    Time - AM and PM

    This is naïve. In truth there's a political and emotional process at play. I'm sure Europeans used similar arguments when elbowing into America in previous centuries. "It's for the greater good"... or even "it's for your own good"... Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. What goes around...

    Time - AM and PM

    Agree. AM/PM is for old ladies to agree a time to have tea Seriously though with everyone in different time zones it's much more practical to use 24 hours. This is another US-centric anomaly like having dates the wrong way round.

    Entropia Universe 15.17.2 Release Notes

    **Groan** I can see the hook. Not biting. :nana:

    Entropia Universe 15.17.2 Release Notes

    Total bollox. I'm an old player, I've never liked PVP, I don't like it now. Never once got shot in Amethera and I've hunted there tons. Never done the rig more than a few minutes. Never done a land grab - I just DON'T LIKE IT... Anything not clear about that? Now I have several completely...

    VU 15.0 bugs

    These new automatic health bars that appear over mobs (not the traditional one you can drag to shoot at) They are on top of half my buttons at top centre of screen (which I don't want to move as I play in several screen resolutions on different PCs). Also they're often on top of the dragged...

    VU 15.0 bugs

    I have this issue precisely as you describe it too, and on all my PCs. It's particularly bad if I'm an area surrounded by mobs - swarmed before I get a chance to shoot back.

    Info: Can't stop playing

    Subscribing. Same problem here for a while. I seem to remember it also happened the same a few years back, then cured itself. Curiously when Feffox cave crashes (which is groaningly regular) the problem doesn't arise, only when logging out "properly". Tried the obvious things like repairing...

    Crashes in Feffox cave

    Apart from the fact that the game still crashes with sound off. And who wants to play with no sound anyway? I suspect those unspeakably irritating earthquakes which add nothing whatsoever to the gameplay. Another half-baked botch-job from MA :hammer:

    New Avatar Pics!

    I took on board the comments about ending up dark and fat but still managed to give myself a set of jowls and turkey neck that would embarrass a retired navvy. I was hoping for a rangey, pale boyish look - I'm already old and portly and weather-worn enough in real life without reflecting this...

    5 Minutes unexpected downtime today

    meh... I'd rather have my throat cut in my bed than have to make it myself :yup:

    Do we really need night time?

    **groan** I'm accused of saying almost the opposite of what I said, not even exactly the opposite. I said that at present a mob that's nearly dead hits just as hard as one which is unwounded. THAT is unrealistic. THAT (amongst other things) already requires the suspension of disbelief...

    Do we really need night time?

    It's just a cute effect that can be irritating. If night didn't happen I wouldn't miss it. The game is hardly realistic fundamentally... these facts spring to mind that can't be explained by some undefined alien technology or peculiar laws of physics: Twenty or thirty bullets in a mob to...

    Why did MA offer CLDs?

    It's really not that hard to see the reason. MA is not a mega-corp but a sizeable business all the same, and the books must be kept in order. This RCE malarkey is uniquely exposed to the world economy. In the old boom times people spent more and credit was easy, peachy, the management could...
