Next Island will not be updating planet partner content with the March 3rd VU. Instead, all new Next Island content will be live within the Entropia Universe with the subsequent patch that will shortly follow.
New Additions
- Map overhaul
-- While these changes haven't been drastic, they have been sweeping.
-- Several new islands have popped up and almost each individual land mass has been expanded upon.
-- We, of course, welcome any and all feedback about this map overhaul and encourage you to post it on our forums.
-- There are two new TPs to discover!
- New and Improved Wave Spawner @ Ice Plateau
-- The structure for the wave spawner has been changed in order to better keep the mobs inside of it.
-- The mobs in the wave spawner harkens back to a different time and will culminate into a "full circle".
- New Mining Area
-- In the northern part of the map a new landmass is available with bridges connecting the islands. These islands hold ONLY universal ore and enmatter, and should be the best to mine them on Cyrene.
- New Janus Foundation
-- While it is currently a bit sparse, the foremen and crew are hard at work getting ready to bring New Janus to life.
-- You can poke around and check on their progress, make sure everything is going smoothly.
- New Creature Spawn Area
-- In the Robot Base Z.R.Q. area, the Imperium have been hard at work establishing a new base of operations high in the mountains.
-- Almost every creature spawn was looked at and adjusted for the VU (as part of the map overhaul).
Information
- Planet Cyrene does not yet have access to the Codex yet to add Cyrene mobs, this will happen next year, more updates to come as we have them. That being said we plan to give Cyrene players ample time to know when the Codex will be implemented as well as the information that not all missions will be automatically added into the codex.
Changes
- Updated all NPCs with waypoints to give the correct waypoints (note: in some cases this may require waiting for an objective update).
- Replaced some tree and other vegetation models that need improvements/optimization.
- Implemented several player found bug fixes.
- Cleaned up misplaced models.
- Adjusted loot drops across several creatures.
Known Issues
- The Hub Arenas and Proving Grounds are currently not accepting entry tokens nor are they awarding tokens for kills. We are waiting for MindArk to fix this issue.
- We are currently waiting for information on several drops: Empty ESI, Imperium Officer XT, and a few others.
- The culmination for the chain mission for the Ryvox the Cypher is currently not implemented.
- Support weapons are not currently working properly, this is a platform issue.
- All Cyrene vehicles (P.I.G.V., Spear, Lancer, Dragonfly) have default sounds, this will be addressed in a future patch.
- Some Quality Ratings information in blueprint book: A.R.C. is incorrect, and this issue is still being looked into.
- A supplementary mission for Rank 5 of Brown Beetles to give proper mission rewards is not working correctly and will be fixed in a future VU.
Please give RNGesus some time to ensure all items reach their intended recipients and MindArk time to make sure that all missions are activated.
P.S. I know these patch notes are up early but I'm not able to put them up later so better early than late

Yeah that's confusing to say the least, unless they mean upgradeable visually, to improve the look of it or something similar... .
or maybe its upgradeable like ships!?!? just keep dumping gold into it forever to make it stronger n stronger!
THATS the future! =p
This game is boring as hell, with an economy struggling to support the base. Next Island content we have tried and got shafted on before...what exactly is the point to get re-excited? For those of use who spent countless hours in Greece, this is silly without more detail on why we would want to waste our time there, other than some mysterious armor upgrade to entice us in (there is already a million armor types in the game already stop adding more useless stuff). Not to mention that the secrecy around who actually owns NI now and what kinds of special access they have/had to that planet, and at what cost. This game is boring, and this doesn't help it.
All very good points and this game needs some love in making it an exciting MMO filled with adventure.

yes indeed.
But this game doesnt need an "ancient greece"
How the hell does this fit into the sci fi them????
Running around in hoplite armour with primitive swords
This game should have a theme for everyone, but as many said it need a lot more development to be exciting again. They need to scrap the codex and make it an adventure.
This is actually an interesting idea. Dangerous for existing armors value but still interesting. What would be interesting is if you could add or upgrade any type of protection to the armor. So certain materials or mission to have an NPC increase any protection value even if it isn't on the armor.
Maybe a repeatable 5 protection of any specific type you want. Basically building a custom Uber Armor.
If the game had a Sci fi theme all over doubt that I would play it. Which is why I usually am on other planets. Why I use melee because I feel that I should be using an Epic Sword or melee weapon to destroy my enemy. When I don't use a melee weapons I prefer MF since it's the closest I can get to spells and magic. I rather see awesome dragons, castles and monuments. It is supposed to be and adventure first and foremost regardless of theme. Having planets with their own unique adventure is what will attract players there.
There are a lot of planets that don't embrace Sci Fi and honestly they feel better.
Ancient greece type theme is more fitting for me just wish NI wasn't so far away. I also would love if they introduced shields because I love playing a Tank in MMO's or some type of warrior barbarian.
Guns bore me..... I pew pew from time to time just to get skills and more HP but much rather engage in real combat like a legendary warrior. You know like my picture on the forums.

The reason I still play this game is the time invested into building up my Avatar. I play other MMO's as they have interesting stories and adventure and only hope Entropia can do better in the future.
