Building The Future: The next stage of Plot Ownership

Building The Future: The next stage of Plot Ownership

We have now reached the next exciting stage of the Estate System. Plot holders on Planet Calypso will have the possibility to become Virtual Land Developers and build their own centres of production and supply.

Building Your Property

The UI will let you choose, preview and place your constructions on a grid. At this point you’ll be able to review all building costs. Once you’re totally happy you can proceed with the transaction, at which point you’ll be shown the construction time.

Constructions are upgradeable, allowing you to modernize and improve your builds. For example, outlying walls may boast elegant arches, gates and pillars!

In this release only one type of house is available, but this is merely the beginning. We are continuously working on more developments!

Build Components

Each building comes with a certain number of construction points that you can allocate to construct different kinds of components. There are ‘building’, ‘gardening’, ‘utility’ and ‘industry’ points. The number of construction points varies depending on the size and cost of the building.

The UI will let you place constructions within the grid. During placement, you can rotate it like when placing any item. When satisfied, the building will begin its first step towards completion. Once you’re finished you’ll be able to admire and enjoy your new property!

Vegetable Gardens: Grow Your Business!

A later release will feature the possibility of making a Vegetable Garden after building your house. This will enable you to become a producer of valuable organic goods and a key player in the supply chain. You’ll literally be able to ‘grow’ an expanding business!

Building and Rebuilding

What if you don’t like the way you’ve built your house, or you want to build another kind of building instead? You can start again by demolishing the building and regaining roughly 50% of your initial investment, which can then be used on your next build!

Village Development

As a Property Owner you are also a citizen of a village and the development of ‘village life’ will be the focus of future releases. Being a responsible village citizen will have a positive effect on the village community as a whole. This ‘communal’ dimension will be a new aspect of gameplay within Planet Calypso.

Entropia Universe Referral Program Finally Here

Entropia Universe Referral Program Finally Here

Or is it. MindArk still haven’t confirmed this officially, but it seems that MindArk and Akoz are partnering for creating new marketing website for Entropia Universe where you can invite other people to play Entropia and in return get paid for it.

You can read the details bellow and if you want to help me in the game you can use my link https://entropiafriends.com/50 to register for the game. I will get 1% of your globals. Your loot won’t be decreased. This 1% will be paid from EntropiaFriends. And if you want to recruit other players please use this link https://entropiafriends.com/inv/50 . This way I will get 10% of your recruits' income and you will lose nothing. I will think for different bonuses for my recruits so you also benefit from using my link. For a start I am thinking of free tickets for event with big prizes.

The payment model is interesting. You will get 1% of every global the recruited players gets for all time. A global is when you get big loot mining, hunting or crafting. It was fixed to be for loot over 50 PED (5 USD), now for some creatures it can be as low as 10 PED (1 USD). So if your recruit receive loot of 100 PED you will get 1 PED or 0,10 USD. For small player you will get probably 1 USD per year, but there are loots of 20 000 USD, if your recruit hit one of those you will get 200 USD for just one creature he killed or deposit he mined or weapon he crafted. And you will get 1% of every global until that player is playing the game. You can get your money in the game in form of PEDS or via PayPal. What I don’t like is that external website for tracking globals called EntropiaLife will be used. This means that it is possible your recruit to hit global on less populated planet or in space, and if it doesn’t register with this external website, you will get nothing. You will see the full names of the players you recruit. They appear in the "Recruited players" list, so that you may befriend them, mentor them and follow them up as tightly as you wish. This is a key concept of EntropiaFriends.

Akoz confirmed that the reward of 1% will come from EntropiaFriends and will not result in decreased loot return or decreased CLD payouts.

Here is the info on the website:

EntropiaFriends is a platform for rewarding Entropia players that are helping to spread the word about Entropia Universe.

EntropiaFriends aims to increase the growth and population of Entropia Universe by offering generous rewards that scale with activity of the recruited players.

EntropiaFriends is an independant marketing partner of MindArk - the developer and operator of Entropia Universe.

Decription of the service

EntropiaFriends is an online service designed to facilitate rewarding recruitment of new players to the game Entropia Universe.

EntropiaFriends is an independant marketing partner of MindArk.

MindArk are in no way accountable for services offered by EntropiaFriends.

Referral fee

The referral fee is calculated based on the best available data to EntropiaFriends as a percentage of the total globaled value of the recruited players.

An EU account may generate referral fees to the user during the period commencing upon the time of registration of the new EU account tagged with the user's recruitment code and until the EU account is deemed inactive by MindArk.

Referral fee payment

The user may at any time request payment either through paypal or to an Entropia avatar as long as the user posesses a minimum amount of currency in his account.

The user is responsible for payment of any applicable sales-, use- or other taxes and all applicable fees, custom duties and similar charges.

EBN: Eomon Pheromones Levels Rising

EBN: Eomon Pheromones Levels Rising!

Sensors placed around Calypso by CDF scouts detect rising Eomon Pheromone levels, indicating the Eomon Migration is only 10-12 days away!

The annual Eomon Migration period spans the summer and offers a rare opportunity to hunt prized herds of Longtooth and Eomon creatures. Watch for ‘red’ level readings on the Live Pheromone Tracker: http://www.planetcalypso.com/. Once this level is reached, sightings of herds of Longtooth and Eomon migrating over Eudoria will shortly follow!

ComPet: Development Update

ComPet: Development Update

The ComPet Closed Beta period began on May 17, 2016 and has provided the ComPet development team with a wealth of valuable testing data and user feedback. This has resulted in significant improvements to the overall stability, balance and enjoyability of the ComPet experience. We are grateful to all the Closed Beta participants who have assisted our team in this effort.

ComPet is scheduled to transition to Extended Open Beta phase within a matter of weeks, with an eye toward further design and balance refinements, scalability testing and polishing in preparation for full release. This phase will:

-Be open to the general public.

-Enable players to retrieve their progress (i.e., the system will no longer be wiped).

-Allow transactions in the ComPet Shop.

Finally, a quick note about ComPet development. The product development and marketing budgets for ComPet were fully financed via ComPet deeds. Nearly all of the coding of the ComPet infrastructure and client was outsourced, meaning that MindArk’s developers have continued to focus on improving Entropia Universe. In fact, the Entropia Universe and Calypso teams have grown since the ComPet project began.

#10 The ComPet Shop: Pets

ComPet: Behind The Game

#10 The ComPet Shop: Pets

A selection of pets can be acquired from the ComPet Shop in exchange for Gold. It’s also possible to acquire multiple pets of the same animal.

But how do you choose a pet?

Pets belong to different classes: Aggressive, Defensive, Attuned and Balanced.

Most importantly, the class determines how a pet levels up.

When a pet levels up you distribute experience points to increase your pet’s attribute levels of Health, Mojo, Ferocity and Endurance (see #5 Battle Post for more on attributes).

Depending on what class your pet belongs to, each experience point increases your pet’s attribute levels by varying amounts. For instance, 1 experience point will increase a Defensive pet’s Health by 3 and an Aggressive pet’s Health by 2. This effectively means that different classes of pet have different ‘strengths’ and ‘weaknesses’.

Below is starting attribute level and the ‘increase per experience point’ for each pet in the ComPet Shop (‘increase per experience point’ is shown in brackets).

Aggressive:

Health: 20 (2)
Mojo: 30 (1.5)
Ferocity: 15 (3.5)
Endurance: 15 (1)

Pets in ComPet Shop :
Chirin

Defensive

Health: 20 (3)
Mojo: 30 (2)

Cyrene June 2016 VU Update

Hey everyone,

I wanted to let our community know that today, June 14th 2016, Planet Cyrene will not have an update for this VU cycle.

Cyrene will continue to work towards Hard Launch and we are currently working with MindArk about how we can achieve what is needed for Hard Launch.

Current team now working towards hard launch.

Many issues are being focused on, including the economy and PVP/Mech system so that we have a smooth transition for all new players that our marketing efforts will be focusing on to help promote the Cyrene economy further.

We will be also focusing on the following for the next release: shops, booths, bug fixes, land area, and addressing the vendor items issue.

I do not have any more details to share at this time, but I will update this post when I can share more.

Regards,

Kris
