Welcome to the March EBN Newsletter for Project Entropia


This feature will focus on the newly released Version Update 7.2. Some
of the highlights are:

Excerpts from the VU 7.2 List


NEW CITIES BUILT
Two cities have been built on Amethera by the Omegaton Industries and
Genesis Star Interstellar conglomerates, with the blessing of the
Federal Empire. Amethera is deemed to be secure enough to grant such
construction, and both the Genesis Star and Omegaton representatives are
pleased with the decision. The third conglomerate, Chikara OmniWorld, is
expected to start construction as well in the near future. The focus and
demand from the Empire is to supply housing for the colonists in the form
of reasonably priced apartments.

APARTMENTS INTRODUCED
Thousands of apartments is introduced! We want to make a place to call
home available to a much larger portion of the Calypso colonists than
previously possible. The apartments will be available through the
auction and have the buyout price set to 250 PED for the small apartment, 350
PED for the medium and 450 PED for the large apartment. Apartments come
with a maintenance fee of 10 PED per 30 days. After this time period
you need to pay the fee, else you will not be granted access to the
apartment, until you do.

There is no limit as to the number of apartments a single avatar may
own.

The Beta apartments promised will be issued some time after the actual
VU goes live. Thanks for your patience.

TRAPPING ISSUES
The creatures of Calypso have evolved to notice when they are being
“trapped”. This means that when a creature is unavailable to reach a
target for different reasons, it will behave differently, and in some cases,
will become immune to damage, until the creature believes it is no
longer trapped.


The update also contains plenty of added clothes, paints, weapons
(including shotguns!), housing decorations, and furniture.

For a full content list, please see the Project Entropia client News
section. Discussions about the update are present at
www.entropia-pioneers.com, www.entropiaforum.com and www.playmoo.com.

Words from Project Entropia Director of Community Relations

“Hello crew!

Project Entropia is moving forward at an incredible pace! The new
apartments are really cool. The universe is growing and we intend to add a
lot of cool and exciting new content in the following months. Many of
the additions are based on community feedback, and we are confident the
new stuff will cater for an even more dynamic economy. With more staff
at MindArk, we can speed up development further, which allows for
development we previously could not do. One area we strive to be the leader
in is visual looks, and we intend to shape up the graphics in Project
Entropia as well during the upcoming months.”

Regards
-Marco

Rumors of unique items around

Yes, there are some talks about the legendary unique items, rumored to
be in Project Entropia. A unique item is a one of a kind item that only
exists in one copy. They are highly valuable and a must-have for any
serious collector. The unique items can now be found in Project Entropia,
if you hunt the right creature and utilize your mind in the process.

-----
Apartments sold at a tremendous pace

The Calypso population is really eager to have a place to call home.
Just a few hours after VU 7.2 went live, roughly a third of the
apartments were purchased. If you want make sure you get your dream apartment,
buy it before it is too late.

I received the above mail to my inbox as all of you did (atleast those who read their inbox :D ).

Interesting part is the...

The unique items can now be found in Project Entropia,
if you hunt the right creature and utilize your mind in the process.

Does this mean that the rumour about that "weapons carry part of the loot" is true ? That it depends on which weapon is being used to get certain things.
Prolly also time of day/week/month counts in, and ofcourse, which mob.

/edit
Above quote hinting "MindForce" as weapon used.

It certainly would lead me in the direction. However, sometimes taking MA literally is not the wisest approach.

MA is making some very wise decisions lately.. the game is evolving fast.
Great newsletter! I can't wait for the next one! :D

I don't know about MA becoming the leader in graphics though... that's a bit of a large goal. have they even seen any games made after the year 2000? :laugh:
