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 .

I'm looking really seriously at Entropia for my next game.  Unfortunately, they don't support vista.

I do not want to see (L)imited items take over. They have their advantages, but they are not a true investment. In Entropia Universe, you are playing with real money. I would rather be able to keep my item forever if I paid real money for it.

I vote NO on (L)imited items.

Most of Limited Items give Skill Bonus.. the real investment is the fast skill gain... if you want to invest.. just buy old unlimited armor and weapon before mob stop looting them

i think supporting means it will run perfectly,

it runs on vista but ppl have had problems with sound and few other small things but it runs

i have old graphics card which they say is not supported but the game runs ok for me, populated area teh graphics card is a bit slow and no special effects like shine etc BUT it RUNS

 

i think they add the vista support with the crytek engine
