Questions

Straight
answers

Kinda...

Is this really free?

Yes. No card, no subscription, no deposit. Make the account, finish the tutorial, take the shuttle. The daily mission comes with its weapon and ammo, and plenty of players never put a dollar in.

Can I actually withdraw real money?

Yes. Entropia Universe has paid out tens of millions of dollars to players since 2003. PED is fixed at 10 to the dollar and withdraws to your bank account. It is a twenty-year-old system, not a promotion.

What is the catch?

There isn't one. Entropia Universe is a real, working economy, not a poker table. People spend money on entertainment, rare items and the experience, and some of that value flows to the people hunting, mining, crafting and trading. The daily missions exist to bring new players in and pay them while they learn.

What good is $18 a month?

It is an actual wage for playing a game, paid while you learn the economy and build skills. In a lot of the world that is real money. And it is the floor: everything you loot or trade on top of it is extra.

What has Howling Mine got to do with it?

A sister planet with its own daily missions. ROCKtropia has one daily, Howling Mine has two, and Howling Mine gives you a free starter ship, weapons and ammo when you arrive. Do all three and the wage triples.

How do I get to ROCKtropia?

Every new player starts on Setesh, the tutorial moon. Finish it, walk to the spaceport and take the free shuttle. You are on ROCKtropia in one trip.

How much time does it take?

The daily takes about half an hour and resets every 24 hours. After that, play as much or as little as you like. There is no grind you have to do.

Do I need a good PC?

A PC from the last five or six years will run it. The client is a download of around 40 GB. Minimum specs are on the Entropia Universe site.
