Whoa, that's weird. I never bothered trying the game but I suppose it can be good.

Junk car with a new coat of paint is still a junk car.

Hi! I'm Earl Shieb.  I can paint your car for $99.95.

They should work on gameplay first, then lag/stability issues, then graphics.

Hahaha  Unfortunately, that's going to be a few hundred thousand dollar paint job for Entropia. I doubt the license for the new engine will be cheap.

I agree. They need to give at least some type of newbie guns/armor/ when you first start ( since it's supposedly a "free" game) and change that godawful mess they call a ui and controls. If they wanted to accurately call it a free to play game, then it should have been set up along the lines of AO, with the ability to play the game without absolutely having to pay for the expansions or any other content.This game should have never been listed as a free game on any site, as you cannot play it in any sort of successful way without plunking down a credit card. Who the hell wants to spend their first two or three weeks "Sweating" mobs, continually dying while doing so, just to afford some non-descript little pea shooter?

first off, OOOOO BABY THAT GAME SHOULD LOOK SWEEEEET (should....)

second off, are you kidding i love sweating animals.....wait...... your talking about in a game??? oooo i thought you meant RL....shit...who the hell would make a game about that?!?

That Mindark is planing CryENGINE 2 in midt 2008, is all but good news.  Players like myself who has 4+years experience with Mindark knows that this will not happen before 2009.
 If its something you learn while playing Entropia, when it comes to release dates and doing things at a set date, Mindark has a long way to go.  Longer then any game developer Ive ever delt with.

This is exactly whats wrong with modern MMO's... They think they can win every gamers heart by making astonishing looking graphics and crap gameplay.

Clearly these people do not play their own games... That even goes fro Brad, former CEO of Vanguard, i doubt he even tried his own crap ass shit hole game.

This game is going to suck, and the thing with real money is going to suck aswell... It wont work... Simple as that, it wont work.

While I could care less for the game, it will be interesting to see what an MMO with the CryENGINE 2 will look like.

What is wrong with everybody. Entropia really is a great game. Are you guys sad because you ccan't immediately go around killing everything in sight? I don't think the game was ever meant to be like that. As for the visual upgrade, it will be a nice addition to an already great game.

whoah...crytek engine?....count me in.

I have played far cry so much, my CD only has one side...this game was GREAT.  I never could figure out why they didn't make a sequal to it, but i guess now i know.  This game engine could make Ogre Island look sweet.

Entropia has missed my radar until now...i am going to have to check this game out before and after the cry updates..

Even best of the best graphic engine won't help this game, because it is just boring.

If they would put there series of quests with skill ups rewards only, it would be much more interesting. Even Runescape with so crappy graphic is more fun than this.

And I was able to kill almost all mobs around starting area. But it is not fun, its very boring.
