I don't know how long this link will be correct, but here is a segment on teens using virtual jobs to make cash. It's mostly about some site called there.com, but 2nd Life came up a few times and a single mention was made of EU.
 
there.com is boring.

I SAID IT
 
1 mention of eu thats lame :mad:
 
Thanks for posting the link Doer. Shame not more mention of EU, although I think all advertising of Virtual Worlds will assist Entropia. People will see the shit graphics on those other Virtual Worlds and will end up discovering EU.
 
thanks for the info doer
 
Dunno i just hate SL >D
 
I posted on Diana's blog and told her to take a look at Entropia. I didn't run down the others but told her this was a real VW. I also told her to contact MindArk for a tour because screen shots gives no idea how the game really is.

Oxymoronic it may be, yes. Its chief asset is that it's on the same channel as the Simpsons.

Nice work. :laugh:
 
Well the Diffrence between EU and REAL Virtual Worlds are that in real virtual worlds you can create anything, the market isnt controlled by the cerator unlike in EU where MAs sence of participant content is charging you hundreds of peds for something you usually cant sell for half of that.

If you look at the report on Fox you see that there a girl making clothes from scratch for FREE and selling them for around 75cents. Now compare that to the world of EU.

Sorry to burst you bubble, but as it goes for real virtual worlds, Entropia isnt one. It´s way more closer to the online casinos.

I disagree in a nice way, no offense given. I think EU is much more like RL than the others and hence I consider it more of a REAL VW. I don't think hardly anyone in RL gets raw materials in RL to make something. Moreover many people go broke buy not getting the price they are asking for their products. In EU if you happen to be able to create something that is in great demand you may get 3 times or even more of your cost of mfg. This again I feel is more like RL. There was a lot of thought given to details in this "Game" to mimic RL and I think they did a good job. It can be and usually is a costly game compared to other VWs but I feel the experence is worth the price. Just my opnion.

and I agree with Xerxes, also in a nice way.

those resources u mentioned ppl don't get free there. Either they pay for land or some fee, or its payed by the Ads in the VW.
In EU at first, u have to be ABLE to create something, for that u have to invest LOT in skills,uncomparable more than anywhere else :( (and not speaking about competition etc..)
/did i mention nerfing VUs?:/
