Entropia Universe/Planet Calypso

A couple of excerpts from the history of Project Entropia:

"After their two year journey, the new colonists arrived to Calypso to find the cities and infrastructure that the base matrix’s robots had built for them ready for settling. The Exodus was converted into a space station in orbit around Calypso to be used as a base camp for colonization. The robots had tweaked the ecosystem of Calypso to fit humans, and the settlers had to do very little further adjustments to their new home. Gradually, the world was settled, and as the space gate was near completion, the rate of settlement was expected to rise.

That was not to be."



"However, things were not to be left to their own. Instead of a direct confrontational approach, another strategy was adapted. On defeating the robots, the technology would be recovered and reverse-engineered, and later adapted and improved, to finally bring about the tools that would once and for all defeat the robots. This was the most probable scenario for Calypso in several different simulations. The downside was, of course, that for Project Entropia to succeed, the robots had to keep invading.

On the world that once was a new Eden of mankind, the struggle goes on. It is the hope of every colonist on Calypso that Project Entropia succeeds and that their sacrifices have not been in vain."


EBN News:
"The crisis is over! The robots have left Calypso, and only scattered forces remain. We have been tested by a ruthless enemy and emerged victorious! Through our combined efforts, Calypso has prevailed!
On a personal level, I would like to thank you all for your courage and sacrifice. Words cannot express how proud I am of my fellow Calypsians that have defended our homes from the invaders. Of all my heart, thank you.
As of this moment, the state of emergency is lifted. Authority is restored to civilian agencies, effective immediately.
/Major Jenny Carramone, Calypso Defense Forces high commander"




"Set in the future, you are invited to join an open-ended social, economic and political action-adventure as a human colonist on a distant alien planet. The sandbox approach allows you to choose your own path and write a unique story with others from around the world.
You will enter a new chapter in Calypso’s story. After an exhausting five year conflict with an invading robot enemy, the long awaited promise of peace and prosperity on Calypso remains elusive. With the robots repelled to their home world Akbal-Cimi, cracks in colonist solidarity are emerging. The war-time economy has produced industrialists with the resources to buy up Calypso’s precious land, while disgruntled ex-soldiers are left to wander Calypso, hunting and mining for their survival. A rising middle-class of entrepreneurs is irritating both. All are disillusioned with Earth’s Federal Empire that left the colony to fend for itself during the robot war. You will land on a Calypso with revolution and civil war in the air.

Have you got what it takes to stake a claim on Calypso?"



Me having a bit of goofy fun on Calypso:

(Yes, my appearance changes occasionally; plastic surgery is harmless on Calypso.)

"Find a group of like-minded individuals to share your adventures on Calypso with."

A goofy old clip of the society:



A video created by fellow society members as they were having fun blowing themselves up at Twin Peaks:

A couple of society hunts, filmed by our very own Natty Lars. Commentary recorded directly from teamspeak during the action:
