The Zekkonians

Planet Cyrene Gameplay

As the game mechanics are preset by the Entropia Universe platform the gameplay is not expected to differ much from what is known from the existing planets Calypso and ROCKtropia.
According to statements by Ed Robles -creative director for Planet Cyrene and head of Digital Scryers- on the Planet Cyrene Facebook group one focus will be missions embedded in elaborated storylines.[8]
Preview screenshots are showing laser guns as well as fantasy style melee weapons. From the numerous vehicles shown on the screenshots one could conclude that Planet Cyrene will make use of the upcoming vehicles system.
One of the screenshots showing animals in stables suggests that there will be pets/taming on Planet Cyrene.

Planet Cyrene Geography

The Northern Continent

The northern continent is an ice continent. Mentioning "the northern continent" implies Cyrene has more than just one single continent.[8]

The Gate City Of Janus

"The Gate city of Janus is one of the last great cities of the human inhabitants on Planet Cyrene. Originally a vacation hub for the political and military elite, it now houses many refugees and is one of the main re-cloning centers after the devastating attack on the capitol city of Cyrene. Built to reflect the architecture of one of mankind's most ancient civilizations, there was no expense spared in its authentic feel including a massive colosseum at its center. Whether you are a refugee, re-clone, or an adventurer who heeded the call for help, Janus will undoubtedly be one of your first experiences on Planet Cyrene."[8]
Screenshots

'Criminals City'

"Still under development, this zone will feature high end content and rewards for those crazy enough to make the journey and strong enough to enjoy it."[8]
"Once an important distribution and warehouse hub, this city has since become an abandoned ghost town and taken over by the criminal elements of Cyrene. Many great things await those strong enough to enter and survive long enough to claim the rewards had at this conflict ridden city."[8]


Tree Village

Early screenshots of Cyrene also show a tree village.
