[h=3]ComPet: Behind The Game[/h][h=4]The ComPet Shop: Currencies[/h]ComPet uses a real cash virtual currency: Project Entropia Dollars (PED).
The PED currency is the main unifying factor between ComPet and Entropia Universe. It should be noted that accounts from Entropia Universe are not pre-registered with ComPet accounts, and that it is not currently possible to move PED directly from Entropia Universe to ComPet (or visa versa). Â*Â*
In the ComPet Shop, players have the ability to increase their PED balance through real-cash deposits. Deposited PED can then be exchanged for gold and diamonds in ComPet. Gold and diamonds are ‘soft currencies’: they do not represent real-world monetary value. It is perfectly possible to play ComPet using only the soft currencies. Â*
Here is a quick overview of the currencies and their uses in ComPet:
