What then is Entropia Universe? - Entropia Universe really extends the concept of virtual reality. Entropia could be said to be a universe for virtual worlds with unique virtual worlds or "Planets". Each individual Planet can have its own theme and lore, but all planets share the same cutting edge 3D environment with a unified real-cash economy.

This real-cash economy is what sets Entropia Universe apart from other virtual worlds and online game. While it is always free to participate and there are activities that any participant can profit from without any investment, the virtual universe of Entropia also presents real business opportunities on a more advanced level.

By investing in one’s personal avatar and building up skills in a rich set of professions and trades, it is possible to use more powerful tools and engage in potentially more profitable activities.

Inside Entropia resources, tools and other items all have a guaranteed base value. In addition to that base value, the free market can set a higher value based on supply and demand. Avatars may for example specialize in trading resources they deem will soon be in high demand and possibly gain a profit from a rising market prices. The economy within Entropia Universe is highly specialized and complex, and thus offers endless possibilities for participants with sharp market instincts and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Participation in Entropia Universe can take many different forms. Whether you prefer to be a wildlife explorer, a city fashionista, a market analyst, event organiser, or any of countless other professions, you can let your avatar become whatever you desire inside Entropia Universe. Virtually everything, from anywhere.
