Project Entropia - what is it?

o_voipme · 11-10-2005, 05:15 PM

I read this article on CNN.com saying some guy just bought a virtual space station in the game for I looked up the website and it says its a virtual world with a real cash economy. So basically, you can take in game money and exchange it for cash, at a rate of 10 to 1. I'm not really understanding how this works. Has anyone played this game, or currently plays it? Its really interesting sounding.

As far as i know its a MMORPG but with not so good gameplay. The hook being that game money can be converted to real money.

Other RPGs have done this. You exchange real money for in-game money, do whatever you want with it, and are allowed to exchange it back as you want. So you could put in a bunch of money, start some in-game pyramid scheme, and end up with even more. Or less. Depends.

You know, if Nerrah, or whatever never winternight`s world is, if it were classes as a real country it would be the 72nd richest county in the world, its money has a better exchange rate than Lira o_O.
