<title>Merry Mayhem 2011</title>
<link>http://project-entropia.ru/2011/12/07/merry-mayhem-2011.html</link>
<description>It’s   time once again for Planet Calypso’s annual winter hunting  extravaganza  - Merry Mayhem! This year’s event features an expanded  prize pool with  new prizes - including valuable Calypso Land Deeds -  new creatures, and  updated rules. Running over five days between  Christmas and New Year’s,  Merry Mayhem is among the most exciting and  popular events in all of  Entropia Universe. So grab your best gear and  join in the Mayhem!  Event Dates         Dec.  21:    Skill chipping is no longer allowed for Mayhem participants. The  Mayhem Mission becomes available from the NPC Carl Tucker in Port  Atlantis.       Dec. 26:    Competition opens at 00:00 UTC. Kills are registered. Final category qualification happens upon first kill.       Dec. 30:    Competition ends 23:59 UTC. Kills are no longer registered. You may no longer get the Mayhem mission.       Jan. 1:       Skill chipping is allowed again.       Jan.  13:     Merry Mayhem Mission can be turned in to Carl Tucker. Once the  mission is turned in, participant receives a Mayhem Participation  Diploma. Winners and prize announcement, including the top 100 list for  all categories, with points and time.     Competition Structure  Registration - The mission system will be used to track the Merry Mayhem event. The Mayhem mission is available from the NPC Carl Tucker,  located in Port Atlantis. This mission will track kill points and each  participant’s category. The mission will be available starting on Dec.  21, but event kills will not register before Dec. 26.       Don’t forget to get the mission! Participants can register for the Mayhem mission up until the 29th Dec 18:00 UTC.      Do not abandon the mission!  If a participant abandons the Mayhem mission, all event points  accumulated up to that time will be forfeited. Participants can then  receive the mission a new, and restart the event with zero event points.      Categories -  Merry Mayhem offers four categories to accommodate participants of  varying profession levels. Category qualification will be based upon a  participant's highest Professional Standing from the following  qualification list:         BLP Sniper (Hit)       BLP Pistoleer (Hit)       Laser Sniper (Hit)       Laser Pistoleer (Hit)       Swordsman (Hit)       Knife Fighter (Hit)       Brawler (Hit)     Each  participant's highest professional standing from the qualification list  will determine which of the following event categories the participant  will compete within:         Category 1: Highest Professional Standing 0-24       Category 2: Highest Professional standing 25-49       Category 3: Highest Professional standing 50-69       Category 4: Highest Professional Standing 70 or higher     Participants  will initially be sorted into one of these four categories upon  registration for the Mayhem mission. The final category qualification  will happen when the participant first kills an event mob once the event  starts on Dec. 26.       If  a participant’s highest professional standing increases after accepting  the Mayhem mission (but before the event start time) and would place  the participant into a higher category, the participant will compete in  the higher category for the Mayhem event.      Participants  will remain in the category for which they qualified at the start of  the event on Dec. 26, even if skill gains result in promotion to a  higher professional standing.

Once the  mission is turned in, participant receives a Mayhem Participation  Diploma. Winners and prize announcement, including the top 100 list for  all categories, with points and time.     Competition Structure  Registration - The mission system will be used to track the Merry Mayhem event. The Mayhem mission is available from the NPC Carl Tucker,  located in Port Atlantis. This mission will track kill points and each  participant’s category. The mission will be available starting on Dec.  21, but event kills will not register before Dec. 26.       Don’t forget to get the mission! Participants can register for the Mayhem mission up until the 29th Dec 18:00 UTC.      Do not abandon the mission!

Categories -  Merry Mayhem offers four categories to accommodate participants of  varying profession levels.

The final category qualification  will happen when the participant first kills an event mob once the event  starts on Dec. 26.       If  a participant’s highest professional standing increases after accepting  the Mayhem mission (but before the event start time) and would place  the participant into a higher category, the participant will compete in  the higher category for the Mayhem event.      Participants  will remain in the category for which they qualified at the start of  the event on Dec. 26, even if skill gains result in promotion to a  higher professional standing.

<title>Become a citizen of Planet Calypso!</title>
<link>http://project-entropia.ru/2011/11/08/become-a-citizen-of-planet-calypso.html</link>
<description>Gothenburg, Sweden, November 8th, 2011 – MindArk, developer of Entropia Universe, announced today that it will introduce a groundbreaking new Citizenship System. This system will provide planet-wide revenue sharing to participants, as well as a forthcoming political system that will allow users to influence the future development of the planet.  “The Citizenship System will have a strong impact on the social and virtual worlds industry”, said Jan Welter Timkrans, Chairman of MindArk, “Now people can make money using their game-playing skills and by engaging in the micro transactions economy. They can both share in the revenues of their favourite world and help decide its future via the political system! “  The new system will allow participants of Entropia Universe to acquire a Land Lot deed. This deed grants holders citizenship on Planet Calypso, along with political voting rights. Citizens of Planet Calypso will receive a share in the planet partner Gross Revenue.  Based on Planet Calypso’s performance over the last twelve months, the potential ROI (Return of Investment) of such shares is expected to be between 27% - 30% per year.  Jan Welter Timkrans: “So far, land management in Entropia Universe has been a very exclusive thing, as the market price for land area deeds have ranged from $5,000 on the low end, to upwards of $500,000. Now, participants of all levels and budgets can manage a piece of an entire virtual world for $100 USD – less than the price of two regular PC games. The Citizenship System brings a new era in MMO and Virtual World participation, something people have been crying out for. It will bring value to people who are passionate about games and global online culture.”  The new Citizenship System will showcase the economics of a successful Planet Partner on the Entropia Universe platform. Planet Calypso is a profitable Virtual world. It is the oldest of the planets in Entropia Universe, has over 1 million registered users and over $ 400,000,000 USD per year in user-to-user transactions.  In total, sixty thousand (60,000) Land Lot deeds will be created, each representing a 100 square meter plot on Planet Calypso. Starting on November 8, 2011, batches of these deeds will be offered on the Entropia Universe auction. Each Land Lot deed will have a start-bid price and a buyout price of 1000 PEDs ($100 USD). The Land Lot deeds will be implemented as stackable items, and will be made available in single units, as well as in stacks of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100. Batches will continue to be offered on the auction until the entire sixty thousands deeds have been sold.  Each Land Lot deed entitles the holder to a share of the 50% planet partner Gross Revenue generated by Planet Calypso. Payouts of revenue share dividends to deed holders will be made once per week, as opposed to once per year or once per month for many other investments!&quot;  The success and profitability of the planet will determine the revenue received as a land lot deed holder. If Calypso becomes more popular, the ROI will be higher; similarly, if the popularity of Calypso decreases, the ROI would also decrease. First revenue payouts are planned for the beginning of December 2011.  Once every six months, audited figures will be presented on MindArk’s homepage so that deed holders can verify their revenue share payouts.  Current land area deed holders on Calypso will be entitled to one free land lot deed. This does not include deeds for claim battle areas, houses, apartments, shops or sub-divided areas, only Outback Land Areas (OLAs). Treasure Island, FOMA, Crystal Palace and Medusa’s Head will receive one deed, issued to the main estate manager. Management of existing Outback Land Areas will remain unaffected.  Land Lot Deed holders will have the opportunity to take part in a Calypso Citizenship land grab. Certain areas will be opened on Calypso where deed holders can stake out their land plots.  This system development is scheduled to begin in 2012.  Land Lot Deed holders will be able to build house(s) on the plot(s) they have staked out. (Minimum of 9 plots in a 3x3 format suitable for a structure). This system development is scheduled to begin in 2013.  Additionally, a comprehensive political system is planned that will allow Land Lot Deed holders to become directly involved with decisions affecting the future development of Calypso, with voting power relative to the number of Land Lot Deeds held. This system development is also scheduled to begin in 2012.  This information has been released prior to the official press release planned for 16th November as a courtesy to Entropia Universe participants. Further information and specifications may be applied.</description>

Payouts of revenue share dividends to deed holders will be made once per week, as opposed to once per year or once per month for many other investments!&quot;  The success and profitability of the planet will determine the revenue received as a land lot deed holder. If Calypso becomes more popular, the ROI will be higher; similarly, if the popularity of Calypso decreases, the ROI would also decrease. First revenue payouts are planned for the beginning of December 2011.  Once every six months, audited figures will be presented on MindArk’s homepage so that deed holders can verify their revenue share payouts.  Current land area deed holders on Calypso will be entitled to one free land lot deed. This does not include deeds for claim battle areas, houses, apartments, shops or sub-divided areas, only Outback Land Areas (OLAs). Treasure Island, FOMA, Crystal Palace and Medusa’s Head will receive one deed, issued to the main estate manager. Management of existing Outback Land Areas will remain unaffected.  Land Lot Deed holders will have the opportunity to take part in a Calypso Citizenship land grab. Certain areas will be opened on Calypso where deed holders can stake out their land plots.  This system development is scheduled to begin in 2012.  Land Lot Deed holders will be able to build house(s) on the plot(s) they have staked out. (Minimum of 9 plots in a 3x3 format suitable for a structure). This system development is scheduled to begin in 2013.  Additionally, a comprehensive political system is planned that will allow Land Lot Deed holders to become directly involved with decisions affecting the future development of Calypso, with voting power relative to the number of Land Lot Deeds held. This system development is also scheduled to begin in 2012.  This information has been released prior to the official press release planned for 16th November as a courtesy to Entropia Universe participants. Further information and specifications may be applied.</yandex:full-text>

This new movie-length MMOG event is inspired by Universal Pictures’ current thriller The Thing, now in theatres nationwide.  The game was developed through a licensing agreement with Universal Partnerships &amp;amp; Licensing. Starting on October 31 players will be challenged with locating and assisting the infamous avatar NEVERDIE, who has joined the fight to rid the world of The Thing.  NEVERDIE went missing when his helicopter transporting a supply of flamethrowers and armor crashed into the ROCKtropia Antarctic.  The exact location of the downed chopper is unknown, but fragmented distress signals are being received via Facebook.com/thethingmovie and Twitter @MYrocktropia and provide clues to his location and the whereabouts of his scattered precious cargo. The flamethrowers and armor are vital to the containment of The Thing in the Antarctic.  As such, Universal is offering one-of-a-kind props used during the making of the thriller The Thing as rewards to the first brave adventurers to find NEVERDIE and help get his shipment of gear back to the base camp.  The movie props include a parka worn by one of the cast members and a pair of bloodied slacks used in the shoot.

New players can sign up at www.HuntTheThing.com to create their free avatar and begin their adventure.
