 Aw, suck...

[Zaleramancer]

Anyone heard of Entropia Universe?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

No, but it sounds interesting.

[Zaleramancer]

It's a neat sci-fi MMO.

You know how most games try to crack down on people selling ingame currency for money?

They, instead, embrace it by allowing you to purchase PED (Project Entropia Dollars) at a 10:1 ratio. Ten PED for one dollar.

In fact, it's quite difficult to make PED without having some. Spend money to make it, after all.

Now, why would I mention this?

Because the game also allows you to convert PED into actual money.

Which means that yes, you can actually make money off of this game.

People have. One high school senior made $35,000 making weapons in the game.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 It suddenly got even more interesting...

[Zaleramancer]

Oh, yes.

I shall be trying to play it.

It didn't work on my old computer, but I'm hoping the laptop will be different.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Hope so.

[Zaleramancer]

Downloading, Downloading, Downloading.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

So, if you do end up making money, do you think you'll put some funds toward helping with the main site? Or at least with the game we plan to help get started?

[Zaleramancer]

In the unlikely event that I make money, this site is somewhere near the top of the list.

The tutorial was rather speedy to download.

However, the actual game-world is now downloading. It popped up after I finished the tutorial, and I'm not sure if it will stop if I exit it..

So I'm fiddling with the controls that let you change how your avatar looks in the tutorial.


I somehow arrived at something that looks like an elderly rich widow from a Victorian novel.

Let's see If I can figure out how to change the gender back.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Interesting...

[Zaleramancer]

A definitive source says that "she looks like my grandma"

I think I may go with that avatar appearance out of sheer amusement.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

[Zaleramancer]

Apparently, some drunk person from the game has entered the tutorial.

Sigh. This is going to be a long hour waiting for it to download, isn't it?

[Mik_Hael]

I keep typing in the verification code wrong, is there a special way to get it open or something?

[Zaleramancer]

?

[Mik_Hael]

I type in the three letter verification code at the botom of the sign up screen, but it says that it is wrong.

[Zaleramancer]

Then you must be typing it in wrong?

I signed up for this awhile ago, but was never able to get on it.

I'm not sure what it's doing now.

[Zaleramancer]

Another few updates.

Now we have Fighter and Bard skills.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Attention all players of TF2, we must band together in the new CO-OP mode and rise up against the Machines! Let's do this!
