How often do you eat at McDonalds? (Not related to anything in PE really, but meant as an example). If you go there say, twice a week? If you'd cook at home you'd save the same 20 bucks you're complaining about now.


OMG, anyone eats at McD. that often ??? :eek:
Think we have gotten food from McD about 5-10 times over the last year...

Know it had nothing to do with the thread... But DAMN, 2 times a week... hehe
 
I think the magazine is a good idea, but I think the price is a bit steep for the first issue. There should be an introductory price of maybe 50% off, that way more people will buy it. The publishers could also have produced a "mini" version as an introduction.

If people like it, I'm sure they would not mind paying the full price for the next issue. I would never pay $20 for a magazine I have nevre seen before, at least at the newsstand I see it before deciding to buy.

I think I will wait until I see one "live"... :)

This is the best idea! I was also thinking that if the firstissue was dicounted I might buy it. But for $20 how much information will be in it? And most people will post the information but they might bput something in the EULA against it?

It's true that most information will be available on the forums after the magazine has been released. But don't expect any PDF files to fly around on the forums, because that won't be allowed... it'll problably take a few weeks before even half of the information can be found on the forums, depending on how good the content is.

I'm buying this magazine because I'd like to have a real life item and also because I've written an article in it. But, I prefer reading a magazine instead of other peoples comments and posts on some forum. And it's usually worth paying a bit to get the information before everyone else... I gota admit that the contest sounds kinda fun to though. ;)

You will need to make sure that your PE Account Address is correct as that will be the one that we will use to send you the magazine. The magazine is being printed in the UK and will be posted worldwide.

I had a problem with this because originally I did not register my RL name, so I filed a support case to change my RL name. Guess what they told me ?

Hi,
Can you please change my Real Life name to correct name ?
When I first registered I was not sure if I can create different avatar name, etc. Now that I am hooked to be an Entropian, and want to order magazine this is a problem.
I have already corrected my address information, etc.
Please change my
Given name to: Xxxxx
Family name to: Xxxxxx

Thanks,
Xxxxx.

Hi! Due to security reasons, we never change any names of account holders. As you will never be able to verify your identity as the true holder of this account, you also cannot count on support if you should get into trouble requiring such verification. The only thing we can advice you, is to apply for a new account with the correct information and transfer your items/skills and PEDs to that account.
/Regards

Well, this is going to cost me PED in GSI and stuff so I found a simple solution that should work almost anywhere.
Change your address to RL address and add:
c/o RL name. 555 Somewhere Road.

That's what I did and I bought the Entropian in auction. :)

I would also rather read a printed magazine that I can hold in my grubby little hands, as opposed to the forum (which is fun, but worse for my aging eyes...). I also have no problem paying $20 for a magazine that is really good, I have done it before (art and architecture magazines). I would just like to see it first, like any other magazine I buy. Maybe I'll buy an issue after the first one has arrived to those that bought it, and whose reviews are posted in this forum. :)
 
Hmm I cant for the life of me figure out why Baldurn has neg repped me for my post on here... :rolleyes:

Seeing as you have neglected to say anything in the comment box.. perhaps you would care to enlighten me here or via pm?

It will probably dissapper when it ships like the gold cards do.

Thats not what it says in game... you even pay 10ped for a ingame mag..
 
Well I bought the mag and am looking forward to it

Ive not eaten Mc D's since watching 'super size me' a documentry about eating nothing but Mc D's for 30 days. It was gross :eek:

And if you put your wrong name in when you first started, the answer is simple change it by deed pole to your Registered PE name this way you dont need to buy GSI's :silly2:

I couldnt be bothered to put the quotes in as they take up too much space and the new VU update has just finishe......

Regards Im off to take a look :laugh:

i think its too much money for a magazine i never pay 20$ or in germany ca.16€ for an magazine sry MA but thats really to much :cool:
Same thing here in portugal... Any magazines cost between 2 and 3 €... 16€ is way too expensive.

True, it is an expensive magazine. Hopefully I will contain lots of valuable information.

I recently asked MA support when I will receive my subscription.


Hi,
The first issue will be shipped out on the 21th of December.
/Regards

:wise: note 21th should be 21st :D
 
I think the primary difference in price is due to the fact that other magazine primarily get paid for with advertisements, whereas (I think) "The Entropian" has no ads.
 
I think its overpriced for a magazine but i orderd the first issue to see if the content fits the price. I doubt there will mutch valueable informations inside, a smart forum guides and charts reader not allready know. I dont expect mutch , maybe a Poster in the Middle of the Magazine. My Reason to buy it was the thrill to hold anything Pe related in my hands. And yes i dont see a difference when MindArk put you 800 peds in a hof or a 4 issues subscription you can TT for 800 peds but the Whoooohhhaaaa Effect would mutch greater when you loot the entropian :)

more of a joke really :D

over in the Uk you can change your name legally by deed pole, my brother did so and when he came out he said to me he could have had Fruity (long story) as a middle name if he wanted to.

try a google search should bring up a few results
note 21th should be 21st
:rofl: nice one MA

Disappointed on The Entropian and MindArk

I dont know. But what does "Late 2005" mean?

I bought a mag for xmas a month ago or more. Why do you insist of saying its shipped?

When I bought my mag from EvE-online. It took some week.

I dont like this. What is the problem?

Bad manners really.

But merry xmas
 
The Entropian has not shipped yet. The ingame message should say "Processed" rather then "Shipped". An MA'ism like 21th. What happens is that when MA processes your subscriptions it sends the details to the publisher ready for them to send the magazine when its finally been printed.

As for when the magazine will be published. Its going to be delayed, we were working to a very strict deadline, unfortunately a lot of the stuff that we were expecting from MA took longer to get and that slipped the deadlines. With Christmas and the New Year in the way, we are probably looking at 2006, especially now that people have gone on holiday.

I'll try and keep people posted once I have a clearer picture from this end. But I'm afraid news will dry up a bit with the holiday season in the way.
 
Cant wait

Well, guess i'll have to pass the time with some pe :O
 
I have to say I'm rather disappointed with this. We were told it would be here in 2005, and that's what we paid for.

Pushing the shipping back to January is rather poor, I mean it's not like the christmas/new year holidays took you by surprise is it? When calculating a release date these things should be taken into consideration.

Frankly for me, it puts the whole thing in perspective - I paid a premium sum for a publication, professionally printed and produced, yet now we are told it'll be delayed.

It's just such a shame. :(

Sorry, mate. It flew over my head like a jet plane, must be a UK thing.
I should have googled it first. :duh:
Happy New Year to you ! :beerchug:

Edit:
PS: Please post when any of you guys receive your magazine. Thanks.
 
I hate being lied to...can I return my first month subscription for a refund?

is MA evolving in that story ?
yes
is it MA habbit to promiss a date and all time delay it ?
yes
is it MA habbit to blabla like profetional and work like amateur ?
yes.

so , why are you suprised ?
i dont understand you , evrything looks normal for me here.
 
MA has the tendency to rush into things to find out they can't deliver what they promised imho. Too bad, but the mag will come I guess :D
 
Etopta, it's not just MA involved, it's a professional publishing company and some eager players, that's what made me think this may be different and what made me believe that an ambigious release date of "before the end of the year" would be adhered to.

You are right though, I should have known better.

If I were dealing with a proper company, I'd expect a full refund PLUS the goods. Yes, a free issue. Do I expect to get that in this case? Hell no.

I dont know to laugh or cry, this is just yet another example of incompetence to add to the rest.
 
Full refund maybe, But the product also I think not. I was also bummed to find MA let us down. I can deal with it being late BUT If I get the mag and it has ANY holiday crap in it at all im going to raise hell. Being late and having old content will tick me right off.

What is MA doing these days there so busy? The spacestation seems rushed and unfinished even in the rushed version we got.
 
are you gonna mail this fuckin rag or not?
 
somehow this dosnt supprice me at all but im still very much looking forward to the magazine
