Hi Casay
I've followed your advice, and read through the various tutorials on the entropiaforum.com site. I've also watched the videos, and I now have a much better feel for EU. In some ways, it reminds me of Everquest, which I played a lot in the early days.
However, in reading over all the information, I've come to realize that getting the most out of EU would take a fairly substantial time committment (as did EQ, way back when). Looking at my real-world life right now, I have a lot of responsibilities that have to take priority. Getting involved in EU, given the time required, would probably not be a good idea for me at this point.
Down the road a way, when my life is a little less busy and I have more free time, I may very well check it out again. From everything I've read, and everything you've told me, it does seem like a good place to be.
Thank you for your help and advice, it's much appreciated! When I do get back onto EU in the future, I'll definitely get in touch.
Thanks again!
