Calypso Gateway

Calypso Gateway is the place on Planet Calypso where all new arrivals begin the game. It was introduced in Version Update 11.2.2 / Content Release 2010.3. Calypso Gateway was open house for 1 week after its launch to gives all existing Entropia Universe players the chance to experience the area. Now the only way to access Calypso Gateway is creating a new account and finishing the avatar creation session. The only way to leave Calypso Gateway is by the Teleporter which features only one single direction: Port Atlantis.

Update 2010.3.1 changed the Gateway a bit. Some NPC's could have been moved slightly

Missions

While "Open House" were are 14 missions available at Calypso Gateway.


"Known issues:
  • Instruction dialogue in Crafting 101 part 2 lacks explanation of where to put the blueprint
  • End dialogue of Crafting 101 part 2 always assumes you succeed in crafting
  • Crafting and Manufacturing Officials at the Hub are on the wrong side and not facing the entry corridor
  • Dialogues in Understanding Hunting sometimes assume that the avatar is male. They should be gender-specific.
  • If you talk to the Chikara representative after Crafting 101 part 2 is done, and your avatar is female, the dialogue is stuck on the first page. The Chikara representative doesn't have any more missions after part 2.
  • In the mission Mining 101 lesson 2, the objective Get 3 Lysterium Stones is not marked as complete when you get the stones. He also sends you to dr Clark regardless of you getting the stones or not."
UPDATE: Probably these issues have been solved by CR 2010.3.1

. . Planet Calypso Builds Area for New Players

Calypso Gateway gives beginning colonists a place to call home GOTEBORG, Sweden, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- First Planet Company, developer and publisher of the largest real cash economy MMORPG, announced today a revolution in the way new players can access Planet Calypso. Calypso Gateway gives beginning colonists a...

. . dedicated location to start out, get missions and learn about the game all in a safe environment.

Planet Calypso is known for its real-cash economy, grand scope, lush visuals and a very steep learning curve. Enter Calypso Gateway, the new content release from First Planet Company, which features an innovative starting point for newcomers. For many years those arriving on Calypso have started their new life on the busy streets of Port Atlantis, left with nothing but their bare hands and an orange jumpsuit. They have had a world of possibility to explore but at the same time the experience can prove daunting and overpowering. This new addition to Calypso changes all of that.

The Calypso Gateway is a secluded area consisting of an arrival terminal located on an island. It is the first point-of-contact with the game, after the avatar creation process. Calypso Gateway features several introduction missions to orient new players and make sure they have vital equipment. Newcomers will be able to engage in hunting, mining and crafting, using the equipment given. The tutorial-like mission structure allows players to learn about Calypso, the Real Cash Economy model and the way the basic features work. The Gateway is a place where newcomers can interact and learn, without many of the distractions found elsewhere on Calypso, as the area is off-limits for all other colonists. Once players take the one-way teleporter to go to mainland Calypso they can never go back.

First Planet Company is the developer and publisher of Planet Calypso, the largest real economy Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the world. Players have the ability to participate in a unique virtual world where they have no monthly costs. Its innovative real money economy uses a virtual currency which has a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar. This allows players to deposit and withdraw real funds for their adventures on Calypso or in the real world. It is also the first MMORPG to use CryTek's stunning CryENGINE 2 for amazing graphics and physics. Planet Calypso is the oldest planet in the Entropia Universe and is free to download.

Planet Calypso is a free download available at the game's website, www.planetcalypso.com.
