Entropia Universe Genesis

Genesis is a virtual environment where you can learn the basics of Entropia Universe and socialize with other new arrivals before you continue on your journey to an Entropia Universe planet. It has been introduced in VU 11.6.

From the release notes: "We now introduce Genesis. This is a small client (around 300MB) where new account holders can enter the virtual environment and learn the basics of Entropia Unvierse while the the next destination is downloaded in the background. Genesis includes a few quick tutorials and short quests aimed at newcomers. This is where CharDef (Avatar Customization) is placed now and the new account holders can also try different garments on and chat with other avatars. Note: We have increased the variation possibilities for newly created avatars' appearances. Therefore, in a coming release, we will give all current participants the opportunity to customize their avatar appearance again."

Hanne|SDS: "Genesis is a platform startroom, a sort of lounge for the newcomers to stay in while the planet of choice downloads in the background. There's chardef there, movement&camera tutorials and some simple quests. But Genesis doesn't have any profession quests or detailed tutorials like the Gateway, where you can try out Calypso's focus professions. Its one big building, you can't go outside and there's no creatures there."
