Since this game is no-longer called Project Entropia.. Should the PED's be renamed to EUD's, as well as the PEC's to EUC's?

Would make sense to have the currency named after the game.. Not after what the game used to be.

I agree with Norbert, it is the orginal currency and it has a catch to it.
PED can be easily said whilst EUD may have a couple different pronounciations.
Keep it as PED/PEC. No EUD/EUC.
And, Project Entropia Dollar sounds better imo :D

But I want to revert to caveman!! (the girls are sexy in the films)

Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud Ud!!! :D

Seriously though, I agree with the poster above that ped/pec works perfectly already, and changing it would bring absolutely no benefit because then you would have the oldies calling it ped and the newbies getting confused and having to spend 10 minutes explaining to them...no thanks ;)
 
Not only is the PED historical, tradition and all that...

it is also pronouncable, whereas EUD... isn't. (And I am not even gonna try EUC)
 
Dancing for EUCS!!
 
And I can't wear my "Got Ped" shirt anymore, cause no one is gonna know what Ped's are. (Not that there's anyone here in Belgium that understands it for now)
 
whatever the name will be ppl will still call them PED :D like i still have the shortcut "PE" and the folder also is caled PE where EU is

If it ain't broke - don't fix it.
 
simply drop the capitals and say "Ped", just as you would Dollar, Pound, Euro or Groat, and the problem goes away.

i have no idea where the word Dollar comes from*, but Pound originates from a pound (lb as in weight) of silver. its not had any link to the weight of silver for a long time yet we keep the Pound all the same.

*apparently from the Dutch "Daalder", a corruption of the German "Thaler" an abbreviation of Joachimsthal, a Czech city which had a substantial silver mine and coin mint.

mayby EUE ? (Entriopia Universe Euro) imagine interview during CES and one of MA says: "we have EUEUEs:ahh:"
interviewer: "EUEUEUEUEUEEUE ? :scratch2:"
MA: "yep:ahh:"

:laugh:

seriously, let it be PED
 
it would be plain wrong to change just like uk trying too convert the Pint of beer to a the litre meaurements, you cant go to a pub and ask for 0.5683 litres of beer its just wrong.

a pint is a pint and a ped should stay a ped


thats my :twocents EUC's : er i mean my :twocents pec's
 
It was discussed when PE first became EU, it will always stay the PED and there is no reason to change it.

Should I say it?...

ok, "search is your friend" :D



Cheers :beerchug:

Will you be starting a Campaign for Renaming Universe Dollars (CRUD)?
 
Now, now.. Everyone has seemed to get the wrong idea from this post.. It was question of confusion, and all I wanted was an answer. In my opinion, I prefer PED and PEC, but I also prefer the game to be called Project Entropia. I'm sure that all you old players prefer it as Project Entropia as well, right?
 
lol.... those two sounds like crap to me....

u don't have to change something that works...
 
isnt it obvious

Ped is problematic. Short for pedophile at best, and also an outdated akronym.

If eu want to have any kind of seriousness surrounding they currency name it has to be an "Ed".

Entropia dollars.

The cents could then be "Ecs", but perhaps it would be more suitable to call them Eddies.

If MA does not appreciate the idea of the "Ed", might i suggest to call them "Jacks" as an alternative.
 
Why not make it EUD as the general name:rolleyes:

And then PCD for calypso and we need exchange when we go to a other planet:laugh: massive fees ofc:wtg:


Mwhaha even mindark wouldnt be so stupid to change the name of money unless they would change they money itself...
 
What about PCD (Planet Calypso Dollars) or FPD (First Planet Dollars)... :loco:

I made a t-shirt that says "I {heart} PEDS". Yeah... I've had to explain that one more than a few times. :laugh:
 
Nah, bad idea, MA will need to shut down the servers for a whole day to implement the currency change, and then when we log back in, nothing will work.....


Don't tempt fate.......


Stinky:yay:
 
"Dancing for EUD's ..." .. just doesn't sound right!!! :scratch2:

But if you should have a look of the correct'ness - it should be called EUD and EUC and not PED and PEC's anymore.

I love the PED-word though - and it's so easy to remember. But now with the new planets and since it's not a project anymore (muhahahahahahh .. hehe), it should actually change...

Newcomers the next years would not know the meaning of "ped" and "pec" unless they know the whole history!
