Entropiauniverse/planet calypso is a MMOPRG with a real cash econamy. Its set in the future so no elves or orcs here.
1 dollar gets you 10 PED. And its a two way street.. you can take money out of the game aswell as put it in. You can hunt/mine/craft/all the usuals. Skills can be transfered or sold. In game auction...ect And for all you FPS.. we have LOOTABLE PVP

Speaking for myself i have played for 4 years. 2 of those years i was a "depositer" spending about 100 bucks a month. But that was my choice.. my level of gameplay, i could have spent much less.
2 years ago i stopped putting my own money into the game and started playing by my wits. last year I earnt/won 20 thousand dollars.
