As I expected - a "update" did not bring us online. But now, developers have lost money since it makes no sense to buy ice. We are waiting for the release of new robots and see what is important for the players: new content for veterans or free EP for beginners...

It is a pity that this update will be released in a year or two. By the time the online again will fall to 3 people... sad

PS. Why is gamma EP only 1x?  Shouldn't it be at least 2x like beta?

Gamma is considered safer than beta.

Zoom, its ur game, but u you're wrong. Why? Because you do not play the game.

Basically the main drive behind this change was:
1. You shouldn't be turned away from the game because you have to wait for EP to be competitive, while you can't do anything about it.
2. If you are playing to get EP, that means you are playing, and that's what we wanted.

EP gaining TOO fast.

stop your damn *** at least they are finally trying something to get players back....

To get players back need new content. noobs /= old players. Old players = online. Noobs /= online. We saw this 3 times... Its not help.

arent you supposed to get diminishing returns after a certain amount of EP.  Even if noobs get 3M+ EP in a month let them be man.  After a certain amount of EP i'd say around 1.75M, EP becomes less of a factor on winning.  Massive amounts of EP will allow for players to be able to specialize in multiple rolls, which will be funner/better for the community.  More rolls=more bots more diversity.  It's still Seths online, but atleast people can play other things if they choose.  Let whatever they did playout don't just jump on the quarterback after the first play.  (Here's my jab) Also, by community i meant a community of one.

Current patch ~= unlimited EP. Just give all accounts unlimited EP and go pewpew. Another great stupid patch... Another epic fail...

Please do a n emergency hotfix for the EP patch now, not this evening, not monday. You get  by far too much EP, 125.000 EP in less than 12h is the highest number Ive heard, but I see smaller numbers that were still factors higher than it should

Zoom, use this hint http://forums.perpetuum-online.com/topi … -too-much/

1) Current EP reward only for accounts with booster active

+999999 Zoom must have unlimited beer.

It makes no sense to buy boosters. Zoom, now you do not have anything to buy beer.
First you need to add at least the paint for the PC. At least...

Zoom... we play 5-6 years, early we pay 10$ every month... Personally me, i have 3,5 mil EP.
If every noob run afk-miner-bot, they get 3.5mil EP in 29 days...
You kill this game with this patch...

No content, but all server will have max skills... no words...

EP extension... lol:lol::lol::lol::lol:

What? 1-10 EP per NPC? I can kill every day 1000+npc...

It was last patch for perpetuum... last chance... 6.9 now.

Give us a pink ictus and the ability to paint robots for PC. 50% of the old players back. What you are doing now - is to no avail.

At this point re-doing the game engine for better graphics (the least important aspect) would be a better and more productive idea then giving more EP to people who don't want to play your game for more then 1,59 hours in the first place.

There's 5 people posting there, and out of those 5 theres only 1 who actually plays the game anymore.

+100500, but Zoom he does not care about this...

What's next after the EP upgrade?

Probably Syndicate robots.

Make syndicate robots now and you will not have to enter this stupid patch to attract players.
