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.
