Maintain the card and it will last a long time, the reader will eventually die but batteries aren't difficult to replace.

I haven't bothered to read the replys as i have long since given up on what MA and all there bots, so more to the point, if i have deposited 5000 ped i can buy a glod card for 250 and get the ped back!

nice like it, Just one thing... can you tell me why my avatar logs on when i'm at work? can you tell me how with security better than my bank ppl can still be hacked?

BUT most of all can you tell me how you have the cheek to ask for 250 ped for this gold card we should get it free after a two years for puting up with your political crap,

peace MA i hope your fulfill your dreams

i have only one thing to say the rich get richer the poor get screwed!

GC...stands up to 3 hours directly under an angle-poise lamp with a 60watt reflector bulb in it and still works

Reader...about a year's use 3 times a day before the batteries die or it conks out in my experience.

Asked MA about my reader when the batteries died; they said they'd send me a new one. Tried replacing the batteries anyway with a pair of CR2016's and it died again after 4 or 5 goes. Had to wait for the replacement

Oh yeah...small warning: The reader comes with a key-chain. DO NOT attach it to your keys; it will fill with fluff in a week if you keep it in your pocket and stop working. The chain is meant for hanging it on the wall

Oh yeah...something else crossed my mind in the hope MA development are reading this thread as avidly as the last one (though I know MA do not read threads and therefore won't be reading this):

Why is there a seperate option to buy a reader in the tt when readers are replaced free? And what happens when people have foolishly bought both the GC pack and the reader in the past...did they recieve 2 readers or did the PED drop into some bottomless pit?

The logic of having an option to buy a new reader escapes me, because if your reader has died you are not going to be able to get in-game to purchase one to replace it because you can't enter your GC code. You could get MA to deactivate your code I suppose...but something suggests to me that re-activating it might be a lengthy process involving re-calibrating the codes.

Way to extract extra PED from players who don't read the small-print or lots of people sitting out there with red faces and 2 readers?

Some people might buy an extra reader incase theirs ever did die out, that way they wouldn't have to wait for a replacement.

Service Terms - Replacement of faulty Gold Card or Card Reader

MindArk does not warrant that the Entropia Universe Gold Card security system descriptions are accurate, complete, current, or error-free. If the Entropia Universe Gold Card offered to you by MindArk is not as described, your sole remedy is replacement.

After you have accepted this offer you will be entitled to another three (3) Card Readers per year in the case that your Card Reader stops working due to an error. Even your Gold Card can be replaced in the case of flaws in the card, which make you unable to use it, though you will be entitled to no more than one (1) Gold Card per year.

PLEASE OBSERVE that in order to be replaced, broken items must be returned to:

MindArk PE AB
Jarntorget 8
413 04 Gothenburg
Sweden

If the item turns out to be functional, you will have to cover your shipment costs. If the item is proven to have malfunctioned MindArk will refund the shipment costs.
Does this include dead batteries?
