Words from Marco

[Grey]

I just want to find Marco and give him a big
:P

[Quickening]

alright, taming is coming wEEeeeEEEEe

[Stratos]

The upcoming advertisement system closes the gap between virtual and real even more. The vision of Project Entropia is to be a mirror world of our own and we will never give up that vision. Project Entropia is a unique experience today and we will maintain the essence of what Project Entropia is forever. You are still among the first few waves of colonists, in a year you all will be veterans for the large amount of newcomers that will arrive. Project Entropia is here to stay.

Hope MA will doing well this time.
In my feeling with every VU in the past month PE gains more and more to a "Casino game" , far away from mirroring the real world.

[Ardorj]

Woohoo taming sounds so cool ... for all the ubers with a whip that is.
Another thing to look forward too!

And I think the advertising is like those cars in Hadesheim. I think we would see all kind of those real world thing around Calypso.

[kygon]

Marco you do realise is gonna be hard to best 7.7 lots of ppl are saying "Beat VU yet"

[Silver]

Nice to read the bit about us all being in the first waves and how we will be veterans "when" all the new players arrive. I think this is already happening, especially with ships full of newcomers arrving on the back of the Neverdie purchase. I am really hoping that PE will go from strength to strength, be financially secure and keep gaining new long term players. This last VU has been great, definitely one of the best yet. I look forward to many more like this one with cool content and changes that make sure skilled players are getting a fair reward for all their time and money.

Soon after arriving 10 months ago I started kicking myself for not finding PE sooner, when I saw the ubers in the game I was amazed. So far I have managed to amass about 115k skills (total) and get to Advanced Sniper profession. I see PE as a long term project and I would like to be profitable in the near future (seems possible now) and hopefully uber within a year. I am impatient though and keep trying to imagine how skilled my avatar will be in a couple of years time.

I'm pro the idea of advertising to subsidise the loots, although my understanding so far is that the advertising income will go to "special" loots only so may not actually increase our average loots unless we get very lucky.

For this world to mirror the real world I think they will need to introduce more realism in some areas. (The variable mob damage was one piece of realism that I like a lot.) The main changes would be in the area of loot from creatures and crafting. Getting an armchair from a creature is as many have said before very unrealistic. I think a shift will/should occur over time whereby we can loot good amounts of hides/skins/paint/teeth/blood from animals and weapon parts/electronic parts from robots matched by changes to crafting to make it possible to craft almost anything from these parts. (Incidentally I think it will be necessary to allow tree felling with axes to supply wood.) It seems to me though that crafting as it is now requires a very high investment and the chances of success for items is too low. This needs to be a more viable profession for people if the economy is to be balanced.

Marco|MindArk That is the idea. We mmust put those components to some use anyways, as that crafting area is currently way unbderused.

*Dash stares at his garage. Filled with useless junk.*

Y'know, I remember a time when there might have been room in my garage for a car, but now .. Now its filled with metal, electronic, and mechanical parts.

Time for a garage sale methinks..

[Madhoax]

I hope vu 7.8 will bring a steadier enviroment, I am stopping with playing now because of all the crashes, getting really frustrated. Since the last update it's really horrific. A lot of players are quiting because of this, so work on the crashes and give us more options to also play the game on low end computers.

[Kyroph]

Taming, cannot wait for this new vu

[Cay]

Adverticements?

Hoorray! I hope this means all the crafters, hunters & other professionals will be able to advertice their services in-game!

What comes to RL-ads I wish those NOT to be pop-ups or too bright contradict the surraundings...it would be good -though- to have actual advertices on the board around cities, like Hadesheim -see the background on this image:

But preferrably ads of RL items, suitable for the Calypsian world (no ads of "antiques" like the car I am sitting on...unless you find a way to put a little rpg:in on the ad like: "Used antique cars, 2006 models" or "on re-production now: Earth antique cars from ancient history of early 2000´s")

What comes to taming, I want chirps in gage and little baby daikibas following me around. Thank you.
