If you wish for something in particular in EU, just write what you want to be seen. I dont mean you should descirbe exactly what is happening in another game.
Do you after all really want the EXACT same feature in EU as in other games?

Look. You tell me the question I raised was answered by MB. And then you go against his answer by suggesting I use the wish list? Either I can accept MB's reply, which didn't make much sense, or I could use the way you described, but which would prove that my question was not answered by MB.

And no. I don't want anything in PE, other than a way to finish the deals I have pending in the fastest possible way so I can uninstall the game.

However, I do think that at least having a system within PE that is as good or better than other game's implementation. And why waste time by describing a system when you just could say you would like a system similar to that game by Blizzard?

Other game companies are bigger, and more professional that MA is. So why let MA discover the wheel all over again, if they can just check other games for their implementation? I am sure they already do, and just "borrow" content. It cannot hurt to point them to specific areas of a game's implementation that the playerbase thinks would be useful in PE as well.

So lots of stuff that has nothing to do with EU, and when your trying to find something that is acctually about EU, you can only find off-topic posts and posts about other forum, S&M and whatnot you wish to discuss that has nothing to do about this game.

People come here to discuss the game, and to be a member of the EU-community. Not for discussing everything else..

= makes you sound so positive while debating

It is no were said that people should turn EF into a mmo discussing/debating forum. It is still EF - Entropia forum - and I'm sure people understands that. What pisses me off - and I'm sure a lot of others is, that when we once in a while, and yes, that happens, are mentioning a game name - it's getting deleted. It's just really really childish.

A forum section on EF for other mmorphs was my idea - not others. I did say later on that it might be too much - then again, it is possible to make a section like that with all sort of "crap" like we have fun stuff etc.

I have / I am on other game forums were discussing other games are possible. It brings another level to the forum AND to the gameplay. Sometimes it is really nice to be able to constructively debating things not only about the game - but also other possibilites and making comparisons. And no, doing it in the wishlist is not the same. And yes, possible - but wont bring the same to it as if you can make an openwide debate not wrapped in cotton!

Any forum with the goal of being a meeting place for people with a common interest will get out of hand without limitations of scope.

Some may from time to time feel the rules or moderation heavy-handed in forums with set topic. But, how good or bad it is reflects in the number of active users.

As I understand it one fundamental thought was to keep this forum clean from whiny quitting posts and nagging about other mmorgs. So, now we can look around and ask ourselves, is this a successful EU-forum or not? if it is successful why try to change the fundament?

( umhhh i missed a load it seems so i wonder, Why did EF get a new Owner???)

Why cant we donate anymore, Does this implicate that EF is going commercial?

What are the plans with EF, How will EF be Paid for now that no donations are needed?

Will we get more adds?

Please update me on this, as ive been gone for 3 weeks and like to know whats happening, Yes i searched but couldnt find the answers.

Mr or Mrs or Ms 711 can you use a copyrighted trademark as your avatar on a forum?
I did need a magnifying glass to see it but it is there

If so i have a question for Marco
Can I use the nice Entropia E logo freely on the website i am currently developing, without the fear of getting a lawyer on my cute behind?

[EyeContact]

Is it allowed to sell RL items or services for peds in the trade section?

wiki uses lots of images from EU. It has a line at the bottom of each page which says:

All images are © MindArk PE and are believed to be used under the terms of fair use.

Fair use is defined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

It seems to refer to US law rather than Swedish law but at any rate I doubt MA will mind as long as your site is about EU, and promotes it in a positive light...

The second question every i asked to a mod, and its again unanswered.

Why is it that I can't politely ask a question about something to a mod and expect a decent answer? I am kinda getting pissed about this, as i really don't understand why I am doing that should result in no reply.

1. Is asking a question wrong?
2. Is it wrong for me to not understand certain things?

I ask a simple question cause i did not understand something that was said. I dont nag or flame or bash or insult anyone on this forum as far as I know.. I am really pissed about this but I do my best to control my emotions and keep it a clean discussion . Same as for my private message to the mod.

So why am I getting pissed about not getting an answer? Cause its sooo simple just to reply with, I don't feel like discussing it, which would be fine, but no reply is the same as ignoring. This means I find the way that my question is handles by the forum rude and therefor insulting.

This isnt the first time, actually it happend all 2 times i sent something to a mod. I am really trying to stay polite while typing this and its damn hard.

I don't care about the questions I asked anymore, they were so simple that anyone could of answered them. What I do care about is how ppl here treat me.

So my question now is, according to the rules i should pm a mod at certain moments instead of publically ask them. But WHY would I even ask a mod in private if you dont get reactions? How should i do it then? Well im starting to get ready to be the next loudmouth arround as ppl just treat others like shit, not only members, but also mods and owners of this forum..

The only reaction i got in my last question was in the lines of "you don't know what its about" which i did/do. A stupid reaction not to have to answer a simple question. I didnt even question the locking of a thread, purely a question about what the mod said. Apparently that is offensive, or aggressive, or nagging orso. I dunno. What makes me beneath you people? What makes you better then me? Or is it normal where you guys are from to treat people like shit?

I wont say all mods are like this but 2 of them are.

There is the correct exact stance on this inside the EULA

But Sakm....EU is susposed to be our alternate life. Where we can do anything we want, so says MA.

Had to...just had to...

Me thinks we all need to lighten up, yup me included, and recall this is just a game to have fun with....a break from reality.

Now back to your regular programs.....
