Entropia Universe tips and tricks

The Entropia Universe is a massive online Virtual Universe. Set in a distant Sci-Fi future, participants assume the roles of colonists who must develop the untamed planet of Calypso. Populated with fierce and dangerous creatures, the perilous wilderness on Calypso is also rich in minerals and ore, both of which can be a lucrative source of income for would-be colonists. The Real Cash Economy means that the Entropia Universe currency, the PED, is connected to the real world economy through a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar, where 10 PED = 1US$. The PED currency allows participants to acquire virtual land and equipment in order to develop their virtual character (avatar) inside the Virtual Universe. The outposts, cities and auction on the planet Calypso serve as trading hubs where virtual items such as tools, weapons and minerals are bought and sold by colonists. The wide range of professions available to colonists makes the accumulation of skills and resources a lively business on Calypso. All your economic data is securely contained in your own personal account and withdrawals can be made according to the exchange rate mentioned above.
