The only way to make smaller amounts last is by grinding.

$15 per month will certainly curb the need to go on a Sweat Gathering mission so much.

$15 = 150 PED - Deposit Charge %

So, this would easily get you started with say: The Trade Terminal Rifle "Opalo", Trade Terminal Heal "Vivo T1" and a set of Goblin armour which you would have to buy through P2P trading.

Once you have these items, you can then buy ammunition, find some low-level creatures/mobs and grind it :)

You seem to know.... nothing.
There are large amounts of participants using Entropia every day. The reason why certain towns seem quiet is because many of those who use to be OJ or Noobs are all pretty much now mid-level.
Port Atlantis is still the n00b mecca it always was, Twin Peaks is where most mid-level people hang out and trade.
Really, so many people went to the AlphaWorld Alpha release... oh wait, I can't register, the program is closed. Probably because the server is running on a 4mbps line I heard.
EU is plenty of fun, you just have no impetus to leverage it properly.

You are partialy right. But it depends on your play style. I also play WoW, I have fe chars (none on 70 level). I plai it for fun and for story. And that's what's missing in EU. There is no story. There are no interesting quests. You can only run arround and gather sweat.

Yet more spam. Bye bye.

Hello. I'm new to Entropia Universe.  I've did extensive research on it and I certainly hope it's the free sci-fi MMORPG i'm looking for.

Is there any tips anyone would like to give me?

Hi, here's my 2cent on this "game".

You ask if this is the free MMORPG your looking for and I'll say, yes it's free to download and join. It's also free to log on and play as long as you only chat with others, gather sweat and find fruit.

If you plan to play and do other stuff like hunting, mining, crafting or cosmetic surgery... NO, it's not free at all.
To do this, you need:

• Hunting: You need a weapon and some armor. Also you would like to buy a amp to boost your damage. It also reqire ammo sold by MA.
• Mining: You need a ore/enmatter-finder and a ore/enmatte-extractor to gather your findings. You also would like a amp on your finders. It also require probes sold by MA.
• Crafter: You need a Bluprint book and some Bluprints. Also you would need ore and enmatter to craft items. (Weapons, Armor, Tools, Attachments and other items used in crafting the other items...) Basic BP sold by MA.
• Cosmetics/surgery:  The proper tools and materials needed.
• Skills, Skills, Skills, Skills, Skills: Useless skills that won't help anything unless you get loads of them, and even then it won't do anything to your success or loot you gather...

If you plan to play a "game" where you deposit money, accept change of rules and terms, have lot of lag and loads of other issues, then I suggest you read more... On top of this, you won't get to know how the paytable for loot is, so your payback is entirely in the hands of the company Mindark (MA=Greedy ).

So, I'll answer your question again : NO, this is not the free MMORPG you are looking for.
This MMORPG, or CASINO as I call it, will only require you to deposit money (loads of money) to have a any use, or fun while playing. I know, I been with them for 4 years now and regrett I ever set my foot in to their Universe.

My suggestion would be: Remove EU software from your PC ASAP.

Why? I'll make a post later in another tread.

BTW: I'm playing on another PC right now, crafting garbage items (TT stuff) to get skills and hopfully a Global or HOF.  1h 45m and already lost 100PED (10 us$), not counting the extra money I have to pay to the seller of materials I use. (TT+%) So my loss shown is only the raw value (TT) of materials.  I usually craft 12~14h a day...
(Other who play EU: Yes, I got loads of skills needed and know how to play!!! I also used to get many Globals and HOF's each day, but that was 3VU's ago...)

TT= Trade Terminal
PED=Currency used in EU
TT+%=TT price+ the extra % seller want for item(s). (10Ped+120%=12Ped)
Global=You loot item(s) worth more than 50PED and it show in GLOBAL chat.
HOF=Hall Of Fame. Item(s) you loot is high enough value to be among the top 25 in HOF.
ATH=All Time High...
Lost= Like someone else playing EU calls it: money I used in "game" (not lost, but used...  Yeah, right...)

Actually, you missed out the whole sweat gathering side of things. You also didn't mention the fact that there are indeed many many people who have never deposited a single cent into Entropia Universe and have amassed an absolute fortune by being smart with what they do.

Entropia IS free, you have the OPTION to pay for your fun. If you have the determination and temprament you can gather enough free resources, exchange them for PED and then purchase your hunting/mining/crafting resources.

I found EntropiaForum.com about 1 month after joining Entropia Universe. I really wish I had found Entropia Forum before I joined Entropia Universe. In the month prior to finding the forum, I made numerous bad choices in purchases I had made which could have easily been avoided if I'd had the immensely rich information I would have gained from the equally rich forum user base.

I have now come to see Entropia Universe and Entropia Forum as an almost symbiotic relationship in that, although seperately owned, the cross over and interaction between the two make for an outstanding experience. Entropia Forum is also one of the most interesting Forums I've ever participated in of any subject matter.

MindBuster did a great job in setting up the forum in the first instance and we all owe MB a debt of gratitude for his efforts. However, 711 has taken it to the next level making Entropia Forum even better as time goes on. Adding new features to make our forum participation just as interesting as being in Entropia Universe itself.

I look forward to seeing you over at Entropia Forum soon ;)
