Our investigation confirmed that two avatars had used items intended for use exclusively by official avatars. The items in question were acquired, without the permission of either MindArk or Arkadia Studios, from Planet Arkadia Official avatars.
Henrik Nel
CEO MindArk
Based on reports from the community regarding potential use of official-only items by player avatars, MindArk initiated a thorough investigation into the matter over the past 12 days. In this statement I will detail the steps taken by MindArk, including our investigation of this issue, the actions taken based on our investigation, and adjustments to our policies and procedures to prevent such issues in the future.

MindArk takes the security and integrity of Entropia Universe very seriously, and we apologize for the concerns and uncertainty that these issues have understandably caused within the community. We will make every effort to ensure that such issues are not possible in the future. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Finally, all official-only items will no longer be tradable, nor will they be usable by player avatars.
sheesh ... 5 months ... two gonna hate me meow
I appreciate the statement but I think you should consider rewarding the avatar who brought it to both your and the playerbases attention. This would not be unprecedented, notification of serious bugs and flaws have been rewarded in the past.
I hope you agree.

Poor DannyO stuck at home during lockdown with nothing to do but roll in his giant pile of cash that he is not allowed to blow in entropia for 5 months..
Whos stepping up to cover his depos?
Was an MA official who tipped zen about this. So they dont need to reward anyone, because it has a paycheck each month.

So, it's clear that Danny O's Biotropic skills/attributes will be reset, and that he'll be banned for 5 months. However, will there be no additional information regarding the other player that was found to be abusing these type of items??
We deserve to know exactly what items these players had and to what extent they were abused. I am not happy until this is clarified.

why 2 players?
because the community only knows about 2 players ... very simple ...
why should MA reveal more if the community no longer knows.
Or do you really think that there were only 2 players? As long as it is no longer public, there are unfortunately only the 2 ...
