Quite often I see conspiracy theories about MindArk supposedly have some “chosen avatars” that has all the luck, gets all the good loot and wins all contests. Also in this conspiracy theory it is often mentioned that these privileged Avatars are from Sweden.
I want to take this opportunity to point out some logical an obvious factors.
To start with, Entropia is a Swedish game, and when it was launched it hit mostly swedes first, before it slowly spread to other parts of the world. When I started to play Entropia, soon 13 years ago, a big majority of the players were in fact swedes.
Some of these Swedish players are still around today, and that is also why a few of the most successful players in the game are swedes. Not all, but some.
Anyhow, regardless of country of origin, something that people need to understand is that these so called “chosen players” has been around for 12-13 years and played more or less constantly. It is also important to understand that these “chosen players” are pioneers, they have very often taken huge economical risks by investing large money into equipment that had an uncertain future. Such items which today has the “Ancient” status as an example. They have placed big money into building the first operational hangar and being first avatars in space, not knowing if it would pay out. Payed millions of PEDs in Land Areas. Gambled 700.000 PED on an Atrox Egg that nobody knew what would happen to, and so on.
Also worth to consider is that some of these legendary players has spent more than 10.000 hours in game to achieve their current success.
I mean sure Mindark like these players because they are excellent role models and PR for the game, but do they get a free ride from Mindark? I can bet you they don’t.
That is my 2 pec.
