    The problem resides in the fact that many people expect to win big from the start and they get very dissapointed when they don't and through in more money and in the end they just spent lot more than in a subscribing game. But this has nothing to do with the game being bad or good but with the people being greedy.

    So try the game but don't expect to make a living out of it but just paying for some entertainment.

    Its not the players fault..

     

    Its mindark adverticing the game as "make money playing a game". "A teen paid his school session bla bla bla. playing our game!!!". "Neverdie dont work anymore. makes a living out of Entropia"

    All this Bullshit adverticing attracts greedy people. and sure they are made to belive they will make money. Thats what the developer advertices with

    Honestly. Its hard to do. and if you wanna do it it takes alot of time and its borin.

    Of course you might be lucky and loot the uber stuff / hit an ATH and cash out alot of money. But the odds aint much better than winning the lotto.

    All the players try and convince people to start playing Entropia universe with the goal of having fun. And playing for the less money / month as possible. Being "smart".

    While the company does the exact oppesite. It tries to hype money greedy investors / or non investors. into the game. By not advertivcing with the game's features and funny parts. But with the money part / economy part. Of course they do mention "you can be anything you want. Create your own destiny"  and stuff like that. But it focus alot on the money part. Which is a shame

• • To clear everything up - Regarding graphics. ---->

  • I see from the ratings and various comments in the forums. That people are in the belive Entropia Universe is running on Cryteks Cryengine2.

    Let me clear this up.

    The game is currently. NOT. Running on Cryengine 2. Or anything related to it. I forgot the current names Engine. But its a whole different one.

    The avatar update is not ran by Cryteks engine either. Its run by the old one atm. The terrain has not improved much since it gone gold in 2003.

    So dont expect Crysis graphics.

    Cryteks Cryengine 2. is bought. And currently they are implementing and changing everything. And when we hit 2008 Middle/late. They will then implant everything at once.

    They said they will at some point release some preview movies of how good the graphics are going to be.

    People keep saying about EUs graphics, how great they are etc. Is it just me who believes that the graphics are completely outdated? They remind me of an improved version of Anarchy Online. Furthermore, when I tried the game a couple of months ago the resolution was fixed to 1024x768 and you could not do anything to change it. How great can graphics be with such a limitation anyway?

    No its not Cryengine 2 atm. Its another engine atm.

    There is not one single thing from Cryengine 2 in the game atm. Not even the avatars graphics is run by Cryteks engine.

• • Confused over tons of different opinions?. See here

  • Okay...

    Being one of the many Veterans in EU. Starting in the year 2003. And still being here. I might as well explain about this game. I think i got the far better experience than the "tried it. Dident like it" opinions..

    Start off with saying. Im not a fanboy of this game. So that i will say something as if it was greater than it is will not happen. Its based on facts.

    First thing people ask is, "Does the Economy work?:"

    Yes & No. It works. But the old items. And the old "EU" (original PE). Gone out of control. Atleast with the items worth having. Simply. The demand and supply got way out of control. The demand was huge. and the supply low. Thus incrasing prices drasticly over a shorter period. Making the items worth alot. (even the "High" stuff. Not the very high end. Or the uber stuff). Today mindark. Kinda put their bet on "L" items. (L being Limited). Which obviously. Can't raise in price drasticly. As it would make them not worthy to use. Simply. This is the solution. As suddenly dropping tons of the old items would only temporary decrease prices in EU. otherwise it would have to keep dropping tons to the day its enough of everyting to everyone. making the game very boring and failed. + the fact it would piss of those who invested their money in these items (ranging often from 500-1500 USD for a "high" gun, Being guns cost under 1 dollar. and a decent low/medium gun. being a 10-20$)

    "Can i trust the developers. That i get my money back?"

    Yea you basicly can. Out from the fact i havent. Or anyone have yet heard or seen any complaining of not had their money yet. and there have been lot of withdrawels. i had one myself. and it came as it should. So yes. its not a scam.

    "Is the game worth it. The time and effort needed?."

    Yes EU is a very time consuming game. Anyhow you will. compared to other games. Feel the time was used with a better purpose. Than in other mmorpgs usually. During to the special economy. The game is not worth the effort. If your going into it for the only purpose of creating money. and take them out. 90% of those who try will be hugely disapointed with the hard diffeculty to make anything worthwhile out of it.

    "Will i lose tons of money playing it. Because loots sucks. and they rip me off?."

    Yes & No. Its up to you. Going for easy & fast fun. money goes easy & fast too. It kinda follows. Atleast in the start. Where your avatar will be very inefficient because of lacking skills. Simply. You can have huge fun. But only if your thinking twice about how you do it :). Thats a challenge!. And the loots can be good & bad from day to day variating between the both. But it seems area controlled. so learn where to go. and it usually will be quite ok.

    "People mention its cryengine2. but the graphics are not very good compared to Crysis, Why?"

    No. Its not Cryengine2 . YET!. The avatars had an graphical upgrade. As a part of the implemention of Cryteks Cryengine2. Which will implemented 2008. Problaly middle of the year.

     

    Basicly. EU is hard. Play smart. Think twice. and aim for fun. Thats the way you get succes in EU. and problaly a bit cash out of it in the end.

    Going into EU, Money hungry. Looking for a one night stand with money bonus. Well. basicly will be the hugest "i had better" experience in your whole life. Simply.

    Eu is different. In many aspects. Yet unique. Approchaing it with realistic prejudices. And a good motivation to not focus on the money part. its going to be a blast. So try it.

    Eu is not perfect. Thats for sure. And WOW and such games are more polished and mainstream. Your looking for something different. and more community focused. + Manuel combat?. Well Eu might be the right place for you :) Enjoy!

    Ask me question if you want to :).
