Entropia Gains Space and Spaceships

Entropia Universe, which formerly consisted of planets, now has space in between the planets, and spaceships that can be used to travel from planet to planet.

 In fact, Entropia Space launches today and will allow avatars the ability to walk around on the ships, land on planets and asteroids, and then disembark from their ships to explore strange, new worlds and trade with the inhabitants they meet.

The launch of Entropia Space includes new spacecrafts, new environments, space battles and new opportunities for entrepreneurs to put their skills and creativity to the test to earn money in the Real Cash Economy of Entropia Universe. New features will be implemented, as well. A new karma system will provide ranks and titles for the ships with a clear distinction between good and evil. Participants’ choices will lead them toward one or the other; towards becoming a feared space pirate or towards being a steadfast vigilante.

You might remember that Entropia is the game with the real cash economy with an exchange rate of 10:1 US dollar. It’s free to play but if you want to buy stuff, you’ll need to drop some cash into the system for micro-transactions.

With the introduction of space and spacecrafts, teleportation between planets will be disabled and traveling through space will be the way to go instead. However, it will still be possible to teleport from CND and Crystal Palace to Planet Calypso for a fee.

To further spur the interplanetary travel and economy, the auctions will be bound to each planet. This means that you can still view auctions on all planets, but for you to place a bid on an auction or collect an item, you have to be on the specific planet.
