Currently, games built on the principle of RCE (Real Cash Economy) are gaining increasing popularity, that is, when in-game money has a fixed exchange rate relative to real money and the exchange of in-game currency for real and back is legally sanctioned in the game. In the virtual game universe of Entropia Universe, created by MindArk, the in-game currency – PED – has a fixed value in real currency of 10PED = $1. At any moment, you can either buy PEDs by paying real money or transfer them from the game to your bank account (credit card).
This game includes a huge number of development options. There are no concepts of "avatar race" and "avatar class" in the game, which means there is no strict attachment to any one profession. You can develop all professions simultaneously. However, development in Entropia is expensive (and costs real money), so it is most profitable to specialize in one thing.
You can hunt alien monsters on external orbital stations, which you can access via space shuttles operated by other players like yourself, for whom one of the main professions is piloting. You can focus on trading and even buy your own store, develop it, and advertise it. You can mine resources, heal other players, sew clothes, or produce necessary equipment. And none of the professions will interfere with another, as whatever you do will simply enhance your skills in that area. The more professions you have, the more professional skills you will develop, without any restrictions, as there is no skill development threshold. This means that you can improve as much as you want, and with the right desire and efforts, you can achieve great success in any specialization you choose. If you don't have the time or desire to level up your character yourself, you can always buy the necessary amount of the required skill from other players.
The game features a vast number of communities speaking almost any language in the world, and if you put a little effort into finding the right community for you, you will find yourself in the company of like-minded individuals who speak your language and will always help you with advice and offer any other assistance that you will need in this game, trust me. One of the main conditions is not to beg for money; begging is not welcomed here.
There is a huge variety of weapons, tools, armor, clothing, and auxiliary resources in the game. The effectiveness of your actions, and importantly, the cost of your actions, directly depends on the right choice of your gear, weapons, and tools. If you choose incorrectly, you will spend more money and time for the same results. So, when choosing your next item for further use, you will need to be patient and carefully calculate its effectiveness.
It is worth noting that there are no quests in the traditional sense familiar to subscribers of other MMORPGs in the game; however, you can create your own events.
Successful players can acquire ownership of an apartment, a country house, or even an entire castle by the seaside, which will serve as a source of pride for you and envy for less fortunate players. The number of decorative items is vast, and only your imagination and account balance can limit your efforts to give your living space a comfortable and unique look.
