Long awaited it has been!

It's been some time now, many things have passed both great, good and bad.

In world of warcraft I became 80 on my Death Knight, cleared all content available excluding Ulduar that just released, it has come to an halt with my wow playing, atleast for the part of gaming it raiding and alike, beeing social and such i might do. but all sorts of raiding I wont be doing no more.

It has been quite some time now that I see raiding as beeing "pointless", Lost its charm one might say.. Every old veteran in wow that played before TBC was, can in 90% of the cases atleast say that wow was ruined the day TBC came, I could make a miles long list of why I miss the old wow. nontheleast I got several years of it under me now, and it was only some two weeks, not even that I discovered a long forgotten treasure.

There is a game I played before I played World of Warcraft. a game that i was very fond off, but at the time wasent that much of me, it was then at the realese of Windows Vista I came to think of it and wanted to play it again, but to my pity, it was still only available on win XP. 

As said though, I found it again not long ago, and to my surprise it was available for play on Windows Vista and my work kept me from it, so therefore I present you, in my humble own opinion one of the best MMORPG games i've ever played so far in my life! (and one of the games who first of all introduced me to the MMO scheme years ago)

Now This is a game not for the lazy ones you might say. There are several things I love about this game, and few I dislike. 

There are two key points that makes this game at first glance really seem swell, first off, its free to play, the second is that the game has an real life economy, what that means is that if you got 100 ingame money, or peds as they are called in the Entropian Universe, 100 ped would equal 10 US dollar. the game ratio is 10ped to 1 Dollar (10:1). You can, and many people are, have, and still am getting quite rich .. or nto rich but atleast they get a good ammount of real life cash from playing a game, this game.

now there is just one tiny catch, not a bad one but for some it might be. there are two ways of either starting good, you can deposit real life money, this means you "pay" for the game, you pay with real life money, you get ingame money for it. that is one way, and by far the easiest way to get started. the other way is to use the games built in play to start off. there are two things you can do to earn money as a "newb" one is to run around in the Entropoian world picking up dung, and fruits of the grround. sh*t job aye?! well the other thing is to gather sweat from mobs and animals around the world.

Ill say right away that i'm lazy, I gathered sweat from mobs for about 10 minutes before I spent 20 US dollars to get started, once past "starting" theres some different things you can do to earn money, you can either craft different stuff like cloths, weapons attachements, armor attachements, tools attachments, weapons or armor I might not be lying when I say that doing this, seems to be the best way to earn monetas, when ingame you can choose to switch on an option for the chat wich allows you to see every Global or Hall of Fame people get. if someone finds, crafts or kills something worth more than 50 Ped you get a so called global, this will then be shown with your name for everyone to see in the chat that you collected a global. some can wait months for even their first globals or HoF's, others might get them fast. Myself.. as a friend of mine called me a Lucky bastard ive had my share of globals from my few days of play after coming back already, and only some days ago I got a Hall of Fame worth 130 US dollar.

My ingame name is Kenpachi Mika Zaraki for the ones wondering that, now on the screenshot you can see my HoF beeing in the last 24 hours. 

Now the second thing you can do is to Mine minerals or enmatters. Even tho I got my first Global mining it is not what I really fancied, some find this the most fun and it seems to be the second most profitable thing to do in the game. not really much to say more about mining others than its two different kinds you can do, mine stones or enmatter as oil for example. you run around blowing bombs up either on the ground, or far deep into earth, if your seeker alarms you follow where it tells you to go to get your goodies.

Now the third thing to do. Hunting. This is what I myself am most fond off. with all my heart, I love it, you basicly just run around and kill stuff, personally I run with a loss each time but I honestly dont mind that, afterall, either if one is crafting, mining or hunting, everyone share a same goal, to hunt those big hall of fames.

Last time I saw on the All Time High, Hall of Fame the 1# in the different ones was:

Mining - 150 000 Ped (15 000$)

Hunting - 90 000 Ped (9000$)

Crafting 220 000 Ped (22 000$)

now, that is alot of money. 

Ok so i have said all the good stuff about the game pretty much, I will say one bad thing, not knowing if it exists but I am pretty sure it is. 

now this game is not only of the genre MMORPG wich is really fun to play, but it has a real life economy, and the dynamic of the game makes it like a big ass slot machine, now you can as I said before play it 100% free and get far, but it requires some luck at a certain point, no matter if you pay or if you play for free. if one manages to play for free no matter you are fine i guess, but if one choose to pay, I can easily see it might suck people in to a evil circle of "slot machine addiction" 

The rest of that case speaks its own story. overall this is a great game, either free or paid for, ive waited long to play it again, and well, ill tell you this, if you look on youtube of how it is now, the graphics are far from stunning, they are simple, bulky and weird. however, quite soon there ill be a change to that, The game will be running on CryEngine 2. now shoot me if you want but only that should make this game able to sail to the top of beeing thee most beautifull looking MMO there is as off today. I have yet to see a MMORPG becoming as gorgeous as Entropia Universe will be. I cant wait for it.

Ill leave with that for now, if you ever decide to try the game poke Kenpachi Mika Zaraki ingame! 

Cheers!
