This is the roadmap that was released in 2004, most of it is alredy here but there is still some cool stuff to come. Watever they mean with the May VU they must have planned and devoloped it for a long time so i think its something in the list below.


A selection of content coming during 2004-2005
In no particular order of priority. Marked in green is alredy implemented

* Add new functions to auction – adding functions like purchase orders of bulk items.
* Add new functions to societies – society functions will be deepened and much more control will be issued.

* Add new levels and professions for crafting.
* Add stats to tools – tools will get the same amount of info as weapon and armor counter-parts, making it easier to assay them.
* Advertising/Department stores – set up shop in a department store, advertise your stuff and become a successful retailer.

* Bars – Bars will be places of relaxation and entertainment, everything a weary avatar needs.
* Beauty/Body shops – Shops where you can alter the looks of your avatar, with completely new appearances and styles, including piercing and tattoos.
* Bounty hunting system – are you annoyed because you got killed by some bully? Set a contract on him and make him pay the consequences.
* Carpentry – new crafting profession, making furniture and other similar items.
* Crafters will be able to repair items – meaning you don’t have to run back to the imperial communal repair terminals.
* Enhanced chat/messaging system – allowing for more advanced functions, like grouping, blocks and offline messaging.
* Event tools – make tools available for Project Entropia participants to organize their own events, with ticket sales, area rentals and rules.
* Food/Drinks – a new crafting profession, food and drinks will enhance the avatar abilities.
* Huge Mindforce update – both the way Mindforce the interface works as well as numerous new powers.
* Land management system – you want to enhance your lands with new creatures, or perhaps add new minerals to it? Go ahead.
* New planets – what lies beyond Calypso?
* Notary/Reputation system – are you good or evil? Can you be trusted or not? This system will help determine what kind of person the avatar is.
* Space exploration/combat – discover new areas in space, mine asteroids, fight pirates, enhance your space ship with additional equipment, weapons and shields.
* Taming system – ever wanted to own your pet Atrox and ride it off towards the sunset? This system makes it happen.
* Update “Pre-Gold” items to “Ancient” status – some items are truly rare and respected.

* Vehicles – be a bus driver or maybe a heavy machinery operator. Or make a living hauling large quantities of ore.

Here's the content list.. =)

VU 8.4 Content List
ENTROPIA UNIVERSE VERSION UPDATE 8.4
2006-05-30

*** PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT IF YOU FIND SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN THE ENTROPIA UNIVERSE! IT MIGHT PROVIDE THE INFO YOU NEED BEFORE CONTACTING THE ENTROPIA UNIVERSE SUPPORT DEPARTMENT! ***

VERSION UPDATE FEATURES

Music Streaming
Audio streaming is now provided by the owner of the Asteroid, allowing the latest sounds to be brought direct from Earth to Club Neverdie and its surrounds. The audio streaming may be enabled or disabled from the Client Loader Options and is provided at the sole discretion of the Asteroid owner.

Ad Options
An Ad option is now included in the Client Loader Options allowing participants to choose whether or not they wish to enable Entropia Universe advertisements. By enabling the ad system, participants will be granted access to larger loots.

Gold & ATM Cards
The Entropia Universe Gold Card and Entropia Universe ATM Withdrawal Card are now available and may be ordered from your local Trade Terminal. For more information, please see the news section of the Entropia Universe website.

Adjusted increase of 'Attacks per minute' for new weapons, mindforce and mining tools.
Once the minimum skill requirement for the above mentioned equipment has been met, the 'Attacks per minute' value will increase until the maximum 'Attacks per minute' value is reached. The rate of increase is related to the user's skill in operating the equipment. Furthermore, the start value for 'Hit ability' has been raised from 0.0 to 3.0, for users that have reached the minimum skill level requirement. The subsequent increase curve has been adjusted to accommodate this change. You can also now see your 'Damage' and 'Aim' skill progress status for a weapon in the Item Info interface.

Events
A new 'Highest Single Loot' rule has been added to the event system. The event participant that scores the Highest Single Loot during an event will be the winner.

Private Chat
The contrast between the text and background colors of the Private Chat interface has been increased to enable easier reading.

Cannon Towers
Cannon towers have been placed close to all land area revival terminals to allow colonists a chance to recover in safety. The teleporter in Treasure Island North has also received cannon tower defense.

The Auction
Residue can now be bought and sold in the Auction from the Materials category.

More Items, Sound and Vision
Several new items have been added to the Entropia Universe, which may turn out to be quite valuable in Calypso's future. New music and film composed here at MindArk have also been included.

Enhancements
Teleporting is now a more streamlined experience again. All blueprints are now included within the blueprint category in the Auction. Tamed animals no longer go wild in the presence of decoys and the event system has been enhanced to more closely adhere to the set rules.

Sounds quite good to me. Of course, I wanted some other changes in addition to these, but you gotta start somewhere.
