A Message from MindArk Regarding Coronavirus MindArk is following all Swedish government recommendations and is closely watching how the situation develops. We will take any steps we can to ensure the wellbeing of our employees while at the same time ensuring the availability of Entropia Universe. Ever since the outbreak was confirmed in Sweden, we have taken precautionary actions to minimize the risk that our employees become exposed, both for the sake of their wellbeing and to ensure that we can continue delivering Entropia Universe during this situation. One of those precautionary measures we have put in place is to encourage any employee that can do their work from home to do so. The vast majority of our employees have been working remotely since then. MindArk has a well developed infrastructure in place that makes this possible without jeopardizing our ability to develop, maintain and deliver Entropia Universe. The ability to remotely perform all important tasks relating to the availability of Entropia Universe is just part of the nature of providing a live service that is for the most part available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If it is expected that the COVID-19 outbreak will affect the availability of Entropia Universe, this will be communicated to the user base. No government mandated shutdown is in place in Sweden at the time of writing, nor are we aware of any such plans. Thank you all for your concern. I know it has been a while since I’ve last been able to engage with you here. Although I believe we’ve done a lot of good with Entropia Universe in the last year, one area I still strive to improve significantly is the continuous communication between us, MindArk, and the Entropia Universe community. To this end, we have recently hired a dedicated full-time community manager, who will not just engage with the community here on the forum and on other platforms, but will work to maintain continuous communication between developers and the community in new and creative ways. She will introduce herself to you all shortly. Be safe and take care. Henrik Nel MindArk CEO Source
"the vast majority of our employees" x'D Big lol at using Corona situation to say sorry for no communication at all...and introducing yet another community manager...you never fail to dissapoint. Go on ! ^^
Another one?!! Ah come on he must know how many times they tried this lie before. I remember Skam. Also MA said so many times they'll improve comms then go back to the cave.... still at least we have caves now.
But on the subject of Covid. I'm home working in the UK now but it is a Gov mandate that those that can, should. This on the back of 4 weeks of national strike action... I might go a bit looOOOoooOOOooooOOOoooney.....
are you germans ready for 9375 euro new debt for each single person from newborns to grandparents, to fight corona and its economy crisis? holy shit! (750 billions divided by 80 millions?)
ok some more accurate numbers ... showing current public debt increase per resident in germany and austria: keeping in mind what the ECB and the FED are planning, i see toiletpaper becoming more valuable than papermoney in the near future.
PS: the troll-of-the-day award goes to .... *drumroll* . . . https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...y-statement-from-MA-regarding-covid-19-corona
3 million US americans applied for unemployment payments in the last week, nearly 1% of their population, and the real shit has just started...
in 2.5 weeks the austrian unemployment rate increased 4.7% to 12.2% total - a historic maximum that never happened since 1946
Yup phun times ahead for the population of planet earth. I've just found out I sit somewhere in the middle between medium and high risk. Hospital seemed happy that I'd been more of less at home for about 6 weeks already though X'D
