I'd rather be some randomly butchered iteration of Aragorn, a virtual vampire, or furry in Second Life than participate in that p.o.s. Their "Planet Partners" are disengaging from them en masse, planets are generally empty or near-to empty, and average non-insider players stand no chance of a return on their money.

Jan Welter Timkrans, in whichever executive position he is in now, has bankrupted several companies before this and it is only by bleeding people dry through promises of big payouts that Entropia is still around. This is the same company which bought a castle and painted it yellow a few years back, losing much money in their upside-down investment.

That being said, Entropia can be fun if you play small by investing whatever you would in a normal subscription-based game. It may last you a week if you get lucky. Just don't expect to make the sorts of money you see in their press releases: those amounts are reserved for those associated with MindArk directly or indirectly. For their stellar history, see things such as the Entropia ATM Card, Banks in Entropia, and much more.

yar wasn't saying it was a good game.. or even average game lol


just sayin' its the biggest most retarded mmo purchase i can think off of the top of my head.
