Hello all,
a friend of mine was stuck at No way out of prison and wanted to get out so badly that he offerd to pay the 80 peds if I bring him a big tp chip and Mind Essence.
So there I am on RT, a planet I never imagined I would fly to for the various reasons I have mentioned in so many threads. That said I thought, well its free, so check it out. Here we go
I arrived, tp's towards the prison and BAM was instantly dead. Took me a while to figure out that I needed a phone and stuff. As I was in a rush to get to my friend I skipped the exploring part and had my soc help me to do this quickly. I thought, if you were a new player, this is something that could potentially be pretty cool (as it keeps you ingame for a bit, without having to spend ped that you might not even have yet). For an old time player it was rather annoying cause I know my way around etc. Maybe implementing an option that if you first TP to Rocktropia, you get the stuff (so you can continue with your gameplay) and if you are a new player, well then enjoy getting the stuff and learning about the game.
So then I did a little exploring. The TP's are sometimes wide spread, sometimes very close together unlike Calypso where a minor jump is almost getting your from one tp to another - Not a bad thing. All in all the planet is reasonably accessible with many area ideal for a miner and concentrated spots with mobs (that I liked).
After a little chat with some soc members I pulled my Isis and started shooting Zomibes. Spend about 1k ammo, had the odd global and found quite a few items in loot (mostly mindforce chips which made me happy since I enjoy skilling that).
Other then zombies you find a lot of uber creatures and also something that can only described as 'hookers'.
This is where I once again was reassured that it was a ND run planet. So there are 'girls' in underwear dancing in front of me looking like whores whilst I listen to rock music screaming words like '!!!!!!!!!!!!' '!!!!' 'fuck' and the rest. Great I thought since afaik you can play this game when you are 12 ... So unless you make this planet 18+ this is totally out of order.
The music itself is anything but rock. Lots of ghetto rap with many swear words and lots of really bad tunes that noone ever heard about it tbh ... Where is the rock I thought???
After finishing shooting half naked sluts and after I turned down the music (just too god aweful), I went mining. In a nutshell, the same as on Calypso really.
Problem here, same with hunting, all the RT stuff has absolutely no markup on. I now have over 1k ped of RT stuff and am tempted to tt it all as there isn't even a chance to sell it at auction for 101%.
Conclusion
RT is not that much different from Calypso. The problems here are that there is virtually no player base. I have counted half an hour and sometimes even more inbetween 2x globals and the auction has a mere 27 pages last time I looked. The missions are either bugged (i.e. not doable) or rewardless. The RT gear is (today) worthless as seemingly there aren't any good bp's out or there aren't any interested crafters. The music is mediocre at best and often extremely offensive in its language (no concern to me, but thinking about the kids playing this game, huh). The mobs are different and do give out interesting items (low level, but still) but those half naked dancers have ND written all over (and again, kids playing the game, huh). This trip leaves me with the exact same opinion that I had prior to going up there. It isn't worth the travel fee, especially for miners as half the time you mine tt ores/enmatter and the other half you would find on Calypso/Amethera as well.

(someone posted a closeup-pic of one of them and it had neverdie written across the chest)
This is just TOO much. I was hunting vixens with a scope and a marber and when it was dead with a shot I noticed the words "NEVERDIE" on the top. Omg...just... it's too much self-adulation.
