AFAIK Cyrene is still in beta, which means use at your own risk, things are likely to change without warning.

Thanks! Had me worried there for a while:)

Will there be changes in missions? In particular the Epic mission chains many of us have put a lot of effort into... will those remain active, or are they being scrapped?

I hope we'll still be able to find the mobs to complete our missions chains...

And since nobody posted it here yet on the forum... http://www.entropiauniverse.com/bulletin/buzz/2014/09/24/Re-introducing-Taming.xml Sounds like Taming will be in this update. So... what's the Cyrene mob that will start off taming? I'm thinking Dire Weeds.

The way I evision it: you specify the items you want to buy, max quantities for each, and fill the NPC up with peds. A fee would be assessed in the same way as the ordinary shopkeeper: each sale has an additional fee tacked on at the moment of sale, but unlike auction the fee can go down to 1...

We could define a healthy economy as a situation where all players are able to do their desired activities easily and for a reasonable cost. There's no single element that will produce a "good" economy; there are many elements in the chain or cycle through which peds flow. Shops in the hands of...

I believe they said stables will be after taming is introduced, so if they're still sticking to that plan it means no stables this next VU, at least not functioning ones.

I expect those were made before MA started restricting them. Monria though got shops from day 1.

I do know that shops tend to be problematic and have a lot of bugs. Other than that, MA is very strict on how many can be released and I wouldn't be surprised if Cyrene doesn't have enough population yet for MA to give the green light on releasing them. Also, you have to keep in mind what shops...

Surveyor rewards are important because the surveyor profession skills up a lot slower due to the fact that you use less probes, so it always lags behind.

Thanks, I will keep going then... don't want to restart since I'm a decent way in.

I don't see a counter on the main mission page either. I'm slogging through the epic chains and a little nervous that my kills aren't being counted... any way I can confirm that the current missions are actually registering kills? I don't want to kill the right amount only to find out that I...

As a part time crafter, I would disagree and say that adding more layers to crafting, IMO, would be a bad move especially for a new planet. It increases costs, time and effort to produce a single item, and creates bottlenecks meaning that it's likely you won't be able to craft the item you're...

If you find yourself getting warned my MA for logging out of the game (!!), the easy way to avoid any ban is to become a pirate and start using a speed hack or other exploits. Then you will be immune from any discipline by MA, free to exploit, make multiple avatars, and all the other things that...
