Hello all!
These are hectic times! Project Entropia is moving forward at an enormous pace. Enjoy the ride.
A space resort sold in three days time for 1,000,000 PED – amazing, but this is just the beginning. Expect more great things in the near future.

VU 7.8 is lumbering along – the main feature therein is the taming system. The last few weeks I have seen Daikibas dance and Snablesnots do acrobatics. Hilarious stuff.

The upcoming advertisement system closes the gap between virtual and real even more. The vision of Project Entropia is to be a mirror world of our own and we will never give up that vision. Project Entropia is a unique experience today and we will maintain the essence of what Project Entropia is forever. You are still among the first few waves of colonists, in a year you all will be veterans for the large amount of newcomers that will arrive. Project Entropia is here to stay.

Don't forget to pick up your copy of the official PE Magazine, "The Entropian" from the auction in the beginning of next week. I am sure your will find its content exciting, fun and enlightening. Also, this is probably going to become a collector's item.

This is the decade of the gamer!

Taming Gooooooooooooooooooooo Mindark Woooooooooooooooottttttttttzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
 
Sounds good to me :)

:beerchug: :cheer:
 
I cant but feel this is encouraging me to stay :)

(not that I planned to leave)
 
lol, im not worried about taming, i want the advertisements, cause that will mean money that we dont deposit as loot in the game, extra loot, that will be so nice.

Agreed, because im sure everyone is wanting better avg. loot
 
It sounds good .
Lets wait and see how taming is.All is about gameplay .Many people dream to ride an areanatrox...
At last a use for nutriobars and fruits? ;)

(Can anyone calculate the amount of useless fruits spawned since December,15th 2004 until future VU 7.8? lol...anyway,better too much fruits than too few )


Advertisement system.........MMOG were the last place in our modern world that advertising couldnot reach..........yet.
Accept advertisment for better loots,or refuse and get worse loot?...that is the question.
I only wonder how much some company can pay to "spam" 5k-10k PE-players(and 300k sweating avatars or colorer disciples :D )
 
I want to know how intrusive the advertisment will be? I mean if they merge into the game that will rock. I mean I don't know if I should be expecting some sort of popup like "This loot brought to you buy *****" or if there will be some add bar some where just scrolling stuff?

Hey along with all of this stuff. Since we have advertisers I wonder if the rich ubbers will get sponsers? Or if anyone will be able too. I mean it would be kinda cool to see some logos on armor.
 
I just want to find Marco and give him a big :grouphug:
:p
 
alright, taming is coming wEEeeeEEEEe :D

Hope MA will doing well this time.
In my feeling with every VU in the past month PE gains more and more to a "Casino game" , far away from mirroring the real world.

:dunno:
 
Woohoo taming sounds so cool ... for all the ubers with a whip that is.
Another thing to look forward too!

And I think the advertising is like those cars in Hadesheim. I think we would see all kind of those real world thing around Calypso. :cool: :eek: :cool:
 
Marco you do realise is gonna be hard to best 7.7 lots of ppl are saying "Beat VU yet"

Nice to read the bit about us all being in the first waves and how we will be veterans "when" all the new players arrive. I think this is already happening, especially with ships full of newcomers arrving on the back of the Neverdie purchase. I am really hoping that PE will go from strength to strength, be financially secure and keep gaining new long term players. This last VU has been great, definitely one of the best yet. I look forward to many more like this one with cool content and changes that make sure skilled players are getting a fair reward for all their time and money.

Soon after arriving 10 months ago I started kicking myself for not finding PE sooner, when I saw the ubers in the game I was amazed. So far I have managed to amass about 115k skills (total) and get to Advanced Sniper profession. I see PE as a long term project and I would like to be profitable in the near future (seems possible now) and hopefully uber within a year. I am impatient though and keep trying to imagine how skilled my avatar will be in a couple of years time.

I'm pro the idea of advertising to subsidise the loots, although my understanding so far is that the advertising income will go to "special" loots only so may not actually increase our average loots unless we get very lucky.

For this world to mirror the real world I think they will need to introduce more realism in some areas. (The variable mob damage was one piece of realism that I like a lot.) The main changes would be in the area of loot from creatures and crafting. Getting an armchair from a creature is as many have said before very unrealistic. I think a shift will/should occur over time whereby we can loot good amounts of hides/skins/paint/teeth/blood from animals and weapon parts/electronic parts from robots matched by changes to crafting to make it possible to craft almost anything from these parts. (Incidentally I think it will be necessary to allow tree felling with axes to supply wood.) It seems to me though that crafting as it is now requires a very high investment and the chances of success for items is too low. This needs to be a more viable profession for people if the economy is to be balanced.

[RR]Dash_Smashing [q]: will we be able to use electronic & mechanical components and the like in the creation of larger machine systems?
Marco|MindArk That is the idea. We mmust put those components to some use anyways, as that crafting area is currently way unbderused.

*Dash stares at his garage. Filled with useless junk.*

Y'know, I remember a time when there might have been room in my garage for a car, but now .. Now its filled with metal, electronic, and mechanical parts. :yup:

Time for a garage sale methinks..
 
I hope vu 7.8 will bring a steadier enviroment, I am stopping with playing now because of all the crashes, getting really frustrated. Since the last update it's really horrific. A lot of players are quiting because of this, so work on the crashes and give us more options to also play the game on low end computers.
 
Taming, cannot wait for this new vu:whip:
 
Adverticements?

Hoorray! I hope this means all the crafters, hunters & other professionals will be able to advertice their services in-game!

What comes to RL-ads I wish those NOT to be pop-ups or too bright contradict the surraundings...it would be good -though- to have actual advertices on the board around cities, like Hadesheim -see the background on this image:

[br]Click to enlarge[/br]

But preferrably ads of RL items, suitable for the Calypsian world (no ads of "antiques" like the car I am sitting on...unless you find a way to put a little rpg:in on the ad like: "Used antique cars, 2006 models" or "on re-production now: Earth antique cars from ancient history of early 2000´s")

What comes to taming, I want chirps in gage and little baby daikibas following me around. Thank you.
 
looking forward to taming not that i think ill be trying but it will inevetly bring more dynamics to the game and make it more "real"
 
Taming!

.... so now my whip can be used elsewhere than on my friends .......... ;).
 
event sys

Marco

Whatever happened to the event system?
any ETA on that?

regards
 
I'm looking forward to that VU, not that I will be able to play it, but hopefully I can find a way to do it. Taming is something highly anticipated by all, maybe we can give pets to others, would be nice like in other games you can buy pets.

The first part should come right before or right after Christmas.
 
I'm happy with everything that would make loot better :tongue2:
And taming is also something nice to see. I wonder if someone has a tamed mob if it will be posible to make him attack someone :dunce: guess not :D
 
Taming to me sounds a bit queer, and it always has.

"jay, i got a daikiba stalking me.."
Then what?
ehm, fido attack?
Whats the main point of it anyway? >_<

and the adverts scare me.
i do not want to hear "you are an excellent gamer, buy coca cola" when im in town. Nor do i want to see a huge coca cola advert in twin peaks.
Scary stuff! >_<
