Planet Calypso is the largest real economy Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the world. Players have the ability to participate in a unique virtual world where they only pay for the game when they play. 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.

With this new Vehicle system, the whole community now has the opportunity to build vehicles. Players can take their friends on a road trip cruising through the varied landscapes or even take a joyride along the coast. Using the new SUV and buggy with their optional turrets will allow players to quickly and safely reach remote locations. Alternatively more enterprising colonists can drive through PvP zones, sneak up on opponents in a pimped out military truck and crush all resistance.

All vehicles have to be assembled at a "Vehicle Commissioning Terminal" before they can be spawned. Additionally the commissioning feature is planned to be developed further, including custom designing vehicles by attaching various parts. Vehicles can also be colored and textured using the current customization system.

The features included in this release are just the beginning of the Vehicle System Content. Other upcoming features for the system will include various boats, aircraft and other land vehicles like motorcycles and tanks.

Other features of the latest release include:

Movement Changes

• Removed indoor speed limit restrictions.

• Skill Bonus on Attachments . The skill modification effect now has a clarifying tool tip. The attachment gives a bonus to the user's hit ability and it has full effect when the target is on maximum weapon range. When the target comes closer the effect decreases and it reaches its minimum effect when the target is in the immediate vicinity. Since the effect is variable the hit ability parameter display is not affected by the skill modification.
• New Parameter on Attachments . A new parameter has been introduced on laser sights and scopes. This new parameter gives the user a skill increase bonus when the attachment is attached to the tool. The skill increase bonus of the attachment will affect the skill that the tool affect. The number does not indicate an actual increase rate percentage but a higher number is better than a lower.
