Entropia Universe ATM Cards?!?

Omg thats so awesome :eek:
 
This is with out a doubt gonna be the best feature MA has ever put into game.
 
Holy Macaroni! I'm just wondering though...is it typical of MA to not put up anything about stuff on their own website? I mean...this is a huge bit of news!?

Good luck out there!
 
Awsome! :smash:
Nothing like hitting frontpage! :eek: (almost)

LOOK OUT NEWB RUSH!!!!!

Yay, the sea of orange in every city! It's always quite the spectacle. :laugh:

Awesome article, what a badass idea! Although we all know it's only to lure us to put more money in. :whisper:

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. :thumbup:
 
That is truly amazing. :) Thank you MA
 
Okay, I gotta admit... that's really cool.
 
at first i thought the article was :bs: but with a little looking around it is the legit NYTimes site which would mean to me that this is for real.
 
Woah, this is going to be so awesome.

Now I have some real motivations into making benefits :}
 
hmmm, I do sincerly wish that they send the eagerly waiting players, me o_O, their gold cards that have been ordered a few months back before introducing and sending out a newer and different card o_O.....

maybe this was the gold card update taht was in store. Not only is it security, but it's allso your atm card o_O.....is'nt there some kind of age issue with this?
 
Wow, a very interesting development. And a few points . . .

"We want this game to be a full second reality,"
MA are calling PE a GAME.

With around 250,000 players, Entropia is the leader . . .
A figure we have been wanting to know for some time.

Mr. Welter said:
He said that MindArk had never been asked about the game by the Internal Revenue Service or United States law-enforcement agencies.
Something else MA have been very quite about.

All in all a bit of a seachange for MA and yes there will definately be a flood of orrange. Good news
cyphyr
 
havnt had time to ask this.. but where and how do i get one of these... and will it work in the USA?
 
This news is really great and add something QUITE new into game - but I'm a bit dissapointed, that MA didnt told us - the players - about that HUGE news? I know its to being used for advertising - but then, again I feel that I/we, the players, comes in secondly!

About the number of players - I thought MA said EU had around 400,000 players? Are they finaly being realistic, or is it something I misunderstood?

Nevertheless - Very nice move, MA! I hope it will succeed without problems ;)

I'll second that. I just hope there are not excessive fees for withdrawal...
 
Maybe it works like an EFT to your existing ATM card.

I don't think this negates the need for a Gold (security) Card.

Essentially this new system is great for..............

1) People that already have large sums of money invested in the game!
2) People quiting and cashing out!
3) lol, People that have deposited and later realized that they cant pay the RL rent this week.

The article does give the impression that making money in-game is common. :)

However it should give alot of security to New Players that are really toying with the idea to coming in and investing.

So good for the economy. :Thumbs Up:

Im just wondering... -why is that? I dont see anyone else gaining on this except the players.
And MA ofc because of the positive PR, but thats just business. Making it comfertable for players makes people want to play.. This is imo a very good thing, so I think they fully deserve the PR for this if they make a nice system. :)

Been there done that :king:
 
Wow!!! This is the awesome news I have been waiting for. I have been skeptical about investing too much, I feel much safer with this new process. Wish they would say when and how to get one of these though.

:dunno: I think they should have send out a mail and have told the news on their website too. I have been looking and found nothing. Maybe I just looked the wrong place? Nevertheless we, as players and the people putting in our money now, are the primaire costumers (or so it is in my world).

And PR is good yes, but servicing existing costumers is everything! Information is a source to that!

Don't get me wrong. This is a good move! But it's such a good move I believe we deserves to know more about it!
 
I just hope it isn't limited just to a few countries. I wonder how this A.T.M thing will work world-wide if it's not.

And much respect to MA for that. I just hope it doesn't take like 2 years to be implemented.
 
Wow! This sounds great. Maybe this is the "Big News" Marco has been talking about???

Of course, there will be a small downside to it where scammers and thieves are involved: they will have almost instant access to their ill-gotten gains. I have to wonder what changes MA have made to forgo the up-to-3-months-to-withdraw process and still ensure that a withdrawal is legit.

And I am sure the US tax authorities will be asking questions of MA very soon, followed shortly by my government making it illegal for me to participate... :(
 
Good news i guess. Could you also deposit on it at a Bank??? I would love that.

I would like to see RoadGravy's response to this:
"We have ways of detecting abnormal fluctuations between players and so on, and if this would happen, we would know about it," Mr. Welter said.

As long as this doesn't make it quicker for scammers to take money out then fine lets bring it on.

Might have to stay away from PA for a while then with all new beggars about to turn up.
 
I think the introduction of ATm cards will not only make it easier to remove cash but also to deposit it :) I think MA want it to be flexible, maybe even set up a standing order and ohh my dog im talking about subscriptions.

A good idea but I dont think it will be to benificial to players like me who dont deposit enough to take money out :( ok in a few years when I have aqumalated a bit more, then maybe it will be a great thing to have around for me.

Untill then Ill just continue to dream that one day I will get paid to play PE :)
 
Ya i think this is an awesome development, i just hope there are no bugs involved in the process ;P
 
It also mentions that they have spent years developing this. That would explain why resources are not fixing recurring bugs. LOL. Damn. Not a laughing matter. Sorry.
 
I came in late as usual and after the many "Wows!" and "Awesomes" all I can add is more of the same. This is just absolutely fantastic!
 
Well, that's a cool feature!

At the same time I must add it feels a bit odd to read about the new card feature on a different site than MA's EU main page first.

...but I have a feeling things won't stay like this for long :girl:
 
Nice idea, but with all the 'loot sucks' threads and whines not many will be withdrawing ped's to go to the ball game :laugh:

I presume that you will have to show rl photo id to MA before getting an ATM card so does this mean that MA will actively persue anybody who steals items/ped's and cashes out via ATM?

Or will it just mean once the money has gone (before you realise your account has been stripped) you will get zero back, even if MA lock the other account?

Wonder what the daily max withdraw is, £500/day (8,500 ped's +/-) same as my bank ATM or a bit lower?

This article raises more questions than it answers for me.

:girl:
 
Wow , if they get this system up ill be really impressed!

I think its an great idea MA :)
