    Feedback poll on the plan by Neverdie with TP's

    Agreed. This is extremely sad. A few thoughts on this reply: - The forum post may have been from ND, but the website which promotes this is owned by MA. - Free-loaders and leeches may have requested this, but I doubt depositors have. It is illogical to expect a depositor to send a support...

    The ECONOMICS of the tp fee + jobs proposal

    This wondrous plan includes a glaring omission. Allow me to help you. 6. Due to the FREE MARKETING and INCREASED TRUST, the influx of NEW PLAYERS leading to NEW PLAYERS RETENTION which results in CONVERSION TO PAYING CUSTOMERS has one additional benefit!! These players will continue to support...

    TP Fee: History Repeats on Forum?

    I am utterly flabbergasted! <moderated> WHY do think I would put money into a game, so that it could be "redistributed" to you? I pay, so you can play????!? Screw that. I am left speechless. ...

    Government forum on Entropia Forum

    All right. Let's analyze this. Putting hype and idealism aside, you consider kicking the ant nest an accomplishment? Are you now claiming success? Does that mean you acknowledge that the office of VR President is a farce, and that you arrived there by appointment? Shenanigans! I call...

    Question: Is this true?!?

    I tend to believe that tiering up is a looting event. When tiering adds an extra 0.1 - 0.3 to the new level, I wondered if that was the equivalent of getting a multiplier. This is only theory, as I lack comprehensive logs of tiering. However, it seems to fit with many flavors of loot theories...

    Well, here's a new one - Cannot login to website

    huh?? I am having trouble with my (re)installation after the most recent update. When contacting the update server, I get the message "An internal error occurred: Please contact support" So, I do. However, when try to login in to the website and send a support case, I get the kindly message...

    Entropia Universe 15.4.0 Release Notes

    What was changed with this update? I had JUST gotten EU working for Linux. I had the installation process down. I had made sure it was repeatable. It worked beautifully. A few hours later, the servers went offline... Now, I can install the client loader. I can agree to the EULA (or TOU)...

    No more magical safe zones!

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around this Does that imply that pirates don't shoot random ships?? (Not in my experience. Anything that moves get fired upon :) ) Or maybe, that only ships that leave the SS are likely to carry loot?? (I don't see many sightseers there :D )...

    Lost my logo

    Is this irony? I dismiss the problem, and consider it closed. Within minutes, I look and see that the logo is again gone from both the exe and the shortcut ?!?! I just did an iTunes update and two Quicktime updates. Perhaps these might be related to the problem. I'm going to do some...

    Lost my logo

    Excellent question I can launch the client loader and play as normal. The only abnormality is that on the standard account, the client loader exe had no logo. Otherwise, all is fine. (Both the client loader within the installation directory and the shortcut to it on my taskbar worked fine.)...

    Lost my logo

    I have encountered a minor annoyance, and I hope someone more knowledgeable can advise me. Until recently, I used only the Windows Seven administrator account on my pc. I recently reinstalled. This time, I recalled the recommendation to use a standard account (not administrator) for most pc...

    Planet calypso patch notes 2015.2.1

    It seems to me that the barrier of 200 successfully graduated disciples would limit those who offer genuine help. Those 'skilled mentors' who are allowed are probably not very helpful, as they would have farmed disciples (or more precisely, farmed mentorship gifts) by sifting through numerous...

    Planet calypso patch notes 2015.2.1

    Indeed, Support has graciously moved all the items from Thule to my carried inventory, as requested in my support case. I even had a stack of 5 Halloween Candy, which was moved to me on a different planet, bypassing lootable space.:D Ha ha ha! Those pirates will never get my candy!:dodge...

    Planet calypso patch notes 2015.2.1

    This sucks for me. According to the list of "My Items" on the website, I have 91 items in storage there. Many of these are irreplaceable, and most have value to me. Now, I need to become a professional mentor for the next few years just to get them back??? The irony is that I cannot...
