What is not mentioned: In the game, cheating is part of the game allows operators. Cheating Player A Player B that's fine even if this means real money is lost. Example: A buys a timecode turns him into a virtual timecode called PLEX and then sell it in the game. If now A deceived by B in the trade with the PLEX he had bad luck.
In addition, the game is characterized by a total loss: You can be shot anywhere. If you have played long and has an expensive ship and expensive implants lose everything at once. Even worse, you forgot to make a clone (a copy of the avatar which his current skill points has) is the Avatar to some time thrown back since you can only passively "level up". In principle, this game can be played only by masochists and sadists long time. The advertised factor huge space battles: As a beginner, you can only participate if you're willing übelst long skill time (years !!!) to accept because the implants will be destroyed at the death of Chars. Will not this one has from the outset to buy a +5 implant set and wait for 1 year and to start about 2x a week login to the spec.
Only those who have enough money can save you time and hassle by having an account for 500 to 1000 Euro 100 million SP Char buys just on eBay and normally enjoys all the possibilities of the game. With a noob char you felt as an immigrant from the Soviet Union who does not speak German has no money, and suddenly is in the Federal Republic in a real supermarket.
Conclusion: For wealthy people who are willing to 1,000 euros for an account to offer and to pay any loss of the ship with real money a quite interesting pastime, especially in terms of space battles (actually thousands of players in a system but this drops Honey barrel with tar: the game server does not create such a number and lags that one has then a frame rate of a pair Bilders per second.
