This MMO shooter adds PvP arenas to Entropia Universe’s domain, where everything has a direct real-money value. The only currency is for all intents and purposes a real world currency with a fixed value to US dollars of 10:1. That currency, PED, can be purchased and cashed out at any time. That means every bullet, every repair bill, every rare drop you find is tapping directly into your wallet. That makes efficient use of ammo, weapons, and armor a key skill for players looking to make a buck off of their time in the game. The open world of Planet Cyrene is basically slot machine. Insert your money to buy ammo. Use that ammo to kill bad guys. Those bad guys have a chance to drop different amounts of loot, ranging from garbage to jackpot. Different areas of the world will change based on where the players spend their time. A zone that’s being aided by players frequently will be upgraded with new NPCs, quests, rewards, instances, and crafting recipes–while zones that players don’t help may be overrun by the enemy and the undefended outposts destroyed. Nothing is left to chance in the deathmatch free-for-all arenas located in the game’s Hub section. Pay your entry fee to spawn onto the map, and collect money on every kill you get. There are 6 brackets to play in—ranging from the poor-man’s pennies club to the high rollers table—but the ratio of rewards remains the same: each kill nets you 80% of the entry fee. If you can maintain a 2:1 kill ratio, you’ll be turning a profit. Team deathmatch and vehicle maps will be added eventually. | ||
