I really dont know why every one just gets the game and then says it sucks

NOTE:Before saying a game sucks try to at leat play the game for a while before saying it sucks

              OMG .....who in the name of the Lord have donne such a thing.....i have read all the replays over here and i have play this game 3 hours.......3 hours i have lost from my beutiful life for this thing.......that some it say its Mature Community.

                 .......Guys no ofense ....its really suck.....

PS: sorry for my rusty english ....

The game doesnt sucks, it's diferent.

At least you guys managed to get in game. I went to create an account and never got my activation link. So I contacted thier support and I swear I think these are the same idiots who work for SOE or Lucas Arts, because it's going on a week and they still can't activate my account. lol

First they tried telling me my zip code wasn't valid and now they are telling me I have to reimput my dates. My last email I sent I asked them what dates because I had only one date to provide and that was my D.O.B. which I regave them. I haven't heard from them since. To be honest if thier tech support is that crappy I am not really sure I wanna check this game out anymore. lol Think I might end up giving this one a miss.

Is this a joke? All the games here has a this game sucks topic.

It's not a game, It's basically a virtual chatroom like second life except targetted towards the rich upper class. It's not really targetted towards gamers who unfortunatly get sucked in by the hype that you can get "large amounts of real money"...

Sadly, this is so true.  If you don't deep pockets, your typically won't get too far.  And seeing as people have spent 75k or so on "virtual malls", I'd think this is definately geared towards richer folks. 

Granted, I have heard some success stories about people starting with nothing, and actually making something of themselves, with no depositing, but this is rather rare, and I get the feeing it takes alot of business sense.

Some gamers may know how to run a business, or work an economy, but I'm personally thinking most don't.  I know myself, I can't.  If I could, I'd probably be a billionaire in EvE.  But alas, I scrape by with what i got in that game, and same with EU. 

Best thing to remember though, it really isn't a game that has levels, and the quests and such.  It is sandbox like, but with the harsh reality that would be our world involved.

Ok, thousands of other make it without a problem.....and you failed! And you say the game sucks?

hmmm

i have been on and off this game since it was live somthing like 5 years ago, 2 years in i was sick of trying to sell my sweat to players and tossed my character 50 buck to get armor and a gun, now i can get on and hunt and get money to pay for the ammo i used and repair my gear, it's fun to pass some time but  nothing i would play 4 hours a day or even 4 hours a month hah

This is not a game. Its one of the more funnier scams I read about. Kudo's to the devs for that.

The players who spend all the rl money for ingame items (that also decay!!) are idiots imo. But that is the funny part.

What about the ones who actually make money, Like Neverdie and Deathifier, are they idiots too?

I don't think they actually make money. I think Neverdie has a special contract where they give him some money. They actually shut down the server when that one property went on auction house because a real player almost outbid him. It was all for promotion. Any normal player won't be able to obtain or do anything worth while like in beauty or coloring unless they deposit massive amounts of money.

And your basing this on your own ideas when you dont even play the game.  Neverdie bought the asteroid for Buyout. That means that there was an auction but he paid the top price for it immediately and bought it.  If you want further information on the term buyout check wikipedia or something.  FYI they do actually earn money from the game (and you forgot to comment on Deathifier - who i actually know ingame and he does earn quite a sum per month). And not only individual people are getting money from land.  Whole Society's (guilds) have the capability to own and earn from land area.  There are Land Grab events every 6 months where society's (20+ soc's) who fight it out (pk) to win the deed to the land.  Thats one of the events that are held by MindArk.  Once the society wins the land they get to keep and earn peds from it for 6 months until next land grab.

Well, let's do a little comparison on monthy costs.

Here's month-to-month fees on several popular games:

City of Heros/Villans 11.95
EVE 14.95
EQ II 14.95
Final Fantasy IX 12.95
Star Wars Galaxies 14.99
Tabula Rasa 14.99
Ultima Online 12.99
WOW II 14.99

If the OP would have deposited  a similar sum, they would have been able to get a complete starter kit for hunting or mining, and had some pocket money left.

What sets Entropia apart from these pay-to-play games is that if you don't feel like paying for a given month, you don't get cut off from the game.

The OP mentions sweating the native wildlife of Calypso.  That's a common activity for noobs that want to get some cash without depositing. Gathering dung or fruit for resale are also popular.

An explanation of sweating for those unfamiliar with EU (Now called Planet Calypso, which is the first planet in the Entropia Universe. Others will follow, my guess is 1st q of 09...) is this:  The wildlife of Calypso exude a "vibrant sweat" which can be combined with mined material to produce "Mind Essence", which is essentially the fuel for psionic powers such as teleportation, healing, etc, etc.

Gathering this sweat for resale costs a player nothing but time to do. However since EU is RCE based, it takes time to gather enough for any amount of in-game cash. No suprise here, MA is a company that wants to profit, and too many freebies will keep that from happening.

Sweating also allows newcomers to familiarize themselves with the user interface, and how stuff works in general. Sweat sales are always P2P, which reinforces the concept that the game is a social experience, and that a players in-game experience is linked to the other colonists on planet Calypso.
 

So,  what am I saying?  I'm saying "screw the idea of making money here, it's a freakin' game!" I'm also saying  that if a player pays in the same 10-15 dollars per month, they will have lots of fun. If they want bigger bang, they can pay in more bucks, but that's entirely up to them and their budget. :)
