Entropia Universe Planet Partner Concept

Planet Partner Equality Controversy

• Newly introduced systems, like instances for example, are regularly only available for Planet Calypso for a period of time before they become available for other planets too
• NEVERDIE Studios, developer of ROCKtropia, claimed that they first were not able to fully develop their planet due to not having access to system for creating features and content that has been seen on Planet Calypso long before already <original quote, link>
• Arkadia Studios, developer of Planet Arkadia, CEO David Dobson mention in an interview on Atlars Haven Radio that Planet Calypso can do things Planet Arkadia cannot do and that is something that needs to be addressed <original quote, link>
• Planet Arkadia is a planet focussed on "Treasure Hunting" as a distinctive feature and according to the marketing prior to release was supposed to have that feature on launch or shortly after. Unfortunately that feature did not arrive yet and probably will not arrive within the first year after launch. Since the development of features are the domain of MindArk one can only conclude that MindArk is responsible for the delay which deliberately or not leaves one of the planets that were believed to have a chance to contest Calypso's domination without its distinctive feature for more than the first year after its launch
• The Planet Partner concept features a number of shared assets available for all Planet Partner but due to the fact that these are first and extensively used by Planet Calypso are being regarded as Calypso content by many players and therefore can not be used by other Planet Partner without perceived negative connotation despite the Planet Partner have paid for them
• MindArk's 'own' Planet Calypso is placed in Space with a smaller distance to the planets considered most attractive (ROCKtropia and Planet Arkadia) and with a bigger distance to the considered less attractive Next Island while ROCKtropia and Planet Arkadia are placed with a smaller distance to Calypso and Next Island but with a bigger distance between ROCKtropia and Planet Arkadia themselves
• MindArk favourising entropiaforum.com who is to a large extent focussed on Calypso and not "all-universe". More information at Entropiaforum.com#Mindark_favouritism.
• MindArk employee's releasing platform relevant or "all-universe" relevant information solely on entropiaforum.com and/or PlanetCalypsoForum but not on Planet Partner websites or the offical Entropia Universe website
• The main page of the official Entropia Universe website featuring a banner link to information regarding Calypso Land Deeds but no banner link to information regarding any other specific planet
• The so-called "Citizenship program" is in fact tailored to compensate for MindArk's previously failed efforts to sell their shares of Planet Calypso. Like many other features the use Citizenship program has requirements set by MindArk that in this case are only met by 'their own' Planet Calyso
• Additionally the Citizenship program has obviously not been discussed with other Planet Partners and has not even been communicated to Planet Partners in another way than the announcements of MindArk employees on two privately owned commercial websites (entropiaforum.com and PlanetCalypsoForum)
