Is it harder to get support from MindArk for syncing issues and such if you use something other than Entropia Pocket? Everything on the website is all about Pocket and doesn't even acknowledge alternatives.

I'm going on 12 days so far trying to ask some questions about Entropia Pocket compatibility. It says the case was updated yesterday but there's no reply, so maybe they put in a reply and deleted it, or maybe it was elevated to the wumbo team yesterday or something.

While some notion of better/worse can certainly be reverse constructed to make this true, I don't see a way to square such a notion with what Entropia fundamentally is. In a dime-a-dozen mobile game where the user experience is a non-stop centrally-planned barrage of immediate gratification and...

I think this type of approach to the problem would set exactly the wrong precedent. The sandbox nature of Entropia is supposed to be all about the Entropian having open access to a wide range of options and modes of gameplay, not the developer taking evermore aggressive measures to confine the...

Interesting, has anyone had success utilizing these products on Entropia accounts? Seeing "Hash algorithm: sha1 (default)" on the token2 products is a bit shocking, as the protocol's been considered insecure for almost as long as Entropia's been around.

The main argument is that the Gold Card Security System has far superior security properties, namely that the device is dedicated exclusively to its specific security task without the ability to execute arbitrary software, and that the device has no online connectivity, both of which severely...

Youtube says this song has literally No views and can't find it elsewhere. Maybe I'm one of the first to ever hear it!

I think this style of accounting misses far too many of the indirect causal effects which thread the Entropian ecosystem to be of much use. Of course, in an ex post sense, MindArk would prefer to have attracted only the subset of its actual playerbase which would have resulted in the highest...

Have the developers actually announced that they intend for players to hunt these mobs only in certain areas? Entropia has been suffering catastrophic levels of developer intent over-expression in recent years arising from long-standing corporate incentive misalignments, to the extent of...

Thanks for the kind words! This was my first reaction, but I decided to accept his two sentence challenge. :laugh:

First I explain two existing strategic benefits of the slider, as per request. Then I offer an argument for why that framing is too narrow, restate the question and a very partial sketch of an answer in terms of design principles (focusing on composability) instead of specific known benefits...

Alright, let's start with a couple of fairly specific examples and then try to abstract to some more broadly-applicable conclusions. Typically, Alice Chalice McPalacen exhibits a slightly risk-adverse utility function, and chooses pure Quantity on the crafting slider. However, there is...

Resigned after Gold Card apocalypse! Coincidence? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: Yes

This is odd wording. Are all Gold Card users unable to login due to technical issues (a.k.a., the entire system is toast), or only a subset (i.e., those who attempted to log in since the issue arose are bricked but others will be fine)?

MindArk will likely switch to the quantum resistant Platinum Card Superiority System by then.

There should be a process for those of us who purchased a Gold Card Security System and/or spare reader from the Trade Terminal under the expectation of it functioning for the life of Entropia to be reimbursed.

This is certainly somewhat better than a perpetually-online device. The Gold Card Security System still has the advantage of being dedicated to its singular security purpose (i.e., it can't run software, which is a significant disadvantage of security through a mobile device with an operating...

It's hard to see how that could apply in this particular case, since the error is affecting all Gold Card users and not just one or a few. I guess if you start with the assumption that those who use Gold Cards do so because they expect faster issue resolution rather than out of a preference for...

Gold Card fix (hopefully)!

I have the same problem! I'd recommend waiting patiently for the fix. The Gold Card Security System is no longer available for purchase or to replace broken systems/cards, but existing owners are grandfathered into the program, and can have their systems re-synced as needed through Support...

I'm super against this sort of hard paternalism. I don't think there's one unique way to rank rights violations, but there's certainly a sense in which hard paternalism is quite high up on the list. Stealing your friend's expensive item is a pretty bad property rights violation. Stealing your...

I see some points very much in the vicinity of legitimate concerns here, but many appear to be framed in light of a misguided philosophy which doesn't mesh well with Entropia's. It would be excellent, for example, if MindArk took less extreme measures when balancing drop rates, modifying...
