    what do these #s mean to you?

    Notice that "Capitalized expenditures" is slightly higher than the operating profit though. Unlike other forms of income this post is not hard cash. It is simply a way to get (part of?) the investments/expenses associated with the development of new Entropia Software as income in the accounts...

    Note to the MA network coders

    I seriously doubt MA has designed the UDP protocol for VU 10 without numbering of packets. That would be a serious design flaw and considering MA has used UDP for several years it is just too unlikely. A much more likely reason is that this is caused by a simple client side bug. Somewhere in...

    Does anyone know the telephone number for Mind Ark?

    And before wasting money calling this number be warned that there is a 99% probability that the receptionist will tell you the same as is written on the contact page:

    Multiple Mining Towers In Same Radius?! No way.

    HoF list only last for 24 hours, towers last longer. Or it's simply a bug. They seem to frequent these days :)

    The 15$ Issue

    This logic is totally wrong. One of the best things about EU is that it does NOT reward hours/month to determine progress. EU appeal to a lot of players because deposits can make up for lack of playing time. This is important if a company want to target players who have a full time job and a...

    Decay= MA Profit?

    This logic is wrong. MA has not stated that the TT values of materials goes into the crafting lootpool. The peds used while crafting might end up in the hunting lootpool. It is not correct to assume that activities with low/no decay is more profitable than others. In order to know that we...

    Entropia = not gambling? (lotteriinspektionen)

    The interesting point is not whether EU is gambling or not, but whether EU is an illegal or legal form of gambling. Answering the latter is more complex than answering the first. It is the lotteri-inspectors job to answer the latter question. They have done that and have come to the conclusion...

    Entropia = not gambling? (lotteriinspektionen)

    Having set probabilities is not as universal as you seem to think. If I go an play the horses here in Norway the odds is not determined until after betting is closed. When you place the bet you can only see an estimate of the odds (based on the bets placed so far). If someone place a big bet...

    Entropia = not gambling? (lotteriinspektionen)

    An argument like this seem to come up in every thread releated to EU and gambling. However, what is often forgotten is that the definition of gambling used is not relevant with respect to Swedish law. Swedish law does not prohibit all games that involve "money and random returns". The law is...

    Which came first?

    This answer probably makes me more seriousface than you, but the original question does not state that the egg need to be from a chicken. Therefore semantics does not matter. The egg came first. One can argue that it is implied that the egg should be a "chicken egg", However, then the term...

    Today is a bad day in EU?

    It's the weather The weather is nice (in Scandinavia at least) and it is also "The birthday of the church" (Whit Sunday / Pentecoast / Pinse). Which means Monday is a national holiday in many countries (making the weekend perfect for a mini-break). I noticed the effect of these two factors...

    Question: A new economic model?

    The reason decay is essential for keeping the economy flowing is that it works as a drain on the economy (i.e. removes peds from the economy). If decay becomes part of the lootpool it no longer surves this purpose. It is essential that peds are removed from the in-game economy. Otherwise we get...

    What frustrates you today in Entropia Universe?

    Easy overview of skillls I like to keep track of my skills, but find this harder than it should be. Using entropiauniverse.com it is easy to get a list of all the items I have, but there is no similiar interface for skills. Surely getting a list of all skills (numerical values) similar to the...

    Even if I am norwegian I think Greece should go through. It is not realistic that Team Norway, which I am not a member of (I am in Team Amethera Support in the WoF), would have been able to get enough points to beat Greece. The norwegian team got the Scaboreas global at 18:10 (according to...

    Parlog must have forgotten to post here and in your thread. As far as I understand he has been in contact with Hurrikane earlier. Below is some of that correspondance: Conclusion: Slot D is our first priority against you. Hurrikane only needs your confirmation on this slot.

    Second gold age? What a bummer. Surely we deserve PLATINUM! If I wanted mere gold I would simply go to the dentist and fix my teeth.

    Who "Deserves" The ATHs?

    Fair enough. But if this is the case then surely ATHs from atrox and oa 101 are well deserved. Right? Because MA's main motive for making something popular is because that activity is a "money maker" for them. Which again means that the ATH is taken from the atrox/oa101 player base. Which...

    Who "Deserves" The ATHs?

    No! Because EU is for our entertainment and that would not be fun. I can understand that somone think it would be fair, but it is definately neither entertaining nor fun. If it worked like that it would be like going to a dance club and being told that your dancing skills are only good enough...

    WoF Danish Dynamite

    Is this meant to be on the 25th? Notice that according to the rules Hurrikane posted earlier in this thread (see quote below) the match Amethera vs Denmark should be played before Poland vs Denmark. The plan is to play that match on the 25th (see Parlog's post above, also quoted below).

    How MA will Shut Down EU

    MA would shut down EU by stopping their investment in it. Even after investments are stopped EU would be kept alive as long as it generates revenue. Support services would be at a minimal though. It is important to realize that it is more expensive to develop new stuff in the game than to keep...
