This is what I wrote:

Another aspect is that, for good or bad, mentoring is open for a larger number of players than the current program(s) which is by invite only.

Meaning: More people who want to help beginners is good. Both for the beginners who have a bigger chance of getting help when they need it, and more opportunities for people ingame who wants to do something requiring use of the brain as an alternative than to use the PED card, meaning more incentive for experienced players to stay ingame.

and this was your reply:
ranpha said:
That some other ppl are asked to spend time everyday helping newbies (which the do anyways) cant be held against them because they only do what the love doing the most and thats helping newbies
Click to expand...

implying, helping newbies makes people look bad.

Compare with this situation:
A total beginner strikes a 10k mining tower the first day of mining.
I might say "I don't think it's good a idea that a total beginner gets a 10k mining tower on first day of mining"
What does it mean? It means that I don't think it's good a good idea that total beginner gets a 10k mining tower on first day of mining.
It does not mean that I hate that person who did get the 10k mining tower on his first day.

Statement from the CEO Jan Welter Timkrans concerning upcoming systems inside Entropia Universe

“We are currently prioritizing the systems necessary for the entire “Entropia Universe Concept” to function correctly. This includes getting the rudimentary space flight system that we had implemented in earlier versions up to speed. This is now our number one priority, which I am sure a number of current holders of hangars are pleased to hear. The new space system will permit flight from one planet to any other planet within the Entropia Universe and of course there will be opportunities for a lot of adventures along your travels.

We would also like to inform you that we have already employed about 20% new programmers who have started work in 2011 and we are aiming to employ about 20% additional programmers in the first and second quarters of 2011 so we can speed up the delivery of systems into Entropia Universe. Work has already started on the “Taming” and “ Mentoring” systems which will be back with a number of added features. Next in line is the “Makeup” and “Beacon “systems and mutants.”


Sincerely,

Jan Welter Timkrans

Well to add two times 20% more programmer is not possible with many numbers, unless you cut them in halfs, thirds, foruths...the lowest number it's possible is 25, and the additional numbers are multiples of 25. :ahh:

so they are 80% businessmen with 20% programming skills.

because we all know you can put a group of monkeys in a room and eventually they will write the greatest novel in the world.

so MA thinks by adding businessmen with 20% programming capabilities they can speed up the process of completing a non beta MMO.

though i hope im wrong about this.....
 
The 20% just represents the amount the old coders will be more lazy since they will think that they don't have to work as hard since there is someone they can put the work on to. Too bad that new person will have no idea.:laugh:
 
Was mentioned before:
Better hire one expert than hire 10 noobs... so the 20% doesn't mean anything, even if it would mean 10 people (which it does NOTmean!)

I think Jan's post here just made problems worse lol
 
Im just glad to hear the beacons and umbranoids will be back finally. Could care less about taming!

However, with this news, you can bet your ass people will start charging out the ass for whips, pet deeds, and whatever the hell else they can!
 
Hi,

since I recently got my diploma for BBB ("Business Bullsh*t Bingo"), and because I love you all, and because I was just bored, I took the task to translate this into commonly graspable English:

"Those friggin Planet Pains have made fire below my cute behind. All other work has been stopped, their lawyers demand we're coding dancing competitions, rock concerts, time travels, movie monsters and comedy shows - and we found out this was promised in the contracts actually ... So we have to do this now. Our old CLO was fed to 'em hamsters (*1), and ..."​

"... we hired a new one. This is a great guy, he is a wizard doing crazy effects in PowerPoint using VBA - so we'll pay 20% of his wage from the development cost centre, har har.
We also ordered our Lithuanian cleaning granny to learn web programming. She got a link to a great on line documentation, and we are confident that she'll soon be able to make our website so much cooler! As soon as she has learned German or French, this stupid site isn't available in other languages ... We'll pay 40% of her wage from the development cost centre, har har.
Our coding slave got his food rations reduced by half to pay for this. As a compensation we bought some nice, shiny electric leg irons for him, and ordered 3 more hamsters to provide the voltage for his punishment, har har."​

"Expect this to begin when we're ready with above mentioned. End of 2020? Har har. But it will be marvelous, we already had some great ideas! Marco and me are exchanging PowerPoints already, as soon as he's not sleeping drunken in one of the Gothenburg "establishments", or searching for his friggin Ferrari again ... Well, it will be similar to the former space flight, but this time depending of the pilot's piloting skill. Each flight will have a certain probability to fail, and in such a case you'll see a cool video, where NPC space pirates will loot you of all your stuff carried! Har har!"​

"Yep, we already made some PowerPoints for Taming and Mentoring, too. But we haven't yet decided how to implement it to ensure enough income for us. I'm not too busy with it, I'm not the youngest anymore, should my successors have fun with it ..."​

"I hope you morons will eat this, and finally start depositing again. We're low on money, them friggin Planet Pains are kicking my cute behind, and I already had to sell our nice castle in Germany! I couldn't even try the cool dungeon I ordered, what a pity! You'll pay for this, har har!

Jan Welter Timkrans

*1: Note to myself: Hamsters don't like CLO's. The diarrhea they got was beyond tolerable, the smell was terrible. Next time I'll try elks.

PS: Another note to myself: Order one more set of these shiny, electric leg irons for Hanne, and order 3 more hamsters for the voltage. She's fallen short recently to make them morons swallow. Maybe I could use a whip (L), too? Might be entertaining - anyway, she'd need some motivation I guess ... Har har."​


Have fun!
