[...] some of TC coverage has been misguided, the overall flavor that Second Life has issues at TC is factual and well supported by coverage [...]

I have to say SL is better.
Now understand Entropa looks way better and the animation is nicer, but you can’t do crap. SL allows the user to be creative where in EU all I saw were 10 year olds (Yes they said thats how old they were) Shooting alien monsters. In EU you start with nothing but a prison issue jumpsuit, you are thrown into this world no money no weapons where the people are not that friendly (again my experience only here). There isn’t much more a point to it other than pay up or leave. In Sl you can make money but it isn’t impossible to get a new set of clothes or a weapon without having to shell out real cash. I think if EU were to be more noob friendly and give some starting money I wouldn’t be so dissapointed with it. Again EU beuatiful game that just sucked. SL not as pretty, amazing concept but kinda boring. I hope a new game simular to these comes about but is more fun to play.

Oh yeah and how in the heck does sweating for money make any damn sense?

As a veteran Entropia player I can say that withdrawal times using bank account transfers can take three months if you are a first time withdrawer with unverified account info. Verified players has reported times down to half a day. With the ATM it takes the time it takes to get money out of an ATM, usually less than a minute.
