There are different types of Entropia Universe Accounts that employees at MindArk, Planet Partners and other affiliates can have. These accounts are strictly monitored by MindArk and several rules apply to them. Most importantly, they must all abide to the EULA and ToU and they must not be used for personal economical gain.

https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...Outlet-shop!&p=2788077&viewfull=1#post2788077 If Silverfox is holding the Carramone Armor, which is one of the more rare sets in game, other players that not... same sort of thing with his mall shop... just another estate another participant cannot own. Just one small example of why shareholders having avatars may not be the best idea... How in the heck does the average Joe off of the street compete vs that sort of thing where he's probably acquired that stuff through back room deals, etc.... Also was the peds used to buy that stuff from his own deposits, the shareholders earnings or some other source?!? Where's the proof? How did he acquire every asset? If any of it was through events, etc., how is there 'proof' the events were not rigged to give the investor a little bit of an advantage, or in the case of something like with the armor, a major advantage?!?
