Question: Planet Roster..... Are they serious?

[The Daddy]

Ok so now theres planet Calypso and ROCKtropia.
Now i dont know if anyone has ever looked on the entropiauniverse.com website at the planet roster theres a list of planets... currently Calypso and Rocktropia, also a few others that are comming soon, SEE virtual world, Creative Kingdom and 2 others.

Now my point is that the list continues with the rest just saying.. Planet 7, Planet 8, Planet 9 ect ect... well u get the point and this goes on all the way down to Planet 32.

Is there really plans to impliment 32 planets in total, however long it might take? if so could you imagin downloading the game for the first time with that many planets in it lol. The download for the game is almost 5GB as it is now, how big would it be if there were 32 planets. You would need a 160GB HDD just for entropia... forget having it on your C: drive.

First of all, the idea of 32 different planets is pretty awesome from the perspective of amount of content and things to do. It does split up the player base though.

More on point though... it depends on how much they share art assets. If they re-use the same art assets in many places then it won't increase the size much at all. The actual code is tiny (a few megabytes), it's the artwork and sounds that take up almost all of that 5GB. If they make 32 planets the size of Calypso and don't re-use any artwork, then it would likely end up at 160GB. If they re-use a lot of the artwork but add some new character art, then it will only add a little bit here and there.

Also, who is to say they won't allow you to choose which pieces to download? If you don't plan on going to Planets 3-32 then you could choose to not download that content.
