Which is the best Entropia Universe planet to to start on? This page is supposed to give a rough overview
This page is part of the general Entropia Universe Guide and referred to in the Entropia Universe beginners guide.
If you are still undecided which planet to choose you might want to ask for recommendations on the forums: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/forums/tutorials-guides-and-help.22/.
Which planet to start on
Choosing the "right" planet to start on is really important. This choice is already being made by registering your Entropia Universe account via the website of your planet of choice. If you register your account via the official Entropia Universe website you can choose a planet when leaving the universal introductionary area called Genesis.
Although gameplay is not much different across the planets each planets has a specific setting and potentially offers opportunities different from the other planets. Also one planet might be more newbie friendly than the other and offer activities less expensive than other planets.
Once you have chosen a planet traveling from this planet to another quite likely will cost you a few PED (10-30). Also it is dangerous to transfer belongings in the form of stackable items because space is an area with Player-versus-Player combat where other players can loot your stackable items if they manage to kill you.
Furthermore the planet partner of your planet of origin will receive a part of the money you spend in EU, even if you spend it on another planet. You might wish that this part of the money you spent in EU will go to the planet you like the most and that way support the development of the planet.
So choose your planet to start on carefully!

ROCKtropia is the first virtual music world; destinations include Zomhattan and rock icon Lemmy Kilmister's castle. The inevitable destruction of the immortal city due to the "deadly virus" has bred a whole new level of terror and horror into the streets of Zomhattan as the dead have risen. With the virus continuing to spread, the city burroughs of Zomhattan have become warzones infested with junkies, thugs and kingpings all capitalizing on the infection by controlling the sales and distribution of antitoxins to the uninfected as well as operating the black market trades in zombie body parts and plasma. Defend Kevin Rudolf's B.A.M.F. HQ or take on the gangs, run the streets, become the kingpin. Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead has established his castle and private army in the outer reaches of ROCKtropia. You will have the opportunity to join Lemmy's army by proving yourself through a series of tests and trials that will take you to the depths of hell and back. |
