Meanwhile the holiday season will bring free gifts for all players to celebrate another great year. The gifts were designed by Planet Calypso's own users. The gifts and winning designers will be revealed when avatars log in and receive the items. So come and join the Planet Calypso team and lift your virtual glass to help us welcome in the New Year. The holiday season will also see the conclusion of the Second Golden Age of Calypso and is the last opportunity for players to loot special Second Golden Age items.

First Planet Company is the developer and publisher of Planet Calypso, the largest real cash economy MMORPG in the world. Players have the ability to participate in a unique virtual economy where they only pay for the game when they play, and they can actually make money.  It is also the first MMORPG to use CryTek's stunning CryENGINE 2 for amazing graphics and physics.  Six years after the initial launch as Project Entropia, the game is now called "Planet Calypso" and its real cash economy is still the mainstay of this MMORPG. 

Planet Calypso is a free download available at the game's official website.
