Seeing people like Da, SIBUK, and others active again made me realize something.
In Project Entropia, the atmosphere was more of an open sandbox, meaning here is a box of sand... go figure out how to have fun with it... And that's exactly what people did. When I was new, SIBUK and others were doing
fun stuff but they were making their own fun. Who remembers Boris? Who remembers the line of people across a quarter of Eudoria piggybacking Araneatrox all the way to Hadesheim? How about the oil barrel castle, Dirpi mob trains on Camp Phoenix, WoF, Pink Saturday, fashion contests, or any of the endless player created fun things?
Back then, people in EU weren't such pansy ass cry babies either. Mob trains were epic and they were fun.
These days, if you mob train Twin Peaks, threads get made in the forum, people send in support cases whining, and MA potentially will send warning emails citing the ToS and EULA regarding harassment and destroying the game play experience of other players.
I just bought a tank today, that I'll eventually sell, but we were having a lot of fun with it in Twin Peaks.... It also found it's way to both Oil Rigs for some mayhem.
I was amazed with a couple people who were clearly very upset that I had bought a tank and were pissed because I had the audacity to have fun with it, especially in twin peaks. Go suck a dick... Wtf... It's a damn video game and it's a tank with a big gun, what do you think is going to happen? Everyone and anyone who requested access to the guest list was given access, that gun was shooting non stop, I even found a way to get the tank air born... And of course I'm going to position it just right so once I lure a bunch of people into the Twin PvP Ring, I can go run out to my tank, fire inside and blow everyone up, over and over.
Tank owners in a video game aren't compensating for anything, we aren't polluting the environment, and no one's game play is being ruined by any reasonable measure. Don't get pissed off because others are having fun. How about you either join in or go about your own business without making dumb comments in the chat?
These days, everyone is so hyper sensitive and they think everyone has to only hunt, mine, or craft, follow the structure of the missions, they think that PVP is morally wrong, and that the oil rig should have a fucking line where everyone takes turns without shooting. Please kiss both sides of my ass.
Make your own fun. It can still be done... Everyone else can go ride an Itumatrox.
Thanks
