EU sanctions against Russia

As a person playing a Russian Developed Game, Host in Germany, and living in America... This has been a conversation for a while for us.....

 

What has MA done in the past with trade bans? My guess here is that MA will do nothing more since they can't really do anything with the current system in place. If anything the users would have to be on a temp ban. But again way to much work on MA's part to go through each and every account manually.

Also since this isn't all that big of a game there wouldn't be all that much effect I would think and MA would just over look this until forced to do something?

Edit: But a good source to get any good answer to this would be to pass this question onto the A-Team.

 

The sanctions are defined for several special industrial and monetary branches. No need to fear about this little game. The EU will not hurt EU ;-)

 

OK here is a question... if I hosted a website in america... lets say oh I dunno, something like ped2click? Would I be obliged to somehow block Cuban IP addresses?

I'm fairly certain this sort of thing would only apply where physical things are actually being delivered to physical addresses or, as Jamira said, certain financial services

 

from my knowledge my websites are not in any way blocked for Cubans when I used a American host. But do know that there is always someone listening, so I moved my sites to Germany. But from people I know who have been to cuba, they say the percentage of internet laden people is less then 1%, for the most part only in the capital would anyone even consider it. For the most part phone service out of the capital at most hotels isn't even available. The do stuff the old fashioned way.. they use land lines and modems if they are do get there.

as for Cuban cigars actually it isn't as nearly as bad of a thing as it was 20 years ago. Sure you can't buy them here but they are around. go to Mexico or Canada and just bring them back with ya (Via car) and nobody will bother you. We also bring back Canadian beer btw which is not exactly legal...

 

Around 2007, MA officially banned a whole bunch of IP adress ranges from Romania, because of some really bad fraudulent things going on.

Yes they can xD

 

Their investors will decide...maybe russian investors ? ;D

 

Oh Ok be interesting to see if anything does happen..lets hope not.

 

I be more afraid of what will hapen when Putin trys to makes his own internet ... heard something about that?

 

I really don't care about consequences of possible future internet restrictions. What I do care for is that it'll become probably a damned RL-war again in Europe! I'm not sure, if the west knows or can imagine how Vladimir Putin ticks. So I suspect they, the USA and the members of Europiean Union (NATO), act like blind fighters atm.

We have had really, really enough wars in Europe during the last 250 years! And we had a time of peace of nearly 70 years after WW2 here meanwhile (Okay, Kosovo 1999 ... but it was a local conflict only). I am not sure if our current governments are prepaired for a battle with a new "Fuerer". Remember how it went, when France and especially Mister Chamberlain from GB started the "policy of appeasement" in 1938. Hitler got a charter to start with his plans to conquer the world. I don't want to compare Putin to Hitler. I want to say: those guys are unpredictable.

And that's my fear atm. Not if Entropia Universe will be affected by current conflicts and restrictions, not if the internet will be affected. Crazy times, even ... again.

P.S. Better live in crazy than in boaring times? The other side of the coin ;-)

 

Like the catholic church in the 3rd Reich in Germany during the 30th? LOL! Everything that belongs to the communnity is directly connected to the political issues around us.

Your pretty nice online-game (Entropia Universe) would immediately vanish if it comes to to war in Europe (MA sits in Sweden, a small and relative unimportant country = consequences to the game). Don't start political threads if you don't want political debates!
I still can't barely understand how folks, like you Razer, can ignore this simple issue. You must be from USA than, right? ... or Mars ... wich is the same, I am afraid ...

 

... and correct "out" to "our" btw

 

Only time will tell......However, IMO I predict a whole load of nothing will happen.
