It's not a game, it's service

[JackFlask]

Well said, Auktuma. I hope you and your family enjoy your holiday.

Very well said Auktuma! And maybe food thought for thought for a vast majority of players.

A very happy easter to you too and all the best!

The new school is here!

I agree

I dont want to see this as a game tbh, and not a service either...

I want to see it as a universe filled with different people, shops, services, etc

I would like to give you my comment on topic i set: It's not a game, It's service for sure and that service is provided not by MindArk but more like by all of us. MindArk gave us an idea, abilities, tools, but how to use it we should findout ourselves. And I find it fair how they do - i mean saving information about abilities - best to my view is when men coming to ideas and plans how to use the abilities of media themselve. That's free will, that's progress on finding the way, that's fun, that's honor. That's the way we realise ourselve in virtual world.
About services i mentioned: You could see crafting service, tailoring, hair cuts, make-up service, video, journals, art works, music, fapping service, guarding ... so many services. All that services are needed to us to have fun we are seeking when joined virtual universe. Most of us simply wanna "buy" some good mood, wanna have some good time on our roleplaying and we need this and that. We need some communication with real people (ok ok ... avatars). We aint seeking to buy pixels, but looking how that pixels are good on providing us fun. (I very hope distribution of items will have lesser and lesser problems with a time and VUs so we could have lesser deals with resell). That are services to repair, fulfil our soul...
Virtual life services are mostly not for our body (material part; money) but for our soul. Emotions, honor, mood. Virtual life saved real life for many of us. It does high impact to our mind, thinking and what "services" we will provide/get - on that will our real life will be dependent. You got bad mood in real life and wanna kill some1. Why to go in real life, get drunk and beat some accident guys on street? Join EU, buy a gun (for a money you were gonna to spend for drinks...) and go killing several atroxes or neconu or... Find people who got same bad mood or who could help ya on your state and cooperate with them on killing higher mobs while alot of cool conversations and different communication with them during whole proccess.
Entropia universe is universe were all we live. There is no any secret that if you gained money - someone lost it. For everything you gained you should pay, provide some service to community. No easy profit. Offer your time, mood, knowledge or any other valuables in exchange.
Quality of services much depends on us. We shouldnt attack MindArk. I could see we havent used all abilities they gave to us - we have realised just very small part of it. Malls not working, mentoring not working, artwork and many other things are still on side. Still too many attempts to drain system, to have easy profit not paying price to community .
It's service, people, service we provide and have our reward for it...

Have an enjoyable stay.

Happy Easter to all

Yours,
auk

The only problem is that there are so many other companies providing much better services for meeting people, play with friends online insed of getting drunk and beat ppl as you say... etc...

but there are not many other companies offering same way to make money. (god help me for saying this, but ALOT ppl play pe to make money, and play other games for the good services of a good virtual world)

I think you misunderstood, Kimmi. I took Auk's post to say thanks for creating a universe that allowed us to be successful by providing good services to each other.

He also said that we haven't reached our full potential in this and I agree.

If I misread, or misunderstood, please let me know.

Ahh the quiet one speaks..

Very well said.

So much in that statement to contemplate as there are many ways to view it. It is almost as some one many many years ago coming down from the mountain to give us guidelines to life....

I will forever be a fan Auk ... and your post just reminds me of the most thought-provoking conversations we've had since becoming friends. I love and appreciate your depth, and wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments.
