Yep. Facebook is the Satan of privacy... don't put anything on it that might be "used" against you. Just stick with happy stuff if you have to post (personally, I only have an account so I can manage a few pages for websites I am involved with.

Poor Fox. If you want I'll talk dirty with you will listen to your stories of your sexlife and be open-minded and supportive...

OMFG That thing is terrifying!

I have no clue....

I don't have much experience with weapons, but I did shoot a .308. I found it a very light weapon. Depending on where you are going and the local wildlife, you might want to have a bit more firepower. I definately wouldn't want to be facing, say, a grizzly bear when all I have is a .308 peashooter...

1) Go to google 2) Type "Zerg rush" in the search bar 3) Hit enter.... Dum dum duuum

I am so happy you revived this thread. I wish there were some way I could show you my gratitude, but I can't think of any. Shame DuxLux got kicked, perhaps he'd have had a good idea for a thank-you...

I wish I had seen this earlier...

Hopefully...today is the last day of that week, and now the male Dutch hockeyteam is in the finals.

While in space, I had been collecting a few usefull skills, and one useless one (well, useless in the path which I have chosen anyway). Today, I found someone who needed that skill, and I chipped out part of the skill and sold it to him for 274 PED (that is the equivalent of $ 27,40). This is a nice little extra playmoney

Probably a lot less then you think right now.

Impossible to say. I have had times when I played loads, I've had times I didn't play at all. The amount of free time I have varies strongly based on work. I think I may even have been away entirely for 7 months due to work. So I may have been playing for 7 years, but it is not all "steady". I've actually had "disciples" (that is what it is called when you mentor a newbie, to teach him how to play) who passed me in skill level in a particular field within 6 months of playing. So I am actually still a noob in some fields Actually, that is also one of the cool things. Unlike other -subscription based- games, out here, you can just leave and come back as you please. You don't pay have to pay when not playing, and when you come back, your character is still there with all his skills and items. This week I've (so far) played 12 hours. Next week, I won't be able to login entirely... And I am, like I said, far from uber (I don't actually care much about that anyway).

So, I just finished another (free) skilling run. Took the Mothership out to space and get the aliens to attack me (while others are repairing, this way, we all gain skills). Just driving around a bit: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/jeroenla/Kronan-cruising_zps7c072f3b.jpg But sometimes, running is the wise thing to do: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/jeroenla/Kronan-boom_zps37e215c0.jpg I actually saw another Mothership blow up in space... gonna be some people waking up in a Space Station not sure where they are going to board again.

EU has had some pretty bad press in the past, this is true. In the beginning of the EU (then called Project Entropia) it was marketed as a free-to-play way to get really rich. Obviously, this attracted a specific type of players. But since this IS a game, and it is run by an actual company...some money has to go from the playerbase to the company. (No shit, Einstein?) Anyway, we've seen a good number of people who just rushed in, deposited $ 50 (or more) and bought expensive stuff they did not have the skills to use and they ended up broke in a short time. You know, this is a bit as a three year old who has had the sidewheels removed from his little bike and then figures it would be cool to drive to school in daddies Masserati. Yep, people get killed that way Entropia Universe isn't about getting to lvl 100 in 4 weeks like some other games (actually, I sometimes have the feeling that over the years games tend to "dumb it down" a bit. Back in the days, you could have a game (without savepoints) where you'd die over and over at one point, untill you finally got past. This is less and less so. Anyway, back to the topic at hand: Entropia CAN be played without making a single deposit. But this takes time, indeed. You'd start out being a sweater, selling the sweatbottles you collect for some (small) money. With this money, you can get a hunt done. Or you can work your way to become a medic. The higher level hunters sometimes hire a noob to do the healing ("fapping" is the ingame name, after "First Aid Pack". I am sure the innuendo is totally not intentional). Most often, it's heal for decay, meaning they don't pay you a salary, but you don't have any cost either. And you gain some excellent skills that way. Plus, if they strike a good one, you might get a tip from them. Or, you can indeed deposit some money. I always recommend that you spend the first week or so sweating and exploring. And determine how much you are willing to spend. I played for 6 months before I made my first $10 deposit, and it made all the difference. I had some skills already, and with the sweat I had already earned enough for the basic hunting gear. So that money went straight into hunting. You just determine how much you are willing to spend. Is it $50 a month? Cool. Is it $500 a month...eh..okay, if you want to. Is it $5 a month, that will work too. Just determine your budget, stick to it, and adjust your gamestyle accordingly. Nowadays, I am unemployed, so I cannot currently afford to put money in. So I play the cheap game for now. I spend my time alternating between being a pilot on a Mothership (spaceship) where I get free skills which are quite useful in crafting (the long term goal I chose when I began long ago), and swunting, which is a combination of first sweating a mob, and when it is "dry" kill it. It keeps me occupied and still progressing (but slow). Added advantage, the mobs I hunt actually count towards a mission chain, so I am progressing on that as well In the past, I have made some decisions that were not that smart at the time (I was drunk at a moment when they introduced a feature and made a huge purchase), but which is providing me with a steady income now. So I get my 100 PED a month budget which I began with as a noob from my ingame efforts now, which is great. I am far from uber. I am far from hunting the really scary mobs. But I am doing quite well. Entropia Universe is about becoming another you. It is the closest thing we will ever be able to experience to being a pioneer on another planet. I friggin love it.

I respectfully disagree This game has so many corners and activities to discover, it is sheer impossible to comprehend at first sight. Hell, I've been around for 7 years or something and still discover new stuff every now and then. Ok i just dont like this kind of game..i prefer something like watch dogs call of duty.. Fair enough.

Huh? Socks?

Do try it! But be warned though.... don't go running around blasting everything away like you would in HALO. The game works on Real-Cash-Economy, meaning you buy ingame currency, which you buy your ammo with. So you have to make good decisions about what you will be shooting at, in order to get good resources which you can sell again. PM me your ingame name, if you want to join the soc I am in.
