I saw the trailer of Entropia and this is what's needed in sl. Windlight isn't a spec on the engine this other game has. This is what sunlight, shadows, reflections and everything associated with it ought to look like in sl but won't as windlight won't ever come close to this engine. Check out this trailer at this website: www.entropia-universe.com This is a google site, just click on Entropia on the very top of this page and it will take you to the page where the trailer is. Forget about playing this game. It's terrible especially for newcomers as they don't have any kind of tutorial except for walking and you already know how to do that. Once you create your avatar which by the way continues to fade in and out making it impossible to create to your liking you go to the newcomers area which has nothing there to show you anything. Some helpful people around but no one wants to continue to ask question after question. I tried it and I got so frustrated I deleted it off my computer without a second thought. But the lighting system in the trailer is awesome. I was a member of entropia for about a week.. I personally hated it.. pretty but hard to use, you get killed too often... impossible to do ANYTHING without spending USD (This coming *me* lol...), and I could barely even move around... Pretty, but hard to use in my opinion.. SL even with it's quirks is easier to use. |

Just curious how long it took any of you to download it because it says 4hrs on my machine, which is insane! Took me about one and a half maybe? Somewhere from one to one and a half or two hrs. Whereas sl takes about 1 minute. |

less than 2 hours to install, runs on my old 700mhz with 384 ram (well below their minimum specs), graphics in game were unimpressive, but I didn't dies more than 3 times, (hint: run! hint2: beasties drown if they follow you in the water very far) you start with nothing, and guess what, your only real option gets you about the same after several hours... don't expect to get much out of this game if you don't throw a little money at it, and definitely forget the marketing hype about making money (it's possible if you invest enough, otherwise it's like the lottery) if you can stand (or like) games with unending grind, you could do well here... it's definitely more mindless than farming for items in any game I know of (except maybe heroin hero)
