Looking at it myself.

I was dismayed that it is basically a '[w:Microsoft] User Only' space. From the download page:

Why are Macintosh or Linux not supported?

The Entropia Universe is built on a graphics engine from NDL, which currently requires DirectX from Microsoft to run. There are currently no plans to make the Entropia Universe available on other platforms than the Microsoft compatible PC.

That knocks off an immediate 3 points of 10 on a review - 1 for each mainstream operating system not supported and an extra point for not supporting BOTH.

The next thing was the installer itself. While a small initial download, there's no indication on how large the installation is itself in download size - DUMB - so it loses another point, leaving it with 6.

THEN when it was doing it's little deal, I see one time for downloading at 32.1kbps to be estimated at 12 hours... Screw That. It can't be THAT good. Loses 1 cool point there, too.

So that's 5 out of 10. Not interested. Do better.
