We got some news about an update for this Online game also, this is the official mail:


Three new exciting events in Project Entropia; the unique land grab, the new Version Update on the Project Entropia universe servers, and the Gold Member Smartcard security system. They are all presented below.

LAND GRAB EVENT

To celebrate the breakthrough of one hundred thousand participants in Project Entropia we would like to share the following information concerning an important development soon to come.

A new continent has been discovered on the planet Calypso! The continent is vast, about three times larger than the presently available continent.
In the same manner as back in the wild west era in the United States, Project Entropia participants will be given the opportunity to participate in this epic land grab event!

Virtually all the land on the continent will be up for grabs. Land areas vary in size up to the maximum, which is about 250 acres. The land is pristine and untamed, and you can not count on staying safe in any area of the new continent.
Get yourself prepared, because if the various new monsters and robots don't get you, your fellow participants probably will!

The stakes are high. As the owner of a piece of land a society will be able to collect a fee from any hunter, miner or other resource gatherer active on their land. The fees may be set individually, in the range 0 to 10%, according to the will of the owning society. All revenue generated from the society-owned land will automatically be distributed between the society members.

The land owning societies will also in a later stage be given the opportunity to sell house-building lots to any Project Entropia participant. The lots available for sale will vary in number and size depending in the size of the land owned by the society.

The full rules of the land grab is available in the Project Entropia client.

Mentor & Disciple system
We are aware of the great effort our participants put into helping newcomers to Calypso and making them feel welcome. To show our appreciation for this we have decided implemented a Mentor & Disciple system.

Being a mentor is about helping newcomers get a foothold in the new universe.
When you offer your help to a newcomer, and they accept, they become your disciple and you become their mentor. As a mentor you advice your disciples and
support them in their advancement. When a disciple reaches certain skill levels, the disciple is deemed to be sufficiently trained to manage on her or his own.
At this point the mentor receives special surprise gifts as a reward for helping out.

First person view of items and actions
You now see the items your avatar is carrying in first person view. Weapons and tools are shown, as well as mindforce powers. The Z key toggles between FPV w/
items, FPV w/o items, 3rd PV behind, 3rd PV free.

Visual item update
Almost all weapons in Project Entropia have received a visual overhaul, and are now displayed with a much higher detail. This is a first in a series of grand visual upgrades being done to Project Entropia over the coming months.

Monster visuals update
Almost every creature in Project Entropia has been given a visual overhaul, meaning more detailed graphics with higher clarity.

New drop functions
When dropping an item from the inventory to the ground you may now determine the placement of the item in detail. This is especially useful for indoor decorations and furniture. You can rotate items by holding down the right mouse button and move the mouse right and left, and drop some specific items on walls or in the ceiling.
