    Old news. Like... posted all over the place during the last couple days of the beta news. This is likely all we're getting. Especially considering Deej's comments during the 2old2play stream, where he was asked "So there is just one explorable location on each planet?", to which he replied "Yeah, we're calling them Destinations." and then proceeded to talk about how you will go to Earth, to Mars, to Venus, to the Moon. He started talking about how you'll start in Old Russia, then you'll go to the Moon, and he got distracted, and never really finished his thought. A little later, he said "We've revealed all of the locations you'll visit when the game ships." Now, some people consider his words vague. Like the fact that he said "yeah" right before denying several other questions. Perhaps he was just validating the question, before correcting the "destinations" aspect of what they're calling each planet, and simply didn't answer the question at all. I wouldn't bet on it. Not to mention, Bungie's silence on the subject. They could easily clarify all of this and release a statement that says whether or not there is only one explore region like Old Russia on all of the planets. All we've had is a post that may have been by Urk, which was posted on a completely different site than Bungie, where he assured us that Destiny is the largest game they've ever made, and they look forward to adding content after release that includes single-player content, and not just multiplayer maps. Still, he neither confirmed, nor denied the whole "one explore zone per planet" rumor, and they've been completely silent on the subject since. This could be for one of two reasons. They either don't want to confirm the rumor because they think it would hurt sales, or they don't want to deny the rumor because this is all a fabricated controversy and the data that was available for mining was purposefully placed there to get the rumor mills turning, and they're simply trying to preserve the surprise. I believe the former is far more likely. I would love to be surprised on the 9th, and find multiple locations on Earth, at least. It seems a little silly for them to use a marketing line like "Explore the wild frontiers of our solar system. Discover all that we have lost." and only have Old Russia representing the entirety of Earth. However, I [i]wouldn't[/i] be surprised if this datamined info were correct, and this is all we see at launch. Hope for the best... expect the worst.
