It's beautiful and intriguing and the social aspect can be a blast. That being said, you'll start out on Calypso exploring and having fun and quickly realize to do anything significant in the game you need to spend a lot of money. Most MMO's have a subscription of $20 per month on average. In Entropia Universe everything costs money--every bullet you shoot must be bought. Every stitch of armor, clothes, gun, tool--it all costs realworld money and it DECAYS as you use it. A decect set of armor which might last you a month of playing will cost about $30. A decent gun will cost you $10 or $20 and burn out in a couple days of playing and be useless junk. Every time you pull a trigger it costs you a penny or more on average. Big beautiful world, but really nothing mroe than a giant online casino (don't fool yourself). The most disappointing aspect is--a real casino will comp you drinks, dinner and a hotel room for way less than what you spend in Entropia with no reward. If you can afford to blow $100 per month inside a video game--you'll have fun in Entropia. But, most people play for years and spend thousands only to realize there is no real reward for playing. The loot is decent for about an hour after you deposit and fades to a 50% loss on each outing after that. The loot was good once upon a time (useful items, cool guns and armor) now it's mostly crap you exchange for PEDs at terminals. There are people in this game spending $1,000 per month--it's crazy--and you'll see them "globalling" in the chat. However, you'll likely get nothing similar and be frustrated unless you deposit $1,000 or more. Let me add one more caveat!!! They brag about it being a real cash economy and that you can withdraw your money if you "need extra cash" LMFAO. They don't pay out. They take your money in realtime, but wait months (if ever) to pay your withdrawal request--and the skills you build are worth money, yes--but you need empty skill chips to sell them. Empty skill chips cost more than the skills you would put in them and they only drop as loot to big players who then control the market for them at auction. All in all a beautiful world they've created, but a cash-sucking vortex--BEWARE.… Expand
