Pay to Play II - Project Entropia

Posted by michael on from the delta-s dept.

Gonzago writes: "God knows how many hours I spent mining or chopping down trees while playing Ultima Online. The dedication (spelled a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n) I had to that game would have made me some serious cash if I applied it to a real life job. Now I can have my cake and eat it too! At least that's what the people behind Project Entropia would have me believe. Not only does the premise behind the game look cool, but players will trade amongst one another with real money. Anyone want to buy some armor?" There's an article on CNN which briefly covers the game's premise: pay the company for all the equipment you need in-game, and it all slowly degrades - Entropia, get it?

    I have now suceeded in posting the first post, otherwise known as a "fr0st p1st" or an "fp." I am, without a doubt, the most elite reader on this website. Please, hold your applause. I am masturbating to my accomplishment at the moment!

    Moderate this down please. The meept has noticed that the signal to noise ratio on this story has fallen 49:51 in the direction of signal.

    The meept needs this comment moderated down to bring back the balance to 50:50.

    The meept suggests offtopic, or troll. The meept will allow you to decide. Then you can go back to concentrate on masturbation, you girfriendless social inept. But don't let the meept sway your decision. The meept is sure one day you will discover girls instead of a keyboard.

    MEEPT!!

    What the hell are you thinking linking to such a personal website like that from Slashdot? Not only is this a den of nasty, petty people, but there are some pretty questionable things on your website that can raise the ire of people (what's with hanging out with early-teens? Are you the "booze provider"?).

    Rock on bro.

    fuck you and your useless fucking tests. why dont you go hook up a car battery to your testicles to test if your eyes will bug out. fucking hell, it will prove a lot more than your test to see if the moderators are all cockmasters.

    here's a hint, they are
