Entropia Universe for those not familiar with it offers a 3d online virtual space for interactive entertainment, social networking and e-commerce. Entropia mixes MMO entertainment with a real economy with users conducting hundreds of millions of dollars of annual trade in virtual goods and services since its launch in 2003.

I first covered Entropia Universe in May 2007 when I asked whether it was a better Second Life. It’s not, but it’s still a very smart virtual world platform that combines your Second Life style ecommerce with a basic space focused roll playing sort of game. I’m still happily recommending it for people who want to be active in the virtual world space but prefer a game thread unlike Second Life.
