Game balance and the general acceptance of the game depend on this, so a lot of effort has been made to ensure the functionality of these systems. The currency used in Project Entropia is convertible to any major currency of the real world. This means, that if for example one user by solving a quest has found a buried treasure containing valuables or cash and if she or he chooses she or he can sell the valuables and transfer the money to his her real world possessions. Most items in the Project Entropia Universe which has some use has a value and can either be bought in shops within Project Entropia Universe, be traded with other users, or perhaps be found in the environment. At the stock exchange markets of various business and companies within the Project Entropia Universe may be bought or sold.
Casinos are the places where users loose or if they are lucky win money.
The rules of real world international casinos apply here. To make the streets of our cities even more interesting we will let companies from the real world set up shops, department stores, and supermarkets where they can display their products in 3D and reach an extremely large and well defined market. Project Entropia has incorporated an especially adapted e-commerce software module to support this type of function. Real world companies will also be given the opportunity to display advertisements etc. We are at the absolute forefront of what software and hardware technology permits.
