The world will be targeted at Chinese users uniquely, but will eventually allow for interplanetary travel and commerce.

Quote:

That sort of speed in China requires hosting within the country, though, as all external Internet traffic must pass through a bottleneck of government-controlled gateways.

David Simmons confirmed that the world will be hosted inside of China.

Quote:

We’re taking control of our world. The world government and economy, we’re taking care of it. What happens in other worlds that give over the code to users is that it becomes like the real world, a sort of anarchy and chaos."

Quote:

Simmons explained that The Cyber Recreation Development Corporation, which is partly owned by the Chinese government, will be coming out with its own rules and regulations soon, and MindArk can't comment until those are available. "Basically it will be an extension of Entropia," he said, "and they will be running their own planet and deciding a lot of what happens."

anarchy and chaos, no difference to this world where mindark controls everything ... so in the very very end, we seem to be all human

You can't mention Duke Nukem, can you ? lol
Best in game quote- When Duke walks up to a Duke pinball game "Hmmm, don't have time to play with myself"

Even if we don't see the other planets for years, hopefully that technology will be moved over to sweden and who knows, maybe autostack looted ammo will make a come back!
