This may sound weird, but when I was playing, 3k usd deposits seemed ok, for investing into your avatar ... not that 3k usd on a serious level went very far. But now that I have been out of game for a while, it just sounds farking nuts to deposit anywhere near that sort of money into a game in a single hit, even on a serious level. I am not saying depositing money is nuts, I am saying the relative cost to play this game "Entropia" is now getting into the loopy loopy cloud 9 dreamscape sort of nuts to play if they expect items to be of such value when making any sort of ROI is near impossible unless spending values in the 5 to 6 figure 30k to 100K+ range. I am one of these candidates so I won't say this lightly, but anyone depositing big bucks for general play (ie. Non investment of 50k+ USD for LAs and such) should have their head seriously read and re-read lol.
Additional (apparently unknown) issues: * Teaming does not work * Private chat does not work * Private Trade does not work
