There is no monthly subscription, and there is no sign up charge. Players must have credit cards, but no charges will be made right away. However, the first lesson in reality Project Entropia will teach you is that nothing is ever free. Just like in any RPG, there is an in-game currency PED(Project Entropia Dollars)in this case, that players use to buy and sell items. The thing is PED can be exchanged for Real Life Dollars, or Yen, or Euros. Effectively players use real money to buy digital items in this game. The interesting thing is that it works both ways: any liquid PED can be exchanged back into real-life cash. That means, in theory, players can make a profit in this game. By selling items manufactured by the player or recovered from enemies, either in a shop of the player’s own, or to a merchant avatar or NPC, so players can get some cash coming back.

The game is set in the distant future. Mankind has evolved a bit and all the action now takes place on other worlds. One particular planet, Calypso is where the game is set. Starting the game and you must create your own visual three-dimensional persona.Now that you have your character, what do you do in the game you might be asking? Well the answer is anything, absolutely anything you want, interact with other people; start up your own
virtual business; shop for both virtual and real life goods, as well as make real money.

All this trading and interacting takes places in the games cities, where there are a variety of shops, bars, cafes and housing. But if you step outside the cities to become a pioneer of this new world you can get
involved in exploration, combat.

Since this game has a certain impact on the real world, law and order is a sketchy area. Seeing as how goods in the game have monetary value in real life, there will be no outright theft in the game. Also, when an avatar
dies, there is an insurance that protects his or her items from being removed from his or her body. The only time this insurance is removed is in a PK. PvP combat can’t occur in the cities (besides special arenas) but if someone kills a player out in the field, open season is declared on them for a certain number of hours, and their corpse may be looted. As for the
deceased, they wander as a soul until they can find a hospital or some other healing source.

Project Entropia uses a skill based system rather than an experience/level system. That means that onlyskills the player makes use of will improve.

Basically Project Entropia is a virtual world, where basically anything can happen. Players can invest their own money and buy land, businesses, talk and trade with other players. Essentially you can do all the things you can do in a normal city, and there are normal things going on, such as stock markets, breakthroughs in technology, weather affected etc. Step outside the cities and you're in the wild, animals, hunters and wars are all in these areas so if you want the action life you're more suited here.
