Problem solved , next
Not realy bluestack - is android emulator
Yea seriously you don't need a phone a cheep tablet will do. I just think people that PAID for gold cards should get something back in return for it being made obsolete. I'd be happy with universal ammo but something special and nostalgic would be nice too. What would be cool is a ingame gold card that you need to enter an instance and you could trade them.
As far as I am aware, there is not a single documented case of an Entropia account that used the Gold Card system having been hacked or otherwise compromised.
That's a pretty damned good track record for a "primitive system" that has been in use for well over 10 years.
Most likely the software in the app is exactly the same or at least works on a similar principle as that in the gold card, just freeing them of dealing with the hardware and associated logistics. I doubt it offers really increased security (would need to define parameters what this means in practice anyway).Most likely the GC system is not very efficient compared to the new one so it's a good step for them so a good step for the game. If you got emotionally attached to the GC, it's OK, no one is taking it away! Everything will be fine!

I didn't say increased security. I said more efficient and I was thinking of reduced cost involved.
A normal person, with all the circuits in their brain working, will consider this as a positive thing and not as a "bad sign"...
Here Here! Or simply not log in after it gets removed.
I didn't say "bad sign" or anything to that tune. Reduced cost for them I did say, so we're on the same page. Increased security is a claim floating around, I was unclear in my expression that it was not solely a direct response. And you're falling back to your vices, for a while it looked like there was improvement.
This is really a terrible idea. But i guess its about saving money. Bad sign.
GOLD card has such a good track record. Money should not be a reason to stop supporting it.
Its not like Windows XP which had shit ton of security flaws.
Someone should do a petition. I’m sure a LOT of ppl including me will vote no!
I don't think it is technophobic to scrutinize the risk vs. utility of anything newly introduced. Especially anything security-related. A lot of these things purport to solve problems you never had without them. Laziness, unattentiveness and social hacking were always the biggest risks to account security and tackling them by technology alone is a band-aid but no real solution. But people are screaming for it, so it's what they get.Not to dismiss anyone's concern, but it is surprising the number of technophobes playing a video game...
This needs to be repeated. The idea, especially on the same machine with the game which most people would likely choose to do, is about as retarded as it gets. Plus in the case of the recommended Bluestacks, unless you get a paid subscription, which those new to it or have no other use for it are unlikely to do, it keeps downloading you advertisements constantly. How secure is that? I don't really know what to say here.ye! enjoy that security "black hole" and advertising/tracking fest in your system
if anyone NEED to use an emulator I will not suggest to use this BS!
Security doesn't go together with an emulator use.
The app works nice , but for those who doesnt have a compatible smartphone someone could build av hyperv or vmware machine which could be booted and contains a emulator and that app.
Ive used the app in an emulator, but cannot export the vm to public because of some reasons.
GOLD card has such a good track record. ..
i dont wanna use my phone to log into a game. I wanna keep my goldcard
im ready to pay for it even.
bad bad idea
Still using your typewriter to type your letters, right?
Still writing cheques, right?
And I'm fairly sure you still ride your horse to work!
thats my choice, i hate phones and social media, makes zombies
also i dont have an option to make my ID digital and i dont want that either.
this game is full with old people, and guess who pays the bills.
If you cant understand that you have a really narrow view, maybe thats because of all that facebook shit.
Indeed. it's YOUR choice.
(And yes, I do agree with the side effects of smart phone use. Hence I dont do fart book or shit like that)
So, it's your choice not to accept any other things as your gold card.
But because YOU hate the side effects of smart phones, the world should just stop innovating and progressing?
PS, dont get me wrong, I'm also old and extremely conservative but sometimes, just sometimes, you should try to adapt
