almost 3 years now review

Dear followers,

Yes, it's almost 3 years now. Been busy in Entropia with a break from oktober 2010 till oktober 2011 as in a non depo period. I did loggin occasionaly, both to say hi to friends as in keeping my account alive. After oktober 2011 I picked up again, mainly cause Saradu made an account and it was refereshing to wander around in Entropia with her.

In november it will be Saradu's first "rezz" day.....well done! She has almost finished her discipleship :))

As for me....I needed a little break. Lately I wasn't enjoying the Entropia experience as I did before. And when the fun goes it's time to reconsider your playing style, especially in Entropia as it can get quite expensive, even if you're not focussing on skilling. But I look back at a great year....I'm more skilled then I anticipated a year ago. Using the field heal chip is really fun to do. Here some highlights of last year (in random order):

* getting virtually married on Cyrene at the Waterfall perimeter TP with Saradu Hawklord
* becoming a virtual DJ, first with Normandie Radio, later with Atlas Haven Radio
* getting a Quad and traveling space
* release of planet Cyrene
* visiting the Control Room with Oberon Nightseer at Caly space station
* visiting the new Gateway
* doing a warp flight and a repair job on the Normandie MS with Bonnie and JBK
* getting stuck in space and being rescued by our hero Neil Stockton
* looting 2 unL Ark rifles in 1 hunt
* aquiring a Foxtrot Marber Mentor Edition, an excellent tagger: range 160 m (and ammo eater too lol)
* making lots of new friends and refereshing old ones like *rondo rondo bondo*
* doing the *The Thing* mission on Rocktropia with Saradu
* last TP run as security with Stave Petty / Entropia Tour Agency @ Arkadia's first anniversary
* 2 HoFs: 1 team HoF on Next Island (with Jagger), 1 solo HoF on Calypso....and many many globals
* creating the *Entropia Universe* facebook group which has reached 440 members now, handed over ownership of the group to Saradu
* creating Entropia Universe blog which reached 1000 page views allready
* earning the title *Riptor Meister* (thx Anaitis Alexa Maelstrom XD)
* making *bubbles* with ingame screenies (thx MS9 and masterchief)

Not everything went smooth, Normandie Radio and me did not part in the best way and some in the universe still nag me about that and in a very childish way. I decided to do my show on a different planet last time cause of this. That was after a month of annoying and talking trash to me in main chat. You will reap what you sow dude, one day. Enough about this. What is also sad is that I decided to leave Calypso Desert Rangers society as it was pretty much dead...or at least very dormant. My experiences with CDR have been great and I feel very privilged to have been a part of that particulair society. And as Zuta once said...once a Ranger, always a Ranger.

I will continue my adventures in Entropia Universe.....but maybe not as often as I used too. RL has become more interesting lately as Saradu and me traded EU for RL....and nothing can beat that.

Cheers, Roni

A day with the Riptors

These guys are like the Atrox, maybe a little more fast and pushy. Not Eco for me really at the moment but at times I need to do something a little more adventurous.  Roni and I may team up and try the higher leveled Riptors.

fooling around in Terrulion armor

Saradu and me in full Terrulion armor (we actually like the armor as it has decent protection and is unL). Here a screenie with our Skildek Lancehead (Saradu) and P 40 (Roni) grenade launcher at some remote digsite on Arkadia


Mako 1 Lightning

Looted this nice baby on 16-10-2012: the Mako 1 Lightning...not skilled enough so got the blade on auction.....so far I like hunting riptors...they are closest to Trox on Caly what I could find on Arkadia

on a roll with Bela





show off time

As you all know the Cryengine2 is a beast. Lately I upgraded my system and build a new one for Saradu. I can tell you a decent graphics card makes a hell of a difference. I used to have 2 Ati 4850 in crossfire setting. Good performance but always a flickering of trees and distant objects in the background. Which I didn't notice anymore after a couple of weeks. Switched back to nVidea and enjoying the full beauty Entropia has to offer. FYI...the Cryengine does favor nVidea as it uses the power of the GPU archtitecture.

Long story short...Saradu and me run Entropia on high to very high settings and smooth sailing.

Saradu's system:
Intel motherboard 75 k series, unleashed
Intel Pentium i7 k,  @ 3.5 Ghz...not OCed
32 Gb RAM Kingston @ 1600 Mhz
Asus GTX 660 graphics card 2Gb factory OCed
Intel SSD 120 Gb 520 series (programs)
WD 1 Tb HD Velociraptor @ 10.5 k rpm (data storage)
Creative Xfi gamer sound card
Antec modular PSU 850 W
Antec 1200 V3 case
IIlyama 24" monitor @ 2ms response time
Logitech G19 gamer keyboard
Logitech wireless mouse
Logitech HD camera
Logitech headset HD

Roni's system:
Asus gamers P5K motherboard
Intel Q6600 running @ 3.0 Ghz OCed with Extreme Freezer non stock cooler
4 Gb RAM
Asus GTX graphics card, 2 Gb factory OCed
Maxtor 500 Gb HD @ 7200 rpm
Creative Audigy OEM soundcard
Antec 750 W PSU
some crappy case
LG 22" monitor @ 5 ms response time
Logitech G19 gamer keyboard
Logitech wireless trackball mouse
Logitech RightLight camera
Logitech headset

Cheers, Roni

Pics when I build saradu's new system:

assembled motherbord with i7 and RAM

unpacked the case and PSU

inserting the PSU in the case



first parts in case

everything build in and wires routed via backpanel

maybe connecting DVD writer for optimum performance (installing windows)

Installing Windows7 UK version
