I haven't logged in here for a few days and come back to this? You are completely delusional and have been either living somewhere apart from earth or you lack the education to determine what gambling is. Paying money into anything to try and win more = gambling. Paying money into slot machines to win more = gambling. Yes despite what you say think or write EU is a game of gambling. As for your research you still are blinded by MA's crap.  So why don't you go and REALLY do some research and get back to us with your findings. We all play EU and we all deposit in to EU but the FACT of the matter is we all know it is a gamble. Anyone with half a brain can work that out.

Yes it is very unfortunate that these people now inhabit our planet. Some of the scam tactics I have had tried on me and the ones that I have read about really do ring alarm bells for the unsuspecting noob. Personally I have never been scammed, one guy came close to scamming my wife lucky that we sit side by side when we play. I quickly put a stop to that and filed a support case to MA with screen shots including chat. By by scammer. To all noobs, do your homework and gather as much info as you can on a constant basis. Be very cautious of the "to good to be true. "

Yes indeed, interesting times are ahead for all of us. I am looking forward to see what develops over the next 6 months. 18 more land areas is a great benefit to EU and all who inhabit Calypso. It seems that MA are switching into high gear with the introduction of their planet partners also.

These are 2 good posts to read, you both have the right attitude toward EU and the ability to realize that it is not a get rich quick game. But a fun and challenging environment, My wife and I both play EU and enjoy it a lot. There are always things to learn about EU and with time and patience you will find yourself enjoying it more and more. Good luck to all EU players.

You and I have a very similar attitude toward EU, I am also a sci fi nutter from way back. Well buddy we shall see what MA have install for us with the new planet partners and the new VU. Let's hope it is a positive step in the right direction not only for MA but for all of us in EU.

Maybe that is what MA need right at this moment to actually realize there could be competition on the way for them. At the moment there is no other game like it out there. My wife and I play EU regularly and have done for a while now. As we don't look at EU as a get rich game like a lot do we would like to see MA give some more back to it's players. Yes the loots have decreased and yes the mining and manufacturing has also become a little expensive, but it is a game, entertainment call it what you will. However it is only as expensive as you let it become for you. As a regular player and depositor of EU I feel that competition would soon make MA change the way the game is structured or they will simply loose their client base to a game that is similar but a lot farer on the player. My wife and I will continue to play EU as we both love the constant challenge of skilling up, hunting, mining and manufacturing. But don't get me wrong for one second here, if something better comes along we will happily leave EU as quickly as we joined...

You make me laugh, you little ogre, how many of you are there, speaking of cloned....

The add does not say RL economy at all it states RCE which is real cash economy, which EU has.I wish you people would actually READ what is stated by Mindark, and stop assuming because assuming in this case makes an ass out of you....

Very well written and thought out my friend.

Ok here it is your reply from me to - "This Game Sucks"

 EU ingame names -  Dash Night Shade & Andrina Night Shade yes my wife & I both play EU on a daily basis. EU society name - High Counsel.

So far what I have read in this thread has a few and I mean few valid reasons for people to assume that EU sucks as for the rest of your posts it clearly shows me that your intelligence levels are clearly not up to understanding such a complex game.

Nevertheless, be it what it is weather you wish to see as gambling, business or simply a game...there it is and you if at all a responsible adult could possible make the difficult choice of playing it or NOT....

If by ANY chance you wish for more reality then turn your PC OFF and go outside and PLAY....the world is full of interesting people and concepts ...its such a shame that so many people have the "tall poppy syndrome" I'll explain that to you all. One person makes it then all of a sudden you decide to destroy that person or persons because you failed.. once again you failed.

As far a games is concerned, it provides entertainment and like all entertainment it does actually cost money, as a business I am sure many have chosen to make it just that and they as entrepreneurs can only make such comments based on their own analysis...an as far as gambling...well life can also take you there.

Lets go one step back.....you could waste your time writing about negative things or go and enroll in a spelling course....your comments SUCK  there is no E in it. Your feeble reasons stated such as, avatar is slow running, gui to difficult and confusing. If you had half a brain you would ASK players in world for help.

Oh but I must remember that everyone who posted reasons here have been in EU for many years or months and that they all understand it flawlessly. Just because you all failed in EU does not mean that is sucks at all. If you all find EU way to intimidating and difficult please go back to playing donkey kong at any time. The bottom line is if you don't like it leave.. EU is far better off without people like you anyway.
