Has anyone ever looked at that recent loot on the recent finds list? Brutal Orgasmatron Axe(L) 154 ped. I myself am over 18 and so are most other people in the universe, and I know you need to be 18 to play this universe, but still. EU has a certain atmosphere to it and it was one shifting towards quality. Those of us who don't care about quality go to Rocktropia at the moment it is honestly not polished. Not to mention that, it is very expensive too.
I don't think that putting this on the hall of fame board for our planet is good taste at all as it just transforms the entire experience into a poorly thought out tacky and immature undeveloped one. Come on MA, and FPC. That just sounds stupid, why put it up as a major pr stat for those of us who purposefully try to avoid that bullshit?
 
I agree. With new planet partners comming they will all have a image theyd want to maintain. I guess MA can add option to enable or disable globals and hofs in your chat window from certain planets or all.

But yes, i can see that certain planet partners in the future might have a consern with "ofensive" names popping up in their prestine planets and ultimately their customers either staying or leaving the game because of it. At the same time i do beleive the inter spamming of glob and hof from other planets is a way by MA to illustrate to all the player base no matter where they are, that they can also get good loots elsewhere. A sort of promotional advertising for planet partners i guess. If that is the case then i guess there has to be a equaly value amount of hof's and globals for each Planet Partner or there might be some sour grapes in years to come. This balance in turn means they have budget allocations, unless these planets do become independantly funded in terms of loot. If thats the case then you will see Planet partners with lower values complaining that the higher values on other planets displayed in their chat windows are drawing their customers away and thus making them ever less likely to succeed as the money is Obviously on the othe planets...So yea..I think this Inter Spamming of globs and hofs is going to be a problem long term.

What u are not seeing is that it should be looked at that EU is the platform and currently it has two games - Planet Calypso and RockTropia. Soon there will also be Next Island, the third game on the platform. Following that (as we are led to believe) there will be more games. From SEE who knows what kind of stuff is going to be coming - movie tie in planets, advertising planets, Mayor McCheese Planet, Little Pony Planet?

The nice and tight storyline of Planet Calypso is sort of getting dirtied by the Rocktropia story and all will feel the affects from the other planets stories.

I don't know if you remember or were involved, but not too long ago there were McDonald's advertisements on the Global AdScreens. Not too Sci-Fi.

Can they isolate each planet/game to uphold it's ingtegrity? Do they want to? What's more important, story integrity or player attraction? In the end money will win, it always does.

well the axe names didn't made any sence to me either "Brutal killed by death axe" for example. Until I bought a Road Crew Axe and read on the describtion that the axes are named after Lemmy's songs :)
 
Maybe but,
When MA begins to alter existing mobs because of prudish whining, I say enough is enough.
It's not the 19th century folks.
 
I have no problem with the names in Rocktopia. If you dont like them dont use them or even better dont play. EU already changed the looks of the game because of whining people like you. No more blood, and the privets removed from some of the creatures. I say leave it alone and keep it the way it is.
 
About the topic of the OP: I don't really care about that tbh :laugh:

You could turn those off ;)


I wish we only saw globals/HoFs for the planet we were on, and then they could have an isolated "Top 10 HoF of the day" with all planets in it maybe? :D or show only 10kPED plus cross-planet...

It is not the 19th century, but on the other hand, I dont want it sticking in my face, I didn't ask for rocktropia globals. In my eyes it diminishes the entropia feel to have video vixen drunk globals in the chatwindow.
Sure I could turn global messages off, but then I miss out on entropia globals.
Rocktropia is of poor taste, everybody wishing for it can go there.. but I dont want to be confronted with it on planet calypso, that's all.

Some good points, but this is a virtual world..some realism would be nice..
Stay away from the mobs with peckers and tits and you'll do just fine.
 
How is having a weapon called Brutal Orgasmatron Axe worse than having any weapons in game?
How come something sexual is so much worse than something violent?

Im guessing you just prefer pain over pleasure.

If anything you should react to the fact that you can get an axe ingame and kill someone with it. And FPC should rather ban everything related to violence and keep everything sexual uncensored in my opinion.
Then again this is just a game and mature rational people should be able to tell the difference between IRL and VR. Unless its something directly harmful it should be allowed.

In my opinion, if you are offended by sexual content but not by violent content you should step back and rethink your values.

Totally agree with this post :)

+Rep!
 
I don't particularly like reading the Rocktropia Globals on Calypso, well it's annoying and seems a bit "try hard". It's supposed to make people interested in going to the other planet. Is it just me or are some of the names just plain stupid, like "Lemmy Dragon" sure Lemmy is a cool dude but can't they think of something proper at least? Does the Lemmy Dragon resemble Lemmy? :scratch2:

Collecting beer cans, don't know about that either...

I haven't been there but I'm not getting a very good impression.
 
im ok with any names but imho globals should be only visible on the globe it drops (hence global and not universal) and hofs all over universe.
this keeps the chat screen a bit cleaner too.
 
Freedom of expression or freedom from expression?

We all have our likes and dislikes, but make sure to choose your side carefully.
 
Clearly most of the names on rockTROPIA are taken from the Motorhead genre of music. No surprises there...

And the names are no worse than many avatar or team names I see ingame, which are also seen on global chat.

I like what you said here. These people are sooooooo offended by the seual names but yet they will go out and get knives, guns, swords, gernades, and missles to kill people and animals. When asked about that these people will turn right at you and say its only a game. What hipacites you all are.

I was like I see bars why cant you order drinks (big potentioal for MA to make money with these and new profession Bartender and BP)and was told that alcohal and gambiling was not allowed in the game. Now they seem to loosen that a bit with Rocktopia. I am glad. They need to allow gambiling and bars with alcohal and stuff like that.
 
Considering my best friends are longtime friends from the Goth and Metal scene, I don't like goths/metal/vampire chicks portrayed as drunk sluts. I know it's just a game but it becomes a bit personal for me in this respect. Maybe it's not that bad, but it's the impression I'm getting. :confused:
As long as it's done in a tasteful way and with integrity, I don't mind if there is some 18+ elements, but do it well. Thats my opinion ;)
 
I thought it was all pretty tame. :scratch2:

I figured any game with Lemmy's name on it would have been much worse. :laugh:

Some people obviously are un-aware of some of the games on the market nowadays. This stuff is kids stuff by comparison. ;)
 
It's one universe, but it's two different games.

I've got nothing against orgasms, nor orgasmatrons. I do however feel that the "flavor" of the Neverdie Ego Trip... err... Rocktropia... is completely incongruous with the pre-existing Universe and the planet I prefer to play on.

Seeing these item names and such as a colonist on Calypso is like having some dork show up at a rennaisance faire or SCA event in a Star Trek uniform. It's amusing to the dork, but takes away from the immersive environment that the other attendees seek.

If MA wants a cross-universe leader board, then they should make it seperate from the in-planet leader board. I don't care what happens elsewhere, I want to know what's happening on and above Calypso.

as far as all of that goes...

As far as all of that goes... Why the heck are video vamps bad guys in Rocktropia? Since morals and junk are out the windows over there, why not make it like GTA where you can get "healed" by the prostitutes, and go make the guys in the police force in to bad guys, lol.

If Rocktropia can't go that far, maybe a future planet should. Actually, why doesn't MA get on the phone with Rockstar to make an entire GTA planet?!? I think there was talk of Rockstar doing something like that a while back, but they never got around to it. Perhaps the EU platform would be perfect for that - especially now that vehicles are coming! That would probably get the masses in game more since GTA is already such a popular title in the public's eye. (sorry to talk about other video games here, but it's relevant to the subject of this thread)

;)
 
i play calypso/rocktropia because its an adult (or atleast as close to one as i cna get) video game...

if it isnt (enter any god fearing religion here) enough for you .. go play the ten billion holesome games out there for far less money

Long Live Rock!
 
Tbh, I think the problem is not sexual content or anything like that... There are many different play styles and, even if most of us (if not all) are in here for the RCE aspect of the game, many (like myself) also like to feel a bit of immersion into the theam. One of the reasons I came back to EU, was to get away of dragons and zombies and all that crap I got tired of in other MMOs... I chose Calypso because of it scifi ambience, the robt war, the distant planet colonization, the unusual NATURAL fauna, on top of the RCE thing... And those RT names many times ruin it... Everyone should be free to choose where they want to play, acording to their own tastes... In the extream, and if you want to use the "sexual" theam as an example, I may like to watch porn tv channel (yea and Internet IS for porn ;) ), but if I change to a children TV channel (call it childish, but I do love good toons :) ), I dont want to see anything related to it... Even if the "platform" is the same...
 
fixed. whether we like it or not there is no game called Entropia here anymore.

Simply vote with your peds. On occasion I will go to rocktropia, but that will be the exception not the rule. I think you'll see much more of me on Calypso barring any substantial changes in the future. I just wasn't overly impressed with RT yet.....
 
I don`t get offended. I`m totally open and know that each planet will have it`s own vibe and it`s own way of doing things and that diversity to me will be what makes EU even better as a whole and attract new players that come for one thing or another. But overall they will contribute to the universe in a positive way. I`m an adult so I can handle just about anything thrown at me in a non opinionated way. And personally I like a little edge to things. After all as has been said we log in every day to "kill" stuff. What could be worse?

Are you sure ?

I think it's called Entropia Universe, try the link below.
It's also the name of the client loader. ;)

http://www.entropiauniverse.com/

On topic, I do not care about those names, however isn't age 13 allowed ?

To qualify as an Entropia Universe Participant, You must be at least 18 years old. If You are not 18 years old but You are at least 13 years old, You may still apply for an Entropia Universe Account, but only with approval of Your parent or guardian.

I do believe the mix we see in global chat and on auctions,
might cause problems in the future. When all the coming new planets
get mixed with items, lol auctions will become much bigger.

Global chat might speed up a lot more. :laugh:
