Project Entropia?

[Dreamer128]

Does anyone here play Project Entropia? It seems to be a rather interesting MMORPG that has been around since 1995 (although the graphics are definately up-to-date) that has no subscription fee, but does have a real economy. (pay for what you buy) Since the virtual economy is linked to the real economy, it is possible to make a nice profit with clever ingame investments.

Anyway.. if you're interested: http://www.project-entropia.com/about/Index.ajp

It looks an interesting concept, especially the conversions between $s and PEDs, but it sure wouldn't be a good idea if you're bad at MMORPGs! The piggy bank would soon be empty! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Do you need to use money to get anywhere in the game, or can you just play the game normally, ignoring the real money aspect of it?

I don't know. But it wouldn't be logical to allow people to accumulate the local currency through quests. That would lead to people grinding the same quests over and over again for money.

A unique aspect of Project Entropia is that a player may elect to transfer PED back into real life currency, thereby enabling them to earn real money while playing an online computer game.

Yeah, I could definitely see that. That's a very interesting approach to the game, I might actually give it a try... Heh, it's a good thing City of Heroes doesn't do this, when you reach level 50 you basically have 36+ million influence. Imagine the possibilities...
