    EDIT; Rather not. The reviews are terrible.

    Entropia Universe is something that could have been a great game but the developers got greedy and wanted money so they made it f2p but with real life economy so basically you can buy 10 in game dollars for one us dollar, so its kind of impossible to enjoy the game unless you put $60 or more into it a month. You can also take money out so theoritcally you can actually make money from the game but very few people do and most just get addicted to the game and put all their money into it and end up bankrupt.

    If they simply made it P2P and took all the real life economy crap out and gave mobs proper drops then I would say its the best game in existence but I know that will never happen as they are making too much money for them to even consider doing that.
    It's all bullshit folks, it's all bullshit and it's bad for ya!

    dont say that about PE. What they did was pretty interesting and making money, especially with minings all luck, and players come up with their theories etc. You hear real success stories of noobs striking it big and pros who dont. Basically its almost close to real life, you get lucky and sometimes you dont. The concepts pretty cool as it was, but yeah to really get good in the game you gotta pump either lotsa money into the game, or a hell lotta time into it

    Nah man, he's right. The only way to gain in-game money in that game is a terrible mining system, where you pick up sweat or whatever. (Can't remember too great, since it was like over a year ago). Or if you use a lot of your RL money just to get somewhere in the game, and remain there. The in-game money gaining system is just slow, boring, and dull. Only if you put loaddddssss of your time into that, and do it consistently, will you strike a nice profit in-game.

    Otherwise, whip out the credit card and go loco.


    PS: To be on topic, play Second Life. I play it about 1-3 times a week, and it's pretty fun. If you really get something started, you can make good money in RL if that's what you like doing. Or make good money in SL, or whatever. It's not bad though, but not something you should spend your whole day playing. People say once you get dragged into SL, it really does become your first life rather than the name. It happens, so don't let it.
