  1. Just read through the 10 year anniversary post.

    1.) Finally, as some of you may have noticed, MindArk has already started celebrating by juicing up the loots, globals and HoFs! No one can be sure when this insanity will end so be sure to grab your share of these ‘Modified Loots’!

    Oh wait, wasnt there this announcement about better loot lately ?
    Modified loots ?
    And noone can be sure when it will end ? Omfg, how did they know we love dynamics !?

    2.) Next week, MindArk will be announcing a major estate auction, quite different from the traditional land area model. All we can say for now is that the estate will feature some previously unknown alien lifeforms...

    Originally announced to be announced in january...wait, we just got the announcement of an annoucement, in january, so everything is cool... ;p

    Ooops, just checked "Content of Oblivion"... january announcements always lead to some unpleasent surprise. Just btw...aaaahhh the PR about the estate with alien lifeforms involved...lets SEE virtual worlds...

    Anyway, happy birthday, "Project Entropia" !!! =)

    If you don't care about gambling and aren't addicted to the swirls, then mining has been great lately.

    Haven't missed a day in 4ish years that wasn't technology or location(vacation without internet, etc..) related.
    It's fun, it challenging, it's got good people, and its where my friends are.
     
  8. Nothing wrong with what you write. =)
     
  9. Buuuuut ;D

    IF its something in space which many suspect,
    Then the addition of a new humanoid alien race (or tie in with existing humanoids or mutants, but they said new) would add alot of possibilities for npc ships, and an area in space containing asteroids or stations you can land on and battle hand to hand as well.
     
  12. Lol... Sounds like the lyrics to the next neverdie entropia song. :-P

    Still no announcement then? I guess maybe they are saving it for the "big promo push" ? I think they've had to hold back a bit on that due to the avatar issues over the last week or 2.
     
  14. ...and another week has passed without any news about the "alien lifeform estate".

    I should be carefull with my words though, as weeks are usually considered peanuts in this universe.
    [hell, even beyond peanuts]

    There is another option. Go and buy an estate or two. Just checked my estate total count it's now at 100. So I should really stop buying in case they don't turn out to be what I hope. The announcement must be pretty close now. Any day now or maybe sometime next week.

    The February update is scheduled for next week and we have various radio interviews scheduled, so announcement will probably be very soon. Unless they find more bugs. My guess is the announcement was delayed due to bugs.

    They can't exactly make announcement if they were unable to fix bugs. Players are always ready to make fun of them with something like that.

    Perhaps they should not have told us they will make an announcement. Then if they go down that route, players make fun of them for not communicating. So either way they are going to be in a difficult situation. Perhaps if we gave them room for "slack", they would be more forthcoming with what they are up to. After all communication is a two way process i.e. the jokes and insults people throw at them probably doesn't help the situation. Would you feel like talking to someone if they were talking to you in a "harsh" manner...
     
  18. If you were a developer company like Mindark and you had a descent PR department, absolutely. Unfortunately, they hired Traction PR instead of a real pr company that could hype em up better. Traction's website is still broken.

    Go to http://www.tractionpr.com/press.htm and press the Mindark button.

    To be frank it's better a developer just be honest imho. Personally I prefer that over some PR nonesense.

    MindArk seem to do that, e.g. they stated honestly when they thought the Jan announcement would be made (end of Jan), and we punish them for it.

    Arkadia use the PR approach. If they were in same situation instead of saying end of Jan they would say end of summer. That is, add on an extra few months for good measure so that when it does come true players who take them at face value applaud them how good they are. In reality it's all a "lie" implemented by Arkadia and applauded by us. If you prefer to live a lie that's fine...

    It would be better if we changed rather than MindArk. To preserve honesty and integrity.
     

  20. I dont want to sound harsh, but I made my experiences over the last
    1st of all:


    2 nd :
    Taming ? Golf course ? Broken promises ? The allmighty returning bugs ? The silent nerfs ? The lies ? The silence on the forum ? Announcements of making announcements about announcements ? This didnt happen just once. This didnt happen just twice

    If I couldnt make fun of MA, I would be indeed be very angry. ;D
