I feel like a rich Excentric Entropian Distant Uncle has just died

wow ... MA pulled out their ... heh ... pencils .. anyway, good to see a reply FINALY! And GOOD YOU POST THIS. Damn ...

 

It leaves me dry

Its a mess......

I didn't realize till just after Christmas what they were doing - I was under the illusion they were fixing it all until I took a closer look at what they were doing.

I was offered zero peds for my 20-30K shop - the shop was the cheapest shop 20ped a month with the highest item points 180 others had 150 or so,

The shop was the best valued shop in the game - 20ped a month was huge and was loved...

I looked deeper at what MA was doing and it was bordering on criminal.

I've been mad as hell and well quite frankly astonished at the way they do things - I would never deposit or trust these people again. After my skam of the hanger I managed to find my face and get over it - possibly loosing $10,000 at todays value - but now they want the rest of what I have. I am completely fucked off and Eu will be forgotten and never mentioned in RL again.......

I'm getting out of this casino.. Will post my inventory later.

I wish you all well on your journey, This is not a game - its a constant support nightmare - no fun and far too expensive....

 

Why am I not surprised?

Merow?

* HUGGLES *

^.^

I was not quite so smacked by the whole shop thing except for the downtime -.- My new shop is quite fab except for the item count

 

What a sinking mess & why....

Havernt MA replaced your original small shop with a large shop - and the opposit to me and possibly others - so you get a positive - but others get a negative.

Now i see the rents have gone up - you will have to pay 100 a month for 150 points - but I get a small shop with 180 points and pay 50p a month.

These people really dont know what there doing - imagin 5-10 other planets with problems - They carnt even replace a simple thing such as this.

Looks to me that marco has to ask MA all the time to do things - FPC doesnt have any staff - its just another desk on the same office floor.

Will other planets have to ask MA everytime they need to make a decision and will support have to cope with an every incressing number of support tickets from different planets with different problems. God help us all...

Marco apparently sold Buzz a Million ped Space station + 4 LA's - thats 2 million ped right, + merry mayhem - so they should be able to balance there books now - selling Virtual things worth 1 cent for $300,000 is quite an achievement - But they muddle and conspire to not give us or pay us for the estates we had - and now we find they have put up the rents all laid out in advance - the support new the rent but it was forgotten to be told to the estate owners - who own the property and paid real $ for.

What a mess this is and all for one reason - to take or reduce the value or the money we have in the game. They are trying to decay us + charge more at the same time. Why else would they concoct a mess from a simple thing.

I have had no reply either yet - They said they would reply on monday.

Nice Kitten, I'm pleased for you - You have 1 large shop now... in place of your small one. This is such a mess, The shop offered to me is a small shop with a large shop stats.

Max guests: 50
Item points: 180
Fee: 20

So they just swapped the shops about - large shops are now small and small shops large - what the hell is the point in all this.

I had that shop for 4 years - we did events in the caves, we had parties, we were residents, paying the rent and looking to a future - Now, for no particular reason they mess it up and then make it all complicated, creating a negative atmosphere, poor reputation, frustration, unnessarry turn around decisions, what a stupid waste of time.

I'm also sick of whining on about it - but people wouldn't find out what's going on if we didn't - The rent thing was altered, looks to me because someone noticed - as it was policy that the rent was higher.

Please keep checking the thread below, it is hoped they will eventually put all to right - I havernt had any of my problems addressed yet - its all been, yes were looking into it.

The items points - shouldn't of been a mess
The rent shouldn't of been a mess
Allocating small shops to players with large shops - is not just.
The trade back idea works well for the tomb shops as they were never sold or traded - but for the other shops this doesn't fit.
The length of time the Tomb shops were missing is terrible, I didn't realize your plight, 3 years is ridiculous - that level of frustration must of been extremely unpleasant.

rant over

I only have one shop? I used to have a booth which was traded for the shop.

Only bad part so far is I am all alone upstairs O.o the only other claimed shops up there are both own by lady hawke and I dont remember her two shops ever being opened just sit on investments I think.

 

Good Luck

Are Sorry Kitten,

Was for some reason getting you & Trance mixed up - I amend my post....

Good Luck

hello neighbours, just to drop by and saay hello, my shop just open, is on the second floor shop # 12,

 

Good Luck

No worries ^.^ I think I got a bigger one because of how long we had the shop and keep it active but who knows how they did those picking I have no clue.

and hihi back 2nd floor neighbor XD

 

I am so very disappointed in mindark for doing this to thorkel shop owners. And I even felt guilty for having my shop work out so super well.

* huggles to twister *

I really want this mall to be a great success with many happy shops with their nice items in and out of the way place like it is.

hopefully this cost is fixed or something MAJOR happens in oxford to make it a center for new players and old to make it worth all this.

Feeling sad over this

Kitten

 

So sorry to hear of everyone being messed around like this. I hope to hear that things work out fairly for everyone. I think well populated malls are such a cool part of Entropia. One of the first things many noobs do is go wandering around the malls. I remember going through the tomb shops in my first week, buying a few bits of pixie armour. It all added to the sense of wonderment that EU was a world of possibilities.

I still think the Auction system should be limited so not all items are sold there (increasing usefulness of shops) and I'd like to see shop owners have the ability to bundle items into packages (ie armour sets, weapon and amp combo's, clothing sets etc) which would add alot more value to shops.

I'm still positive for the future....but I hate seeing people treated unfairly like this.

 

definately, for me this is one crucial factor that kills the pretence of a real economy, as there the "state" effectivly kills any possible competition in trading. Auction should be limit to stackable materials, or only allow 1 ped SB on items. As it is the auction is a giant, access anywhere shop and shops serve little purpose.
