Ok I say Tranquility of Rocktropia,
That's if you ignore the Rockstars blowing things to peices, or the fembots shouting at you.

Walking through the streets near City of Dreams is pretty nice and relaxing,
I figured I would take a walk and look for fruit and stone,
Popped a few fem bots along the way.

I diddn't find any fruit nor stone but meh, got a little loot so who can complain at that.

This is what I love about the immersive nature of MMO's like this.
You can litterally do what you want.

Now im not turning tree hugger on you all,
I still like to try to pvp, Try being the word of choice....

and I hunt as much as the next guy,
And occasionally mine and craft.
But mainly hunt.

But there comes those times when Ped is a little scarce.. But you have all the TP's so what do you do?

Take a walk, Discover diffrent aspects of the game you wouldn't really notice before.

For instance.
Walking along the road, With the wind blowing the trees,
and it feels real becuase the wind changes direction,
so the 3d Audio used is quite somthing,

then there are the shaders and shadows,
Somthing else.
Absolutly brilliant, I have loved the cry engine scince it was created.

If I am not mistaken the first cryengine actually destroyed computers becuase it was so powerfull at the time,

Then came Cryengine 2,
The first to use of course was Crysis,
And if you havent played Crysis I reccomend it.

But there is one problem with Crysis, If you considder it at all to be a problem,
Is that you get so tied up with the combat and the fast paced storyline that you dont actually notice the beautiful artwork and features that have gone into it to make it feel so immersive.

However, Entropia Universe gives you the chance to do that.

Calypso is nice don't get me wrong, PA would be perfect if it wasnt for the Scifi style Towers, And Dock.

As for everywhere else on calypso the trees are bizzare.. pink purple...
Oshiri hearts... Bubbles??!!?

Ok what ever.

but Rocktropia, It's perfect.

From the Post apocalyptic waste land to the gothic styles,
And the tranquil tropics of City of Dreams,

Yes ok you could argue and say the sky scrapers in City of Dreams are Scifi,
Ill give you that,

But take a walk along the roads away from the buildings and you will see what I mean,

The artists/Mappers have done a fantastic job with RT I feel,

I think personally a few things could be tidyed up a little,
But 70% of the players are too busy hunting, PVPing etc to notice the minor flaws.

So with Calypso being Scifi,
And Rocktropia being more fantasy i think EU is onto a winner,

It all takes time,

I hear so so many people talking about RT has lost its magic for them,
Or Its not going anywhere etc,

Well you havent given it a chance,

RT is still in it's infancy and I say the best is yet to come.
And If I am wrong may a million Hendrix Dragons Rip me apart!

I say Go ND studios!, Keep up the good work,

Look forward to the fututre!

Andy.
