News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

Bertha Bot said:
Planet Calypso, ROCKtropia, Next Island, ARIS, Monria, Howling Mine and Secret Island will all adopt the Genesis Project technology. However, any existing planet that elects not to transition to the new development tools will face a cataclysmic extinction event within four years ( Hold Over Period). Players holding deeds or items from planets choosing not to transition will be offered compensation options via other participating planets.

Keep in mind that the total Caly shares in-game comprise of only 50%.

You will never lay your hands on the single one I own. Mu-haha. Denied! :evilking:

But keep in mind that I talk about the new Genesis Project technology that Calypso agreed to follow now. Same as ROCKtropia, Next Island, ARIS, Monria, Howling Mine and Secret Island.

I think you're in the wrong game because that's literally every other game out there. You'd be the only 1 left here if they got rid of RCE since all the other games are also better than this 1 for normal entertainment wise and we would all leave to play them instead.

It wouldn't make sense for you to pay 50-100 grand usd for your own planet to have no way to recoup that money either.

It would and who said ill be running a charity . However with the current model there's no way to offer anything else than the established system. If someone said was to make a planet that runs on subcribtion model not connected to the ped - or a run a micro transaction scheme he might actually be able to do better !
 
They can not get rid of the RCE because the whole game is created on and around the RCE element. Ever single player would become instantly poor the moment they got rid of the RCE.

MA could still add subscription models to this game and still keep the RCE element intact.

All they would need to do is add subscription packs to the web shop or when UE5 launch an in-game web shop where you can subscribe to packs or buy the starter packs or any other new packs they add in the future.

They could also make them much better value as well. Do deals or 100% bonuses etc for new players. The more attractive that MA make the stuff in the web shop will be beneficial to everyone including MA's bank account.
 
Friend and RCE brought me here. IF they add battlepass or Sub model i might leave. Not having those things forced down your throat is one of the things that make this game unique i think. IF they fix all the minor bugs/nuances and add more systems to support sandbox elements and creativity this game would/could be booming. 🤔

PS: Create starter packs for all types of weaponry. rifle and knife are good start and i really enjoy using them!

So in order to "expand and grow" the Entropia Universe we are literally going to create new planets and spread out through the galaxy further separating the dwindling player-base?

Sounds great.

Nothing says "I am a solid and trustworthy business partner" like telling your partners and players you are going to blow up their planets, gear, deeds etc. if they aren't on board. Excellent business strategy. Must be some Wharton grads on this team.

Not sure the Planet Partners will care as nobody is on them anyway, and they can't possibly be making money, but your players on the other hand...bah, who needs them. With ideas this good, the players will be overloading the servers.

I feel this could be even bigger than ComPets!!! Maybe you could sell some NFT's and shit-coins, I mean EU coins to raise some much deserved capital for this brilliant plan?

Entropia Universe on the blockchain! There you go. What could go wrong?

Will this happen before or after Unreal Engine 5? Probably doesn't matter, y'all have everything figured out...

In order to expand and grow entropia needs to atract more players. While the introduction to the game to steam was a step in the right direction it was done faster than introducing quality of life changes that would have allowed us to keep those players. It should have done after those changes. That being said with the current economical model that is super hard. And it's what drives new players away . Until that model is changed/swiched or replaced i don't see player population growing you are litteraly using a model 10+ years old which is obsolete! I know this would never happen but if a planet partner is allowed to run his own planet without being connected to the unified economy and use a different model such a subscribtion or microtransactions that will actually have people comming to the game and the population will grow. Have different planets even private planets and allowe people to create their own worlds ! Why are you guys hell bent on this model till it eventually runs you into the ground ?

ikr. I'm already unhappy about how they converted my shop to an apartment.. now if any of my assets in game disappear (i.e. ark la)... you'll see me disappear too. spend my time and money elsewhere...
 
If MA cared about the planet partners and the players they would have consulted with us all first before they decided this is the direction they wanted to go in and take the game going forward.

Genesis Probe would not happen without UE5 and I am guessing UE5 would not be happening if Genesis Probe was not a reason they are making the switch to UE5.

I have said this before in this thread.

The Steam launch might have brought in some new players, but not enough to fill this entire massive expanding universe. They introduced Aris and now the new moon Satesh. How many more empty planets will be derelict that the Genesis Probe will create?

I do not want Genesis Probe, I want UE5 badly but then the threats to the planet partners is totally uncool and not the right thing to do. MA is being like bullies.

We need MA to stop and think, talk to the playerbase, consult, do polls, speak to the planet partners and most importantly ADVERTISE THE GAME!

The game needs thousands and thousands of new players so when we go anywhere including the new moon Satesh the planet is not dead and empty with cheap walking AI NPC's to make you think it is alive when in fact it is not.

Yep exactly this as well.

No doubt this will mean that drop down list will be even bigger soon.

MA should just make a global auction that covers every planet. But they will not do that because they would lose fees and also would be unfair for warp ship owners.

You want UE5 but im guessing thats not going to happen we have been hearing about it for almoust 3 years now if they have done any work on it they would have shown it. As it would least for a while lure people to the game. This is just a guess as i have no evidence but they probably descided with the current dropping number of players its not feasable to make such an investment!

Satesh was the testing moon that they mentioned in the blog post many years ago when they announced UE5.

Satesh was built inside the UE5 engine. You can easily see when you goto Satesh right now in game that many things are indeed signs it was all created in UE5 and just backported to our current CryEngine 2.

So for you to say that they have dropped it altogether is nonsense. If they dropped UE5 I am sure we would have heard about it in some way or form.

UE5 is still happening we just do not have any idea when. It has now been over 4 years since they announced it. 4 years is a long time and plenty of time to have got a working version ready to go.

Yes the lack of devs MA have does not help in the time it takes and also the updates they have done in the current game in the current engine. In my opinion I think it was strange that they kept doing big updates in the current engine when UE5 is so much better and easier for them to work with going forward. They should have put everything into UE5 and just did patches to current engine until the UE5 was ready for release. If they did that I am sure we would already have UE5 Client!

Just my opinions of course.
 
I think it's wild they dropped the original announcement, one of the more significant announcements they've made, and 15 pages of responses in, with some well thought out questions and requests for clarify, but then they just kind of fucked off about it with 0 follow up or clarification

Ok Humour me everyone seem to think that Unreal Engline 5 is the magical wand that is going to fix everyone's problems but a better looking game without any economical changes is just a better looking slot machine is still a slot machine. I've been arround 2007 and i can tell you this MA is not the biggest fan of sharing with us any information till the changes drop. If they changed their mind about something they don't let us know either .We have community managers that don't exactly speak to the community.

I know exactly what MA is like, I been around since beta before the game went gold in 2003. I lost access to my old account though and created this one in 2010 that I use now.

I also wished that MA would be more open and actually talk to the community and players more but it appears they only cater for the high spenders and the ubers. They seem to care more about them than anyone else as well.

Also we just want updates but no amount of asking MA to give us updates will not force them to start being more open. Only way this could change is if MA sold the company, maybe then the people who take over might actually be more open to give us more details and updates and timeframes etc.

I do.

So the Satesh was 19.0.0 update number. I said some time ago when speculating in the discord server that UE5 could have been the big 19.0.0. But I also mentioned they might be waiting for the 20.0.0 number for the massive update to launch UE5 Client. So if that is the case because we are so so early on in the 19 number now I am guessing we could be waiting at least another year now for UE5 Client.
 
Can I just give a comparison to what will happen and is happening in EU and what it will be like when and if this bad Genesis Probe feature gets implemented?


I mean this is basically what every single new and existing planet will be like apart from Calypso. But even caly is pretty dead in most areas as well.

I mean 2K players could not even fill up caly. Stretch that very low playerbase into space and into other planets and then the new terraformed planets?

Don't worry the synths AI Mindark is building will fix everything it will make the planets feel alive and they will fill the galaxy. I bet they will travel in the future in space

Something to think about the synths AI they are building.
 
Planet Bones will be using all those buildings to house the homeless sweaters.
Sweaters are people too , or at least we have made that argument.
