First time i saw the news about "Planet Michael" on another forum i thought: "Hmm, "planet"? Could it be... naaaah, probably just a coincidence!"
Today i saw it here too. Whoa, it's not a coincidence at all - it'll be a planet in Entropia! That caused mixed feelings in me, to say the least
On the other hand:
Well, we knew that the new planets will have different settings, most of them not related with our beloved Calypso, didn't we? But "Planet Michael"??! Isn't it a bit overboard, one can ask himself? Depends on the point of view i guess. To a person who used to kill hundreds of mobs each day music and dancing is not that common ingame. But then - what about Rocktropia? It has specific musical setting too. So why is Planet Michael a different thing? Because there's probably no dragon/monster killing? Because it'll be more party related game? It's just unusual. Strange. Unknown. People seems to be scared from new stuff, no idea why.
When i think more about it: The whole Michael thing is actually good. New Planet, new players, new advertising, new blood. Yes, sure it's weird and different but so is the whole Entropia Real Cash concept. Also, it clearly demonstrates the flexibility and the advantages of the MA's Cry2 MMOG platform. Hell - if they can make THIS work, then it means they can do practically anything with it. Just amazing!
And in the end - Michael Jackson was making very good music. I like it.
