MA it is about time to get into 21st century. Add crypto already. Transfer fees as cheap as 1 pec.

How about, players get into 21st century and use a bloody credit card...
If you're not able to get a mastercard or visa then maybe you shouldn't be depositing money into a game in the first place.

Anyway, I'm sure MA is doing everything they can to connect with additional payment providers.
If anyone wants you to deposit it's them so surely they'll put in all their effort in making sure everyone is able to put their money in again a.s.a.p.

Not all damn cards are for international use. Many are 'domestic only' .. those that were could be tied to paypal previously. In ancient days many prepaid cards could be used international too, not so much these days

As an alternative to PayPal, MindArk recommends using the bank or wire transfer deposit option, which is the most cost-effective method to deposit funds into Entropia Universe.


The part where they said bank transfers are available. Which are not in webshop

I've said several times now that MA should introduce a separate shop-enabled ped card balance that can be deposited to with larger sums typical of a bank transfer.

If desired by MA, it would only be possible to add to this 'shop balance' via a deposit from outside EU, as MA obviously doesn't want in-game peds to have access to the shop.
Players who have deposited to the deposit card would be able to buy things from the shop or transfer peds to their normal ped cards, but not back again.

PS: It might be that MA could provide a method for approving withdrawal amounts via a similar concept, but this topic is about how we can deposit conveniently, so is just a side note.

Edit: Personally, I would also like to see deed payout balances accepted in the shop too, but I realise this is something MA may not desire.... but my main idea... PLEASE!

Transferwise seems to be a decent option.
International debit card is free to use. Bank transfer fees are below 1 USD.

Does anyone have issues with signing up for Transferwise account/card?

my reply has been adjusted to

'deposit flows will impact our net inflows for the year, thus negatively impacting our top and bottom line. we will look at all options including layoffs and management board pay cuts. until we can have a viable method for someone outside of europe to deposit $20 USD, we will continue to be impacted. Future content updates, including space development, will be put on hold, until we figure out how to prove to regulators that we not a crypto-casino. Thank you for your understanding'

@Ludvig : Sad to say but practically the announcement is flawed. Paypal was used to buy stuff from webshop and going by your statement it would mean that bank deposit is now the preferred option for doing that for purchases above $400. However, there is no such option currently present in the webshop to do so and cc/debit are the only methods available. I think the statement needs an edit to reflect the same unless i am missing something.

I get some money from my RL customers trought Paypal. So it was super easy for me to deposite in EU. If it run trough my bank, it cost me transferring, time and more work to do. Realy , realy bad news for me, that Paypal no longer work.

No Paypal = much much harder to deposite. Thats the truth in my case.
( Just funy, for Epic games it seems not a problem, if u use Paypal. Is EU now classified as casino game, officialy? is this the problem behind? )
