'Project Entropia' Now Called 'Planet Calypso' As It Switches to CryEngine 2

Entropia Universe is the largest Real Cash Economy Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the world, offering players the ability to participate in a unique virtual world where they have no monthly costs.

As an exclusive benefit to players who sign on now, Planet Calypso's 'Second Golden Age' has been declared. As the new version is brought fully online, and new and improved features are added, players are being given a chance to find elite items that will never be made public again. Additionally, as a thank you for helping to make sure the planet is ready, veteran and former colonists are all being given a very special gift. A brand new pair of Gullaldr sunglasses, now more important than ever since the introduction of day and night cycles, will be waiting. Colonists will have the ability to directly impact the new world as they can interface directly with the development team should they have any problems. This will help Planet Calypso smoothly implement its new and improved features.

"As always a player's real life business skills can still translate to real money in their bank account," said Marco Behrmann, CEO of First Planet Company. "With Planet Calypso we are focusing our efforts on game play, storyline, events and an overall engrossing experience for the user. Explorers can still seek their real life fortune on Planet Calypso, but they can also just play a fantastic and entertaining MMORPG"

Planet Calypso will continue the tradition of using real currency in the game and allowing players an opportunity to use their business skills to make real money. Six years after the initial launch as Project Entropia, the game is now called "Planet Calypso" and uses state-of-the-art technology. Its real cash economy, using a fixed exchange rate of 10:1 between its PED currency and the USD, is still the mainstay of this MMORPG. Players will have the ability to play for free and participate in a unique virtual economy with real prospects.

Planet Calypso is a free download available today on the newly launched Planet Calypso website.
