Dear MA, you are loosing TONS of money because:

Me licking ass? This is what you read out from my answer? I been very vocal about crashing and burning MA and players involved in doing shady shit, but that's completely different case.

If you walk into casino and drop 10k and lose, will you go cry on streets how it's business men and politicians fault, because they do their shady shit?

If you could afford to lose that, you wouldn't cry on every fucking forum thread. Get over it, L2P.

EDIT: If you want to swirly, go buy EP4 blueprint and click away. I have no idea why you even started hunting if you want to swirly, that's like the slowest choice? You will even lose less, because you get pretty steady returns on EP, even a monkey can do it! So can you!

Take u're pills bro, never said about you liking ass and never said you not right about what u said about me. Event confirmed is true what you said. What I say is this : IF I go in a casino (and I do that very often) and DON'T GET A FUKING SPECIAL IN 10k$ YES I MAKE NOISE ! If I get I shut-up. I only complained when lost thousands and no swirles that's all. In rest I was fuking quiet. Read what I say and try understand. Maybe I don't exprime accurate in English is not native, but you can ask if don't understand. You have a problem with me or wtf? Why u took personal. I know you give me good advices in Pvt and I try follow them.... you can look on my tracker to see what I do now... and it seems the beginning is quite good..... I appreciated that and thank'ed you. Was other player I thank very much that helped me to set-up some gear to be more eco and worked too. I complained before all this info were made not after , and what was after was my shitty minning and crafting attempts either....
peace.... and keep trolling linzey, more fun .... at least after how much "he exploited" he deserve to be mocked :p


erm... saw the fukin U that made the confusion, I am @ work wanted to refer to the likers that shit lol

As i see, the big issue that needs priority is the damn rings... the ones that give to some players the ability to know for sure they will profit all day long even if they TT all their loot... MA doesn't lose money, but someone most pay the profit of them, and i think the rings are creating a huge gap between the "rich" and "poor" players, making the loses too big to motivate you to keep playing... I think it was good addition to increase a bit the eo on players, but this... this was way too much.

Everyone would love to have 100%+ TT return. Make money simply by shoot a mob, drop a bomb or craft an item, however it shouldn't be possible because money doesn't simply happier from nowhere. MA takes their share (nothing wrong about it, they are managing and running the game after all). So theoretically the input is less than output. If this is no longer true the "balance" between players are more and more unbalanced everyday and this is what i think is ruining the game.

Solution? NO MORE RINGS! and heavy decay on the existent ones.

i agree with the rings, but just normal decay would be enough, set at a similar rate to pets. would still give an advantage but it would be at chosen times, not 100% of playtime

Right. Go tell that to smilgs, seems he's missed the memo... :laugh:
 
Rings are good. 100% return is normal. Is an investment. If you get lvl 190+ and the best gear is normal to profit..... now is like... um... I have a mini-market in home to sell 1 empty bag per day... I invested 1 cent.... LOOK @ GOOGLE they make billions ! stop that... NOW let's not be STUPID !
Who worked for what they have and invested time and money... is normal to make money.
Who just get for free and benefit from intel.... well fuck those if they really exist.
Rings MUST STAY ! Everything must stay. SWEATGATHERERS AND NON-DEPOSITORS MUST LEAVE !
too much pay for servers.... no need for support online.... put those money back in loot !
 
Disclaimer: Anything said about Linzey was pure trolling. I have no clue if he benefit or not about anything.
-> For those that took ad literam what I said (even I put the trolling in)

Normal... TO WHO?!? so many time using 4.0+ dpp that makes a 100% normal run? is MA paying your dedication and work? They build and run a game to give money away? As you said, they make billions, so who's actually paying your sweet normal 100% return...

Yeah... They are definitely the problem :laugh:

what rings are these? I want one and will gladly buy it today!!
 
regardin the radar, i'd like to see the selected mob become highlighted on the radar, its a pain when you hit select next target and its not in field of view

Hotkey the loot button, when you hit it it turns you toward your selected mob and starts moving toward them.

Funny thing is, there is one. Use Next Target and then when mob is selected, select the opposite one.

YES ! Is normal then when you invest you make . Ofc.. you make from those with less investment :p
Now I put money in and skill, those that are skilled win my money (and some % to MA) SIMPLE and FAIR.
If you just have skills and no gear you still loose. If you have skills and gear and hunt wrong mobs you still loose. There are many variables so is not pyramidal or else anyone could invest 100k$ make lvl 200 buy best gear and withdraw 200k$ in 1 year..... SO.... to have success you need 30% skill 30% gear and 40% mob and time combined with grinding and experience.
Meh... wtf I even bother ?
 
on a side note:

1) Ma takes peds from depositors, ubers,
2) gives peds to non-depositors, noobs,
3) noobs, non-depositors deposits $2 and withdraws $1000s
4) ma takes more from depositors,
5) depositors stop and leaves,
6) every one wonders why the system failed...

What are you talking about? I've never gotten a real uber in my whole time here.
And I'm a nobody.
 
What you expected ?

They gain on explosive crafting gamblers and even droped plans to develop space.

They need to give us trust in them again, it's obvious they don't want to much people in and don't do efforts to improve the game.

They tried hard to ruin all MU & services within the game last years.

There's a lot of factors that make more and more people quit the game atm. (w/o to even speak about recent dramas..)

I do expect from them a lot of positive things for the economy & the future of the game in June's update..

I'm soon out of patience and hopeless, and we're many with that feeling.

Hope you do the necessary MA. :wise:

You don't even have to come up with idea, the community do it for you, just show u do care and listen to few of our ideas. Stop to play the "blind" studio.
 
Since 1999 MindArk has invested over 60 million USD to develop Entropia Universe.

Just saying, the couple millions ain't just a couple if they were ever to sell EU :)


Entropia Universe will never be sell.
The patent of a Real cash economy game with perfect withdraw and deposit system, with great graphics, a great game really stag the game up to 400/500 Mil.

Entropia worth more much more than 60 Mil.

I love this game as all of us we just need to adapt and try to explain ourselves to MA so they can change things accordingly. They are making mistakes latelly and been costing them I am sure. They know what to do to make us playing more 10 years :D

Good luck all
 
I'm not defending MA, because I agree with most of the points made; but please stop blaming developers for bad decisions. I've been a software engineer for over 20 years now and I can assure you that we don't make the decisions. You need to blame Product Management. They tell us what to write, and we write it (often shaking our heads at what a bad idea it is). Even the various bugs that you think should be a high priority for next release - we don't get to pick what to fix, that's decided by PM. In short, if you don't like the product - any software product - it's PM that you should communicate with; their entire job is to keep in touch with the customer base and determine what should go into a given release to make the customers happy. At the company I work for, our PMs regularly hold focus groups, send surveys, even go on-site to understand what customers want for the product.


As for salaries, the 60+ mil they've invested over the years was not all personnel cost. They spend a large amount on licensing and engine costs, equipment, development tools, etc. The good news is you don't even have to speculate because it's public knowledge, just look at their financial reports. Last year, for example, their personnel costs were about 28mil SEK - roughly 3.2mil USD. They have 40 employees. That's an average of 80k USD per employee. That is not their salary. Personnel costs include taxes, insurance, PTO, 401k, health care, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I'm not familiar with how Swedish business work, but in the US most companies pay on average almost twice the employee's salary per employee, so in a US company 80k cost per employee would mean an average salary of somewhere in the 30-40k range. Obviously C-level will be making much more than that, so my guess is the average MA employee does not make very much, probably much lower than industry rates, which is certainly evidenced by the quality of their product.
