Today i sweated a bit, found my first dung lol.
I also asked my friend to get in entropia with me again and we sweated together some, then he was curious about my soc so I got him and soc people for a meet up and he joined

In between that, we made some simple runs, Jason center tp to east scylla, and from fort ares to aegis mound.

Today started with a bit of exploring, took a walk near the private property near echnida, walked to the pvp3 zone for a look see, found some fruit... decided to explore caravan, passed it by the last time but didnt screenshot... just look at this goregous piece of land south of caravan

Today was some sweating and chatting, someone explained more about crafting to me. Sounds interesting as well... too many things to possibly skill in!

After posting that entry yesterday, I had to go back to meet up with some one from this boards that I had not seen in entropia yet! While going to the meeting point (in port atlantis! lag!) I met another new player that needed help with moving and rotational controls (I think these are the hardest to grasp for me too when I first joined)
After which, I also sold more sweat ^^.

Well today, started with more sweating, at which I met another new player friend and he had an accident where a mob followed him all the way to the revival terminal, in one of the service centers. We were both fairly astonished, and decided to try and lure more mobs into the service center. The turrets dont kill the mobs once they get indoors, and its really amusing to see them attempt to eat the wooden planks.

After that I decided to run about a bit more. And I went to ithaca, where I tried to turn on this nice light in the middle of the bar... it was a disco light how cool!

My soc mates wanted to run someone to a tp, so I joined them. They were doing some nice killing along the way. Although I was on my laptop, so it was laggy. But it was a fun trip!

After two days of cold turkey. First day because I decided I really needed sleep, second day, similar, but then again I was trying to download the new version of entropia.
So today its (first changed to orange suit for orange day

) and then sweating sweating and I decided to look for fruits purposefully and found some.
I decided to sweat at Ithaca a bit more, and realized that cornundos young dont hit me too bad and were pretty good for sweating, the combibo old was a bit more vicious though.
A tripudion old gave me 3 bottles of sweat before knocking me out cold

Today was some major sweating at fort troy and chatting with my mentor who seems to really think along the same lines as me, except that he was very surprised that I am still at 0 skills for most things (except from what you get from sweating) lol he was like most people cant resist going to try out. Well I said that I'm patient and I'm going to wait until I have 100 ped before doing any runs because thats supposedly more economical. And he was like ok take your time

Anyhow, after sweating, some soc mates were free, and I wanted to go exploring and suggested the pvp near orthos west mound so we headed happily there, got killed multiple times by strings of atrax, merp, drones and then finally got right into pvp where a nice huge warrior came after us plus atrox lol.

the nice signboard just before pvp:

One part I really liked was we were seeing all these red dots on the map and I was like hey where are all these red dots coming from? And I couldnt see any mob, then after searching a while my soc mate said that its in the sky! So we all looked up and voila, the red dot mystery was solved. haahaha. Anyways we decided to go back and try shoot some of the birds (they shoot i live bait) so we were formulating a plan how to do it and then we went. And the funniest thing happened...
the birds wouldnt bite
lol
attempting to shoot at them or sweat them did nothing they were simply flying too far high up.
After craning our necks for really long we were ready to go back when some mollisks came and totally ninja killed my soc mates. I was like oops! RUN! then an atrox came and killed me too. And that was the end of another interesting day

I've had too much fun in the last two days I think that It was hard to stop and come note down what happened... I have been exploring alot again, got alot more outposts on my map too

Went to look for the new place "altas haven" which is wrongly named of course, visited spiral mountain, (the mobs couldnt follow me up the mountain haha) but i think normal mountains look nicer
went to see the statue near twin peaks at the top of the hill
went to PA to see if i could help some absolute new comers, one followed me just out of the new people area and disconnected, the second said the game was horrible and he was going to delete it from his harddrive.
I sweated alot of nice random mobs that I dont usually do... some pics here and of other exploring pics:

I had alot of fun the other day, someone told me there was a black spot somewhere west of hadesheim... gave me coords but I couldnt find it. I did see a really really huge mushroom and some nice estates too. Then some berycleds were on my trail while trying to get to the coords of the black spot, but I ran into a little pothole and couldnt get out and the berycleds had me

After that I revived at a new outpost from which people like to go to the blue area further west to hunt feffoids. I met a few people there and enquired about the local wildlife. I found out there was neconu, which I had not seen before. So I ran up to look for neconus, after which one promptly killed me.

After having a nice close up view of a neconu,

I decided to run for the shore, since I had been north before and came from the east, and south looked inhospitable and miles to the next teleport.

So after a relatively easy run to the west, probably due to people hunting, I saw someone taking down a trox. I was near the edge of the ocean when I saw turrets in the middle of nowhere!

I thought... now surely there must be some housing here... but couldnt find any.

Anyhow, from the beach I proceeded south to the nice blue area where I saw feffoids... maffoids too? I got a little confused because on the same journey I must have saw both. But I saw them from a safe distance. The landscape was rather peculiar with all the blue cylinder like things everywhere.

After a while, I decided that since I was going to be heading south, that I should stop by on the other outpost along the way. So I ran to the outpost and saw the Jor Bridge
http://www.entropiaforum.com/gallery.../jorbridge.JPG
along the way (kindly informed later by friends) It is really a huge bridge in the middle of no where.

Anyhow I reached the outpost safely, then decided to attempt running in any direction but the one I came from. I tried that south and east, but died in both attempts and decided that I had enough running for the day and went back to the coast.

The next feature was the other side of pvp, I had been to this pvp from the orthos west mound side. Now I view it from along the coast and it has the same features, hirryuus flying overhead in huge numbers. Alot of warning signs line its edge with skull bones and the like. Its very amusing

Further down the coast I met a new player running in the opposite direction as me. We exchanged some greetings and continued on our ways.

Fairly soon I was reaching the sands of port atlantis when I saw my first chirpy! I was very happy and then it ran away as fast as its little legs could take it.

The next adventure was the newbie oil rig trip one.
I was online way before they started, so I decided to take a trip to morning tear castle. Having read about the usefulness of the revival area to get there I tried it with great success, I made a speedy trip there and back to teleport in no time , starting from pandora a short run, revival, a short run, morningtear castle, another short run and revive at echnida.

At some point I went to both camp pheonix and nymphtown and started telling all the people that were online on my friendslist about the event. Finally I saw the starting group at nymphtown. I feel sorry that being that late into the night my brains was not working anymore. Any plans I had about running early was made hard by the leaders saying they would make the plans later or something wierd like that, because I wasnt going to be with the hunters anyways so I assumed they thought I was just trying to chat them up or something odd

... oh wells. I should have ran ahead regardless... I mean how many places are there near the oil rig anyhow?
So yeah they finally said to tp to a location near the oil rig at which I groaned and started running off, while everyone was happily tping.
Reached the oil rig on the opposite side of everyone and saw a happy group of troxes swarming the place. Then luckily I had added someone to my friendslist, who I asked and they said the other side was clear. So I just ran through and revived at the other outpost. From which I ran there, and when I got there I saw alot of blue lights. I was thinking... ho... what happened? The pkers must have been busy! Then a trox rematerialized next to me and took me out. This happened a few more times, until finally I revived in a swarm of people... I realized that all the dead people must have decided to revive all at once! After pressing T to re-teleport and get myself out of the way for a while, I finally managed to escape from the throng.

I met up with a few friends and they wanted to run to nymphtown since they didnt have that teleport. So at first we went my usual way, but we got killed by trox because I forgot that when major killing of troxes is going on you have to get used to them respawning within their aggro range of you!. Anyhow, we died and went the safer coast way.
It was fairly eventless, and then I decided to try and look for the sun-bathing skeleton on the way back to nymphtown but the fishes got me. And that was the end of that really long day. By the end it must have been 5am or worse!

The next big thing was a friend bringing me north of troy with her on an armax combibo hunting trip. She gave me some focus charges and I happily sweated away as she took down the mobs. I also found some dung...iirc

Another day after that I followed another friend on a drone hunting trip where I found dung... again and got a dodge point... those drones are miserly!
