Yeah, I kind of suspect that the "real money" thingie breeds a terrible community. I'm deleting the game from my hard drive.

Based entirely on curiosity sparked by this thread, I downloaded, installed, and logged in to Entropia Universe.

Then I started playing. That lasted about ten minutes.

NVM.

Currently i'm playing Eve (again) ,with both accounts active .... I'm Joquiam and Vrixy members of Tech 9 and CO2 alliance.

Lol i loves Sasi

will take yer word for it and not even bother looking for the game!

Vrixy if you run accross a Voracks in Eve say hi it's me .-Kil

I'll keep an eye out for ya Trout! i watch the local and other chat channels ,get bored mining lol .

I am currently trying Riappelz since it is totaly FREE. So far it feels a bit boring but as it is starting a bit like Ryzom (newby island before heading into the real world), I am just curious what else they have planed as gameplay.

I played Rappelz for a short while (half an hour). The mount was cool, but it really doesn't like being minimised; and the spelling was terrible (I'll be grateful to see improperly conjugated shouts again. I might even use shout instead of /s for a week in celebration), as were the anti-botting measures. Deleted.

<-- Game snob

tried rappels for 10 mins - all avatars look the same + what Whiterider wrote. Deleted.

No need to capitalise "free," or include the word "totally." It isn't entirely free due to the presence of microtransactions in the form of an item shop, which could perhaps be more accurately termed a metagaming shop: You buy things (such as special consumables) with RL money to enhance your character. It is said that serious players of such MMOs ultimately spend more money on them than those of subscription-based MMOs.

Furthermore, games using this model (and similar mechanics, lore, and art style) are quite common.

This is not specifically directed at you, BrowserIce, rather I hope it serves as a general clarification with the quote of your post providing context.

I haven't found any MMOs i'm really interested in but
have played Horizons a bit and have an acoount.

But I just started playing Sins of a Solar Empire and
finding it to be a really good game.

Give me a month or so to get some good strategies
developed then I'm ready for the multiplayer.
