Maybe it's just me but i thought that video really sucked. Titts and violance dont make a good video, neither is it enough for a good game. But it's a good start atleast.

Somehow i was expecting snow, not more of those ruins.

Ha, you are no match for: 

I'm probally gonna give AoC a second try after that wow expansions comes out.

I'm actually gonna watch, never seen vanguard so it might be interesting. GL mate.

Hi guys,

 

 

About Entropia Universe

Its a Sci Fi mmo game which is based on a Real Cash Economy. During 2007, the Entropia Universe Platform provided a secure and stable means for $400m of user-to-user transactions. With in the region of 800,000 players signed, there are alot of players of which who deposit and play this game. The game is free to play but you can also deposit too. Some would say its quite difficult to play if you plan on playing for free, but what you have to remember is because this game is based on real cash all items within it is worth real money. Money doesn't come easy just as in real life.

To access higher level content the game is not free. You can make some money but you have to be really patient and build up your skills/money for stuff.

There are 3 main professions of which enable you to Hunt, Mine and Craft all giving the potential of looting items worth PEDs (ingae currency) which is easily interchangable with real cash - 10 PED = $1 and stays at that fixed rate. There are people ingame who kill creatures ingame and loot 20,000 PED's on a daily bases (different people of course), thats $2k real us. You can pk in this game, there are various events held ingame by players and also Mind Ark (the game creators) as well, where they give huge prizes. Last year they gave away the deed to Land Area and Land Area ingame is worth $30k + real US that is. You're probably wondering why someone would pay that much - well you can actually earn PED's and hence real cash from owning land. I'll mention a little more about this later.

Don't forget the Beauty profession. You will have to deposits thousands of dollars to get started and establish yourself. But this is normal because beauty is not advertised as one of the main professions. The people who are getting 20,000 PED kills are not hunting mobs at the sweat camps. They are depositing thousands of dollars, sometimes daily, to get small HOFs(200-500ped). You can participate in PvP in this game but you will have to deposit large amounts of money for armor, ammo, weapons, and skills.

Real estate requires larger deposits of money and if the game suddenly shuts down you will not be able to get your money back. Mindark is not responsible for money lost in this game.

 

What makes this Unique?

As i mentioned many people deposit in the game. And what's great about this game in comparison to other mmorpg's where its just primarily to do with just grinding which is tedious and monotonous, all the skills that you gain in this game are also worth PED's too which you can 'chip out' and sell. So even when the day comes when you finish playing mmo games (it will all come to us at some time) you won't have looked back and thought "I spent all those hours on a game that i dont enjoy anymore, all those hours just disappeared".... with this game you can sell all your items and skills and cash it out to your real life bank account.

If you look at their "official" forums people are starting to get upset with the current state of the game. High end depositors are getting aggitated because they don't feel newer players or players who don't deposit as much as them deserve to get rare items and HOFs. There is a moderate division between the "upper" class high roller/depositors and "lower" class casual non-deposit players. High end rollers are furious that newer players have the same chance at getting HOFs than them. They feel elitist and entitled to more from the game because they decided to deposit more. Noone ever forced them to deposit thousands of dollars a day to have fun. Its like a casino, everyone has a chance to get jackpots but the house (Mindark) always has the upper hand.

 

Money and Entropia Universe

You can play this game easily with the budget of a normal P2P mmo, but a large proportion of the people who play entropia deposit more as the money you put into the game doesn't 'disappear' into thin air like WoW for example. You deposit how ever so much every month of every year and you never see that money again with game like WoW.... with Entropia you can deposit and withdraw it out casually, so its not a problem for our players. Infact there are individuals who actually deposit hundreds and i even know some who deposit thousands of dollars into the game a week. Some individuals ingame actually make a Living off the game - yes a living!

You cannot play much of the higher content on a budget of a normal P2P mmo. You will have to deposit large amounts of money to get access to higher content and you will have to continue depositing large amounts to maintain your progress at higher content/professions.

One Famous player of the game, callled Neverdie he remortgaged his own house in real life and bought an ingame asteroid for $100,000. He now earns an estimated $15k a month from taxing people who hunt/mine on his land.

He is a Hollywood celebrity and they shut the auction server down when a regular casual user almost outbid him for the asteriod, it was a marketing gimmick to get more people to play and deposit.

I don't play the game but even i know that he bought it at Buyout price so plz stop your conspiracy theories..

The Future

Entropia Universe has been around since 2003 and in the recent months is preparing for a huge change. In regards to graphics (although it looks great as it is at the moment), will soon have cryengine 2 implemented into its game system. So think of it as Crysis graphics in a mmo (more details of this can be found on the main Entropia Universe website).

Its only a graphical update. Players who are highly skilled in beauty might profit only if the engine resets everyones character template.

Not only that but within the next few months Entropia Universe will be partnering with various other gaming companies who will use the Entropia Universe platform to have their own planets which players can actually travel too. These planets are not all going to be "hunting, mining" the usual MMO content. Some planets will have different uses and will be diversely used for entertainment in form of commedy clubs, a place where you can watch movies (streamed possibly), possibly a medaevil themed planet etc. At this moment as players we arent sure of what specifically, its all meant to be a suprise so these are just rumours that have been mentioned :) But you can choose to go or not go to these planets (if you dont like the sound of them).

 

The Future is bright for Entropia Universe, with so many different possibilities it give to players and not just the mindless grinding that you have to go through hours on end. This game is unique and with the changes coming in the near future holds exciting prospects for the world of MMO.

You will have to deposit and grind if you want to access higher end content.

 

 

 

Always remove your CC info when u cancel.

On a side note; i never cancelled my sub just removed my CC info, if i add it again will i be charged for the months that gone by? :P

So what's the outcome of this, what happens when one side takes the other factions city? U finally get the "Game Over" screen? ^^

My thoughts are: Wrong forumsection, this has nothing to do with AoC..

And the point of this thread is?

This petition is just crazy, what value will that apology have if u get it by request? Just do yourself a favour and drop it instead, just turn your back and move on in life..

Nice video, makes me wanna start playing again. Sure looks like lots of fun, just wish I only had some time to spare.

Ah the holy crusade, and sadly i'm not talking about the OP.

4 pages sofar, it's really worth a laugh.

To me it sounds like he was removed from his position with the option to leave voluntarily. Dunno but that the feeling i got from that statement.

I don't play either of these 2 games but from the 2 videos presented i would easily choose AoC, cause that WAR video is just horrible. 

Running in circles and occasionlly jumping while beating a guy with a stick?

"but look at what you guys are missing.... "     are u for real?   

Seriously if your intent is to pull ppl from AoC to WAR u should start by making a video that will attract ppl and not the opposite.

May i say something about the graphic's?

They are just:  Wow

Guess u can interpret that different depending on if your a fanboi or a hater..   

worked without a problem for me but i still have 5 hours download left and then i guess there's some patching too..

What happens if i would cancel my subscription? Does the account get frozen or do i still get to play untill my paid time is up? I removed my CC info but w8ing to cancel untill i know.

Quite bad animation on that dragon, hate when huge mobs spin/glide around a small point. Otherwise it looked cool, thx for showing it cause i will never experince it myself.
