Local authorities have been contacted and an investigation is pending. The Calypso Defense Forces were unavailable for comment.

PR: Planet Calypso Focuses Story With New Missions

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:53:00 GMT

Over 80 New Missions Now Available

Goteborg, Sweden - April 22, 2010 - First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real money Massively Multiplayer Online Game, announced today 80 new missions were added to the Planet Calypso world in its 2010.2 release. These missions give current players a more story driven experience and allow new players to get used to the planet in a more structured way.

As players make their way through the missions they will find an array of challenges for every level. Many of the missions are hunting challenges arranged by the Calypso Firearms Association to raise awareness of different weapon issues (i.e. safety, control, etc.). These are spread out all over Eudoria and can take a long time to complete earning their victors a hefty skill reward. The biggest of the missions though are centered near the Cyclops volcano near Fort Troy, and in particular the activity of the robots. From a naive scientist that wants to communicate with the robots on peaceful terms to the corporation Genesis Star that wants to exploit the robots, colonists must discover the secrets of Robots. Missions will vary from hunting missions to exploration and infiltration and puzzle solving. While colonists can still play the game any way they wish to, including not following the missions at all, the risks and rewards make for a fun and compelling new experience.

First Planet Company is the developer and publisher of Planet Calypso, the largest real economy Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the world. Players have the ability to participate in a unique virtual world with no monthly subscription costs. Instead, its innovative real money economy uses a virtual currency which has a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar. This allows players to deposit and withdraw real funds for their adventures on Calypso or in the real world. It is also the first MMORPG to use CryTek’s stunning CryENGINE 2 for amazing graphics and physics. Planet Calypso is the oldest planet in the Entropia Universe and is free to download at the games website, www.planetcalypso.com

PR: Planet Calypso Updates to Version 2010|01

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:14:00 GMT

Mission system enters testing phase

Göteborg, Sweden – February 19, 2010 – First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real money Massively Multiplayer Online Game, announced today the newest version, 2010|01 is available for download. This new version is the fusion of ideas from the community and a desire to make the game world the best it can be.

The new Quest/Mission System is a preview of what’s to come as Planet Calyspo collects users experiences, sentiments and suggestions so that the official missions release will be as finished as possible. There is a mission broker in Port Atlantis that will initiate new players with five starter missions. The five sample missions will be built upon so that new pioneers have a more focused experience as they enter Planet Calypso. This will also lead to advanced missions eventually allowing players of all levels to get in on the action and experience the ongoing storyline. When players have completed the sample missions they should provide feedback using the survey found here http://survey.planetcalypso.com/survey/ ... /index.xml to make sure their ideas are used to improve the system. Planet Calypso will be improving the GUI of the mission system so interactive objects will be more clearly marked.

Planet Calypso also heard the cries from pioneers that updates were needed to the graphics and design of the main areas. As a great start the Cyclops area between East Scylla Mountains and Fort Troy, as well as some Land Areas and Outback Lands to various degrees on Amethera have been improved . Not only do they look a lot better than before, they are also optimized better for performance. The Cyclops area is being used as a reference work for future server area updates so that the full performance of the CryEngine2 can be seen and felt all over the planet.

FIXED ISSUES

Newcomer spawn - When first arriving to Calypso the new settlers spawn in the following order:
1.Port Atlantis
2. Cape Corinth
3. Fort Ithaca
If the Port Atlantis server is full or down the newcomers will spawn at Cape Corinth, and so on.
Added trilomite spawns at Amethera
Deer Mall fee balancing.
General Outback Land Area dressing up and bug fixing.
Tweaked spawns at Swamp Camp and on the road to Port Atlantis.
Fixed streaming audio at CND Control Room.
General bug fixing.
Estate Development Implementation from participant orders.
Land Areas, Shops and Shopping Booths fixed

2010-02-18

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

RESETTLEMENT UPDATE

The winter season has finally ended! At last, the sun has broken through and the snow, fun as it was, is finally gone. Colonial Administration also has removed the Christmas trees.

In a short and spectacular explosion, the old volcano at Cyclops erupted Wednesday at 10:20 UTC. The explosion did not cause much damage, except for the collapse of the old caldera and the subsequent collapse of the golf course.

The geographical changes at Cyclops are not the only consequences of the eruption. A lot of fish appeared at the surface, including a new species, probably disturbed by the shockwave from the explosion propagating into the water. A preliminary analysis shows that there will probably be some time before the pods of fish return to the depth. Until then, authorities warn the population from swimming in the sea, as some of the species appearing at the surface are quite dangerous.

The flora and fauna near Cyclops have also changed as a result. The newly emerged Proteron population has decreased because of the explosion. On the other hand, Hiryuu nests are reported in the area. In related news, Trilomites have been seen on Amethera. It is not known whether this is related to the Cyclops eruption. There are also reports that Feffoids, Maffoids and Muluk-Hir have returned; Imperial Zoological speculates that they had hibernated during the cold season.

In order to make it easier for new colonists to settle on Calypso, Colonial Administration has set up a Preliminary Colonist Training Program. There is a Mission Broker in Port Atlantis and another one at the Swamp Camp that will guide colonists, new and old, through initial colonist training.

NEW FEATURES

Quest/Mission System Preview

There is a mission broker in Port Atlantis that will initiate participants to five starter missions. This is a preview of the Quest/Mission System!

We started by implementing five very simple missions, not only for us to learn the system, but also to serve as an introduction for newcomers to the Planet Calypso experience. In addition, it is also a platform for discussion about future development of the mission system. When you have completed the missions, please take the time to provide feedback using the survey found at the link to the left.

At this moment, the GUI to the Quest/Mission System consists of dialogue windows that open when you interact with objects, the quest/mission log window that shows the state of quests/missions (available in the Action Library), and quest update markers at the top left of the screen that pops up as quests progresses.

We aim to improve the GUI of the mission system. For instance, interactive objects will be more clearly marked and waypoints and objectives should be marked on the map and satnav.

Geography Overhaul

We’ve made a significant overhaul to the Cyclops area between East Scylla Mountains and Fort Troy. Not only does this area look a lot better than before, it is also optimized better for performance. The Cyclops area is our reference work for future server area updates; this is the benchmark level of quality we want in the future.

Some Land Areas and Outback Lands on Amethera were also polished to various degrees.

FIXED ISSUES

Newcomer spawn - When first arriving to Calypso the new settlers spawn in the following order:
1. Port Atlantis
2. Cape Corinth
3. Fort Ithaca
If the Port Atlantis server is full or down the newcomers will spawn at Cape Corinth, and so on.

Deer Mall fee balancing.
General Outback Land Area dressing up and bug fixing.
Tweaked spawns at Swamp Camp and on the road to Port Atlantis.

PR: Planet Calypso Hires New Community Manager

Göteborg, Sweden – February 11, 2010 – First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real money Massively Multiplayer Online Game, announced today the hiring of their new community manager to help players have a voice and get answers to their questions . Hanne Gulbrandsen has already started and goes by the avatar name “First Planet Company Community Manager Hanne Gulbrandsen”, she can often be found at Twin Peaks whenever she isn’t in the wild helping out.

Hanne Gulbrandsen has been a known profile on Planet Calypso for several years due to her commitment to the community. Formerly known as the avatar "Silikon Skam Chip", she's recognized for her reports on the front-page of EntropiaForum.com and as moderator of the same forum. Hanne started out playing back in 2003. One of the things that drew her to the game was the individuality of the avatars and the personal attachment it seemed people had to their virtual selves. She quickly found that the community was an interesting place to be and took special interest in the newly started community forum EntropiaForum. As one of the people that helped build the community in this forum she became the natural choice when First Planet Company needed a true community manager.

The 23 year old Norwegian has her background in journalism, where she's been mostly focused towards culture and society. That is a focus that comes naturally to her. Her interest and dedication to reporting on life is something she'll bring with her to the Community Manager position as she communicates with the development team about life on Calypso. Together with her extensive experience and knowledge about Planet Calypso and its community she will also be able to help out those in need of answers. She'll focus first and foremost to improve the communication between the players and the team making the game, and keep a steady stream of information flowing back out to the community.

"The s ale of the Atrox Queen Egg is another example of the incredibly unique world and economy we offer in our game.
