Dear Support,
first of all thanks for extending your work time onto Saturdays. Maybe some of you won't like it much, but it will be a better service for the community, and you should know we all appreciate it.
The rest of this support case is a compliant, so please forward it to the related responsible and count it as such for your internal statistics. Thanks.

The second reason I'm writing you is about the 2pec decay fee on every piece of clothing or armor that the avatar equips. I think this is a great mistake that will badly affect the general gameplay.
I find it hypocrite that you put this tax to avoid people changing themselves multiple times, but ont he other hand add another piece of armor to the sets. It's not people changing themselves that creates lag, it's player's computer, the network connection load and the server latency/response, but I'm sure you know that already.
Talking about that new footguards, you wrote that they will be effective only with the next major VU, 9.1. I ask you to publish a publication date for it, granting users a reasonable timeframe (say 2months+) to gather the most rare pieces for their best armors, and to reassure your playerbase about the fact that you care about their investments.
A third reasoning must be made about the aspect of decayed/low-TT-value clothes.
We all know that MindArk never did much advertising about Project Entropia before and Entropia Universe after, having started the one and only media campaign less than an year ago. And let's not talk about printed magazines, ads, sponsorizations, etc... Never seen any report about them.
The most of the images that circulates around are taken and grabbed by your own playerbase, which wants to show off their clothes, accessories, armor sets, furnitures and the looking of those combinations.
Now are you sure you want to have a nice and detailed texture maps, bump maps, reflections and the whole other Shader3.0 eyecandy showing mainly people going around naked, or with their Orange Jumpsuits?
Have you tried Google-ing for "Entropia Universe" on images? Or "Project Entropia"?
Now, as others will probably have already written you by now, I'll stop the good old fun hunting and PED spending activities, and revert to use your marvellous ped-costing, lag-free (!), shader3.0-but-all-grey game for chat and social activities until things settles out and your Community Representatives (were they both on holiday today, the VU9.0 day? Did they knew at least the content list?
) come out and tells us the MindArk takes on the matters on the table, and what will/will not be done.
Again, thanks for your precious time, and keep up the good work! (Talking to Support here, ofc...)
Paolo

nice things, they also introduced a couple things that the playerbase didn't really liked (and other less hatred...):
