Wow…you developed this program? Very cool…

[TimUnleashed]

711, this is a fantastic effort. Really, gratz!

Now I can actually contact people in EU without having to be in EU, in a way that might actually work! Brilliant! I agree with Ido that this should have been done years ago by MA.

@711

The client itself is a Java application, so yes, it can run on a Mac. However, I assumed that the vast majority of our userbase uses windows (since PE does not run on other OS), so I do not have the required Java installer package license to build Mac or Linux distributions, unfortunately.

However, if you go to http://www.Jabber.org there are quite a few nice Jabber clients for a huge variety of operating systems, including Mac.

711…if its pure Java, why not give us a Java Webstart version instead of distributing an installer thats solely Windoze oriented…that way you can tout your cross platform ability much more.

That, or give us access to a jar file directly?

@Centech

Seriously.. are you all on crack? Everyone is so excited and gratzing 711 like he just invented instant messaging. AIM, MSN, xfire, yahoo messenger, icq, skype, etc. etc. etc… Are these really all insufficient for your IMing needs? Lay off the freaking kool aid people.

@Centech

What I am bitching about is the general mindless fanboism of a large sector of the EF population.

I dont need an EU myspace or facebook.. hell I dont need the real one. I don’t need an EU IM. Whats next, EU email? EU-Amazon.com? Give me a break.

@Centech

Don’t give me that fucking bullshit. You are the one being insensitive and stereotyping 300 million people.

I am quite sure that everything I mentioned is available in Poland as well as the rest of the world.

Let me help you out : http://www.aol.pl/pomoc/downloadaim.jhtml?icid=menu_aim

[COLOR=“Purple”]D-Low said it best in his post … but just for the record … if you don’t like this new feature, then don’t damn use it, but to exhibit your crass behavior as you usually do at this forum just continues to show your inconsiderate ignorance with regard to others’ enjoyment of things that you may not appreciate. Your posts were also indirectly flaming of 711, so if you don’t like what the man does at this forum then f*cking leave, rather than continue with your incessant ramblings about shit you think is important to the rest of us.

[COLOR=“Purple”]Oh, and … how many others got a -rep saying “You are an idiot” by Centech … or am I just that special. Seems others don’t have the right to be appreciative of what 711 does at this forum. :rolleyes:

[COLOR=“Silver”]Once in a great while that purple bitch-slap is warranted!

Not yet lol

[COLOR=“Blue”]Thx MS9.

I agree with you as well. I was sure that I would have a -rep from him, but nothing yet. I know he has seen the post. I feel that he is/was trying his best to come up with something. I’m sure I will have my first -rep ever from him lol

Oh well, sorry if the truth hurts…

What makes this good is that you can add more than just the people on your in-game FL and you can leave messages for them offline. This will serve us well until MA implements a much better social/messaging/friends system in-game.

You can use Jeti ( http://jeti.sourceforge.net/applet.php ) to login through a webbrowser.

[Compusmurf]

works fine thru..

I use Pidgin. Connecting to the entropians.com server works fine.

[Centech]

Of course if I don’t like the feature I am free not to use it, and those who do like it are of course free to use it. I didn’t even really say much about the IM client itself, I simply don’t care much about it.

What I did comment on was the ridiculous fanboism of some people who jump up and down screaming ‘WOW THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER’ at every stupid thing anybody posts. Probably without even reading or knowing what they are responding to. I find this ridiculous. Take all the people that will post ‘GRATZ!!!’ to threads accidentally posted in the HOF section here. Lots of people are just mindless drones, and I will call them out on it. If YOU don’t like that than YOU are free to simply not read MY posts. kthx

I love EF, and I love many of the people who use it. No, I will not simply just leave. EF is OUR community. Mindbuster built it, we all supported him, morally and financially. 711 is now the custodian, but I reject the idea that we all need to just shut up and take it if we are unhappy with certain aspects of it. This is not the spirit in which the ‘change of ownership’ occured as both MB and Neomaven made clear at the time.

Now as for you quoting my remarks about being somehow labeled some sort of racist or xenophobe.. did you have a comment on that? I get quite pissed off when people america-bash like it is some sort of competitive sport. Oh.. centech is american so what he says doesn’t matter.. He doesn’t understand anything outside of the US. Well, I’ve traveled to 5 continents and dozens of different countries. I have a college degree, I work on Wall St. I wont flaunt financial numbers because I’m not dion, but I do pretty ok. I know a thing or two about the world. I’m not a country bumpkin and I’m certainly not ignorant, so I don’t appreciate the condescending attitude people take about Americans.

As for the -rep.. You are special, that was just for you babe.

Yes, if we don’t absolutely hate everything neomaven or every warant does or says, we are “fanbois”.

Grow up. :rolleyes:

[COLOR=“Purple”]Well … from one American to another … your behavior at times is quite crass and rude, and you can get your point across without being an ass about it. And perhaps take some of your own advice … you don’t like reading the fanbois posts, then choose not to Babe.

…and now the REAL question…

How do i earn EFD for IM’ing??

darri (kpward)

great initiative and effort 711.

[Centech]

I would like to share one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite Philosophers.

“At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.”

– Friedrich Nietzsche

And with that in mind I will have nothing further to add to this discussion.

@Kimmi

Dear 711

Im at work and havent tested this awesome IM yet. But the way I understand it, the IM you have to registrere on Entropians.com??

Why cant this IM be implemented in EntropiaForum.com, the same way Facebook.com is.
So that my friends on EntropiaForum.com are automaticly added to my IM.
And that we dont have to make another login,pass to use the IM.

I did not want to use the existing member base for the Entropia IM service, for several reasons.

Since you can save your password, and set the IM client to auto-login when Windows starts, you really don’t need to remember a new login/pass.

[Tussi]

Feature suggestion

Hi 711,

you wrote that the client would show ‘away’ in case a fullscreen window is infront.

How about showing ‘ingame’ in case the fullscreen windows has the Title

‘Entropia Universe’

?

So are you saying the EIM, database is not safe??
