Entropia Universe, the most expensive 'game' on the planet...

From EntropiaUniverse.com

Yes...Entropia Universe, the game in which someone paid $100,000 for a virtual space station (for news article click here). I got sucked in for the first time about 6 months ago, it was called 'Project Entropia' then. With the allure of making REAL MONEY in a game...Entropia Universe has a unique system where you can withdraw 10 PEDs (Game Dollars) into 1 USD ($1), so if you have 1,000,000 PEDs you could withdraw them and make $100,000 of solid cash. Sounds good? I thought so... After about a week of playing my character had made little if any progress. I was beginning to see why the developers (Mind Ark) said it wasn't a game, it wasn't any fun! All I could do was sweat gather (what newbies do to make PEDs) and sell the sweat I got to other players to make tiny amounts of money. I gave up...it was surely impossible to make any kind of money in that game.

Well, after a month I came back...Entropia Universe WAS more than a game, you could do ALOT of stuff (for trailer on EU click here). I decided to deposit some money into the game. So deposit I did, I put $20 into the game and got 200 PEDs, ALRIGHT! I spent that money in a flash on new armor, probes, and equipment (I was an enmatter miner). Within a DAY all that money was gone, and I had barely gotten anywhere. I had gained a bit of skills but not much, I couldn't do anything but sweat gather until I deposited again, and sweat gathering for a week would only make you about 20 PEDs, that's just $2...so I decided to deposit AGAIN! In went another $20 and I decided to use it for ammo and go hunting...it lasted alot longer than it did when I was mining, but within a few days it was gone and I was broke. It is impossible to actually make a profit when you have low skills. I put another $20 in and hunted some more...within a week I had spent $60 and had gotten NOTHING back.

After talking with some people I realized this was normal, there is a complex looting system in place to ensure people can't make more money than the company is recieving in deposits (I won't explain it all here, it would be too long). Well, I decided enough was enough...but now I am back and going for the point where I can finally stop depositing while I pump money into the game and get nothing back...if any of you are tempted to play feel free to let me know and I could help you out in the game, I have gotten fairly decent. You can't message people unless they are on your VIP, so just send me a PM here on the Forums with your characters name and I'll try and contact you. And yes, I am still depositing lots of money...I just paid 100 PEDs ($10) for a HAT in the game. ...and it isn't even very fun...

This looks interesting! I think Im gonna try it!

But is it possible to make any money without depositing? I mean, I dont want a profit! Just a little to use instead of depositing?

Last year it was just Habbo, now this and Second Life...

This one is worse, it's really really for-profit.

its consts moeny? "real life founds" => Site, wtf? lol
i really dosent understand that
/\ "Free to download" /\ "Real life founds" /\

NoMore

Something that should be told about Entropia Universe and its maker
Entropia Universe

Wel it isnt a news that Mind Ark is making money by attract people with small profits from time to time. If you hunt you may get some loots, if you mine , you may find some precious stones.

You can also scamm newplayers at the sweatcamp or trade items amount the players to make some profits.



Those elements are all quite common in real life. I can live with them. But there is one thing in Entropia Universe that I consider unacceptable -> PvP sone.



I cant believe that a game company goes that low to make profit from players. They openly admit PvP sone is made for players who want gain more profit. Because in PvP sone you can kill and loot other human players.



This is a theme that we are qutie familair in those man-hunt Hollywood movies. Some poor homeless guy signed up for the man-hunt then they got shooted by rich folks with big guns.



Mind Ark states that everyone goes inside the PvP sone are agreed to play that game. But most of the players don't realise they are not signing up to be the hunters, they are signing up to become the prey.



If you think longer enough , there is only one hunter here, that is Mind Ark.

About PvP
Entropia Universe

Hi.

This is in regards to..Jingyi's slandering of the PvP system.

First off NOT all the PvP zones are lootable and the ones that are lootable have big red warning messages come up. And you can't wander into there, you have to buy and take a toxin shot. When you walk in there, you agree that you can be looted. There are arena's and zones that you can't loot people in, so for a PvP experience in Entropia, go to them.

Just please don't slander something you have no idea about.

Black Holes
Entropia Universe

A High Tech view of the Black Holes in Science today, was the Hell in the Bible. Similar descriptions.

With High Tech Science, when a Sun gets out of Balance of Elements it Dies, and so does it's Solar System. When a Galaxy of Solar Systems get out of Balance they Die.

When a Universe of Galaxies gets out of Balance, it Collapses into a Black Hole, regenerates and explodes into a new Big Bang, and makes a new Universe.

This is how High Tech Science Humans have Eternal Physical Life After Birth. With their High Tech they can escape their Planet, Solar System, Galaxy, and Universe, and travel to another Universe.

This also proves there is more than One Universe, for all the Black Holes our Science can find today.
