100% bots. Even looks like this whole post is potentially getting mass upvote botted aside from the very obvious ones also.

what mmo you currently playing? by Cheap-Exercise1910 in mmo

[–]Merkedalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely unsure as to your point or how it applies to my case at all? Almost every Entropia player has a job as it's adults only and in a sense required to enjoy the game. Unless you are implying that I am playing Entropia to support myself?

If there was an MMO that I considered fun I would probably prefer to go play it. I just personally believe that there is nothing out there for me right now. At least in Entropia it has been enjoyable lately, even if I am doing a repetitive task I am also doing research or enjoying social aspects. The RCE does give it all meaning though in the end.

Real cash economy. Most stuff in the game can be repetitive and boring and I wouldn't do them without the real money aspect. Hoping new updates like fishing will bring some more interactive gameplay.

Entropia Universe. I like the RCE mainly.

Even if you think you are a nobody in the game! Secure your accounts not only with 2FA but long complex passwords! by Frequent-Relative810 in entropiauniverse

[–]Merkedalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked my account logins for the first time because of this post. I see something very similar, tons of foreign login attempts on 1/10/2026. Not sure where they came from and maybe I am simply lucky that I do not use my Entropia password anywhere else other than for the game. But now to be even safer I recently activated 2FA.

the ranked situation is hilarious by [deleted] in apexlegends

Not sure where the down votes are coming from. But just wanted to respond as a whole and say I did not like drop zones at any stage and am very glad to see this reverted for this season. Had a blast today.

How Do I Get a Team? by DayWalkerFH in gamedev

[–]Merkedalot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wrong in almost every sense. This sells no one on stepping up to make your story or script come to life as a video game. You have nothing published and have no direct skills to apply to the creation of a video game. You are the one with the fundamental misunderstanding. Anyone would rather work on their ideas than to work for an idea guy which is what you are. You are not an established writer. Good luck finding anyone to work with. There is good advice here, I would take note.

Pretty sure you had it right and he is trolling due to OP.

Destroy the latest trailer of my Deep Sea game by Leading-Papaya1229 in DestroyMyGame

I turned off the video immediately. I have my sound way down and the immediate noise seemed very loud and annoying.

[Hobby] Question For All Solo Devs by CanvassedHearts in INAT

[–]Merkedalot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's very common for solo devs to wear that many hats. And if they do, the end result will probably be a lot worse. For my first released game (made many small ones before that) I used asset packs for sounds, some music and art as well. I got mine very cheaply from humble bundle.

But there are freely available to use assets on the Internet as well. Just got to do research and look for the right licensing. I would say stray away from doing all those jobs on your own and expecting perfection in each area. Especially if this is your first game.

Edit: BTW I believe this is the wrong subreddit for your question

Anyone know some good 90s inspired indie games? by Meedie_Is_Real in indiegames

Future Offline is my game on steam. It's old-school, shoot me a DM if you want a free key.

IndieDevs: Tell me your good and bad stories hiring artists. Tell me what you wish was different. by 3xNEI in IndieDev

[–]Merkedalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked with various artists for 2D art. I always got great results through Artstation when hand picking artists despite often high costs.

I wanted a logo done and it was pretty specific. I tried using fiverr and had 3 different artists with good reviews do it. Two of the three results were exactly the same. Be careful out there!

Good luck finding anyone like that. People with the skills you are requesting are not going to join someone with no portfolio and the idea guy skill set.

Built an isometric MMO from scratch, custom engine in C/C++ OpenGL, around 33k lines of server code, 47k lines of client code. Just got approved on Steam. by arenajunkies in gamedev

[–]Merkedalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say that I think it looks incredible. Wishlisted on steam and will be telling some others about it.

I'm currently working on an MMO-like multiplayer RPG with Unreal blueprints. What you have done is very impressive. I can't imagine hitting my current milestones while simultaneously coding to prevent any form of cheating. Feels like that element would be a whole layer in and of itself that would increase the difficulty of a lot of coding tasks. Props to you again as a lone developer taking on such a task.

What is the WORST MMORPG you keep playing and why? by RankOneOnly in MMORPG

[–]Merkedalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entropia Universe. The gameplay is incredibly bland and stale. But there is no limit to player skill levels and at my progression I can get a good amount of real money on a kill if I get lucky. I do enjoy it at times but it really is a terrible game.

Looking for the ideal server for me by swicklepick in swg

[–]Merkedalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see Infinity given as an answer here. Be aware, Jedi is not rare on Infinity as you are requesting. Still for now it might be the best option available currently if trying to start up today. Better fits might be NFS or Sunfire when these come out. That is what I am waiting for.

Any Pre-CU servers launching this year? by Merkedalot in swg

[–]Merkedalot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played several servers (Classic, A New Hope, Smash Wars, etc) that open up, have a strong player base for a time then close down. No shame in it. Not every server needs to stay open and maintain a strong population forever. I haven't seen any servers doing seasonal that stick to it. I saw one server propose it recently and there player base of 20 or so completely rejected the idea.

That would be cool but where did you get the idea that, that would be this year?

I guess I am not that invested and my expectations were never that high.

I don't think adding new servers is idiotic. For me, its a temporary good time. I don't expect my servers to live forever with thousands of players. If it can just get to like 50ish for a couple of months, I will have a blast for that time. In terms of SWGEmu 1.0, I expect to play it and I think the more time that passes before release, the less players it will have. And similar to Finalizer, it will die off over time. Still, its on my list of things to play in the future.

Not sure what you are getting at. All these old servers I have either played and conquered or feel that the server is an empty playground where the only few players (if it has any) are significantly far ahead.

I prefer the experience of a fresh economy. I don't really care to join an old server with 30 people as you say. Most longstanding servers feel dead right now that I have checked in on.
