Earn an honest PED - Sweating, Rigging and Entropia Partners

Just to confirm. I think in Second Life it is possible to "withdraw" and the money automatically shows up in your SL account. It may even be the money is paid in direct to the SL account as it is earned. Alas my SL account got locked a few months ago thanks to their terrible security system so I couldn't test that option out. I don't have a lot of interest in SL though I have to admit.

Anyhow the point I am trying to make is that it might be a SL regular to the system might be forgiven for expecting peds to appear in game.

Downrange. Just a tip, I may not have understood what you meant by recreate but in case it was several attempts using recreated accounts just make sure you contact MA and ask them to remove the other accounts that you don't plan to use. Just as a courtesy tis all. In theory we are not meant to have more than one account.

I'm sorry it too so long to earn 0.8ped. I think one of the major short falls of this article is that it is a "scientific" (haha) experiment with a data set of 1. ie not at ALL scientific.

I think the problem is that is is really really dependant on where you are in the world, how many other active users there are around you, what the tasks are and so forth. For example I was chatting to some partners users at the weekend who were in america who said there were hundreds of videos if you are based in america... (hmmm I wonder if I'm allowed to use a proxy... can't really see why not - its all work after all).

I think my favourite task when I did it was the "my pretty blue button" one but I have not seen anything that good since (although I admit I only check sporadically).

So yeh I guess the reality is that it will work out differently for different people. I guess I was trying to put over that its worth everyone having an entropia partners account as "a few extra pecs" never hurt anyone. Its fine as long as you use it casually.

I appreciate that can be trickier for new non-depo players as you are really searching for good ped producers. The fun of entropia for so many is the game of survival. Others don't care and just want to blast away haphazardly. Its the old story of time and no money or money and no time. Its good that EU caters for all though.

That said, these days there are a LOT more benefits for new players than there used to be. In the old days we never got any free stuff. Today you have several planets with newbie experiences at the beginning that give out starter kits. It might even be possible to hitch a lift to each of the planets for free. A lot of people will fly there on their own and are happy to take a hitch hiker along for the ride. Especially if they are an enthusiastic new player keen to learn about the game. Gives something do do on the journey. Also space is cool! :D

Going back to earning ped. Have a look at the bottom part of the article. I'd recommend heading to one of the rigs, probably the one in the burnt out oil field. You will get about 40 to 50 pecs every 20 mins or so.

All the best and thanks for posting and welcome to the universe! :D

 

It is so very kind of you to take the time to grant me this advice Wistrel. Im am going to take your advice on ALL counts. Ill make a SL account and try it out, and I will contact entpartners


Noooooo!

I mean if you are a SL player, there is a facility to withdraw to the SL account and it may even be automatic! It won't help you though. You should keep your entropia partners EU account but remember to use the withdraw button! Your ped balance will not be updated automatically. As you can see in my article there is even a detailed explanation of the withdraw process... (I'm actually somewhat confused as to how you could have missed that..)

With regards deleting unused accounts I refer only to EU accounts you are not using.

 

ahhh I haven't spent much time on Arkadia yet. I went there but had to go back to Caly for something... deeds iirc and then found caly had changed so much during my time in space (I was exploring other planets) I have yet to leave again. So I'm afraid I am on the wrong planet.

There are certainly 2 rigs on Caly (the burning oil fields and the one to the east side of eudoria) and 2 on Rocktropia (the keg and the hunt the thing area). I don't know if cyrene or arcadia have them. Anyone?

Hi Robert great response and additional info there. As you know, I didn't spend too long on the treasure hunting but its interesting to know you can win ped and also that they do the "buy backs". I wonder what the criteria is for choosing the item... I'll have to ask them about it. I plan to do a follow up article soon on Ent Part and another on other sites.

Its interesting to see that another UK person sees a lot of the click click to promote a casino link. I think I see a lot of these too but didn't know about the midnight thing. Yes they seem to be 40pec jobs. The Virool thing will be covered in my next article. Its quite interesting! ;)

Cheers for the reply

Yeh I noticed they have a forum now and that was one of the topics. Essentially to build a wealth of evidence to help legitimise the site and earn trust. I'll be doing a follow up article in due course hopefully covering some of the new features

 

Well I did conclude that it was essentially "slave labour" ;) But yeh I think ultimately it comes down to that convenience factor. That said I would say that cause myself I've only used the site when the muse took me. i.e. aside from researching for the article its been sporadic, "I have 5 mins to kill" sorta thing. Occasionally I pop on and see a 5 ped'r ok. That is bugger all 25p if you like but some of those higher paid ones were sorta fun. Almost game ish cause they tended to be uni research projects or something.

That said, I was tempted to write to one of those uni's and explain the discrepancy between the time taken to complete their work and the poultry amount that was being paid. I didn't get round to it though. Additionally I was comparing that analysis to the sort of cash they offer for "come in and do something" style projects. I understand it is important to offer people more for these than some mass participation online thing. If there wasn't any sort of reasonable comparable hourly rate no one would bother.

I've heard some interesting stories from Tia though about the people who use EntPart. I really should do a follow up article some time... and finish the Ped2click one...

 

Well today I made my 2nd withdrawal from Entropia Partners. Now a bad little haul. There were a lot of high paying tasks around christmas which was pretty useful. Plan is to speculate on AUD's ;)

They now do a bonus for proof of withdraw pictures (pretty good initiative that) so here is mine. Thought it might make a nice round off to the story.

 

I really should update this review one day.... the site changed a whole bunch in the intervening years.
