Free to play MMO with starter kit and CryEngine

Entropia Universe has been a MMO for a long time now...and has just updated to CryEngine 2 gaming engine which is pretty awesome 3d graphics for a free game.

I've been playing this for about 3 years now and was just monaing about a free offer with a mate ingame that we can't access because we're already avatars there. I thought maybe someone here that isn't may fancy the offer though, or maybe their kids (teens over 13).

It's a virtual world that's free to download and play ..actually it's a universe with one planet right now, but several new companies are opening up new planets in the very near future and some will be offering starter kits to new guys. So there will be a universe with several planets that a player can travel beween in the same game basically.

The one with the free starter kit is http://www.nextisland.com/ but it's in pre registration now, which is where you get the kit.
http://www.rocktropia.com/ is another planet about to launch which has Lemmy and Motorhead involved and is based on music as that link will show.

The main site for the Universe is https://www.entropiauniverse.com but if you want the free kit register at the Next Island site...if you're a player already you don't get it..and the conversion to the new CryEngine2 system isn't quite perfect yet so it's best to wait anyway.

In the game you can deposit and withdraw real cash (ridiculous amounts too)..but lots of people play purely for free by doing things ingame to earn money...and some get extremely lucky as items it's possible to find can be worth 10k real money (rare for new guys but it happens).

The game is a big download at just under 4 gigs and needs a pretty decent PC and graphics card to run, but the settings can be tuned to run on weaker machines.

If you or your kids like a beautiful 3d MMO for free maybe I'll see you in there one day soon. If you have a Question or need help now or later feel free to ask me and I'll be happy to help :) the community ingame is lovely and helpful too.

    Yeah, that's important ...it's not just a kids game. I don't know anyone who can honestly say they know it all either...lots to work out and learn. Perfect for people who like to be economical and work out the cheapest way to go about things isn't it?

    A small tip in that area...nomatter what sex you are in real life...be a girl in Entropia Universe...armour is cheaper, sometimes by a long way.

    Average age is much higher than I imagined when I started there...and the community is what keeps me there sometimes.

    Time to go try get my uber SGA item ..as if :rolleyes:
