On The Pulse

Early Reports from Rocktropia Banana Hunters indicated that the ZOMBIES may have actually been eating some of the Rotten Bananas due to Meaty Maggots in the decaying fruit… But this is unlikely to be true, since everyone knows Zombies only Eat Avatars!

A More Rational explanation has been presented by  Max Uber Hoffer, who believes that the Zombies have not yet Found their way inside the Banana Factory as there are still a couple of workers in there holding the Zombies at bay… The Bananas appear to have come from a Delivery truck in the loading bay… Uber Hoffer Reckons that The Zombies are close to overwhelming the banana Factory workers however and that their could be a lot more Bananas to found in the coming weeks…

Save your Ammo Boys!!! Go Zombies!!! Die factory Workers!!!  Bananas Rule!!!!!

A rumor has spread across Entropia Universe of the discovery of rotten bananas found on Zombies on the Planet ROCKtropia!

It is suspected that the bananas originate from a Warehouse located  Somewhere in Zomhattan.

The Trade terminal Value per 100 bananas is 10 Cents US (1 ped) .  NEVERDIE is prepared to pay Double the trade Terminal Value of the bananas for the first  Million bananas collected. (20 PED per 1000 bananas)

“I need as many bananas as I can get my hands on as quickly as possible for a very important mission I am about to undertake, I would like to thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. This could be the start of something really Big, but I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up too high, it could also just be another wild goose chase… But I’m optimistic that there might be a great discovery down the road… That’s why I need the bananas, I can’t explain any thing more yet. Just get me the bananas, I’m not asking you to trust me, I know that’s too much to ask for, so I’ll pay for them… In-fact I’ll even throw in a Piece of Special Ops Armor (L)*  to anyone who can bring me 50,000 bananas at a time. Up to the first Million Bananas collected that is…  I’m Not entirely sure these Rotten Bananas will be useful or if one Million will be enough, so If anyone finds a good source of Ripe Bananas, please let me know.

Yours truly – NEVERDIE

NOTE* There is a limited supply of special Ops Armor available so the choice of part and gender will be on a first come first served basis.. A Maximum of 2 Armor parts may be collected per Avatar.

Bananas will be purchased by NEVERDIE or a representitive at CND Lagoon on Saturdays in quantities of not less than 10,000. Send a Private Message to NEVERDIE at ROCKtropia Forum to Notify if you have 10,000 bananas for sale.

This Offer will End on July 27th 2013. Unless it is Extended…. NEVERDIE Reserves the right to make changes to this offer or to change the rules Please Check ROCKtropia Forum for details.

We know its tough to find the Blueprints much needed to inspire local manufacturing on ROCKtropia. So we are offering a Special Reward for anyone who Discovers a New ROCKTROPIA Weapon BP, between April 18th and May 18th 2013..

A Piece of Limited Special OPs Armor… Only two per Avatar can be won.

Watch out! A Quest Bomb has been detonated and now there is a new way to earn cash in the whacky virtual world of ROCKtropia. If you fancy yourself a connoisseur of virtual reality and pop culture and think you can write with panache, then why not get paid for it?

ROCKtropia the wild and irreverent virtual world that you love to hate so much, the planet that brought you Motorhead’s beer garden where you can fight each other over kegs, the planet where you can go out with mining gear and dig up exotic cocktails, the planet where the streets are lined with Bootylicious Android Video Vixens who actually slap you and smack talk back when you are rude. Yes we are talking about the crazy planet that has Cyber Demons for you to crush in Hell and Forum Trolls you can exact revenge on and Zombies you can mash and Rock N Roll Dragons u can bash and Gang bangers you can slash and Rocktropia citizens who dance their virtual asses off so you can collect their sweat and make money for your honey.

Yes Rocktropia, the Planet where you can step inside a movie theater and find yourself butt naked in the Arctic on a Mission to Hunt The THING, the planet where the music never stops, where you can win electric guitars signed by Rock Stars, the planet where Vampires and Werewolves war eternally, where broomsticks and hover boards collide in mid air, the planet where the great battle between Good and Evil is waged and where the outcome may affect the future of mankind.

Yes that place called ROCKtropia is now ready for the critics!

So if you want to become a contributor to Quest Bomb Dot Com and review Missions and Quests and Dungeons and Blueprints and Hang Outs and other Peoples Writing styles and Rocktropia Machinima Videos etc, then Register at Questbomb.com, submit an example review in the following thread http://www.rocktropia.com/forum/t17764/then contact yours truly NEVERDIE at Rocktropia.com/forum and if you are approved we will get you up and running.

Ten years ago Entropia Universe, which was known at the time as Project-Entropia, bravely went Gold. Back in those days, Mark Zuckerberg was  tinkering with Facemash, World of Warcraft was still 22 Months away from Launch, Second life was still 5 months away from official launch and would not add currency until the end of 2003 and Gamers in general still embraced the idea of  paying subscription fees and had a big problem with Micro Transaction Economies.

Way ahead of the curve, Entropia Universe bravely stepped out with full blown MMO gameplay built around the brilliant concept of Real Cash virtual Goods harvesting, manufacturing and trading. A concept designed to Empower the Gamer by giving a real cash value to the time spent engaged in playing online.

Entropia was (still is) an important new frontier land, a Wild cyber West where heroes live and die by the gun (or their wits). Hundreds of thousands came from all over the globe seeking Virtual Fame and Fortune, The first decade saw glorious days, heroes names burst across the virtual night sky like shooting stars, great discoveries were made, priceless treasures traded for record breaking sums, Heroes came and left, some even died leaving traces of their lives in the Virtual Soil, many, many Quit when times were hard.

A few from the earliest days held fast to the virtual dream and have never let go, today their names Beloved or Notorious, resonate with the weight of the Historical first days of a new promised land. Many who joined after the first wave can claim their Avatars are older than their flesh and blood children.

Fortunes have been made and lives changed even during the infancy of Entropia Universe, the whole world has marveled at some of Entropia Universe’s record breaking landmarks, but the world has largely shied away from the hardship and challenges faced with exploiting the extraordinary opportunities of Entropia Universes Rich and Dazzling landscapes, preferring the relative comfort and safety of farming their time away on Facebook or Hacking and slashing their avatars into retirement and anonymity in World of Warcaft.

Despite the World, Despite changing technologies, despite the naivete of the press who clamor around Fads.. Entropia has Survived, evolved and expanded like a Good Universe is expected to do, as its DNA prescribes. Despite everything, Entropia Universe has against all odds reached a very important milestone and the heart of the Universe beats with the Loud banging Dreams of Virtual pioneers from around the world, many of whom have logged thousands upon thousand of hours laboring and striving for greatness, may of whom have tasted the sweet fruit of their labor. many of whom continue to create the virtual human infrastructure that holds the Universe together, that sustains it through its darkest hours and growing pains.

if You were to look at the evolution of Entropia Universe with a time lapse camera then you could see that there is a momentum behind it, that the events of tomorrow were already set in motion yesterday, you would see that it will continue to grow and evolve, The blood of the Universe is oxygenated with Human Dreams and it is capable of Magic, it has a power of it’s own, that is greater than its individual creators, it has the power to inspire, touch, choose and nurture future heroes who may becomes the champions of the future.

It has the power to bring people together in what may appear at first chance meetings, but what will sometime in the future feel like fateful meetings. Some soothsayer types would like to believe it may even have the power to Save the World, to save Humanity.

Planet ROCKtropia which will later this Year announce a New Magnificently Exciting, Major Virtual Movie Adventure in partnership with Universal Studios, would like to mark the Start of the 10th Anniversary of Entropia Universe with a Firework Display of Global messages from its pop culture loving pioneers.  The Display of Global Fireworks shall start on Feb 7th and end at midnight on February 10th-

Prizes for the highest single loot globals/HoFs will be awarded in the Hunting Mining and Crafting professions to Solo Players (No teams) Only the top 3 Highest loots in each category will be considered for the top 10. The 10 Entry into the top 10 will come from a Highest single loot Zombie Apocalypse Hunting event to take place in Zomhattan. Be Aware only 99 tickets will be available for this event, So be sure to register Early..

In addition to the TOP 10 Global HoFs Event a special 10th Anniversary item may possibly be found on the  following mobs:

Werewolf Warriors, Zombie Bikers, Street Kings, Crunk Shark tooth Assasin’s, Code Demons, White Wolfs, Motorhead Royalty and Young Pop Dragons
