You know - I really worry about that. Like timmers said, what if I did hit a snable young ath? Even if it was genuine luck, no one would ever believe it! (probably me included! )

Even worse for me, as if it happened to this avatar instead of Pinky I wouldn't get to see a penny of it!

I just mentioned that because, it seems that the enhanced publicity an avatar & project like this would have for the Entropia Universe community, tends to result in..*ahem*..shall we say atypical returns...

Which was the reason behind my deciding to launch my OWN blog, to just as publicly share the opposite end of the spectrum.

2 People in my soc have blogs/diary/journals and they dont deposit and are doing very well. alot of people read those blogs because they are fun and intereseting. kind of funny how they on average have good things to blog about.

Yeah,I understood why you mentioned it, and know exactly what you mean, but TBH I dont think this article is that big of a deal... the only people reading it are people already playing entropia, so MA would achieve nothing positive by treating it any differently. In fact, they would probably have the entire community on their backs, so would think it really unlikely MA would want to influence loots on this avatar in any way - there's just nothing but negativity in it for them to do so.

You mean it's not like this already? Well, I guess if you swap "entire" for "most", just to be fair, it becomes an apt statement.

EDIT: Sorry for the thread-jack, I'll let this continue without further interruption.

Hi.

About what information can a noob use, i think any thing can be found in google.

I see i find EF about two weeks after enter ingame but find another pages about game before.

Greetings. Milesio.

Good Job on keeping things interesting and inventive. Can't wait to see how it works for you.

It's funny.. Just yesterday we were discussing how few noob's there are.. Someone actually said, "I cant believe I'm saying this, but I miss the noobs"

I think you should disregard any knowledge gained from EF, as not all noobs find their way here immediately. You should just use the info on the EU website, it might make MA stand up and notice that there's a lot missing from there, and that EF is not an official forum for EU, but a player-owned one!

Just a suggestion, maybe don;t use any EF knoweldge until someone suggests it to you?

What about the in-game ads that I run on a regular basis on the large ad screens, which are primarily aimed at new participants to inform them of this very active and valuable community resource?

In fact, I have an EntropiaForum in-game ad that has been running for about 8 days now, and is set to run for 30 days (the maximum allowed for in-game ad campaigns). I run such ads every couple of months.

I believe this helps to bring lots of new participants to the forum (EF gets about 300 new members every week).

Also, EntropiaForum is listed on the first page of the official EntropiaUniverse.com Community Sites page.

And as others have pointed out, EF has literally millions of pages indexed in the major search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.), so anyone doing a traditional websearch is very likely to discover EF that way as well.

Point being, there are many other ways new participants can discover the valuable resources found here on EF, not just via word of mouth.
