With the new changes to mining and the recent opening of Hell, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no systems introduced that are unique to any Planet Partner. I can see why this is, (unfair advantage to one PP by having a certain unique system), but it kind of takes away from the feeling that these are seperate worlds. Treasure hunting will appear in other worlds now just probably with a different name, similar to "Time Travel" being introduced to Rocktropia with the introduction of Hell. Let's face it though, this is just a paid teleporter to a different type of land area. If they ever release Planet Michael, and if combat there is mindforce based as some have posited, you might see another revamp of the MF system (unless the reintroduction already took that into account). But the point is I guess, that this will not be unique to Planet Michael and will be available to all PP's. Where is the uniqueness outside of items and resources and scenery? The gameplay will be basically the same wherever you go. I've said elsewhen that the PP's are just windowdressers and storytellers. I had hoped I was wrong, but it seems not. Customer service will still be in MA's hands since they contol all the PEDs and all the accounts. There will be no unique gameplay anywhere and since loot is controlled by MA, the PP's will be competing via communication and storyline and scenery. Arkadia wins hands down so far if this is the case.
Until one of them becomes smart enough to copyright, trademark and/or patent their unique content or mechanics. Guess I should submit an invoice to them for this informational service.
It's easy to balance out. Specific weapons vs specific mobs that drop specific items. Make stuff like 40% effective outside original planet by tweaking protection etc and there you will have planets with different gameplay.
I think nothing is ever going to unique unless there is the existance planetary restriction. We are the same race colonize in different planets. Now when MA release space we will be able to travel to all planets and they will be still interconnected and items will distributed and sold by space cowboys/pirates. Space will interconnect all planets together. Remember the planets are not separate worlds/games. They are all connected by the same race of avatar and currency. Exactly. That's why all of them are interconnect. And space will belongs to MA. Only one I trust with my CCards and Peds. If Planet Michael had there own separate control over Peds it will a total different game and I will never be in two separate similar game. And if there are no unique game play it won't be "Entropia Universe". It will be something else, it will be a separate game. Love Entropia Universe.
I dont think things are not unique. Ive only been to roctropia the astroid and Calypso. It felt diffrent in each location. It felt diffrent.
