Frescoquda DNA Incomplete
Posted by Deathifier on 2008-7-10 at 1:36AM
I have now secured some of each unique part required to assemble the Frescoquda DNA. Unfortunately I have insufficient quantities of them to complete it.
Therefore if you have found, or know someone who has found:
Back Scales
Tentacles
Foot
Please let me know as I would like to buy them in order to complete the creature and get it spawning in a convenient location on the island for all to Enjoy :)

Exarosaur Removal from Globster area
Posted by Deathifier on 2008-7-10 at 1:27AM
Exarosaurs are currently being removed from the Globster area to restore the pure spawn. The removal should be complete in about 5 days.
I have secured enough DNA samples to put the exo's somewhere else later, although I doubt that they are at risk of mass extiction :)
Enjoy,

Signposts deployed to the island
Posted by Deathifier on 2008-7-10 at 1:23AM
After more than a year of discussion, and months of planning, 6 signposts have finally been deployed around the major acitivity points on the island.
And one of them wound up in the wrong spot...
The signposts will contain maps (when the participant content system is working again), news, messages and other information related to the island. They are there to enhance visitor awareness of what is going on, not to spam you with non-stop ads :)
Feedback on signpost usage is welcome, and no, they are not for sale.

Repesilex reduced to Alpha maturity in OLA-36
Posted by Deathifier on 2008-3-1 at 12:50AM
Due to concerns about the high maturity Repesilex being too easy to global on in WoF I have reduced their maturity to around the Alpha level.
This should reduce (probably dramatically) the number of globals they produce and thus make it harder to score their bonus points in WoF.
Once the WoF round finishes they will be restored to Stalker level :)

Repesilex Stalkers Added to OLA-35
Posted by Deathifier on 2008-2-25 at 6:58AM
After a quiet period I have decided to bring back the Repesilex on OLA-35.
Instead of the weak, hard to spot, small young's I have spawned the stronger yet just as hard to spot Stalkers!
OLA-35 is the area directly south of Solfais Crater in the far West of Amethera. The spawn is a bit below average as there is only one DNA in the system.
The center of the area is approximately 4544, 26889.
Some stats about these larger rock-like mobs are:
Stalker Health: 800
Stalker Damage: Maximum of ~90 (probably 100% electric)
Prowler Health: 600
Prowler Damage: Around 50-60 max (not as extensively tested).
Old Alpha Health: 330
Old Alpha Damage: Less than 40 (even less extensively tested).
Some of the more interesting items I looted from them in a trial hunt included Dark Blue Paint, Paladin Shin Guards, and Basic Cloth Extractors.
Enjoy,

Foul Guardians roaming around the northern area
Posted by Deathifier on 2008-1-5 at 1:19AM
As a combined Christmas and New Years present I have been able to complete and install a second Foul DNA sample in the Northern Area.
This has resulte in a dramatic improvement in density and allowed an increase in maturity.
At present the maturity is set in the middle and spawns a mostly Gatherer and Guardian combination with the occasional Scout and Scavenger also hanging around.
These Foul are, like all Foul, reasonably agressive, speedy and like hiding amongst the tall grasses and low hills of the northern region. Whilst they hit reasonably hard (sometimes up to 50+ damage) they are quite fragile creatures and thus are reasonably easy to bring down.
Enjoy!

OLA-35 Repaired
Posted by Deathifier on 2007-6-6 at 4:41AM
Outback Land Area #35 was repaired with the introduction of VU 8.12 and Cornundos Stalkers are roaming around once more.

OLA-35 Temporarily Offline
Posted by Deathifier on 2007-5-6 at 10:38AM
I recently discovered that MindArk has buried part of the fertilizer station on Outback Land Area #35 (OLA-35) which I own and which Cornundos Stalkers are normally happily roaming around.
Unfortunately MindArk buried the wrong half and I am now prevented from replenishing the station with fertilizer, which has resulted in the poor Cornundos not getting any food since their supplies ran out.
MindArk has yet to respond to the support case raised about the problem 6 days ago and it is thus not known when the problem will be resolved so that the land area can be restored to a functional state.
Note that the starving Cornundos maybe slightly more erratic in their behaviour, and may be seen in lower numbers and at lower maturities until their food supply can be restored. Hunters and miners alike are asked to take care and report any unusual behaviour :)

Aye Aye Captain - Skipper Estate #01 on Sale!
Posted by Deathifier on 2007-1-3 at 7:04AM
Sail into the New Year as the owner of a Treasure Island Skipper estate!
Final Price: 20k PED by Stefan.
Note that if there is activity in the last couple of hours the process will continue in private with the top 3 distinct bidders - this is to avoid "auction sniping."
Located on the North Shore of Treasure Island the skipper estates are the latest properties to be built as part of the islands development process.
Each Skipper estate features several rooms spread over two levels, a large item capacity (350 points) and room for 100 guests plus your own balcony providing great views of the nearby river and the islands interior.
Only three of these estates have been built and no more are planned for the island.
You now have the opportunity to own one of these very distinctive estates because...
Skipper Estate #01, visible from the TI North teleporter, is now on sale.
Offers start at 10k PED and the person with the highest accepted offer on the 12th January, 2007 will become the first owner of a Skipper Estate!
You may make an offer either via the contact form on this site or in these posts on Entropia Pioneers or EntropiaForum.
For those that can't wait (or are simply curious) there is a buyout value of 40k PED which, if accepted, ends the sale process immediately.
Updates will be posted here every two days for the duration of the sale and no, the estates do not float :)
Enjoy,
Deathifier
OLA-32 Sold to Gen
Posted by Deathifier on 2006-12-31 at 10:42PM
Recently I sold Outback Land Area 32, the location of the "Foul Slayer" competition, to Genesis Gen Yang. Gen has been busy setting the place up and has recently launched a Mining Competition as the first of hopefully many fun events on the area.
Gen has also setup his own forums which include an area for discussing developments on his new area.
Enjoy,

Virtual Worlds on the 7:30 report
Posted by Deathifier on 2006-12-29 at 6:53AM
Earlier tonight the 7:30 report on the ABC (Australia) ran a segment on Virtual Worlds. Parts of this segment included an interview with myself, talking about Entropia and Treasure Island.
Whilst the show has already aired you can still see the summary at the 7:30 report homepage and I am looking at getting permission to show a recording for those that missed it or the international people that could not watch it :)

Ukash - A convenient deposit method for Europeans
Posted by Deathifier on 2006-10-27 at 10:47AM
If you live in the UK, Ireland, Spain or Germany and are looking for a more convenient method of depositing into Entropia then you should consider Ukash - a payment method where you get Ukash from a local shop or online (Germany only). You can then spend it in exchange for PED within Entropia.
Where can you get Ukash?
- UK - Get Ukash at most shops where you see the PayPoint, payzone and e-pay signs.
Visit the UK search page to find a shop near to you. - Ireland - get Ukash at your local shop where you see the payzone sign.
Visit the Irish search page to find a shop near to you. - Spain - Get Ukash at Telecor shops, points of sale inside post offices and Opencor stores.
Visit the Spanish search page to find a shop near to you. - Germany - get Ukash online or got to your local shop.
Visit the German search page to find a shop near to you OR
Visit the German web store to get Ukash online.
Once you have some Ukash you exchange it for PED in the Deposit section on the Entropia Website. Once deposited the PED is immediately available on your card.
Since Ukash seems fairly easy to obtain it looks to be a good alternative to using your credit card (particularly if you don't have one) or other deposit methods. Simply grab some from your local store (use the store finder in step 1 of the Ukash Entropia page) when you're out shopping or travelling and deposit it when you get home.
As a bonus Ukash is running a promotion in October and November whereby your first purchase of 5 Euro or more will receive a couple of bonuses - one M2100 (fully repaired) and 2 PED of ammo.
Newer players wanting to go hunting will find these bonuses useful whilst older and more established players will find the extra few PED handy :)
If you don't happen to live in those countries the good news is that Ukash is planning to expand further across Europe and hopefully one day we will find them in the US and Australia too!
