By utilizing a real cash economy, Entropia Universe eliminates subscription fees that players usually have to pay in order to become a part of a massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). Within Entropia Universe, players have the opportunity to invest their own currency into the game in order to purchase and sell virtual land and equipment, further boosting their persona (avatar) within the game. In return, players have the option of transferring their Entropia Universe dollars back into real life currency, often times producing a profit through various investments. The world allows players to become part of a community while promoting acquisitions and investments. Because real cash is involved, players have a more vested interest in the success of the universe, as well as the successes of their entities.
