Roman numerals
2007-08-26 11:44:00 If you play Entropia Universe (formerly Project Entropia), you're probably aware that mining depositsizes have two distinctive identifiers. The first being the name of the claimsize (i.e. tiny, very poor, poor, all the way to Immense). However, those terms do not clearly indicate which of the two is larger.In the case of very poor vs. poor, it's obvious, but is Significant bigger or smaller than Substantial? In order to avoid that kind of confusion, MindArk also decided to give claims a Roman numeral indication.I order to have the database reflect these numerals, I decided to create a function that will translate our number system into Roman numerals. It works surprisingly easy, actually. The function takes an input parameter, which is the number to be translated.It then determines the regular numbers, the tens, the hundreds, and the thousands, and translates those into their Roman counterparts using a case statement. When it encounters a 4 or a 9 (which, obviously, are the specia...

Get Paid for Playing Online Games - Entropia Universe
2007-04-18 15:04:00 I will start by posting this news from October 2006:?On 10 October 2006, it was reported that Mike Everest, a home-schooled high school senior from Durango, Colorado had paid for his siblings' college fees by trading virtual goods within Entropia Universe, and withdrawing his profits as real US Dollars. Everest, better-known as "Ogulak Da Basher" on the planet Calypso, claims to have made over $35,000 USD. Of that profit, $12,000 was used to help his two siblings attend college. When asked if he suggested this to other high schoolers looking to make money, he said, "Not really, unless they can be devoted to it. It's really hard in the beginning to play the game." Everest spends an average of three hours a day on Entropia.?As you see, it is possible to make money this way. The catch is that not only you have to really devote yourself to it, but you also have to be in the right place, in the right time and be willing to deposit some money into the game. One of the ways to earn money... |
