Are you annoyed by the primative in-game messaging system that Entropia Universe has? Well I am too, especially the pathetically low number of “friends” you can have on you Friends List, but, unfortunately, we have no direct control over that limit (are you listening, MindArk? Higher limit, please?). However, we can do one thing to organize the messaging system we do have so it can work more efficiently for us. Organizing your Friends List is as easy as adding one character at a time.
How, you ask?
Well, just pre-pend symbols to the names of people in you Friends List to aid in keeping it sorted. Since the Friends List is fairly primitive, this is the only way to sort people into groups. Symbols have an “alphabetical order” the same way Latin characters A-Z do, so they can help us here. Personally I have chosen to use the symbols !, “, #, $, %, &, ‘, * and + to represent the hierarchy of SynerGen, as well as categorize some other contacts. But, it is easy to experiment with the different symbols on your keyboard and come up with your own categorization scheme. Use whatever suits you best!
Here’s a more in depth explanation of my setup:
- Symbol ! – Reserved for Marta, aka Addy, my love, always at the top of my list
- Symbol “ – Reserved for Synergy SyngerGen Genesis, our society’s leader
- Symbol # – Expedition Advisors
- Symbol $ – Senior Adventurers
- Symbol % – Adventurers
- Symbol & – Senior Travelers
- Symbol ‘ – Travelers
- Symbol * – Important contacts outside of SynerGen
- Symbol + – Traders, pilots and other service providers
Hopefully you’ve found this useful. If you have any suggestions for ways we can improve our experience of using the EU messaging system, please leave a comment. We will certainly thank you for your contribution!
