Question: Why is there still no revised storyline ???

[AJack10600]

I really really would like to know why there is still no new or revised Entropia Universe storyline ... ?

Every MMORPG has a storyline that leads the gameplay, Project Entropia had one... and I read it and I was hooked to play this cool Sci-Fi MMORPG... I loved the original Storyline... (Link to the original down below in my signature)

Then suddenly this Storyline dissappeared from the PE website... then came EU... and still no new Storyline... I asked Marco about it via PM, and he promised a new one soon (over a year ago now I recon... )... then we asked about it in MA Q&As, in MA chats... and we were assured it's coming...

Now I don't expect MA to rewrite a whole new story anyway cos I liked the old one so much.. but why on earth is it so hard to publish a revised Storyline ??? I mean a new joiner has no idea what EU is all about, what setting is it playing in? What are the drone attacks? Why are there drones on a deserted planet ? Why the ruins all over the planet ? Why the space ships ?

I dunno if I am the only one here that is missing this little details so much... and I also know that I have raised this point again and again and again (I know this could become boring ... ) but I think it's a fair point to raise.

Why is it so hard to put a new storyline on the website? If you don't have time, why don't you just put the old one back online? It's great? Why did it dissappear in the first place ?

Anyhow, I'm not whining, I just think this is a really open action item for MA... maybe we can have an update on this ?

Your right, I loved the original story line too.

Seems the story is gone from EU for a reason.

EU is nothing like PE and the story doesn't fit anymore.

I think MA is a little too embarassed to even print that now.

Shame, PE was very cool. I play EU because I'm addicted to PE, even tho it's hardly the same game anymore.

Yeah, I'd love some more storyline too.

And... It'd also be cool, if MA could "finish" some of their minor storylines too somehow. (I'm thinking about the meteor, the argo attack, the egg etc)


Maybe finish stories off with "press announcements", explaining what happened etc, for future colonists to read up on if they want.
(Like how the esteemed professor became a new race of slimy evil globsters... Many people will find it interesting to know the story behind things, I'm sure)

I think i got the answer but i cant be sure on it.

But MA doesnt have any real educated game designer, ie one who can write stories and so on. MA has focused on providing just a platform it seems and that's kinda sad.

Marco i think is the only one in the company with any game design knowledge to my knowledge but he is occupied with other things now it seems.

But well that's my about this.

Very nice, I've never read this story before (I didn't even know it existed!)! +rep
It all makes sense now!!!
And yes I also like the little details, there should be more stories like this...

Id definatly love to see an adjusted storyline, new branches of the old, whatever. I also think it would be kinda awsome if they introduced it ingame, rather than on their site or on a forum. Like, a database accessible ingame where you can browse events in calypsian history, where there's the gathered knowledge about the universe as we know it, where epic characters are mentioned. Kinda like a fictional storyline that further along the timeline (eg where we are now) gets mixed with what we as inhabitants are creating ourselves.

We as a company is moving forward at tremendous speed and everyone is busy bees. Both me and Frank and Magnus would love to be able to expand the storyline but right now there is simply no time for it - the basic low-down.

I agree ... EU is not much without the story to back it up...

I know what happend because A) i read the original story B) iv been here for 4 years to expirience all the events that lead us to where we are today ...

however if i were a new player i wouldnt totaly understand what is going on why mutatns why robots why beacons ....

Puting a simple story behind things can add a lot of depth and meaning into the expirience ...

we dont fly for Beacons to collect loots ... we fly there to kick some robot ass in revenge for all the terrible things they did to us in the past and defend the planet from invaders from the Akbal-Cimi system
