simple question from previous Q&A rounds (why were they ignored is for everyone to guess...) : when approximately was the last mod fap drop? no need to know exact date, mob or similar, just roughly, was it this year, last half a year or similar. that can't harm MA in no way, not answering the question will leave only one conclusion - they haven't dropped in ages (as in not in last 3 years). should I take official word 3 were dropped in last 2 years as a truth is another question which I will leave as a spare one...

if I get a shot for second question, why were we told there will be enough footguards in loot before they get mandatory? people still miss a lot of mid and higher up to top level foots, they simply don't drop.

last but not least, dude where's the promised plasma and gauss opalo? any ETA on this one? I'm getting gray already since they were promised...

P.S. my signature is not just for beauty, it contains a lot of real truth!

Question to you first Red - Can you please put a list of selected questions on the first post? ^^


Two more questions for Marco:
- How often does he log on to EF?
- How often does he log on to EU?



- What is the biggest loot he ever got?

[Nihilist]

Whats the longest running inside joke in the MA offices?

May I suggest to everyone who has not done so yet listen to the previous interviews. Some questions were answered by the other two guys that have been interviewed and I would imagine some of what they said might be able to be expanded on by Marco.

Sorry Red...I'll have a few questions to add in a bit.

Usually there's a way to ask things, and get a good response....

With Laser/BLP amps the effect is visible. The weapon can clearly be seem to do more damage. With this in mind, "Do Mining amps actually do anything?" as some members do not observe any effect. It's understood that you can't say "what" they do.

(Of course the reply is going to be yes, even if the truth is "NO," but it would be interesting to hear the real reply.)

Editx: I know by the looks of it many of these questions may not be proper questions for Marco to answer. But, as they are all based on previous comments made by the man himself, I think they are justified.

How many entries are there on the to-do list or roadmap? (I always ask this, I have to keep doing it.)

Can you reveal some of them? CE2 does not count.

Is Mindark working on something that was not strickly chosen because it would bring in a lot of money (ie it might make Entropia more fun, but at a sunken development cost)?

Why don't you spend more time inside Entropia?


Edit:
Ah, the melee amps.
Ah, the egg.
Ah, the storyline.


Edit2:

Oh, and taken from the 2004-2005 road map posted by you (Marco);

When can we see that system live?

Edit3: Where's that shipment of alcohol?

Edit4(this is getting silly): There is already a long and deep storyline, why was it removed from the Entropia website long ago? And what's stopping you from simply putting it back up? The same goes for all the other information that was on the infobooth around and before gold, why was it removed and how about re-implementing it?

And I'm still looking forward to the milestones of Entropia's past, promised in 2004.

Oh, and of course a political system. Is it still another 5 years or more away?

[Sirhc]

Ok here it goes.

Needless to say the Xfire chat was mass chaos but there were some pertinent questions asked that might have gotten lost in the mayhem. Did Xfire supply/will supply/could MindArk with a log to those questions and would MA be willing to look them over and answer them?

Community relations is becoming a huge factor in the gaming community. With the addition of CKI, CRD, and any other future planet partners will each be responsible for their own community relations or will it default to MindArk or will it be a collaboration of sorts?

I know CE2 is a huge project for MindArk but are there any future community involved contests like the video and screen loader art contest planned?

It also seems like the promotional videos for EU need an upgrade since they still refer to Project Entropia is that in the works with CE2?

Sorry if I repeated anyone's questions.

1. I would like to know if Mindark plans to create mining event content. I spend hundreds of peds a day, but I dont get to be in the champions league for the profession I prefer to do. If I pay tax on a landarea for mining, then I think they should be able to make events for me aswell.

2. There are a lot of people who use autoclickers in the game to drill large claims or craft items. Has Mindark considered adding an autodrill function to claim rods or autocraft to terminals? This would make it so that a clicker would be virtually pointless to use and MA can knock out some third party software. Don't get me wrong, if I could get a clicker to work with vista and EU I would use one on some of my big lyst finds, but i've had to suffer major mouse decay the past year.

3. Will we be seeing some more decent unlimited mining finders in the future? I would really like to switch from my of-105 eventually, but there just dosnt seem to be a good stable upgrade to warrant the ped splurge yet.

4. Clothing textures - I hear it costs hundreds of skins to get one field of animal texture on a piece of clothing. Any updating on this in the near future, or is that how it is?

That's all I can think of right now off the top of my head; I really hope #1 and #3 get answered.
