PS : Getting off-topic, sorry mccormick ; you are right about the initiatives though and I like your post.
No problem, I know how it is all getting linked together in the end. :S
I really appreciate people like you, joining me in here, offering their support through words.
All of this is part of the universe and we are a sort of memory of it. We can speak about this game and the past with Nostalgia, with passion !! And when you speak about something with passion, newcomers can be charmed.
For many years, PE was my second home. Back to work then connect for hours. A real virtual home for my mind and most of my sense !
This is very psychological issue after all and many newcomers should take EU with philosophy. This is a universe with a huge potential, even today, with a true and very old story and I'm charmed about it, even today.
Very well written Hulyss. Very well explained. A second home indeed.
Project Entropia is still omnipresent in my heart, in my soul. Psychological issue indeed.
One might call us "loony"...and I wouldnt even have a problem with it. Im amazed by myself, that Im still here, that I even could enjoy space or do some mining now and then. Arkadia helped a lot for sure, not Calypso.
But over time I became one of those, that will no longer shut up and Ill try to continue showing up the bitter aftertaste, as it also became a part of our "Project Entropia". (theres no way you can negate that)
I like to discuss especially these things. (always without official comments of course)
Maybe there is hope...far, faaaar away. This thought never left my head.
So, dear McCormick, why not bringing a project to Mindark, about our planet (I don't care about other planets, I'm a colonist of calypso), I think about a book who can be looted in-game about the roots of Calypso. You spoke about Oblivion ?? there is books in Oblivion.
I mentioned Oblivion for 2 reasons
1.) The game Oblivion was using the gamebryo engine and it looked fantastic.
2.) My thread, called "Content of Oblivion" (which shows all the stuff that has gone missing from the world of Entropia)

Back in 2008 Mr. Simmonds had plans for a weekly series about Entropia involving me. He even mentioned a new render trailer back then, which was just mentioned again recently. Will it ever hit the daylight ? Who knows.
Some emails got exchanged now and then, I throw in some ideas, asked for material, but in the end, the "project" somehow got left behind and eventually forgotten. Mr. Simmonds never phoned me again.
Though, Mr. Simmonds was always very sympathic and very friendly.
Then there was Frank Campbell, asking me about doing "tutorial videos" in 2009(?). He even wanted to pay me 1000 PED out of his own pocket as there was no covering from Mr. Timkrans at that time. It was all more or less in-official and I had lots of work to do by that time in reallife and was not really interested, as, I want to be honest, 1000 PED did not sound very fair, for hours and hours of working out a great introduction video for beginners. Frank also was very friendly, but I told him that Im not interested.
Since then time has passed and AkiranBlade did some really nice tutorial videos for the community by then.
(Dont know if he got payed or even contacted by MA though)
All further attempts in getting in contact with MA failed. It felt like I was suddelny put to ignore. Email, SMS, facebook...no answers anymore.
For the last time I was talking to Marco Behrmann, Jason Peterson, David Simmonds and Justin Sorrell at the Leipzig Games Convention. It ended with standard entropia small-talking and in the very end, Justin handed us out tons of boxes with Atrox/Hogglo/Longu figurines and some T-Shirts. Ya, that was great. ;p
Many months later I did not even get answers regarding small questions about my movie project, like, dates about the old odysseus probes or the date Calypso got finally inhabitated by the 1st humans. Just dates. (Too bad there are no dates in the old text files)
Are Frank and Justin still with MindArk btw. ?
I gave up getting in contact then.
Im in no way on a trip of revenge. I dont want to harm anyone. I just want to show up things in my very own way. And I always did that, by mainly doing sarcastic videos, filled with random nonsense here and there.
And as long as 1 community member is with me, I will continue my work.
Most of my threads include many positive comments. I cant be that wrong, can I ?
Thank you all for your support ! I really appreciate that.
