Sadly soc functionality has always been fairly lacking in Entropia for over a decade.
You have the Landgrab stuff, a soc under your name, soc ranking /s short cut for soc chat (now could be any chat)
and that is about it really.
They are fairly pointless. That said a number of socs have devised their own crests and so forth over the years but this was only used on websites and soc work outputs like maps, magazines signatures and so forth.
It would be a nice little addition I imagine but then again so too would so many other things.
For starters I'd be happy if people could read my in game profile description without needing to friend me!
