It was possible to make money in entropia universe (Then called Project Entropia). Hell I did it. I sold my account for a little over $15k USD when I got out of it in 2005. Bought a Delorean with the funds. :D Now days it's pretty much just a glorified casino as others have mentioned. The only people who make money now are mindark, and the players that have been around since the beginning and have the highest skills and gear that isn't available anymore. 98% of the player base is going to lose pretty much everything they put into the game. My advice to anyone interested in the game is just treat it as subscription based. Set a monthly allotment of what your willing to spend and only put that in it every month. I got bored with it mainly because nothing ever changed. It was just logging in and doing the same crap day after day. MA has also been promising a switch to a better graphics engine since early 2005.. I know as of a few months ago (last time I logged in) That still hasn't happened..

I'm doing this at my house, and my living room isn't that big. I bought a Benq pb6100 new for this. It's only 800x600 but it's 1500 lumen and DLP. It looks nice in my opinion, and they only run $1000-1200 new. It also has an economy mode that lets you squeeze 3000 hours out of the lamp. I use a light grey 73" pulldown window shade from lowes for a screen though, and i've never had a problem with room lights, and the grey offers great contrast. Just my two cents
