Any business type mmorpgs?

Just curious, I am looking for some type of sim RPG where it could be possible to buy land/build some business/etc. Would be interesting I remember some game I use to play called Itractor(cant remember the name) where you purchased business and driving around used gas, had to have food, etc(people could buy gas stations, stores, etc). Or anything of the sort like this?

 Maybe RISE. I know you can buy land and own mines and farms. However, literal lack of a community. The game itself, being dynamic and largely economics based, is taking a plunge on its own.

Ya, I would have to say I'd be pretty interested in such a game too. The closest things I've seen to what you want were EVE and Second Life, and I refuse to try the latter.

Eve and second life prettymuch. Eve has a good space business sim, but you have to do some sort of combat or harvesting first, but once you have some money you can start a corporation and get your empire running on.

Entropis universe does it best.

I have played Eve and played if for a good few month's, yes there are PoS's but it's not entirely what I am talking about. Most of that content and actually getting a good corp together is very tough, I am more wanting a game the revolves around the economy/building/business/land owning. I will check out Rise and Entropis, any other tips?

 

Second Life seems kind of close, but I don't like the way it's seperated into different "mini games" or "mini sims." It's hard to find other players, and it's all about spending real life cash for shopping and that seems to be about the extent of it.

 It's actually Entropia. Gabby just had a typo.

MaGicBush

Yea I looked into Entropia and it looks interesting at least, but seems like you have to spend a arm and a leg at first to be able to keep the cost down to about $15 a month is that true? 

Rise looked fun, but as you said it seems very deserted. Are there any upcoming games that would be similiar to what I am looking for?

johnmatthais

 Idk, never played Entropia myself.

Rise is just deserted due to its learning curve and lack of combat content, as well as lack of predetermined cities (it was left up to the players to build cities). I don't know of anything like it.

There's going to be that Playboy thing about pimping a playmate like Paul Snider. That's a Hollywood style business isn't it?

MaGicBush

No thanks to the playboy game lol my wife would kill me. So other than Eve, Rise, and Entropia there is nothing else?

From responses Entropia seems very expensive, to be able to play 3 hours a night for a month would cost over $30 a month, and more if I wanted to buy land/shop. That's a bit high for a game.
