Hi. We are aware of the shopping booth issues and are working on relocating them back to their pre 9.4 positions. There will also be an upgrade to the booths in the near future. This is just a quick post to let you know that we are working on it and sorry for any frustration caused by this delay.

EXPENSIVE DATABASE DIVING:
Hi,
As clearly explained in the support policy at the website, we generally only investigate issues reported within a week of the discovery of the occurrence. Exceptions to this rule are possible and our admin tool allows us to access data as far back as six months.
It is possible to manually access the database to make searches further back in time; however, such an investigation is time consuming and increases the load on the database. Therefore there is an administrative fee of 400 PED/hour. If you are interested in such an investigation, please let us know and we will assist you further.
As well, please note that we actually need the full name that you want us to search in order to look them up.
Kind regards,

100 free ped were given to beta Compet Deed Owners for use in Compets – They did give these peds out in Compets for the most part, but there were several folks in Forums that had to ask for them in the Compet forum as Entropia Universe Support Team sent them to the forums over there. I believe that some holding compet deeds when this was going on were not aware that it was going on, and since a few folks asked for the peds on the forums and got them that way, it makes me wonder how many were due those peds but didn’t ask on the forum, so didn’t actually get them…

During the Halloween gift give-out a mistake was made in that those who had deposited over 10,000 PED but did not keep an apartment still did not receive the Skeleton Pants. This was due to a mistake at FPC where old rules for handing out seasonal presents were used. We’re going to compensate this by giving out the Skeleton Pants again to the Calypso colonists who meet the requirement of either keeping an estate and/or having deposited 10,000 PED.
This may result in a number of participants receiving a second pair of Skeleton Pants this time round.

We have a commercial agreement that includes a PED payment for her to use at her discretion and I encourage this to be used to play the game but more often than not she blows it giving away freebies to people 
MFM is an avatar I requested for Virtualsense (my company) from Mindark to be used to administer the free flight program that I fund. This is completely transparent and monitored by MA. It is administered by myself, [USER=5614]@Dark Moon Enigma[/USER], [USER=5333]@Kendra[/USER] or [USER=5771]@Pusherman[/USER], its sole purpose is to manage the Yamato and is controlled by representatives of my company. Admittedly it is mostly managed by [USER=5614]@Dark Moon Enigma[/USER] and as we all know she does most of the work around here!!!
I’m sure nobody thinks there is anything untoward going on here but thought I would just spell it out before the conspiracies start.

While I DON’T agree with most of what’s in the following 2007 quote from Finkle’s reply to the above blog post I’m putting a copy of this here as a reminder that the issue of Dev’s playing is one that’s been around even before the Planet Partner’s Existed, and is one that Mindark and PPs should really do something about by being more open about the issue and possibly issuing more communication to the community about since this type of issue/conspiracy is probably keeping Entropia Universe from being played by a lot more folks out there in the general population…
Finkle said:
Then back to sweating, usually people who go through this cycle a couple of time will end up depositing money. The minute you do, scammers flock over and try to steal your money in some way or another. Make no mistake, there are mostly employees of mindark, they know EXACTLY when you deposit, and don’t show their faces until you do. I have watched the tactics they use and see the light. The avatars you meet and put on your friend list are more times than not the SAME employee. Just watch how on your friends list two or three people seem to log out at exactly the same time. Then a minute later when their computer reboots they log back in at the same time, with a slight delay in between. Look at how the same avatars can’t hold up individual conversations with you at the same time, they have a hard time trying to keep up with both conversations. I have actually seen one avatar answer a question that I asked ANOTHER avatar!! The staff of mindark sit around and create accounts all day, scam newbies, manipulate the market, get Hall of Fames to entice you to keep playing, and you are a HUGE TOOL if you play their rigged game.

Is selling of avatars allowed? My guess would be it isn’t based on my own interpretation of the eula/tos… but It seems that some are doing it nowadays and based on some old forum threads, etc. have done it in the past…

Also, as you have at least one person at Mindark using the forums from time to time a reply there in the forum might be a good idea on this one as well as a reply to this support case here…
Entropia Universe Support
Hi mastermesh,
Thank you for your support case.
It is not allowed, even if there is seemingly threads as they were contacted any sale was stopped.
Additionally, it is the Forum administration that needs to deal with this and I’ll send them a notice, to have MindArk replying in threads does commonly not get a positive outcome as further discussions are started and messages get purposely misunderstood.
Either way, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Take care and best of luck.
Kind regards,
Ulf | Entropia Universe Support
Notice regarding inquiries referring to selling of avatars:
As stated in the EULA 2.2 Restricted Use, a participant, may not sell, lease, sublicense or otherwise transfer any rights to the Entropia Universe System to third parties.
Which means that we do not support the selling of avatars, doing so will lead to an account suspension.
Kind regards,
Entropia Universe Support

Another Related Thread: Account Sale – the reason that warning got posted…
Hi, No, you are not allowed to have more than one active avatar/account.
Kind regards,
Entropia Universe Support
Hi,We are sorry if our previous reply sounded like we didn’t know what to do with multiple accounts, because that is not the case, we do have strict policies for this kind if issues and it is clearly stated on the EULA that you are only allowed to own one active avatar/account.
Hi, As stated in the End Users License Agreement (EULA), each participant is entitled to one active Entropia Universe Account at the time. The reason for this is that your avatar is meant to be your virtual representation within the Entropia Universe. Other avatars will know you by your appearance and your name.
We cannot prevent people from creating several accounts, but if someone uses multiple accounts in order to abuse the system or gain economic advantages to other participants, we will look into the matter and take appropriate measures. In case of such an investigation, it is important that each account holder can verify his/her identity in order to prove his/her right to the account.
Unfortunately we can not discuss information about accounts other than your own, however please rest assured that we will look into the matter and if there is clear proof of abuse, we will certainly follow up on it.
Kind regards,
Entropia Universe Support
Unless the name violates the EULA or ToU or you happened to write your real name as your avatar name, we do not change the name of your avatar. The reason for not allowing a change of your avatar name is that you build reputation and trust inside the Entropia Universe by the name of your avatar. To allow this to be changed would undermine confidence in existing avatar relations.

Borders on where Items can be dropped safely in estates have changed in the past…
You will probably not be able to place anything on the wall close to your booth. The walls are not supposed to be included in the booth area. However, should it still be this in your case, it is OK to place an item there. If you wish to find out whether someone can steal an item you have placed there, it is the same here as above. If you get a warning message before placing the item on the wall, the area is unsafe and not within your estate.
Thank you for the additional information. It is indeed a feature the fact that the visualize button will not show borders of the apartments. However, you should feel free to drop items in your hallway since the pick up option is not available to other avatars.
The area from the teleporters to the hallways, however is public.

Affiliate Program
MindArk is in the early stages of designing a comprehensive affiliate program that will allow existing EU participants to get rewarded for helping to expand the Entropia Universe user base. We hope to launch that program in the first quarter of 2013. More details will be shared once the initial design of the affiliate program becomes more certain.
Way back Machine Copy of http://planetcalypso.eu/en
Welcome
This is the official affiliate program planetcalypso.eu for the Massive Multiplayer Online Game “Planet Calypso” inside the Entropia Universe.
Here you will find information about the unique concept of the game and the Entropia Universe and a newly initiated affiliate program presented in cooperation with First Planet Company, the operator of Planet Calypso.
You may apply to this exceptional program to become an affiliate and upon acceptance and activation you will be able to participate directly in the booming market of online games.
We are looking forward to welcome you as a new associate affiliate soon.
Wayback Machine Copy of http://planetcalypso.eu/en/node/34 and the related sublinks:
Affiliate Program
In the course of the integration of the CryEngine2 as graphics engine for the Entropia Universe this Affiliate Program was initiated. It offers eligible affiliates the opportunity to receive a 5 year, weekly paid commission on the company´s profits of each newly recruited player.
We absolutely differentiate here from other programs as the duration in which we pay the commission is much longer and not just a one time bonus after reaching a certain turnover.
A main characteristic of this program is the fact that these commissions are also paid if the player who originally registered for Planet Calypso decides to play on other planets inside the Entropia Universe. Of course, First Planet Company´s main interest is to keep the participants on Planet Calypso, but for the commission is only relevant that the initial registration was made for Planet Calypso via our affiliate network.
Your advantages
Our affiliates are looking at a market that’s still just scratched on the surface and are facing an excellent starting position to take part in the steadily growing MMORPG market environment.
Numerous studies show the fact that basically free games, with special content that needs to be paid, are steadily increasing.
Mindark, the company behind the Entropia Universe and First Planet Company with Planet Calypso recognized that trend very early and developed a game environment with an economy that’s based on real cash. Here, participants can not only deposit money from their bank accounts or credit cards, they can also withdraw it directly back without any hassles.
NOTE: POSTING THIS AFFILIATE LINK STUFF, IN PART BECAUSE MY PERSONAL BELIEF IS THAT THE BELOW ONE HAS SOME INTERESTING INFO TO OFFER ABOUT HOW ENTROPIA UNIVERSE ITSELF WORKS THAT MANY IN THE COMMUNITY DON’T SEEM TO SEE REGARDING HOW AUCTION AND DECAY FEES GET DISTRIBUTED (NOT RETURNED TO LOOT POOL AS SOME THEORIES WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE)
How does it work ?
So, how does an affiliate program look like on a game concept that’s basically free, with no download fee or monthly subscription fees ? How does the operator actually earn money ?
Each tool, weapon, clothes, basically everything a player can utilize has a specific basic value. This base decreases by a certain preset amount every time an object is used until it reaches almost zero value and has to be “repaired”.
The correlating amount of the in-game currency PED and therefor 10:1 US-Dollars of what the item decays gets distributed 50:50 between Mindark PE AB as operator of the Entropia Universe and the planet partner where the participant has the account registered and pursuing its activities, in our case First Planet Company and Planet Calypso.
Another source of income are fees and commissions attached to the in-game auction and player’s shops. Every sale on the auction and shops produces a sales commission that also gets shared 50:50 between Mindark and the Planet Partner.
Planet Calypso attracts gamers
From this revenue First Planet Company passes a certain percentage X onto the affiliates registered on planetcalypso.eu – for 5 years on each new recruited player !
At the same time its irrelevant whether a participant spends money that was obtained by hunting, mining, etc, or if it was deposited via credit card or other methods of payment available. Once the money is used to operate tools and other items its counted as income.
Internal Mindark surveys show that every user grosses an average of about $ 0.50 – $1 per hour on item usage charges.
Furthermore once registered people stay for a longer period with the game, as compared to other online games, until they eventually lose interest and move on to another one.
A substantial reason for that is the non-existent monthly subscription fee.
Also an overly interesting, exciting and always evolving storyline, which actively integrates the players into the past, present, and future of Planet Calypso is maintained by the operator First Planet Company. New planets will also increase players interest in the Universe due to different styles of play and story lines linked to different planets.
Prosperous affiliate program thanks to CryEngine2
The graphics upgrade to the popular CryEngine2 is another unique characteristics in this market environment and guarantees our affiliates a big interest on their banner campaigns.
The Entropia Universe and the game Planet Calypso inside of it is still very little known everywhere in the world compared to other online games, mainly because Mindark never really did any active advertising for it. Yet, there are already 900,000 accounts registered, a number that will jump up together with the CryEngine2 upgrade. Well-known new planet partners will fire up the interest and the curiosity for the Entropia Universe too.
Thus, participating affiliates are looking towards an outstanding and long-term revenue stream, just by displaying our eye-catching banners or textlinks with their affiliate ID on related content.
All informations about the Entropia Universe and Planet Calypso that an interested person might want to know can be found on the publishers websites, multi-lingual of course and each new account registration there will be tracked by the affiliate ID.
Always up to date banners, also especially made for ongoing ingame events (e.g. a special christmas event, that got some exceptional prizes), will be provided by us, but also can be designed by the affiliate based upon our guidelines.
Your potential: multilingualism & sub affiliates
Affiliates who want to address clientel that speaks languages other than English can do that too. The publishers website and all the information as well as the game client is available in German, Spanish and French. Chinese and Russian translations are being processed. We currently offer German, Polish and English banners inside the internal area of planetcalypso.eu and more languages are to follow.
In the near future our affiliates will be able to set up own sub affiliate programs. In short, this opens up exceptional income capabilities on a long-term basis which are further described under “income possibilities”

Clarification about Entropia Banking Operations
Since we released news about the virtual banking licenses, several questions regarding loan services and banking affairs within Entropia Universe have been raised. The main concern has been the lending of items for interest. We feel that we need to clarify our policy about this.
Recently MindArk PE AB issued official virtual banking licenses. These licenses comprise a secured bank system for processing loans and securities in the form of items. All transactions made via this official bank system, such as loans, defaults, securities, interest etc., are safe and as such guaranteed by MindArk.
By contrast, loan services offered outside this official bank system cannot be guaranteed by MindArk. If an item is exchanged between avatars, this transaction will be logged as a regular TRADE. And as all trades are final, MindArk will not investigate claims if a loan giving avatar refuses to return items or money.Many people do not fully understand the true value of their virtual items until they are lost. They will then contact MindArk PE AB for assistance and will realize that we cannot help them; this can cause a lot of unnecessary grief and frustration.
We do not wish to discourage entrepreneurship within Entropia Universe, but based on experiences from community feedback and support case history, unfortunately not all entrepreneurs offering loaning services are trustworthy members of the Entropia Universe and therefore we need to be strict in our policies in order to protect the community from scams and cheating.
Therefore, any loan services offered outside the approved bank system will be considered by MindArk as scam attempts and the avatar offering such services risk a permanent lockdown of his/her account.
http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/fo…l=1#post681145
‘Fund Scams’ As noted above, according to Mindark:
…If an item is exchanged between avatars, this transaction will be logged as a regular TRADE. And as all trades are final, MindArk will not investigate claims if a loan giving avatar refuses to return items or money.
…any loan services offered outside the approved bank system will be considered by MindArk as scam attempts and the avatar offering such services risk a permanent lockdown of his/her account.
so ALL ‘funds’ where one avatar holds stuff that other avatars are claiming they have ownership of should be considered a potential scam in process… Below are links to Funds that have been mentioned in forums, community websites, etc. (some did turn out to be major scams already, some haven’t yet… Be cautious since Mindark considers these sort of setups as ‘potential scams’ and we, as a community should too unless Mindark’s stance on this matter and ability to allow us to have multiple folks own one thing in game (outside of the deed system for Akradia Underground Deeds, Calypso Land Deeds, etc.) ever changes someday… (Honestly, I’m not sure why Mods don’t delete every ‘fund’ thread since Mindark won’t stand behind funds as they are scam-bait, unless maybe the Mods themselves are behind one or a few of them?)

Earn Peds Outside of Entropia Scam Sites – I’d highly suggest NOT using these type of sites/services since they usually end up being a scam even though some claim they work for them… Just posting these here so that community is aware that these types of places exist. Officially According to Mindark ‘all trades are final’ in game, so any trade with another avatar for items/services outside of the game will just be logged as a regular trade in game, so if you get scammed doing some trade for a service/item outside of the game using in game peds/pecs/items Mindark WON’T back you up if it turns out to be scam… These links are NOT so much to advertise these places as to make the community, devs, and Mindark aware that they exist so maybe they can actually start doing something about getting rid of them (like perhaps calling up some ISPs behind these sites and start throwing lawyers at them for IP infringment, etc.)

Hi,
It is very regrettable that there are participants that use the chats to gain an advantage. However, we have no means to control communication within the virtual universe. The Entropia Universe is designed to resemble the real world in as many ways as possible. As in real life, not all people you meet will be honest and well behaved. This does of course not mean that we do not take action against people who ruin the experience for other people in the Entropia Universe. We thank you very much for your report.

This is a HUGE problem potentially since it might be leading to the the theft of tons of virtual items by robber barrons holding apartment deeds. Hopefully Mindark will fix this problem.
Estates in Entropia Universe have a very, very long history of not working correctly. At some point in time I may post some links to various discussions of these many problems throughout the history of Entropia Universe. It is things like this that make us question if Mindark is living up to it’s promise that both Planet Partners and the participants on the planets should always feel safe in their endeavors in Entropia Universe.
