Progress on Project Entropia
I had discovered a free MMPORPG game called Project Entropia. 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).
There were a few estates going for 50,000 PED ($5,000 US) as well. It sounds crazy to invest that much money into something that isn’t real. Last year someone purchased “Treasure Island” for what I think was $26,500 US. He finally broke even this month and lowered the taxes on his land. The most recent purchase in the game was $100,000 US for a space station. That seems to be going around in the news often.
I ran for a few hours to get to my apartment. Angel was a little impressed with how large the world is. I just keep thinking of Star Wars. It had very large planets as well with odd fauna and plant-life. I eventually did arrive. I found that I lived in a high-rise duplex. There are four of them grouped together.
The apartment is a bit dark inside, but it is bigger then I had expected. It even had a balcony with a view of one of the other duplexes.
It’s going to cost me 10 PED ($1 US) per month for upkeep. If I don’t pay, then I’m simply locked out of the apartment until I do pay. I’ve got to do something eventually about furnishing the house.
Since a teleporter is nearby, getting back to the house is no problem at all now. If anyone is ever in the area, you can come and visit sometime. I have set it to be open to the public.

If you are interested in the game, I can help mentor you. Just create a free account and download the software. Game play is free and purchasing PED’s is optional. In fact, you can cash out any PED’s that you earn into real-world money.

Hey Lewie, I just downloaded the game, I’m new at this sort of thing. I was wandering if you could help me get started. Please can you explain how the mentoring system works do I have to pay?

No, you dont pay. Someone offers to help you out. Problem is that it
takes so long to get past the mentor part, that those mentors usually
stop helping after a while (usually after the grace period that you
get to choose to stop being mentored). Some dont even help much to
begin with. If you ever do get past menotoree stage, your mentor gets
credit even if they didnt help you. there isnt a way to kick your
mentor out either.
of course, i havent played much for a few months. I log in every now
and then and see changes. they may have changed mentoring system by
now.
the most helpful thing you can do is join up with a group or community
and let the members help you. this one-on-one thing just doesnt work
well in-game over the long-term necessary to complete it.

I think I will join a community group, thanks for the advice. Someone told me that I should get some storage space early in the game e.g buy apartments, houses, etc… How much can you rent storage space from other players? As I don’t realy want to deposit any money into the account untill I’m more comfortable with the game.
