If you�d like to purchase upgrades and virtual goods, or if you�d like to sell your harvests and in-game creations, the exchange rate is fixed at 10 Ped to a dollar.

You need real life cash, hands down to get anywheres in this game. Unless you are one of the lucky players that has other players carrying you, you are golden in this one.

The quests are very few and are repetive as hell. they award very little for Xp to level and the quest rewards are barely worth anything at all. You have to walk everywheres. I seen mounts but they are purchased with real life cash, and the only players, I seen, that had them where higher level players. The world is massive so you will get mobbed by things higher then you going from point A to point B, and the mobs are all mixed togeather. from level 7 to level 11’s, pending your level.

The only reason I give it a 2 is the graphics are nice, and the music in some places plays good background music. I went into the bank one time in game and Metallica was playing as background music. I could hardly beleive it. The kid loves Metallica and she perked right up when she herd it. Tis why I reconized the background music.

well, when you start out the game, u start with nothing, not even a gun or a sword or an armor! oh wait! an player tells you “go sweating” well… what is that? well it is a skill used for proffesions, and therefore u can sell the sweat and get money! woho! u earned ur first pennys in 2 days.. NOW u can buy a gun but wait! NO AMMO! glarh! u go farming sweat for additionally 2 days, and buy ammo! now u can go out there and kill enemys! but… in like 2 hours ur ammo is out! u have to buy more for the things u got from the hunt, wich u hoped to get a new weapon or a cool clitschy armor for, but nooo, ammo…

well, as u can see, the start is pretty.. annoying, booring and worthless, if u dont got a mentor to provide u with ammo and stuff. when u get lucky and find like an speciall treasure from a enemy with like 100 money, then the game starts=P

everything else is like, great! especially the deep economical system! u can take out money from the game, and put irl money into the game! u can get a job, make a house, and stuff! it is just awesome! i recommend this game to the ppl with a great patience! it will be worth it i promise! ^^

i love this game, but had to quit, due to a lot with school, and i had to reformate my computer, and i lost my pass, and now i dont have time.. i love this game though!

Entropia Universe has numerous professions, such as:

_Avatar Beauty_
includes: hair styling, body & face sculpting.

_Crafting_
crafting, manufacturing weapons and tailoring.

_Mining_
mine for enmatter and/or pretty much all over the universe.

_Hunting_
self explanatory, kill kill kill the mobs out there!!! 🙂

_Mindforce_
Gather sweat and nexus to gain various skills and profit. 🙂

_Taming_
Certain animals in EU are tameable and can become a pet. Different sizes as well. Can also make a profit.

I am not downing any other games ..btw, I’m sure people view their own games they love in this same fashion, but this one for me is tops!

So, again, if ya want a good challenging game this one is for you. If you love doing a variety of things with your character/avatar in a game this one is for you. If you want to invest in a game that will give you a profit in return this also is a game for you.

Happy EU’ing… 😉

Hunting
Go to camp pheonix or ask for help to get there

Mining
Aquire Enough money though trading (buy low sell high), sweating, or other activities then buy all the needed suplies.

Crafting
I do not recomend this as it requires alot of PED, but does pay out alot in the end.

The graphics are ok and it is possible to make money, because I do. If you are trying to make money off a game GET UP AND GET A JOB AT MCDONALDS, BECAUSE PLAYING A GAME WITH LAZERS DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE YOU MONEY TO SUPORT YOURSELF AND EVEN WORSE A FAMILY. Some people have made it big. If you have trouble instaling look up a guide online (It dosent take a genius to use GOOGLE). The comunity is nice and there are some scammers so watch out (like in all other online games). If you want a game that’s all violence then go get an x-box or PS3 and knock urself out with X-BOX live. I do infact recomend this game. The reason it works is because people who have no idea what there doing spend money and then complain about it right here in reviews like these. So I urge you before you get mad and quit, find a guide or help. Stick with it a while and maybe you might have fun. Also dont waste all your money on armour in the begging.

I played this game for a while now and being a student i have little (or no) money left. (i somtimes forget wether im broke or just plain old poor). many player recommended i started my vharacter by sweating and buying new equipment and armour, after 3 weeks of draining sweat of some stupid ass combibos (warhog/pig/anteater, things) that looked identical and gave me grief every time i came like 20 meters neer them, i finnaly got the first armour and weapons i needed, heres the problem, to get good at using guns you need ammo whitch requires money, witch you get from sweating (witch isnt fun). also to get good you need to shoot the same animals you have been sweating for the past month or so.

overall the graphics are very repetitive (notice the screenshot only shows the sky), the gameplay is repetetive and even thou the community is good, your more likly going to have more fun with runescape or habbo hotel. (also crap)

this game is ment to have “real time economy, with real money, and real commerce” and you hear from other players “oh yeh my bros m8, has a char that has like over £1,000,000 peds and plays the market n stuff” all the time. many other games on the internet claim to have “real time economy” but the game delevopers of this game just feel greedy.

I warned you…

As i was reading through the more recent comments i noticed a few things
for starters, the graphics.
Indeed, the graphics are not mindblowing. Bur renember this game is from 2003, so what did you expect. ofcource Mindark (the fella’s that drain my PED card most of the time)knows this to, thus they have decided to rebuild Entropia to run on the CryTec2 engine, so that issue will be solved shortly (if those guys do their jobs that is).

Next is the ever keeping complaining about Mindark being a bunch of scammers, wich is totally true.
But they to have to make profit in some way, and things like a new engine aint cheap either, so yes, they scam us bigtime. But who gives, as long as you play for fun and dont intend to make money from it, whats the big deal, every hobby costs you money. you just got to know what your limits of spending are.

I’ve been playing for over a year now, and have no intend of stopping. In the time I spent there I lost loads of money, but also gained loads of valuables. When i calculate the value of my account it sums up to just about as much as i have put in.

I made loads of friends in entropia, and find it common to find myself having a good time just by standing still and chatting with my friends, wich is totally free.

I manage to play entropia for 20 USD a month, wich is just as much as i spend on a normal night in the pub

good:
– normal graphics, soon to change to mindblowing graphics
– Great community
bad:
– costs loads of money, but that shouldnt be a problem if you play for fun and know your limits

It is true that this game is extremely pointless without investing hundereds or thousands of USD into the game, but what many people do not realize is that if you join a decent organization/guild/clan/whatever you want to call it, they will be more than happy to take you out on hunting trips and teleporter runs and share the loot with you. Though I no longer play this game due to the sheer amount of time it takes to play, and doing countless other beta tests I stuck around for around 4months.

Throughout this time I had joined a good organization, and had decent hunting skills from their help in getting money to buy gear. One member even gave me a set of armor worth roughly $50 USD. My suggestion for the game. If you want to get the most out of it with the littlest amount of work be ready to invest a ton of time and money into it. The game isn’t called the most expensive game out there for anything. Note the man who invested roughly $1,000,000 (thats million for those who can’t read numbers) USD and has turned out 10x that in land taxes alone.

This game is intended to be a full time job of sorts. I know many poeple in game who make their livings solely off of the game. so for those of you who are complaining about it being a bad game…quit…cause ya’ll didn’t do any research into the point of it. It is true that the graphics suck and there is a bit of server lag because of there being 1 server for a land area roughly the size of WoW when including both Entropia continents and the entire outer space region, but what idiot would complain about that though if they can invest their life saving and just sit back and do nothing while they make thousands in game if they played there cards right.

Be forewarned, if interested in investing into this game to make a living, don’t put everything in at first. Invest little by little until you get a good feel for the workings of the game and a good feel for the economy itself. The games economy is just like a real one, especially considering the currency in game is globally recognized and accepted if you have the PED card and the ingame economy itself has its own recessions and inflation and such.

if your like me and wont do that then think again about playing this game, yes its free but to get anywhere you have to put money in, even your armour weapons get damaged which costs money to repair, and the only way to get money is to get sweat from animals and to sell it, its the most boring part of the game.

the landscape looks nice, but the game itself well sucks, so if you wanna put all your cash into this game then give it a try but if you want an entertaining game then this is not it

Of course not everyone in the game is rich, just like the ‘real world’ economy the game is based on you will always have a lot more peasants than kings.

If you have no patience or are young in the mind, stay away from this. — If you are up for quite a challenge .. almost like a new life after work give this a shot 😛

If you don t pay real money for ingame credits, you can t get anywhere.
