I've been playing since around July of 2006.  I've invested a bit of money.  Notice how I say invested.  I don't expect to make
money playing in EU.  Theres is always the possibility of doing so, takes a bit of marketing and some luck.   Right now I can
recoup about 70 % of what I've put in the game from the value of the items I've purchased (housing, decorations, armor, weapons) and
the skills I have (purchased/chipped, acquired).  For me, that's ok.  EU is a form of entertainment and for the money and time put in, is a good value to me.  Like anything else, play within your means and have fun!

 I played - but to be quite honest this is not a mmorpg. Success is based on $$$$$$ - nothing else.

No skill required just a credit card and an idiot to use it. Overpriced , overhyped, repetative, massively bugged , rubberbanding, Lag, ...............................

Also taken that with recent skill changes it would take 10 years to max out a weapon, or many many USD.

A big casino in disguise with low odds - very little gameplay - play something else...

You don't understand how the "game" works, do you?

MA have nerfed the skills but are introducing weapons that you can max at lower levels.

The whole "game" is made of balances.

If you don't have the patience to face a challenge that will keep you entertained for a long time (aka years)? Then this game is not for you.

Also, don't be envious about those who have big $$$ and skipped all the fun just to reach the top.

 I did give the game a very good chance, I played for over a year so I do speak from experience. To be totally honest the only thing that kept me there for so long was the community which is the biggest plus to the game. Everything else is as I posted not with venom but from experience.

 Also the recent skill changes have made the game totally unplayable for 95% of the community - it simply has become to expensive / skill gain to consider it worth it. I suggest you check your own forum, the following link.

"I drank what?" - Plato

I only played for a very short time and my main problem was Lag, it was overwhelming when you approached more than one other person. I was stunned, because I have a very fast connection, which means it was server side Lag.

I see Dobbins point about money. It might be "free to play", but when you start you have NOTHING. Not even a weapon or basic tools. I love crafting in games, so that was very disappointing to me.

So after a few days of rubberbanding, being frozen when someone gets near me and mucking around with the only free tool "Sweat collecting" , I gave up. That's a hard thing for me to do, I try to give everything a good chance or two.

Oh and uh, most people don't like to play things that are hard to play.

Lag has been a problem indeed. My connection is crappy but the lag seem to be depending on what u got in ur machine.


As to the one who still plays PE/EU and here calls him self Dobbin ;) . Lol u cant be angry at a game. Things change ingame thats true but most ppl adapt. Other ones quit or more often takes a brake. Some take out their frustration on forums it seems... Silly silly and disrespectfull.

And belive me it has nothing to do with me being a fanboy or a cant see the negative sides of EU. Wich i can and i have posted about it as well. Most posts who dislike the concept of EU is acctually good. Zorvans post under the topic "SO hows this game" is funny and expressing his wiew. He prolly think Im crazy who play PE/EU with passion and yes I might be. Its a risk involved. Future will tell if it was worth it.

Any idiot can critizise but few idiots can critizise well or with style

 I don't play, I did but no longer do - however I do keep an eye on a number of mmorpg type games. By the way it's kind of sad that you need to do things like this....

Let's make one thing clear for ppl who never tested EU ,ok?

So MA nerfed the skill gain in order to what? To balance the game?  (as you think) Ok let's suppose it is true so they introduced the L weapons (who you can only use for limited time untill decay then you can throw them ) limited shit weapons !!! As a noob you can't craft these weapon because you lack of skills so you have to pay markup which means tou pay thier real value + a % to the one who craft them. Great , now don't forget that MA also nerfed the amplifiers for weapons so they introduced also L amplifiers. Now you have to pay + % for amplifiers too. How great it is for a noob to start this jurney !

Now, let's suppose you can survive in EU with a deposit of 50 $ a month (just an example) you will do just fine for some months bt it come the time when you are sick'n'tired of the same mob you hunt now. You will want to hunt other mobs too but for this you will have to upgrade your armor and weapons which will cost you more in terms of decay and amo, not to mention that you maybe consider buying platning for your armor. So my friend , you will have to increase your limit of 50 $ and after one year playing you will deposit at least 3-4 times more than what you started. And not to mention that with every VU, MA will nerf something just to "balance" the game.

And i don't care if there are rich ppl in this game , I wanted to have fun which for a while i had but MA had other plans and they ruined not only my fun but many ppl's fun . Ppl who were playing longer than I did and this is not about addapting because we deposit real money in EU so we expect that MA give us something in return , to improve the game feeling not to nerf the skill gain, weapons, amps , mobs AI , SK (shopkeepers) and ESI (chips for skill transfer).

have a nice time in EU

Not sure what u mean by this? I dont think its sad. I think its a fun initiative. The community decided to work together and vote for Eu on hmm forgot name of first one. Went quite well and it was fun. This page is also mentioned under in the start thread and it was how I found this place as well thats correct. If u wonder what my rate on EU at this page was I will tell u . I wouldnt lie about a game to make other ppl think better about it.

My ratings of EU, and this is my honest opinion. Nothing Im ashamed of. If I was here to lie about the game I would have voted all tens but that I cant. Support u know^^. Its probably good for this page to get more ppl here and just because we like to play EU we are not idiots.
