i started playin entropia so far I have put 4 dollars 30 cents in it
I killed monsters and such and my total loot was worth 4$ in game currency
so I lost 30cent and in the process was mildly entertained
I am about to spend 5 dollars on ammo and go monster hunting I will report back with the numbers

I will explain a couple things as I don't plan on responding to posts
you can exchange your in game currency on the website when you get 100$ worth in game
this run I got 3 dollars and 5 cents worth of shrapnel that can be used to make more ammo
i can use the ammo made from the shrapnel to repeat the process or trade them for there value
my thinking kind of went like if i keep buying ammo at the current rate and put everything in the bank
at some point when i learn trading and have a pile of stuff i could withdraw from the game to get a big portion of money back.



i will be posting numbers of money spent and earned to gather a ratio for a projected cost per month

You are still down. How could the game devs make money otherwise? It's a trap.

As long as you're having fun XistzPoww doesn't care. Sugar daddy has the CC company on speed dial.

5$ in ammo worth 50 peds ending up being 40.64 peds worth at the basic trader i was after done hunting
32.83 ped worth of shrapnel with a 101% conversion rate to ammo

7.81 worth of items without including mark up value



the first run i did earlier spending roughly 4 dollars and 30 cents
i made 38.95 peds worth 3 dollars 80 and a half cents
30.65 of that is shrapnel ( 101% exchange rate back into ammo )
8.30 worth of tradeables

79.60

63.48 worth of shrapnel before conversion into ammo
converted to 64.11 ammo to repeat hunt (2982 rifle shots) ( 5433 pistol shots )
16.11 minimum trade good value

18.12 peds worth banked
66.73 peds worth of ammo
28.68 peds in game


112.53 by my count ( after i googled it turned out to be 113.53)
worth 11 dollars 25 cents (11 dollars 35 cents )
out of a total 13$ investment -.70cents because i wont include the guns and armor from the starter pack in costs

so i lost a dollar and 5 cents (or 95 cents i cant tell anymore)
or 10.50 peds

Even selling the items i have at around a 105% markup i do not think i will make it back
if my maths good the game cost doesn't seem terrible. theres a chance to hit a global loot drop and its possible to sell the skills that i get from monster hunting
overall better than i expected

Yeah. Still better than other games that have microtransactions but no way to redeem to FIAT currency

Unless u can easily cash out the in game currency to real life money or fg in equal value it’s a scam
