VERSION UPDATE FEATURES

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.

Treasure Island lots
Ten new lots added to Treasure Island to the Lake View community.

Colors added
Paint cans added to allow for even more diversity when coloring items.

Added clothes
New pieces of clothing added, some of which are tailorable, including formal wear and shorts.

Added weapons
A great deal of weapons added, including clubs, maces, daggers, and shotguns. Some items are craftable. There are rumors about a unique item being spotted as well.

Housing decorations added
Dozens of items designed for making a home nice and comfortable have been added, including paintings, statues, and baskets.

General items added
A number of other items added to expand the range of items in Project Entropia.

Updated armor looks
Some armor sets have new and enhanced looks.

Visual enhancements
Several areas in Project Entropia, ranging from clothes, avatars, items and nature have been reviewed and updated from a visual standpoint, in order to remove oddities, like holes in clothes etc.

Amplifier feedback
Updated so an amplifier that is at condition 10% gives info to the owner about this.

Mentor loot
Added more items to the Mentor loot.

Auction accepts more
The auction now accepts more variety of items for sale.

Auctioneer back
After taking an unauthorized vacation, the auctioneers are back on Amethera.

Sweating
A slight adjustment upwards as to the number of sweat bottles acquired per successful sweat gathering has been made

Quickbar enhancements
Several minor additions and tweaks have been made to the Quickbar and Statusbar functions.

Client stability
Several potential crash issues are removed from the Project Entropia client software.

Sound system crash fixed
A bug in the sound system in Project Entropia that could cause a client crash has been removed. Participants who have disabled sound due to this problem should try to enable it again.

Oh my dear god this VU is awesome!

If you sit or lie down in an apartment, you may fall through the floor into the apartment below.

[MindBuster]

Off-topic note...
Skam posted the listing a few miliseconds before i did, but it was easier to delete skam's than renaming it, Skam gets the honor for posting it first

Looks good.

Reminds me what one of my friend said: "are you expecting some guy just fall in your arms?".

It seems to be possible in apartments

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.

very very good thing (if it's not bugged)

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

So you remain as a owner of apartment even if you dont pay the fee. Nice

But does this mean you have to pay only one fee at time or do unpaid fees cumulate?

I mean can you actually take couple months break from PE, have your apartment locked up and when you return you can just pay 1 months fee and get it open again?

Sweating
A slight adjustment upwards as to the number of sweat bottles acquired per successful sweat gathering has been made

Ah, bugger!

What am I supposed to do with this 3k sweat I have? This will no doubt bring the price of sweat further down (below the average 1.1-1.3)

So, what does this mean for all those poor PA sweaters? I think the next time they lure 2,547 mobs to those docks they're going to have trouble on their hands

A great deal of weapons added, including clubs, maces, daggers, and shotguns. Some items are craftable. There are rumors about a unique item being spotted as well.

I'm SO getting a mace...dmg will probably be less than a dagger though, but the decay might be low...a nice novelty item nonetheless.


The new cities in Amethera...are these the first? I might have to check the continent out...(haven't been there in the months that I've been playing )

All in all, sounds MUCH better than the last update!

[Rusty]

.....and shorts.

I'm not showing my knees off for anyone
