I think there should be clear rules with the withdraws procedures. This is RCE, it is like a bank. If my bank would tell me "we will commit your withdraw sometimes in the future but we can not say when". I would change that bank instantly. Such delays does not improve relations between players and MA which suppose to be neat!!
Moreover it scares away new players. If one starts to wonder if thats is not a scam it is already a bad sign. Early this year MA/Planet Calypso looked like attracting new guys which is awesome but they should concentrate on every aspects about it including withdraw (actually this should be at the very first point on the list).
Well there are perfecty clear rules;
"MindArk reserves the right to, for
any reason and
at its sole discretion, refuse approval of an Account application, to refuse access to an Account, to Terminate, Ban or Lock an Account and to remove, edit or add Account information, with or
without notice to You."
"MindArk
reserves the
right to interrupt the services available via Entropia Universe and/or
the operation of the
Entropia Universe System with or without prior notice
for any reason. You agree that MindArk will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by interruption of the Entropia Universe, delay or failure to perform."
Oh, and:
"
This Agreement is to be
governed by, construed and enforced according to
the laws of Sweden. You agree that any future dispute that might arise between You and MindArk is to be governed by the laws of Sweden, without regards to any principles of conflicts of laws and the United Nations convention on contracts for the International Sale of Goods."
The above is interesting, because I don't think paragraphs quite like the two above have ever been tried in court versus the Swedish consumer laws.
There is no excuse such as holiday
Quite frankly I don't care about specific "swedish" attributes ... Fact is that MA caters for customers all over the world, consequently they need to behave like a multinational company. And even in Sweden not everyone is on holiday at the same time, right ?
Angel
Fact is that MA resides in Sweden, it doesn't matter if the customers live in Hawaii. Swedish laws give workers some well established rights. I'm sorry if your country has shitty working conditions.
Im sure someone will sue when they go bust for advertising it as a withdraw.
If the do go bust, there will be nothing left to sue.
