Project Entropia
In Project Entropia you will able to enter a whole world with amazing three-dimensional environments using a computer and the internet. It will be a massive virtual world where millions of users can interact with each other at the same time.
As a MMORPG the world of Project Entropia is set to take you on an epic journey into the future, to a place far away from Earth, beyond the borders and frontiers of known space. The central point in the human universe is now focused on one single colony on a distant planet named Calypso. The world on Calypso will be under constant development and will initially include three vast continents with large expanding cities where you begin your life. The cities will offer you an immense virtual playground for social interaction with other players in a thriving social community. It will contain various forms of in-game institutions, real online services and a variety of virtual entertainment.
IMO the most remarkable thing about the game is.....
the live economy system that will allow players to exchange real money for "Project Entropia Dollars", also known as PEDs. Players will be able to use credit cards or other options to transfer funds, at an exchange rate of $1.00 to 10 PEDs, into the Project Entropia world. That money can be used freely within the game, and then converted, if desired, back into real cash. It will actually be possible for players to make money playing this game !! Any item needed or wanted in the game can be purchased, first from MindArk, and later from other players. There are even plans to eventually allow this economic model to allow players to invest in in-game companies, as a part of the "Project Entropia Stock Exchange", or PESE.

'Some 15 million USD have been invested in the development of Project Entropia to date and we expect to continue developing Project Entropia in the years to come for a sum of at least 5 million USD annually,' says Managing Director Jan Welter Timkrans.
