Preview of New Oxford

Okay, which one of you asked for art galleries in the wishlist section?

But seriously, I read the article (or the translation) this morning and I'm still trying to figure out what the thought process behind this development was. If I want to see art I get into my car and drive to an art gallery or if I want to view it online I go to an artist's website. If I want to attend art classes I sign up IRL and attend them, but when I log in to PE I want to hunt or craft or mine or in short play the game.

As someone said, ads I can see, but ART?

...and this stuff will help us colonists stop the robots from destroying our home exactly HOW?

The artistes need to stay on Earth. The society on Calypso is unable to support Those that are not either directly involved in support infrastructure, or putting rounds into robots.

Whoever authorized the migration of these people to my beloved planet are barking loons. Project Entropia has jumped the shark.

The fight against the robots will be over dude.

Entropia Universe isn't a video game where you level up and kill stuff ... it's a place where virtuality meets reality ... so in this logic, if art is a part of our own society, why wouldn't it be a part of EU society ? I love art, I'm sure lot of people in Entropia Universe love art too, let them enjoy this great improvement in virtual entertainment ! This is not a useless addition to Entropia Universe !

....erm....I've been levelling up.... and it must be said, killing a lot of stuff too.....

Okay, you can level up and kill stuffs ... but you didn't understand the full potential of Entropia Universe ... it's not only a video game.

i agree with mooze on this one, killking and levelling up is fun but its been done for a good ten years now, time to try and be original and see what happens, most likely it will probally flop but lets just see.

Yes, yes, a virtual universe where artists, gamers, and whover else MA thinks has cash in their pocket to grab could all live would be quite nice, and it'd be grand to see...

However, that's not what I signed on here for, and that's not what I've sunk several thousands of PEDs into to see happen to Calypso. I'll wager that the vast majority of the players won't give one wit about New Oxford, save to bring a parade of Atroxes or worse down the main thoroughfare. The planet must be further tamed before the niceties that culture can bring can really be suported on-planet. I'm not gonna throw myself in fromt of some budding Jackson Pollock to save his arse from an oncoming Warlock 09, are you?

In the meantime, I'll be blasting mobs, wecking wascally wobots, and occasionally making Jesters to hand out to noobs. The gun still rules on Calypso.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have them in the GAME (Sorry, we're all coming here for recreation, save maybe for the MA employees, Deathifier, and NeverDie...anyone else that thinks they're gonna make a honest living here? Yeah, right.) system, just that planet Calypso is not the place for them.

Maybe the Imperial government has discovered a another planet that is habitable, is safe for the robot menace, could open up the possibilities of interplanetary trade, and who knows... make this incredible game actually more like a galaxy, if not the "Universe" they're currently claiming Calypso is part of.

After all, one planet and two space stations don't make a universe, boys!

Personnally I like to see the virtual universe expand into other areas and present new graphical entities with which we can interact with at some level.

I would really like to see adverts from real world companies, where upon seeing an advert for something in the real world I like, I can then wander up to a trade terminal or vendor stall and purchase the real world item from inside the virtual universe, and then it turn up on my 'in real life' door step a couple of days later.

Now that would be really cool. Provided that there was some incentive to purchase an item within entropia rather going to a website and ordering for the same money, things would have to be offered up slightly cheaper for it to work.

But of course what I would like and what will happen are not intertwined fates, as I would like to get loot sometimes, but yellow text is all I see of late.

How do I contact MA to add my own masterpiece to the gallery?
