Nanocube Changes

In an upcoming Version Update several changes are being made to Nanocubes, outlined below.
 

• Nanocubes can no longer be purchased directly from the Trade Terminal.
• Nanocubes are now obtained by using the new Recycle tab in the Trade Terminal interface.
• Most items and resources can be recycled into Nanocubes, with a few exceptions: items sold at the Trade Terminal, non-tradeable items, and Shrapnel.
• Recycled items generate a stack of Nanocubes with a value equivalent to the item’s Trade Terminal value.
• Nanocubes can now be listed at auction.

These changes should result in a more healthy and interdependent economy, which will benefit hunters, miners, and crafters alike.

Introducing Entropia Unreal Tokens

This year’s Merry Mayhem event will feature the introduction of an exciting new lootable item!

Entropia Unreal Tokens can be looted from all creatures in the Merry Mayhem event instances. After the launch of Entropia Universe Unreal, the tokens can be converted to Entropia Unreal Shares on the Entropia Exchange. The Entropia Unreal Tokens will become tradable in early 2023.

Entropia Unreal Shares will receive revenue sharing based on all activity throughout Entropia Universe. The current plan is to release 1 million tokens/shares, with each share receiving an equal portion of 1% of MindArk’s revenu...

Entropia Enjin Collaboration

Ever evolving with new technologies, MindArk has been assessing recent blockchain developments and what they might offer to established virtual communities such as Entropia Universe. MindArk’s management team has determined that many of the recent gaming-related announcements in the blockchain space bear a lot of similarities to the experience that Entropia Universe has offered for nearly two decades, and thus large-scale integration of such technologies would not add significant value to the virtual universe experience.

There are, however, opportunities for targeted partnerships and system integrations which could extend the reach of Entropia Universe to new audiences, specifically enthusiasts of the “metaverse” and “play-to-earn” concepts that have received a lot of media attention recently. As such, MindArk has begun a collaboration with ...

MindArk is pleased to introduce Utrust as a new deposit method for Entropia Universe. Digital currencies through Utrust are now available to be used as a regular deposit method.

“Allowing our customers to use cryptocurrencies to deposit into their Entropia Universe accounts has been part of our long-term strategy. The Utrust system fits with our business model which facilitates fiat money transfers to avatar accounts.” – Henrik Nel, CEO.

With Utrust, Entropia Universe participants can now add funds to their avatar accounts using cryptocurrency. The unique real-cash economy of Entropia Universe allows participants to fund their avatars’ activities for entertainment or to build their own businesses inside the unique MMO game experience of Entropia Universe...

Notice

Like many of you, MindArk is saddened and angered by the unjustified and unlawful Russian invasion of Ukraine. 

The MindArk PE AB Board of Directors has therefore decided to indefinitely suspend all financial transactions to and from Russia. This includes disabling of new accounts from Russia, as well as deposits to and withdrawals from Entropia Universe by persons and/or entities located in Russia.

Later today, MindArk will be donating 50,000 USD to the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) to help Ukrainians in need due to the conflict. For more information about the UNHCR, visit: ...

User Interface Update Postponed

Due to changing priorities related to the development of the Unreal Engine 5 client, Mindark has determined that it is not practical to implement the previously-announced User Interface update in 2021.

The process of upgrading the current CryEngine 2 client User Interface has been taking a lot of resources and is somewhat risky with regard to the technical aspects, given the complexity of the old UI framework. The decision therefore has been made to focus on implementing significant UI improvements in Unreal Engine 5 instead.

The efforts made thus far on the UI upgrade project have provided many insights and highlighted areas for improvement, which will of course help guide our efforts in crafting the user interface for the Unreal Engine 5 client.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Estate Deeds Acquired in Record Time

Twenty-two minutes. That’s how long it took for all 800,000 deeds of New Treasure Island to be snapped up by eager Entropia Universe participants. The fortunate deed holders will now share in the revenue generated by activity on New Treasure Island, one of the most popular hunting destinations within the vast metaverse of Entropia Universe.

New Treasure Island deeds were first listed on the Entropia Exchange on December 1, 2021 at 11:00 UTC, at a price of 10 PED (1 USD) per deed. Within just over twenty minutes, the record-breaking deed offering was fully subscribed. 

Compare this to the Crystal Palace Space Station offering of 500,000 deeds in 2019, which took nearly 48 hours to complete. This makes New Treasure Island not only the largest, but also the fastest metaverse estate offering...
