then. every domain is for sale at the right price. they wouldn't turn down a million for it.

Actually they (the Ovidio syndicate) would I think. Their defense (used in a Belgian court action) is that they are a direct navigation operation rather than a domain warehouser. To sell a domain could be interpreted as proof of warehousing.

You should think the incorporation of the shell companies, companies freshly incorporated that don't cater to the public as a regular registrar nor intended to do so is proof enough?

Yeah, that's what they did precisely. Made a number of registrars. Well that's the same trick some others made, BUT there is a big difference - all the fake NY Ovidio registrars catered only one client - Ovidio itself. And that breaks the fundamental basis of the registrars-eurid agreement. And they let it happen. How? Why?

That's why Ovidio managed to get the top names also - its registrars did not have a customer queue of names to try at all, instead just a very few top names for themselves. That explains the milliseconds after 11:00 when they've managed to get the top names. Pretty cool. They've made everyone. By breaking the rules of the game.

I don't believe in the .eu domain anymore...

I am selling my .eu domains at the moment.

 

[vitalir]

Despite all the Ovidio-like issues I do strongly believe in .eu. EU is the second strongest economy in the world - do I need to say more?

I need to refresh what exactly happened here. Maybe a link would be helpful.

[scandiman]

Aren't there restrictions for non European registrants?

It is a great economy.
Look even at the Euro / USD rate

But, I think to many .eu domains are parked and bought just for sale.
IMHO

 

[HcDomains]

I don't have any .EU domains, and not going to invest on it. Good lucky to all of you who got sweet EUs during landrush

Yes but EURid is run by idiots who are not, never were and never will be fit to run anything other than a corner sweetshop and they are so utterly incompetent that that they'd probably burn that down with in a year.

Well if .eu is to have any credibility now, the only thing that could restore it would be the deletion of the EURid management and their pals in the European Commission who gave them the contract, a complete purge of the .eu ccTLD of the bogus registrars, a proper investigation department rather than the five they have at the moment.

Yes. It requires a place of business in the EU, an EU trademark or some connection to the EU such as living there. But the cretins in EURId have screwed up the situation to such an extent that massive breaches of the nexus requirements are rife.
