About the Guide, Disclaimer
To the current VU 10, changing to CE2 engine:
At the moment there are several updates ongoing and the change to a new engine is ongoing.
Hence some features aren't available at the moment or may be not correct anymore. I am
confident that the basics still apply though.
I will try to keep it updated, but won't delete parts that are currently disabled just yet, as they
are meant to return.
The currently disabled parts are especially the mentoring, mindforce (except the teleport
chips) and the beauty professions.
However, I thought it would prove useful to update the things I have information about
already, especially the moving section, since that may cause problems, also for veterans, since
some changes were done.
This guide was written for my disciples in the first place, to offer another way to receive
information instead of just asking me, also to cover times I am not around. This is also an
advantage for other new players, since the start in Entropia can be quite hard, as it is a rather
complex game to join, especially since it is about real money.
The information I gathered partially myself and come from game experience, from forums or
other players and so on. However, I can't guarantee the correctness of the information,
already because an update to EU maybe change things.
So you should keep yourself informed as well, check the official sites
www.entropiauniverse.com and http://www.planetcalypso.com/home/, also the community
links you can find there. Check the small link collection at the end of the guide as well.
Although one aim of this guide is to give an idea how to save money and spend less, by
giving ideas how things work, it is not a "how to get rich" guide.
Also, don't feel the need to follow everything 100%, I try to explain how things work and
give pointers how to do things, but in the end it is basically meant for you to be able to make a
better informed decision on how to do things.
Hope you will have fun reading the guide and that it will help you, I sure had when writing it.

About Entropia Universe and play style
In case you have joined to "earn lots of money and get rich" in here, don't expect to manage
that, at least not that easily. What you should expect is actually to lose money, which has a
quite simple reason. The company which runs this want to have profit, partially to pay wages
partially to grow and maintain business. So in case you trying to get rich by killing monsters,
it is very unlikely to happen.
As this is about real money you can fairly easily deposit but also lose, one warning right
away: Don't deposit what you can't afford to lose!
Yet, although this may sound negatively, it actually isn't. Many, if not most, people play this
as entertainment and are willing to pay a bit per month for example, or buy a new gun or
whatever, without even planning to profit. Just don't overdo depositing to a point you will
regret. If you stay with that you will likely have fun and no regrets.
You can also play without depositing money, but don't expect it to be easy.
I give pointers in the "starting out" section, how to do preserve money, which helps depositors
and non depositors alike.
