MMORPG.com Entropia Universe Correspondent Arno Laurman writes this look at the city of New Oxford, existing within the Mindark's virtual world of Entropia Universe.

What do a 10-story high reindeer statue, a medieval ship, a clothing store, a bank and several real life art galleries have in common? Well for starters they can all be found in a city called New Oxford on Planet Calypso in Entropia Universe. A virtual city that offers a combination of virtual and real items, clothes and paintings for sale, meaning you buy a virtual painting for your apartment in game and can also receive the real item at your home address. Recently, it also hosted its first participant created art exhibition which was a great success. Below you'll find a short tour through this city and what you can expect.

Doesn't stop this game from being the biggest scam on the net.

How is EU a scam? I have played it for close to 4 years now, and even though I have mixed feelings with how things are dealt with from MindArk's side, I will hardly call it a scam!

You can risk to run into participants that try to scam you though, but why would the company that need you as a customer try to scam you? That doesn't make any sense at all. And furthermore, almost all of the comunity are grownups and mature which reflect in their behaviour. The rotten eggs are waay outnumbered and can easily be avoided by reading up on forums and getting a mentor and/or soc. to give you advice etc.

And after the Cry2 update we will also get some eyecandy to replace the "old" graphics for those that value scenery.

 

Have a nice day.
