TY K, Hugz from me M8. Fact is I never ever said I dont like the game at all, heck I love it, why else would I waste so much money on it LOL. Its just that the "dynamics " sucks at times. Even uncle Peter loses at times and expresses it, so what. We are powerless when it comes to FPC implimentations, so all we can do is express it here and I for 1 am happy that there is such a place to do so:) But you know what Khaos, I think he has never realy lost or felt loss in his life, probably why he doesnt like "whiners". Not that I try to whine, most of the time I dont. I am just genuinly unhappy that a couple of K peds deposited just dont go a long way anymore as it used to. Thats just pretty sad for non trust fund rich kids who also love the game they do. This month just sucks for me virtually speaking. TBH, I sure would love to deposit over 10 000 Dollars and afford me a full shadow armor, or supremacy for that matter, a modfap and a foeripper. But the peops who do and can sure hate us poor peops who whine about 100 dollars down the drain. I suppose you cant blame em either, cos if you havent been down there in the gutter ever in your life, making ends meet, how then can you know what it is like? Life is pure pleasure and roses for such peops and not a financial care in the world. Even in virtual reality birds of a feather flock together and hunt, Eamons, dasps and the mobs we can only dream of killing singlehandedly. I suppose FPC favors big depositors thats why they also get all the great HOFS. Makes sense too cos FPC all about making profit, right? Why the hell should they let a poor gall from the Missisipi delta ath giving her an edge ingame LOL?
Awesome, i would love to hear you hit #1. I like :) I can actually put you in touch with Michelle Kelly, she an exelent Music Promoter and have gotten many famous peops to the top in studio city:) just lemme know :)
EU is a broken game. A game has to be fun, period. It's not fun when you loose hours and days in a row. Where's the storyline, what's to explore/find/hope for for players who been here for a few years? Which leaves only the attempt to try and beat the system, win a ped. I love a good (team) hunt, or mining/crafting run, but when i see 'no loot' or 'fragments' or 'nrf nrf nrf nrf' or 'failed', they might as well pull the plug. Yes, MA has to turn a profit (i.e. pay employees etc), so that money has to come from somewhere. Taking it from the players is a big mistake though, at least in the extend that they do, that turns it into just another wow/grindgame (altho those games usually have a better storyline, things to explore). I already invest my precious time, in return i expect at least to have fun, which i only have when 'winning pedwise' in EU (for lack of anything else but grinding in the game, i already explored everything and tried almost everything). The obvious question is where do i expect MA to get the money then? I'm looking for a win/win. If MA didn't do such a bad job changing EU and attracting companies, we could get a fun experience, and the companies would have access to customers (for ex. company-ordered missions for one). Edit: will need an elaborous or at least efficient way to avoid gold-farmers, there has to be a real-life identification system, visa, id card, or ... involved.
You thus do understand that gamers like us are losing hope and motivation. There is no hope in hell that non-depositing gamers and low depostors can ever make it in a game like this at all. The dynamics are directly linked to deposits. I would HOF immedietly after a monthly deposit, yet never above or equel to what I have depod, always less. always at a loss. I do get the impression that FPC/MA are evil swedish peops, suffering from neurotic greed to the extreme. And I am not trying to be insulting here, it is just very apparant. And I also understand that they are weak to be so influenced and conditioned by a kapitalistic world. Sadly greed is ruining the gaming world that used to be all about fun and entertainment in the past. Greed is no friend of the funfactor.EU is a game invented and developed by a very talented narcisist. They dont realy give a crap who they step on for profit. greed knows no morality or reasoneable fairness. Sure I have rich friends. Yet I shall never ask or beg for money. Why? If I should do so, I would lose said friends in a heartbeat, lol. I also know why they are like that. Conditioning. Tho I would like to point out, that some of my most insane rich friends never became so through being driven by greed at all. Love of what they do and love for their clients, is primary and profit is secondary. This Modus Operandi in mindset has guaranteed them the success they enjoy now without feeling guilty about it at all. Sadly this is something that has eluded FPC/MA entirelly. For them greed and profit is primary and everything else secondary. This is why a game has turned into a controled and fixed casino, where blackjack, poker and slots are hunting, mining and crafting. Only difference is, in a casino you do have a chance to win but in EU your loss is guaranteed. In the first years of project Entropia it was realy great fun to play the game. But the EU now cant be compared to when they first started out. Greed is a gradual proccess and grows more diabolic in time. Greed does NOT make good people. And the wealthy EU gamers who depo big, are the only ones who realy are having fun. The expensive price of fun in EU is affordable only to a select few who can depo astronomical amounts without a care whether they can make their next rent payments or any monthly payment IRL. One thing is very obvious about EU and FPC. Their system of intro to the game is to weed out lower to middle class gamers and it is the upper class high depositors they aim their product at. They know that the poor wont last long and leave. All the tweaks and implimentations are geared entirelly to this end. It is vey obvious and you must be a moron if you cant notice the logic apparentness of this fact. Nice bunch of fun loving and people loving swedes huh? When the planet goes to shit their profits wont help them squat! They are haunted tho by self-preservation and profit-hording and safekeeping of ill-gotten gains. They live in fear of loss of wealth. Thus they have no peace, no inner-rest at all. How would you sleep at night knowing you have robbed someone of his hard worked for money in a dishonest way?
I really sympathise with the OP. There's nothing worse than making a big deposit (this for me is £100 = 1600-1900ped, depending on the exchane rate) and going to hunt a regularly globalling mob only to find you don't global yourself, and worse still your funds drain away in a short time period. It's all very well people saying "take a break" or "don't play for a while" but sometimes the opportunity to take part in EU is restricted due to real life and one might just need a blow-out immediately. There was a time when the returns on a hunt (or mining run for that matter) were at worst 80%. These days one can come back with only 40%, and it is killing the game. I do have to wonder how many people have given up on EU because of returns like this. MA can have the nicest, flashiest universe in the ether but if no-one plays it there will be no point in its existance.
Some here may perhaps want to argue that there are some players who have never deposited,(No way of verifying this as fact), and who have worked their way up over a period of 5-7 years. That may have been possible in the past, but not anymore. Anyone starting now at this time with such a goal will not be able to do so. That is impossible. Unless you can timetravel back to the first year of Project Entropia Beta and start from there
