Am I missing anything

Hey there and welcome back Justin. The new planets, well people do not agree on them. Some people LOVE them and some HATE them. The problem if you ask me at this time with the planets is that they are just not finished. A lot of bugs (even more then on Calypso) and content that is not there yet. And not to forget an overkill of Neverdie on both of them (that is why people hate them for the most part).

I am waiting for Cyrene and Arkadia to launch before I will be playing seriously again because I (and many more with me) have high hopes for those because of the way we are already getting info from the developers and they are asking for our help and feedback even before the planets are launched. I would say go an look at the websites of both the new and the yet to be released planets and go see for yourself.

in short:

Calypso - the same but with vehicles and missions
Rocktropia - Still needs a lot of work and has a overkill of Neverdie
Next Island - Needs even more work
Cyrene - high hopes, with a bit of exciting info already
Arkadia - Very high hopes with quite a lot of info already (check out the storyline)
Other planets - Who knows ??!!

 

RAZERS quote with my additions under each line;

Calypso - the same but with vehicles and missions
+rookie gear and puny mobs, +a seperate starter area for new players before they actually get to port atlantas, + forts for pvp battles with objectives besides just stack up kill points, + weekly land grab instead of annual, + lots of other stuff

Rocktropia - Still needs a lot of work and has a overkill of Neverdie
+starter missions, +dragon plate blueprints, +juelz sniper rifle bps, +shops and booths, +new mobs a couple weeks ago, gangsters and sharks

Next Island - Needs even more work
+ancient greese was introduced requiring 3 crafted time travel crystals that have sold for as much as 5kped a peice (only one person has claimed to have gone and it was pretty much unplayable, NI paid for their return and gave them 500ped prize money for a screenshot competition there (they were the only participant)

Cyrene - high hopes, with a bit of exciting info already
+recently put out a test website that people found and are giving feedback on, still no ETA for launch that I know of

Arkadia - Very high hopes with quite a lot of info already (check out the storyline)
Alot of people are excited, a lot of the same people and excitement I saw for next island (hopefully they aren't dissapointed again)
Great website and forum, the devs are former players from calypso and seem to have a good grasp of what people want.

Other planets - Who knows ??!!
Planet Michael - based on Michael Jackson and is rumored to have dance type battle and fighting tractors? (I really dont know anythign about it)
An Arabian Planet - Not much known about them, but If done well I think could really be a top contender for places I would want to see. (who knows the reality though)

The universe is set up now and growing rapidly, If you go at it with an open mind and want to have fun, I think that you can try exploring everywhere from now on and not catch up.

I know that I havent done or seen everything on Rocktropia yet and ive been dedicated to it for 3/4 of a year now. Just a couple weeks ago someone showed me a hidden televator beside a mountain he found while mining that lead down to a hidden club complete with all terminals and auctioneers. (Rocktropia is full of hidden passageways and cave systems, its amazing) But in the meantime I haven't done many of the Calyspo missions, any of the NI missions, and still have a bunch of Rocktropia missions to do.

Regardless of your budget, there is a ton of fun in the Universe and opertunities everywhere on all planets depending on your tastes.

Welcome Back!

Hi Justin :)

Everything has been covered pretty well, so I figured I'd just say hi.
