I have never heard of it. Ever.

Basically I would like to know (in more detail than MA provided, from someone who uses it), what does it do, why should I want it, how does it work, what benefit do I get from it?

Until I know why I should want it, I don't want it (whatever it is).

Call me a Luddite, if you will, but I don't collect computer programs for the sake of filling my HDD's.

I think it's some kind of 3rd party app - would like to know what it is too?

MindArk today announce cooperation with Xfire to offer existing Entropia participants the opportunity to install the Xfire application during Entropia Universe updates. With almost 9 million registered accounts worldwide, Xfire is a free tool that automatically keeps track of when and where gamers are playing PC games online and lets their friends join them easily. It works regardless of game type, server browser, or gaming service that a player is using. Xfire eliminates the hassles of running multiple programs like IRC or instant messengers to keep track of when and where gamer friends are playing.

A promotion campaign to highlight Entropia Universe to the Xfire user base is now beginning which will see a special developer's chat, prize giveaways, advertising on Xfire, its website and more. For more information about Xfire, please visit www.!!!!!!!!!!

Xfire was frowned upon when Seven discovered that when you crashed, it sent your username and password as part of the error file.

X-Fire Exposes Your Username and Password

And the subsequent discussion here

A major security flaw: username and password are passed openly

But with the new login procedure, I guess this has been solved.

Why is MindArk targetting people that arent even allowed to play EU ?

Now first all respect to the little handful of adult players, which EU'ers are, that actually found a use for Xfire, but Xfire users are mostly 15-17 year olds who uses it to brag about they got no real life, "look how many hours i've played" type of counterstrikers, EU EULA say's 18+ years.

Maybe it's time for a roadmap telling us older players what MindArks plan is with EU, first all the avatar changes to look young and smart, now targetting sub18 year olds.

Where is EU going exactly ?

If this thing creates more publicity and attracts more players to Entropia, that can only be a good thing imho.

But I get what you are saying. EU is getting more Barbie and Ken Dolls.

As for Xfire, I don't think MA thought about it too much. It is purely another cheap form of advertising now that they seemed to have plugged one of their security flaws.
