Thinking about cancelling my pre-order...
With the [url=http://www.twitch.tv/2old2play/b/551599375]Twitch [/url]video of Deej saying there will only be one destination per planet, I'm really having my doubts about the game. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and all, but if it's so small, I worry that the fun won't last very long. I'm currently hoping that Deej misspoke or that he forgot to mention something, but if I don't get clarification soon, I think I'll probably cancel my pre-order and wait post-release to see how the game's size holds up.
As for people saying, "Oh, but they'll release tons of DLC in the future," well, I guess that's a culture I just really don't want to support. Bungie promised a huge, expansive world for players to explore and that should be reflected in the base game. That experience shouldn't be something that we have to pay extra money for when it was promised right from the start. I mean, I'm in college! It was already a big deal for me to drop $60 for the base game alone! Honestly, the only way the DLC argument would work for me is if most of the DLC was free to download and with Activision as a the publisher, I have little faith in that possibility.
Also, I know there's areas currently blocked off in Old Russia because of the ??? level enemies, but if these areas are as visually homogeneous as the rest of the map and only contain higher-leveled versions of enemies we've already seen, then I don't really think they can add much in terms of interest.
As for people who enjoy grinding for better gear and think this will add to their play time, that's fine and I hope they're right about it, but I guess I'm just not the type of gamer who finds that appealing.
So unless the information changes in the very near future, I guess you guys have one less player to worry about contributing to lag come launch day :)

1 ReplyFound a link that may help shed some light on this bro. http://www.ign.com/wikis/destiny/Locations "As a Guardian, it is your duty to protect all of Humanity's colonies, or at least to reclaim them as our own. The Solar System has been taken from us by ruthless enemies who won't give it up easily. Earth The wilderness beyond the walls of the City are ruined and corrupted, claimed by nature and our enemies.[b] From the war-torn fortresses of the Twilight Gap to the skyward steppes of Old Russia,[/b] evidence of our lost glory still litters the Earth, waiting to be rediscovered. The Moon Early exploration attempts have proven too dangerous. The City has since classified Earth's Moon as a Forbidden Zone. The Hive have taken over. Mars What was once our greatest colony is now but a shadow and a ruin. The Cabal and Vex battle on the dunes of Mars, trying to claim it as their own. We are trying to take it back, we are trying to recover Charlemagne. Venus What was once ours is now a Vex stronghold in our Solar System. The jungles of Venus have become a hostile warzone for any daring Guardian to venture into." As you can see, the bolded sentence clearly states that there are at least two locations on earth.
