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 The UI is a little outdated although they have improved it over the years from what iv'e seen.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.… Expand
