    Question: If you started over, would you do anything differently?

    Honestly I can't say I would change much except maybe I would run fewer mayhems. I tended to go inch-deep-mile-wide with the game for the first few years, experienced every planet, every weapon skill, got some decent starter armor, figured out what worked and what didn't work. Everybody has...

    Companies That Replaced Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

    They were only a little too quick on the draw. I use OpenAI Codex now and as a senior developer, I will absolutely tell you that, within a certain domain of the most common programming languages, it COMPLETELY REPLACES a junior dev in his first or second year. If you have the expertise to fix...

    Mindark 2025 Q1 financial report

    Gonna give MA some free advice, take it or leave it. I enjoy the game and want to see it survive. First. Cut the AI garbage. It's boring and finicky. Any dev energy or compute you dedicate to it is just money down the drain. Missions and rewards generated by the AI are drawn from a small...

    News: New Starter Packs

    the improvement of these packs is good, but it also highlights the need for a balance pass for a LOT of items already in the game.

    News: Mulmun Frenzy

    Bingo. The reason for lack of MU is a lack of depositing players. Period. Shuffling loot tables around like a game of musical chairs ain't gonna fix anything at all.

    Entropia Universe 18.14.1 Release Notes

    Just gotta wonder about the TT weapons. Like, it would have been easier to just copy-and-paste the values from existing TT weapons. It would actually take more effort to make them different. In other words, it couldn't have not been deliberate to release them in the better-than-average state...

    Entropia Universe 18.12.1 Release Notes

    that depends a lot on what the exact content of the agreements are between PP's and MA. PP's might retain some kind of IP rights to their content.

    Entropia Universe 18.13.0 Release Notes

    Wow, there was a TT item that remained recycleable this long? I'm curious how many people on NI knew about this and basically had a license to print money all this time. Wild stuff. Nobody let it slip? For two whole years?

    News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

    This seems very likely to me. As a result, it will be important for MA to have a system in place for the owner of the planet to give "creator/builder" privileges to non-owner avatars....i could see some owners as effectively "investors" or people who know what they want, but not how to create...

    i really do think a lot of people just come on here to complain. don't understand it myself. we all complain sometimes, but you know, no need to be negative in the absence of a cause

    News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

    this is way too restrictive. while i understand not everyone might like RT, the concept of theme-park planets is a great one. personally i'd love to see a medieval planet, or a dinosaur planet, or an anime planet.

    I am kind of surprised you don't see more digital ads too. The unobtrusive types, like on billboards that are part of the world, or items that drop, or something. Definitely not pop ups.

    Entropia Universe 18.12.1 Release Notes

    Let me clarify. As the deadline nears, the opportunity cost for selling out (of a planet partner has no ability or desire to convert) approaches zero. Before a PP will simply let a planet die, they will sell out to MA. IMO, it seems obvious that every planet will either convert or be sold to...

    Because spending money fixing a platform you are replacing is throwing good money after bad money. Better to keep the old platform limping along until it can be replaced.

    News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

    I think if anyone who has played this game for very long looks at the content in the game and doesn't think a motivated content creator in 2025 could do better, they are dreaming. In the current process it takes months, years even, for even the most minor content updates. I've been playing...

    The Future of ROCKtropia and the Genesis Probe

    I got a few thoughts on this. I'm also excited about the possibilities It's pretty clear that this is moving more towards what Second Life and Roblox are already doing, though I would assume, to nowhere near that level. The key design choice here is that the platform and tools must be...

    News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

    99% of the fixes recommended by current players won't attract new ones. there are ways they could convince current players to spend more. but those pockets aren't infinitely deep, and they don't scale well. doing stuff to bring in new players is the obvious play.

    News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

    There will certainly be limitations about anything regarding items and loot. There will need to be tools that allow the creation of items, NPC's, missions, land areas, mob spawns, and more.....and the tools will need to have careful limits. We'll have to wait and see. This is a BIG, BIG step...

    News: The Expansion of Entropia Universe

    Going towards the Roblox model is, frankly, probably for the best. I know it will ruffle a lot of feathers, and as in all changes in RCE there will be winners and losers. But the opportunity to get together with like-minded players and make our own planets, is pretty exciting. But like all...

    Entropia Universe 18.11 Release Notes

    Everyone I talked to was getting TT losses from those missions anyway, significant ones. But maybe they weren't losing quite enough.
