    I've started playing Entropia recently so I wasn't entirely sure if I was qualified to write a review but my brain hurts from reading some ofI've started playing Entropia recently so I wasn't entirely sure if I was qualified to write a review but my brain hurts from reading some of the negative reviews. Do not come into this game expecting to make money. I see a lot of people complaining about not making any money from this game, you have to remember this is a game made by a studio, of course it was not designed to make people money, they need profits for development and for upkeep of the servers. Yes there are people who have made money in this game but that is a small % of players. You will most likely not make money from this game nor should you expect to. That brings me to the other thing, depositing. This game doesn't hide the fact that you can purchase in-game currency for real money, if you don't like this real-money economy then this isn't the game for you, however in my humble opinion this isn't really a problem. You can deposit as much as you want to or nothing it is entirely up to you and what you want out of the game, I believe the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself, maybe meet some new people. I feel like when people look at this game somehow the sense of what a game is leaves their brain and they stop understanding how video games work and that is you pay for entertainment either by buying the game or in this case buying things in the game. In fact, this is how most MMORPGs work, and I find it funny that the same crowd who is putting this game down and overlooking it because of it's real money economy plays games like BDO which has predatory microtransactions, WoW where you can also buy in game money for real money and other microtransactions, EVE Online - same thing. And you cannot even withdraw anything from these games so everything you put in stays in unlike with Entropia.

    Now as for the game itself, it is really fun, you can start out by doing some of the early missions, there are a few things you can do mainly, hunting and mining. There is also trade and crafting but those two are a little more advanced. The game always has something to keep you busy, there are also PVP zones where you can battle other players, in some of these you can also loot players so make sure to keep that in mind, you can go to different planets and explore new locations, missions and activities there, there is also space where I haven't been to yet but there's a whole lot more content there as well as space stations etc. The UI is a little outdated although they have improved it over the years from what iv'e seen. You can level up professions and skills which will increase your proficiency within that particular field. So for example when you level up pistols you will be able to use them more efficiently, but there are also other skills that go into using them like aiming for example.

    Overall I think that people see this game very negatively for no good reason when it isn't much different from any of the other MMORPGs on the market right now.

That in itself says something about the longivity of this game! It has been a very entertaining and economically rewarding adventure. The game is not easy to master (warning it will take you more time than you spend in total on most other games) but if you have the patience it will give you possibilities, great experiences and a sense of accomplishment you won't find anywhere else in the gaming world. Especially suited for 'grinder' mentalities. Expand

I have played for 8+ yrs. & it has been an adventure watching the changes & growth happen. It is certainly more fun to deposit, but many have played for years without depositing. In EU, you can become a pilot who explores different planets or a pirate who attacks & collects bounty. You can hunt, mine & craft in hopes of a hall of fame win! You can trade or run a business or make investments. You can play solo & just enjoy the experience without interacting with others. But it is certainly more fun to meet & make friends among the unique citizens of EU. A good mentor & society will get you a great start to learning how to gain skills & expand your playing experience. A big part of EU is gaining knowledge, the intrigue keeps it exciting & new. Expand

    Played this game for a few years. Deposited and skilled weekly with the mindset that the game would take a small % of the money put in. NOTPlayed this game for a few years. Deposited and skilled weekly with the mindset that the game would take a small % of the money put in. NOT THE CASE. After the 2 years of playing "Smart" , I currently have 25% of the value I deposited. Take Take Take...is all the game does. Takes your time, money and patience from you and all you will have left is broken hopes and money that could have been spent on something more valuable in life, like a Gym membership. ANYONE THINKING THEY CAN MAKE MONEY IN THIS GAME FROM A SMALL DEPOSIT IS CRAZY. STAY AWAY!!! MINDARK the games owners introduce little bugs and glitches that make you have constant lag spikes and disconnects. These will kill you....making you respawn and allowing the mob to regenerate which then takes more ammo (ped) to kill. Please Just stay away. I have left feeling scammed and unappreciated after I supported the company these past years. Most of my friends in game have left too. Expand

Don't believe what some people say about making money off the game, you're going to have to put down some serious cash to even get started. Not to mention the horrible rng based system's everywhere.

It uses some of the most outdated and worst game mechanics that most modern MMORPG games have abandoned.

    The game uses an in game currency conversion, you can spend and earn real money in the game. The currency conversion is 10 to 1. 10 Entropia dollars is equal to $1.00 USD.

    The biggest issue with this is the game is designed in a way that disallows you from being self sufficient. The game has "jobs" and missions you can take on to progress in game, but the amount of loot you find or is dropped is never enough to actually support you. You will never be rewarded money or find it laying around.

    In order to play this game, you WILL have to spend money, I spent some time trying to farm some monsters, just out of the newbie zone; the rewards VS work ratio is terrible. The game developers even stated the game was designed to cost $2.00 an hour or so to play.

    Garbage game, garbage game mechanics, outdated style and game play and terrible real currency conversion system, stay away from this at all costs.
