Entropia Universe does the opposite! The client software is free to download over the Internet and there are '''no subscription fees''' associated whatsoever. The real cash economy means that the internal Entropia Universe economy is linked to the real world economy, by using a currency called the [[/Entropia Universe Dollar/]] ([[/PED/]]), which have a fixed exchange rate to the US Dollar (10 [[/PED/]] equals 1 USD). | Entropia Universe does the opposite!

This requires a lot of cooperation and specialization – one man cannot make it all. This means that the players need to collaborate when it comes to advancing the level of development; it is better to have a specialized miner searching for minerals and an expert tools manufacturer making tools.
