Hello.
To start off I want to state clearly that im not being sponsored or paid in anyway to write what i will write, however, I feel this should be shared.
Some years ago, we had a TP named after someone that "supposedly" was the first player to reach certain points in Sweat Gathering (which he wasnt by the way, he was just and still is more vocal on PCF than the average), however if you play other games, you can see some tributes to players / fans that had some relevance in the community or in the game, but didnt "pay to earn" so to speak, people such as people that passed away, got monuments and such, which i find admirable.
I feel this would be great to recognize the merit, longevity, dedication and specially love for the game, with some ingame tribute, a small statue, a TP named, a memorial thing to some players, we do have Memorial island, that is a dead teleporter and was amogsnt the most beautifull in existance for what it held. It doesnt have to be in that teleporter specificly, but other teleporters having name after players that had clearly a mark in this game, small recognition icons, it would be amazing to see that, instead of being only event winners that can name teleporters or Land Area owners, something that is special and cant be "bought".
Exposing this, I would like to make a sugestion that i believe to be fair, given this player's mark in the game.
All due respect to Megavolt, but he earnt a TP for achieving sweat gathering and wasnt even the first, just posted it first, and got a teleporter named for it, which i find the principal/idea great to award a player.
But I come to speak of a friend, that thru the years had few breaks,
He has skills like no others, he is one of the few higher skilled avatars that didnt sell or share his account to have it skilled by someone else, he didnt use bots, he paid heavilly some of his skills by skilling naturally and sometimes even uneficient, and why? Because he shown what few show for this game, he shown love for the game, this became a huge part of his life, like all of us.
When I joined the game in late 2007 his name was already known, even entropedia had marks that only him was known to have this skill.
He is a respectable older player that, even tho he is more closed down given certain circustances, he is every bit as kind to a new player as he is to a more skilled, he will respect everyone by who they are, not by the PED card or by their soc.
He shown dedication skilling to the point some may call him insane, not to brag of his ego, you dont see him say "i got this much pls give me stuff" no, he always kept stuff quiet cos for him, the game isnt about measuring who is the highest, is about fun, achieving goals, if anything he likes to keep quiet but his skills ranks, atributes do bring some attention up.
By now im quite sure most of you know im talking about Dan Dan Petrov, fact is, if you knew this also by now, you know clearly he has been around for a while, and you recognize him for what i said about him.
Dan also made it clearly he isnt a profitable player, and one may think
If most ubers try to break even or profit only because thats their goal, why would this guy stay ingame with all those skills?
Fact is, as i said above, its all about the love, dedication he shown over the years, he is still one of the very first players and was among the first to have even Gold cards, if the comunity at times wouldn't be as toxic, he has stories from old times to share that would make anyone navigate on a nostalgia trip of Entropia Universe, how things used to be, stories about some players, events, mobs, even rare loot drops, he is a book and a mark in my opinion.
I can gladly say this because, he is a close person to me, and im very happy to get to know him for who he is.
All this love and dedication also earn him the title of the most skilled player and highest HP aswell, which i knew he had it for long, but he never came to post until some people close to him told him he should do it, not to brag, but since a lot ask, he'd let it known, and its far better let people that would ask anyone know, but since he is closed up, he never shared much
He was the first to reach a whole 400 HP!! this was posted in 06-28-2015, he has been on a bit less but still whenever he can he still skills up, and probably I shouldnt share, but I should also let the comunity know that he is probably the first player to have reached the 1 Million mark, yes, 1.000.000 Skills, without having a second shooter or second person using the avatar, that as you know, most these days do when runing with the craziest setups.
He also is by far, as far as i know, the highest player skilled in mindforce and has a passion for the profession like none else, even tho isn't as viable as others currently are.
He has his humble ways and keeps griding thru all the missions, at this moment folks should also know he has 60+ stamina, Even avatars with second shoters havent got that much, and some of you may think, but no, he didnt abuse any bugs to get this, if anything he will stay away from those because he values his avatar as if it was real life, he wouldnt go into comiting a crime, which is honorable even if penalizes him.
With all I posted, his insane, by now, over 400hp, his 1M skills, and being the personality he is.
In my opinion, he'd deserve some recognition, wouldnt you guys think?
Also, If would have someone that pops in your mind, I believe would be nice sharing your story.
As for now, I'd love to see a memorial or some recognition for the person Dan Dan Petrov is and for the player he is, if you cant respect and honor a player that put over 10 years of his life into this game for liking it and being humble and honest about it, even tho he is the highest, I dont know who else to respect.
(sorry Dan you will read this as a surprize)
This post is clearly to respect and honor some players, as part of that, and in respect for others, please keep the thread clean if you may
