The first thing a player does in Entropia is collect sweat from animals and sell it to other players and indeed is how I started the game. The latest VU has taken the cap off this activity - resulting in nobody buying the players sweat. I have seen new players trying to sell for 3-4 hours, logging off and never returning. Result new players leaving very quickly and the starting town “Port Atlantis” looking like a ghost town. Secondly the new VU has made everything — harder— crafting,hunting,mining— resulting in older players leaving daily. The ones who are stll playing have raised their prices on tools, weapons, etc, that are bought by players of lower lvl coming into the game, to keep their costs covered. The result is that prices are becoming untennable - MA hve priced them out the market. The other reasons people are leaving (including myself), are the following…. a) - Over the last 6 months prices for raw materials have increased on average 10%-15%. b)- With increased raw material costs and lower crafting success rates, this has resulted in items within the game increasing to incredulous prices. c)- Auction rigging, reseller madness, and scamming are becoming common place now- as unseeing players try to cope with the increasing costs within the game. Currently no new players are staying around, prices are constantly going up, older players are leaving daily. The main increase I noticed was for space flights to the asteroid. at first the price was 16 PED(1.60US one way), then 20 PED, and now advertised at 25 PED…. all witin 6 months.

This includes successful sweats from other players. If you buy a gun or an axe, you can start attacking them. In the beginning, I usually just let them attack me and run for the city guns. This helps build up your defense skills. Learning to attack is expensive in your early days, as repairs cost money. You can only gather sweat successfully from a creature 3 times.

Recently I got paid in real life, so I was able to sink a few dollars into my Project Entropia account to get access to some PED’s. I got some armor and also invested in a home of my own. I found that the cheapest apartment was about 175 PED ($17.50 US Dollars). [...] […] I had discovered a free MMPORPG game called Project Entropia.
