You will hear people say it a lot; Entropia is a casino! Just because it is said a lot doesn't make it true. What is true, is that anyone can use the game however they want to see it. If you want it to be a casino, yes you can take huge risks. If you see it as a virtual real-estate platform, there are all sorts of revenue bearing land opportunities in the game. Or, do you fancy yourself a modern day merchant-trader? THIS is the appeal the game has; it is everything we want it to be, even though it doesn't address these things perfectly.
Let me give you a clear contrast between Entropia and Casinos. Bear with me as I get to the point here.
I have made a rather good living for a couple years playing video poker, which is a 99.54% return (on full pay Jacks or Better), or in the case of progressives, the return does go often into the over 100% range.
Because there are 52 cards in a deck, 5 cards dealt initially allowing you up to 5 more cards to be drawn to hopefully achieve a winning hand, there is a limited number of permutations that lead to those hands. The pay-table unlocks the secrets. It is the pay-table that determines how valuable a non-winning hand is before you draw your new cards. Even though a few people can play perfect strategy, myself included, casinos will still make a fortune on video poker because most people might play with 80% accuracy in regards to what perfect play is. If 1 in 5 of your hands are played imperfectly, that increases the house's edge quite exponentially. There literally are people who will keep their favorite number or their lucky number instead of jacks or better. Gamblers are superstitious, after all.
A royal flush (A K Q J 10) in any order of the same suit, pays 800 for 1 on 5 coins bet (4,000 credits). If you play quarters, that's $1,000. As of the moment you go to play a hand, you have roughly a 1 in 40,000 chance of that hand ending up in a royal flush. It varies based on variety of video poker and the strategy for that variety, but 1 in 40,000 is pretty much down the middle of all varieties. Some are 1 in 38,000, others are 1 in 42,000 ish. It really can take minutes, weeks, or years to get your first royal flush; but incredibly once you get the first one the rest keep coming.
Also one important rule of Class III vegas style random gaming is; every hand must be dealt as randomly as if you were shuffling a deck of cards at your own kitchen table and dealing from them. Some brands of video poker will continuously shuffle the remaining 47 cards while you decide which ones to keep and the result is given that the RNG has the precise moment you push the draw button, or, the entire order of cards is determined when the initial hand is dealt. Either way you get a fair shake, though some consider the first method to be more random. I mean, in that particular instance, every four cards to the royal you are dealt potentially can become a royal. If the next card is already determined, then, sure you still have the same odds just, if the card isn't there it would not have been there. In any case;
$1.25 per hand can pay $1,000. That is money you can cash out right away, or within a few days if playing online.
In Entropia terms, this is 12.5 peds per play, to hit 10,000 peds. It is like a smaller amped mining run hoping for a 5 digit tower. Or lets say an EPIII run hoping to hit it, I mean its not exact but it is close.
It took me 11 years of mining mostly amped to get my first tower of 5K peds. 11 years! And sure, I got a 15K tower too finally, but it is peanuts for what it cost me.
What are the odds of hitting a 10K ped hof? I've gotten to level 53 BLP and level 40 something laser without hitting hof over 300 peds on hunting; and I've pounded robots, Atrox, ambu, you name it. My biggest hunting loot is actually a global, but that is only 500 peds ish. I've got a great many iron missions done, multitudes more half done; plus all the grinding I did before there was such a thing as iron missions. Looks like hunting odds of a decent hof are 1 in tens of millions or perhaps hundreds of millions. But MA won't tell you the odds. MA won't say "Oh, about 1 in 100,000,000,000,000 kills leads to swirls". They don't tell us what the maximum multiplier is, though if you scour Entropialife you will be able to figure it out; in terms of multiplier, the 5 pec basic filters can hit 500 peds. And that's the highest multiplier ive seen. It tapers down as the cost per click or play size goes up. So that means 1 ped in Entropia can hit a maximum of 10,000 peds; but I've yet to see anything like that.
There are people right now spending $2 a click on EP IV, losing tens of thousands of dollars a month, chasing what, a $20,000 jackpot? That's the theoretical max of EP IV. Many of these people would need to hit a million ped hof to be remotely even, but it can never and will never happen. Supposing they do hof big; they then have to wait two months for MA to pay out; and hopefully they aren't broke bored and stupid resulting in cancelled withdrawals in the meantime.
I've had countless royal flushes in the last ten years. I am way ahead on Video Poker. But the odds are known, the proper strategy is there, deducible by sound math. Mindark doesn't give us pay-tables, they don't give us any information but that which we find out for ourselves.
What Entropia is, is a centrally planned economy; when someone figures out how to make their ends meet, MA moves the ends. Every VU is seemingly worse than the last, but everything is always different. Loot is distributed differently, etc. What works in one VU suddenly might not work in the next. I think this is their idea of Dynamic.
Entropia isn't really worse than a casino though. Casinos don't let you buy sell and trade for markup. Casinos don't let you own a part of their property to make tax revenue off what other people do in your corner of their world. It is just entirely different than a casino; yet it can function as a casino should the whims of a gambler call for it to be treated as such. But the caveat here is, it is not bound by odds and probabilities to treat you as if it were a casino.
A video poker machine is governed by the 52 cards in its deck. A craps table is governed by the odds of 2d6 rolling across its green velvet. A slot machine is at least governed by its reel-stripping. But Entropia? Is governed by people in an office who's job it is to stack the game as heavily in their favor as possible without pissing off their customers entirely. I don't know if anyone can fathom the logic their loot algorithms use; and it literally could be controlled by a monkey in the cage trying to grab a banana on a string; if he accidentally hits the hof button trying to get the banana, someone gets a hof. I mean, really, its how it seems sometimes.
So, no, Entropia really isn't a casino. A casino gives you better odds and tells you what they are and you typically only wait hours or a few days for your withdrawal. That is so far at the other end of the spectrum from MA and Entropia, I just don't know how else to put it.
Actually; if casinos were music, Entropia would be the Weird Al of casinos. No offense to Weird Al. This is to say, Entropia is a parody of what a good MMO and a Casino are. There is so much room for improvement that if they ever made all of the improvements they could make, they would become so liked and so popular I predict they would not be able to keep up with the server upgrades to keep the game online, but it will take someone with a lot of ambition and vision running them to ever get to that level of progress.
While Entropia is not a casino, they are competing with casinos. The sooner they realize this, and treat their customers and their game accordingly, the better everyone including MA will do.

Public Service Announcement: What you need to know about the eMail scam epidemic.
You know, I have decided to make this post, no it hasn't much to do with Entropia; but it has everything to do with doing my part to stop people from throwing away perfectly good money that if they are going to throw it away, at least throw it away on something that has a return. What am I talking about?
Check your spam folder in your favorite email accounts. Go through your junk mail, I would imagine perhaps sometimes it goes to your main inbox too; but some of you will notice threatening emails sent from what appears to be your own email address, to your email address. They are only spoofing it, and it isn't really sent from inside your own account.
It will make general statements about how they hacked your accounts or your files or accessed your cameras and caught some incriminating and embarrassing secrets which if you don't send them a sum of around $900 worth of Bitcoin, they say they will send the files to all of your contacts.
Well, I know my fellow Entropians would rather do 450 clicks of EP IV on full condition than worry whether or not some secrets might get out. But, there are plenty of people who actually are not aware of this scam, and sometimes they DO have enough specifics such as your old passwords to scare you with (which from all the data breaches that have happened with Google, Wells Fargo, etc, even Yahoo), it is asinine or ten to believe none of your information is out there. But that's rather my point. They MIGHT have your old passwords, but you changed them, right? RIGHT? Right. And that is clearly all they seem to have. If they actually had anything incriminating they would have given you a sample of it to prove they have it.
So; I went and searched on blockchain for the wallet address specified in one of these black-emails.. I figured I could at least see how many stupid people fell for it. Now, I can't imagine someone who is merely guilty of looking at porn, or webcamming or etc being uncomfortable with that being known. The reason I say this is, at least 95 out of 100 times that someone says they don't look at porn, they are lying. I mean, if you are being honest. Everyone wants to say they don't, but almost everyone does. It didn't get to be one of the biggest industries in the world for no reason. So, it stands to reason the people who actually paid up must either be really really guilty of something really bad and deserve to be ripped off, or they honestly were scared and worried about protecting a reputation that isn't in danger but they don't know any better.
Within the last week or so, there were SEVEN payments made to the bitcoin address given in the scam email. Damnedneer a whole bitcoin. That is an awfully high success rate for such a bad attempt at defrauding people.
The senders are probably in a third world country, and they likely do have enough technical knowledge to know how to instill fear in their "mark" with technobabble. All I know is, it is damned, damned hard to make an honest dollar, and it just burns me up seeing people actually making bank off of bullshit. I am a Capitalist through and through, caveat emptor, and laissez faire and all of that. Survival of the fittest and natural selection. But when you have come from the poorest of backgrounds like I have, clawed and scraped for every bit of prosperity that I have; it is downright repugnant and offensive that these people exist and are prospering.
If you MUST spend money, at least spend it to make more money, I wrote many books you can buy, a few of which tell you ways to make money! Every dollar you waste, especially on scams, is a dollar that can't be used to make you more dollars with. Because money is made usually by labor, or at least originally by labor, the money you will ever have, is finite. The effect of throwing $800 away now, results in thousands, tens of thousands, or even more lost in your future because you were not able to put that $800 to work for you. And I know that's a difficult concept for some people. I am still amazed there are people with $5K in the bank drawing less than 1% interest a year, but they keep it there cause "muh interest"... Yet they owe $5K on a credit card that they are paying 30% per year interest on... And its like... You are losing big time by saving there... But some people are beyond hope or help.
The moral of this post is; DO NOT fall for any blackmail emails that hit your inbox asking for bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

Arkadia Moon Deeds; Payouts and Value Forecasts
Look, the moons been out for what, a week? I don't see the deeds trading on the AH yet; must mean there are still some IPO deeds left in the web shop to be issued yet. So, many of you who are skeptical and didn't buy might have questions. Those of you who did buy may not have been around to see what happened with CLD's and even AUD's; the cost of free money in Entropia should never be underestimated. "Free money" costs a LOT in Entropia. That isn't a bad thing, though. What does it mean for us?
The first day's dividends for the moon: A whopping 3 pecs per deed.
Second day: 2 Pecs;
Third day and onward, mostly around 1 to 2 pecs, nothing exciting.
The 30th? No payout on the moon deeds, which tells me the hype maybe blew over for now.
Keep in mind I didn't really see big hofs on the new moon like happened to Monria the first 48 hours of its opening. What will the payouts look like when Arkadia's moon is hoffing and humming along?
I can tell you the moon deeds appear to be more profitable than AUD's. AUD's are up 50% or so of their initial offering price. In a year or two, I fully expect the new moon deeds to be over 100 peds each because they are thus far outperforming the AUD's.
If you put a percentage of all your hofs into deeds, you can't go wrong, worst case some day you need ped and at least you have something to sell, and deeds always trend higher for the most part. Well, COMPET, what a joke lol, could be the exception. Glad I sold all those that I had lol.
Well, a few pecs a deed doesn't sound like much, but when you have 100 or 200 deeds, yeah, its a decent little flow; though I suspect the real profit is when the value of these deeds peaks in the months and perhaps years to come. There is no better chance than now to get in on them if you can.
I could be wrong about my predictions; but its not like these are deeds for Cyrene or Next Island :)

Traders Wanted! Possible Opportunity here!
I have come into some rare items that are hard to find buyers for. Many of you are good traders in Entropia. Many of you even have significant real life contacts that might be of enough affluence to want some of the things that I have that no one else has. If you want to try your hand at real life trading I have a proposition for you.
Any Entropian who finds a buyer for any of my items which I have for sale; will be paid 10% finders fee, in peds, in Entropia. To qualify, if you do find buyers for my item(s); simply message me in game with the name of the person you told about my item if it sells, and if the name you give me is the same person who actually bought the item, I will pay you 10% in peds after the transaction is successfully completed and all funds have cleared the banking system etc.
This is a serious deal; I have a lot of big ticket items that I can't find the markets for, and auction houses freak out when I show them my things. If you want to know what I am going through, just find a strand of real pearls and ask a jewler what they are worth. THAT is the reaction I get from trying to get anything done with this rare stuff I have.
Everything I am selling is worth a great deal more than I am asking for it; but it is what it is, I am happy to take my profit and let someone else have room to take their profit.
If you think you can resell it for more than I am asking, feel free to buy it and I will STILL give you 10% finders fee in PEDs.
I just need my stuff to get selling; times are tough right now.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/352457360093 : Working Title "Gettysburg" (Gone with the Wind) camera stills. Very much unique. (Collectors have confirmed the film that these stills were made from has never surfaced)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/352438089087 : King Ludwig II's red wax courier seal, one of ten commissioned circa 1860's, only one other that I know if exists; this one is pristine and was sold to my friend's friend nearly 50 years ago in a France at an auction. It is the real deal; worth a LOT; but I need to find a buyer for it. Even if you can buy it and flip it for 10x or 100x, I don't care, because why? Because I will have made my profit and am happy to let everyone make theirs.
I have a LOT more rare stuff to sell, but you get the idea. If you need more information, you can always contact me in Entropia.
This is a serious offer. 10% guaranteed. Just allow 1 to 3 weeks for the item to be delivered and for me to know that there will not be any returns or chargebacks etc.

New Moon Rising (ADVICE)
So; Ark's new moon finally launched. What is my advice?
Those of you still around from before and during the Monria launch; recall the first 24 or 48 hours of the Monria craze; many, many big towers were hit.
Think back to the first few months of Explosive Projectiles; big hofs round the clock, now you almost never see them hof like they used to.
MA always seems to loosen things up at the start to draw people in then they tighten it down over time. The best time to try something is when it is new because you don't know what will happen, and hey; I remember a time also when the asteroid was paying well, and yes, that was long time ago too. Over time things tend to get worse in Entropia.
If you want a chance at a miracle, GO to the new moon, and pound it all you can! That is what I will do if I get a chance here! While it might be great in 1, 2, 5, or 10 years from now, it will never pay so well as it almost certainly will in the first few months.
Good luck, happy hoffing!

Finally a new post here...
I haven't been around much to blog, I've had many battles to fight, and I am still fighting them. When your luck in RL is so much worse than EU; you know it is bad. An evil relative railroaded my grandparents entire fortune completely and successfully, which I failed to stop despite the hours spent with lawyers and the like. So. That is minor compared to everything else going on, believe it or not. SO, soon I will be overhauling the blog, and getting caught up on posts I haven't had the time to make.
There are indeed some theories I have satisfactorily proven to be reliable, yet others I have seemingly disproven to myself as well. I really do think a lot of theories are mostly true, its just MA changes things to make them not necessarily true at this moment even if they once were true. I think it is part of the "dynamic" gameplay they refer to.
In any event; I posted a banner that will take you to my Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Wealth Building Opportunity Guide on Amazon, it is also available on google play and elsewhere; I really did run about $1K in cryptocurrency in December up to about $120K worth in January; naturally I talked myself out of taking the profit and well, that was a crash that would even put the Hindenburg disaster to shame. So yes, I have lost essentially 1.2 million PED to real life trading because I didn't sell when I needed to. To top it all off, nothing is selling like it used to, and I have amassed a vast quantity of rare things that well, 10 years ago I would have been rich, but now, good luck I suppose. It is just a cruel cycle, eventually it must break, like all things. Nevertheless; everything in my book was being written as I was positioning myself to reach that pinnacle; what led to my crash was trying to do the opposite of what I normally would do, because what I normally would do is always the wrong thing to do; so no, reverse psychology is not a help in any important matter. If I buy or hold, I should have sold. If I sold, it always goes up in value. The universe is playing the same game with me that Mindark is with we Entropians; by the time we make the ends meet they move the ends on us.
I mostly want to mention cryptocurrency right now, yes it appears dead; but BTC is still 50% higher than where it was a year ago. Its always up year over year. But the altcoins... COPPER was nearly 200 sats a coin in January at one point; now it is down to 4 sats. It is a buyers market, friend. Altcoins are the same thing as penny stocks; and they do cycle as well. You can be sure this winter they will roar to life again as they seem to do every winter. I am trying to rebuild my portfolio so I have a shot at taking my profits again; easier said than done; but struggle I will until everything works out.
I will be bringing you some quality posts concerning Entropia in the very near future. The game is definitely different than it was a year or two ago even, and I think for the better, for the most part. I'm not saying it is better, but at least I feel like there is hope when I play the game unlike last year.
And, would you believe, this is my 200th post!
Which reminds me... There is a class action lawsuit going against Google for wrongful termination of AdSense accounts; in which I am a claimant. I am hoping the Judge really socks it to Google for waiting until someone has earned enough money to be paid and then banning accounts to get out of paying. I did nothing wrong, and I gave the class action folks all of my tangible evidence when I found out I could file a claim in the suit. SO maybe something good MIGHT yet come of this year. I don't mind blogging for free, hell, I am used to doing everything for everyone for next to nothing anyways as it is; if I can just break that cycle too, oh well.

I mostly want to mention cryptocurrency right now, yes it appears dead; but BTC is still 50% higher than where it was a year ago. Its always up year over year. But the altcoins... COPPER was nearly 200 sats a coin in January at one point; now it is down to 4 sats. It is a buyers market, friend. Altcoins are the same thing as penny stocks; and they do cycle as well. You can be sure this winter they will roar to life again as they seem to do every winter. I am trying to rebuild my portfolio so I have a shot at taking my profits again; easier said than done; but struggle I will until everything works out.
I will be bringing you some quality posts concerning Entropia in the very near future. The game is definitely different than it was a year or two ago even, and I think for the better, for the most part. I'm not saying it is better, but at least I feel like there is hope when I play the game unlike last year.
And, would you believe, this is my 200th post!
Which reminds me... There is a class action lawsuit going against Google for wrongful termination of AdSense accounts; in which I am a claimant. I am hoping the Judge really socks it to Google for waiting until someone has earned enough money to be paid and then banning accounts to get out of paying. I did nothing wrong, and I gave the class action folks all of my tangible evidence when I found out I could file a claim in the suit. SO maybe something good MIGHT yet come of this year. I don't mind blogging for free, hell, I am used to doing everything for everyone for next to nothing anyways as it is; if I can just break that cycle too, oh well.
