    Entropia Universe Android App Released

    MindArk is very excited to announce that Virtual Tycoon, the very first Entropia Universe mobile application, has been released on the Google Play app store today.
    Virtual Tycoon gives players full access to the Construction system, the Auction system, Storage, Accounting, Avatar Skills and Professions, and Hall of Fame information. One of the most exciting features is the ability to craft and auction items from your Android mobile device. With full access to storage and all the details of the items contained therein, colonists always know what they have to sell and what they need. This amazing overview includes all blueprints, and even has a helpful sorting functionality to assist players in finding the blueprints most suitable to craft at the moment.

    "We are in a world where people are constantly on the go and they always have mobile devices with them," said David Simmonds, CEO of MindArk. “Since Entropia Universe is non-stop as well, players need access to their characters and accounts whenever and wherever. In short, this is the first step in making the Entropia Universe experience available when away from the computer.”

    To download Virtual Tycoon directly, visit the Google Play App store on your Android mobile device at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindark.eu.virtualtycoon

    The Apple iOS version of Virtual Tycoon will also be released very soon, stay tuned!

    Great to see peoples enthusiasm but can we please take it easy with the multiple posts? Use the edit function and add to your post instead of just posting multiple times. There's been an increasing instance of it lately and so we are going to start being more strict on Rule 3A and begin merging posts.

    Is it possible to use Gold card? I'm a bit concerned about using passwords for a RCE game on Android platform. Maybe a bit paranoid.

    I downloaded it to my phone, didn't work though. Then I downloaded to my Android Tablet at home, worked really good. Did find only one small bug, when you but stuff in auction it doesn't show in your crafting gui if u use "back". I needed to go out to menu and then back into crafting gui for it sto show. No big issue.

    Another issue I find bigger and more interesting to discuss is the benefit an Android user will get over an PC user at a big update where you can loot new BP's. I guess you can be up and running much quicker with the Android app compared to the PC app where you have to download GBs of new graphics.

    That is indeed a very interesting point you raise. I'd be ver interested in a good discussion on this. Might be worth a thread of its own?
