Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls!~ Walks of all Life!,

Today I'd love to get your opinions in on newer attractions! Something that can potentially kill off the mundane nature we know and love~! It works in other games and secondary life platforms! Amusement Parks, Theme Parks, Recreational Parks, and what ever that could tickle that fancy of ours for entertainment.

MindArk! Hopefully someone is paying attention at those desks or electronic devices of yours~...

I personally wouldn't mind spending a few PED/PEC ( From 0.50 - 20.00 PED or so) to enjoy some random entertainment that I could go back to with family or friends in our slightly vast Universe of Entropia~. This is a secondary life platform that needs to ramp up them frivolous thrills! Nigh is the time that you add in actual entertainment and set up course for 2020!

Who here would love some random Ferris Wheels! Rides! Maybe a locked in First Person Shooter Chirpy/Gibnib Hunt! Give out tickets for prizes that are used for fun like Fashion and Toys! No need to apply it for hunting, mining, or crafting! Just something that says... "Awesome~ I am enjoying this [Insert Item Name]!"

So how would the rest of you feel about such oddities added into Calypso?! Please give a vote and a opinion, maybe a suggestion for attractions and/or prizes. I wouldn't doubt if someone has mentioned this before.



May the HoF be with you, Always~...

Get a life and take your family in a park outside? :scratch2:
 
We have secondary lives we enjoy too~ ;D
 
Well obviously MA had this idea sooner than you, since we have completely free rolercoaster implemented with new camera system, and it is that awesome realistic that you feel like have to puke all over your screen when enjoying to much.
 
@_@ The initial release of the camera system did in fact give us slight motion sickness, however we got use to it on day 2. A lot of work that needs to be done to improve EU even further and changes can scare just about anyone. We spent money for frivolously crap on Second Life, WoW, GWs, ESO, FFXIV and other MMOs. Why can't we do it on here and nudging for improvements in the entertainment value helps their wallet and our wasted time.

Entropia Universe is a neat little sci fi themed environment, I'm glad that I've rejoined. Otherwise, I'd be spending money on lootboxes and such in other places not just for myself, but for my wife and kids.
 
Remember the introduction of the Golf courses when tp chips were disabled and before vehicles?

Remember that, I liked the waterfalls very much but removed together with the Golf course :)

Sadly there is not much points of interest left that would be worth a trip in EU.

I remember even older fun things, like sunbathing skeleton the maffoid villages and all that nice eyecandy in the old days.

GFX is much better these days, but what is a good GFX worth if there is nothing left to visit and look at ?
:scratch2:
 
:\ Kinda what I am hoping to get at. Make some points of interest, places where people can do a get together and enjoy some content that isn't murderhobo style gameplay, frantic mining sprees, or idling chat crafting. *shrugs*
 
Something like this be fun actually. WOW this game up a bit. Couple ped for like a day pass for rides etc have sum laughs. Maybe more peds for tickets for more competitve things and games or whatever. Totally doable and be fun +)
 
We did have a golf course. You see how that worked out...

People suggested chess, checkers, and fishing for years. You see how that worked out...

Some even suggested adding compets as an overlay to the main game similar to how the boxes do a small overlay similar to the one you see on the webshop if you open boxes over there. You see how that worked out...

If you study history you will see some avatars did actually implement a 'live chess' game at one point in time. Doing that sort of thing made it fun to drop stuff on the ground to interact with. You see how that worked out...

Interior decorating apartments, etc. was fun. Then came along the new camera system that made it a pain in the a$$ to move anything around in apartments since clicking on anything made your avatar pick it up. That's not been fixed yet...

well it would be fun.. im not sure how antisocial they are at MA or if theyre all livin in grammas basement but some fun things todo with other players cant be a bad thing!
 
Compets should of been done like the battle pets in World of Warcraft. There was no need to make a third party application for it. I currently have a better feel for Henrik. Hopefully MindArk might change by next year. *shrugs*
 
I dont want a theme park. So i enter that ferris weel and now what, im trapped in a place until the ride is over and have a cheap look at erratic random cam shakings with a way worse viev i would have in my Spaceship. Thats the definition of anti fun for me. I dont want to mimic boring stuff i can do in real life i wanna shoot dinosaurs with lasers and if i could decide were to allocate mindarks ressources i'd rather direct them into more lasers and more dinosaurs than a ferris weel :)

Add more FUN and possibly Social stuff.... Prepare for VR

What about sitting or lying down? What about jumping missions? Random maze? Clue Scrolls? Hide and seek? See Saw? Museums ? Adding any form of additional fun stuff to stimulate the player economy gets a +1 for me :cool:

I aggree with all of this.. what kinda planet or colony doesn't have some form of entertainment after 2 decades..
 
Mini games within the game!

More random games, party games, team/coop games!!

-Solving in game puzzles requiring 2+ people,
-Balancing games requiring teamwork?
-Remote control toys (GTA RC Toyz missions anyone?)
-Fishing
-Sports games? (Football, Frisbee, shoot-catch-block-score games basically)
-Although gambling is not allowed in EU (INGAME CASINO, Cardhouse, lottery :laugh:)
-Battle Royale with a Pot :cool:
-doing an activity faster or collecting more of a specified item than other players to win :yup:
 
Cyrene has the assault course instances, those are really fun. More stuff like that would be great. Mini games like let us play with the pool table on motherships would be fab :)
 
Rent marco gear for 20 minutes using the winnings at the carnival tickets offered at the theme park?
 
Scavenger Hunt mission with vanity prizes.
 
I'm glad y'all are giving critiques and opinions. Having something we can do with each other that isn't the normal is generally entertaining. I mean, people found pogo dancing on kegs entertaining!
 
Are you near LA area? If so, go ask ND why all these "amusement" areas and plans about ROCKtropia are abandoned ideas nowdays! I'm sure he can give you a good explanation why something like that can't be possible to succeed in EU platform.
Personally I had great expectations when I met ND and then decided to settle on this planet. Now, after latest changes I'm not hoping for anything. I'm just sad because I can't enjoy my game anymore. So I'm not voting anything here.

Well, here's the thing. If you run a business and failed to adapt and innovate with the current market environment, you're out. You can't follow 1 formula that works years ago forever and expect it to work today.


People will always want new things...


I remember when MA tried to be innovative and created a few (rather stupid) projects i.e. Deep Tokens, Compet App etc.

Its good that MA tried to do new stuff, but they did it OUTSIDE of their own Entropia Universe game :scratch2::duh::dunno:


Which comes back to my cheerful random FUN suggestions. Add new FUN content INSIDE your OWN GAME, I don't care what it is. Give us back the ability to dance on 2 to 3 stacked beer barrels and I'd be thrilled.

Removing the ability to drop stuff on the ground was very anti fun imho :(

We have had that long time ago.
We also have had ass-sliding fun, awesome :)

We have had a lot POIs made new players fun to discover all this things, like the underwater smiley, the rainbow tree, the sunbathing skeletons and the landgoing fish :D

We have had treasure hunts, to search dropped items, we have had parties on playerbuild plattforms

Totally agree.
Not beeing able to drop things for whatever reason we liked to drop things, is so anoying.

I remember the attempt to cover all Sakura City Hall with dung, which ended in PK to the guy who started to pick up all the dung befor we finished our Art :)

So much fun, thats no longer possible.
