Planet Calypso

Göteborg, Sweden - November 6, 2009 - First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real cash economy MMORPG, announced today that version 10.2 is available for download. Planet Calypso is free to download and can now be played with no initial investment of money from the player.

The biggest news is the return of being able to collect "Vibrant Sweat". Vibrant sweat, life force - it has many names, this substance that is so unique to Calypso is able to be collected by colonists and sold to others. They can then use it for the production of mind essence, an essential ingredient in utilizing the colonists' latent psychic powers. Every colonist will find a brand new, free VSE Mk 1 Extractor Tool in their inventory when they log in. Due to its recent scarcity, the demand for Vibrant Sweat is currently high, so if there's one time to hurry and earn PED's it's now.

Version 10.2 includes the following:

• Teaming is back: Players can go hunting with their friends and share both the fun and the loot with them.

• Vibrant Sweat Collection is back: The VSE Mk 1 is free for everyone and does not decay. This allows players to jump into the game without puting in any money at all.

• Mouse-only navigation: Want to go there? Just double-click there. We have not turned off the old FPS style - aim and shoot is still there, but now there are more options.

• Auto navigation: This includes following another avatar, run to creature and shoot when within range, and run to creature and loot when in range.

• Mouse buttons can be mapped: Actions can now be assigned to mouse buttons 3-8, using the Keyboard Map GUI. The mouse button map is to the right just below the Keyboard Map GUI.

• Live audio streaming is back on Club Neverdie:Bop till you drop!
