• • Comment box stealing focus?

  • Every time I go to a user image or a blog, the page aligns itself so the Comment box has one line on the screen and a flashing cursor.

    This often means the blog text or image I went there to see is off the top of the screen, especially if there are a lot of comments or thumbnails.

    Shouldn't the page load with the focus on the picture or the beginning of the blog text?

    It used to work that way.

    Did I do something?

    Looks like you said "News Articles", not "Features".

     

    Try actually saying what you mean and you'd have fewer problems...

     Technically speaking, it's F2P.  You don't buy the client.  You don't pay any subscription.  The ingame currency, however, costs you money.  One PED, Project Entropia Dollar, is worth 1 cent USD.  100 PED is a dollar, 1,000 PED is ten bucks, et cetera.

    You can't really make any money in this game though unless you buy land or are a real high end crafter which takes an investment of thousands of real dollars.  There are people who have invested $30,000+ in this game.

    The basic rule of thumb for this scam is that you pay a dollar an hour because you have to buy ammunition from system vendors (like bullets and power cells for guns, bombs for mining.  Those are the only things you can do really when you start).

    Basically, even if you dropped fiteen bucks PED, like you would for client, and then paid up fifteen bucks a month after that you would not be able to sustain yourself.

     

    Bingo! I "invested" $20 in this "game"  a few years ago, about when it started, and blew it all on armor and ammo, and whatever drops I got never was enough to keep me supplied with ammo even. What I saw of it was neat, but it was a money losing situation. If it had been sub. based, I would have played longer.

    Did anyone even find the $1M ( or whatever it was )  gem they said was hidden someplace?

    LoL, I just found an e-mail from 10/14/2002 Subject: Project Entropia Server Stress Test

    DOH!

    LOL, I guess I've deleted the e-mails I used to get every 6 months telling me how long it's been since I played and that my account would be closed! I got those for about 2 years! LOL

    Every MMORPG that has PVP has a post like this. They also usually have unhelpful suggestions like: 

    "Just pay attention"

    "Just equip <super rare item>/<items you can't afford>"

    They usually act like they were the only ones to figure this out, or that it is super obvious and they don't know what the problem is.

    And even more interesting, if this wasn't the PoTS forum I would think I was reading an EvE Online post...
