What's Entropia Universe

Entropia Universe (formerly "Project Entropia") is a MMOG/Virtual World platform consisting of several game worlds in the form of planets which are connected through space. Most parts of Entropia Universe are based on a Science Fiction setting. In Entropia Universe you play by controlling an avatar in a 3D world performing activities like hunting, mining, crafting and many more. Entropia Universe is best known for it's rather unique Real Cash Economy (RCE), meaning the ingame currency Project Entropia Dollars (PED) has a fixed exchange rate rate of 10:1 to the US Dollar and players can convert 'real world' cash into game currency as well as the other way round.
