Sharing Virtual Items - a Wise Decision?
5 Apr 2007

The Entropia Universe does not include a feature for the secure sharing of virtual assets. Even if you feel you can trust a person you meet within the virtual universe, we recommend NOT lending items without a corresponding guarantee – unless you are prepared to lose the item for ever.

Please note that MindArk PE AB cannot assist you if you lose items this way, as our log files show no indication of theft and all trades within the Entropia Universe are final.

Therefore, before lending your valuables to someone else, please do think twice. Do you know this person in real life, or is the persons true identity unknown to you?

It has been completely up to MA to implement lending system.
Really heartwarming to post stuff like this instead of fixing the root problem :p.

How about logging chat windows that are initiated when P2P trade is initiated? Players could make whatever verbal contract right there, and you'd have a record of it at MA if the need of arbitration came up later.

MA could always ADD a "feature for the secure sharing of virtual assets". Then such shring could be automatic and not require the attention of your support staff.

This has been asked for so so many times now. The answer everytime is, MindArk has no plans to implement such a feature.

Ooh I know that guy, he took my armour to color it black, a very nice guy indeed. Just so funny when he thoght out the most funny joke ever, standing outsida a hangar waiting for someone to try to use it and demand money.

Know him too, hope he soon give me the Vigi back. (Oooh Shadow then)



You know who you trust, and make sure they DON'T SCAM YOU!. =)
Know them first, before you trade them.

Exactly! You want something, buy it. It isn't MA responsibility to provide you with ways to borrow good gear. Why do people always want things without paying for them???

People should be thankful MA even lets you make money by sweating.

Deposit! Deposit! Deposit!

Even if I know someone IRL its not said that he is trustfully enough to give him a MOD FAP or a LA/Hangar Deed.
Friendship ends when to much money is involved.

A lending system is an urgent demand in EU!
