Could go either way I think. I'm certainly going to check it out.

It's probably just too big is what I worry. Some of the purpose is to go out and discover things, and others can see what you've discovered. But why would anyone when there's so much else to see and discover for themselves? There will also be resource gathering, crafting and trading systems in place. And there's space combat if you're so inclined. Will have to see how it all works out. But I'm interested.
