Nostalgia thread: Once upon a time in Entropia......

Once upon a time a TP run was just that. Being part of one as either a newbie or protection was a fun social event. Minding your own business hunting or mining out in the wilderness and then seeing a line of green dots appear on your radar was an opportunity to join in or cause carnage depending on your mood and location. :laugh:


Ahh, The Game

​Omg! Alpha Geek is back!! Welcome back!
 
I remember when Atlas Haven was hub of activity.
 
Once upon a time....

You did not have all this stealth spawn mobs all the time on you, you was able to kill that mob you wanted to kill.

:bowdown:

so true !

I can remember a few green dots could cleanse an whole area and create super dense spawns of mobs because they used to spawn in the same place while every other place was occupied by hunters. I can also remember that was annoying but ninja spawns are annoying too.

I would pay mindark for a standalone version of the old planet calypso without real functions just to fly as a ghost over the old map. Some might say that would be boring but I am sure I could waste some time doing this
 
Once upon a time...

...I got so exited over a global that I used Paint to encircle the amount before I posted it on this forum.

...team leader got all the loot
...Argonauts use to wear pants
...feffoids dropped Korss H400 (L) with almost every global

I miss that handgun, was a really awesome gun! super low cost and great eco, had okish MU on it as well

I have only been here around 4 years now in game at least, but i do miss some of the bigger loots that one got if you were lucky enough, not bitching about the game being cheaper to play. just miss this gun! Maybe MA can bring it back with a revamped look and TT?

regards,

Very nice global :) and I also remember the H400 from the feffs, I remember one night I got 2 in 1 50 ped run and then 3 more in 3 more 50 ped runs all in about an hour of play. Those were the days:).
 
This is not true. The Hub on Cyrene is all about addressing that issue. Everyone has same skills, same equipment and so it's all about real life skills. Your reaction speed, timing, aiming etc make all the difference between winning fights.

Then it's usually about ping. If you fight someone relatively equal in skill but has a better ping then you'll lose most times in my experience.

Personally I miss the old minopolis and the "feel" of PE, without all the other planets and silly items like mustang's destroying the concept.
 
Here is one I snapped north of Fort Troy when it was a more arid area. I don't remember how many replies I got on how I got on top of that stone :).


PS this was way before vehicles.
 
Nostalgia is deadly :D it's good to forget :pppp:yay:
 
ok well... be careful tho, it is danger XDD
 
Once upon a time you would be out hunting those small red crabs, tantillions i think.. and you see a red dot way off in the distance and knew you were about to die... Big spiders one hit no matter what your armor and you were dead.. and they always smelled a person from way out!

I had to laugh when I read this one as it reminded me of my buddy and I when we had just started. He found the spiders around Minopolos and was convinced that he and I could kill one, LOL. He said he felt he could have almost done it alone, LOL. Well we all know the end of that story:).
 
Back when I first started back in ummm like 06 my soc would go to do a beacon. Now my memory isnt right all the time, but remembering correctly that particular area was the only place to do it.. We always no matter what would head out to start one, one red dot pop up on a radar and before we knew it.. 6 of us all dead... lol we were some heavy armored people too.. UGH always gave me the creeps hearing them running towards us.
 
Once upon a time in Entropia there was a component book that had a tt value of one pec. Too bad all books in game aren't like that.

Once upon a time in Entropia you needed blueprint books to craft with.

Once upon a time in planetcalypsoforum at some point in the future, maybe, the admins might change the filters so that Entropia and planetcalypsoforum are not considered to be misspelled words, lol.
 
Once upon a time in Entropia's history there was a forum at entropiaforum.com - looks like now it's dead since the message you get if you go there at this time is
The requested resource cannot be found.

Once upon a time in Entropia's history there was a forum dedicated to Rocktropia. Currently, if you visit the page that that forum used to be on the messages that you get is
Page Not Found
and
This site is under construction.

Sometimes in Entropia's history there is a forum at entropiaplanets.com - weekly the darn server for that thing goes offline and if you go there right now (or weekly when that offline time happens) you get a message like
An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.

In ancient days there was a forum for entropia pioneers... and another one called entropia reality... seems that forums just keep disappearing over time, along with all of the history contained therein.

I can't comment on the others, but entropiaforum.com is certainly still online.
711 recently did some work on it, and (I think) has moved it to a different server or something.

I was looking for a player checking for something and he had replied to a post in 2006 or 2007 about another player that looted four, that's 4, Marber Bravo-Type Plasma Annihilators in one day. I closed the tread and now I can not find it again. I wanted to post a link so all could see :(.

Both you and mastermesh right, but it's bug in server settings.
As result:
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/ - online (with www).
http://entropiaforum.com/ - error (without www) redirects to http://entropiaforum.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi and print an error - "The requested resource cannot be found."
