New Features Introduced a new Company Shares System where players will be able to buy, sell, and manage shares of companies which control land areas in the future. Interaction text location can now be tweaked by players via Horizontal Offset and Vertical Offset sliders in Options - Gameplay Changes Out of bounds timer has been changed from 10 seconds to 5 seconds. Easter Mayhem creature loots have been tweaked slightly. Separated the Revive Terminal and Exit Teleporter in the Easter Mayhem instances. The size of the Easter Mayhem Defense boundary has been reduced. Fixed Issues H-DNA can no longer be used while out of bounds in instances. Radar scrambling can no longer be circumvented. Fixed an issue where the inventory window did not remember which section was last open. Closing the Trade Terminal interface will now close the Inventory window it opened. Players can now immediately adjust their camera after a camera effect. Fixed an issue where players occasionally could not fire their weapon in Battle Simulator. Fixed an issue where Items in placed in Space Craft Engineering Window were displayed as having a value of 0.00 PED regardless of their TT value. The interaction text for harvesting now correctly says “Harvest”. Interaction text is no longer incorrectly displayed when hovering your cursor above your name. MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

Company Shares System....? Is this another MindArk cash grab or...? Ought I to be interested in this or did some Swede get inspiration from the forthcoming Uber stock issue?
After completly ruining Land Areas by adding areas of supposed unique mobs everywhere on calypso (example of armax close to scylla and so many others), after stealing mobs which were supposed to be owned by special owner (like frescoquda, hogglo, letomie supposed to be owned by the treasure Ilsand buyer = Deathifier's unique creatures property by mindark official statement, just like the feffox also), after completly ruining the landscape of some LAs by adding disgusting hills like the Nea's LA (and where MA pretend they never modified anything lol, please rename your company to "liars and co"), now there are companies which control the LAs ? what a fucking joke... So they volontarily kill the owners by ruining their investments, and now they ask the players to buy shares lol... The vicious circle of scams over scams over scams... in the swedish tradition... There should be a guinness book data for this, you'll win. This new CEO is full of ideas for new money pits... (and fill up his pockets). I guess he was not informed this is supposed to be a game at 1st place. Old family of scammers left, new ones arrive. the ark of the mind... fuck this camera shit, worst vu ever.
Maybe just artificial method to raise declining LA prices by adding wider range market with a lot of potential small buyers which could be easily manipulated.
My guess it is about this, and expanded a little further. http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/f...-DEED-SALE-Gamasutra&highlight=crystal+palace Maybe they did not get to a agreement, and came up with this shares thing.
There will be both : CP deeds & "buy into LAs"...so its 2 cash cows at once, for the weak minded, loyal patrons out there... http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/crystal-palace-deeds.22297/page-5
"in the future"... nuff said. sometime never (although indeed it is likely to do with the "gone silent" CP sale thingy)
That's exactly what I assumed it was. Land owners will now be able to sell shares of the LA which probably will entitle shareholders to a share of the profits, similar to how CLDs work.
If I owned any LA, I wouldn't sell any shares for sure. Unless it's a useless LA at a crappy spot or so Anyway, not interested here, they can have it.
IT'd be a great way to free up some PEDs, though. Like if you'd be interested in buying another LA, CLDs, or perhaps just want to withdraw a chunk of cash, without being forced to sell the LA.
