Which are the top 3 best VUs of all time?
I have wanted to create this poll for some time now, but knew it would be quite a bit of work to put together. Well, I have finally gone back through Entropia's entire history to try to come up with a list of all the most significant VUs MindArk has ever put together and released to the playerbase and now I want to know which 3 you think were the absolute best VUs ever.
