Can we expect any VU before that ??

Yes, there will probably be one bug-fix release before 9.0. No ETA though.

ok so i hate to piss on anyones bonfire but stop wetting yourselves..... wring your nickers dry and step back a second.


The chances of ingame armor looking as good as the shiney out of game example are slim.... fact is the out of game previews will be prettier since they dont use the ingame engine and will have been done with some tidy 3d renderer.

Armor prices will now go up on more pricey armor since they know have a "cosmetic value"


Tbh i would prefer a ingame addition rather than them trying to make armor and clothes pretty.

"Look at how cool this is! It isn't done with what we are releasing...but look how cool it is!"

....wondering about this myself.

I Really REEEALY truly hope we get in the upcoming VU the overall quality that they are showing in their Shadow sneak-peek.
It's exhilarating just to think about ! Dang I'd sell off my SL land and live exclusively in EU!

MA with the excitement you've generated today you REEELY Truly need to deliver the goods here, or there will undoubtedly be some REEELY REEEEELY disgruntled and angry Participants conducting a freekin' Calypsian Bastille Day right there in good ol' Sweden. And Then they'll quit the game.

But as professionals I'm sure you're already aware of the potential for disaster.

Please MA, we're counting on you -- don't mess this up......


And so we wait, patiently...

Does that mean that the avatars will have to be built up from the beginning, or will we get to work out from a "look alike" of our old avatar's features?
I kinda like Skam the way she is, surely new gfx on her would be great though!

He already answeared that. I guess you can find it among his relatively recent posts.

It is kinda of fun, as it is really an old visual bug. But it has become part of the Entropia history and legacy and we dare not fix it now. =)

Yeah, because you don't want the market for coats to take an almost fatal blow.

Oh, and do you want the Vexed clothes to sell for similar markups? Then please appeal to the development team to allow us to wear those Ninja jackets under armor as well.
(Forgive me if this has already been changed, but I had support tell me it would never happen and I haven't tried in a while.)

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

I don't care, give me bugs, crashes, rubber banding, no loot until X-mas, but GIVE ME MY NEW AND IMPROVED SHADOW!

[JayDee]

Well it IS a 3D world and looks are highly important.

Hope they add some more land to explore and some new things to play with. Hope the hunting loot is better to.

We understand that it is very much desired and takes it seriously.
