Planet Calypso, or Entropia Universe as it is alternatively known as, is an MMORPG set in a virtual universe – attempting to mimic reality in a scifi setting. See, the game utilizes a very unique micropayment system that allows players to trade real money for in-game items, and exchange in-game items and money for real money at an exchange of 10 PED : 1 USD. This means that players are more than capable of playing the game with the objective of making real money.

Planet Calypso Information

Planet Calypso, or Entropia Universe is a 3D scifi free to play MMORPG.

Planet Calypso has a very in-depth character creator, and upon successful creation of your avatar, you are given the option of multiple planets to choose to begin your adventure. Like most MMORPGs, you are given the ability to explore, socialize, hunt monsters, craft unique gear, mine various nodes, harvest differing resources, and more.

As we mentioned, it is possible to make real life money in-game. By trading in-game virtual objects, and redeeming money at a ration to 10 PED to 1 USD, you can even go so far as to make an actual living out of the game. Jon Jacobs, back in November 2010, sold a virtual resort for $5,000 USD.

Planet Calypso is one of the best looking scifi MMORPG on the market right now. It is evident that the team behind the game paid a significant amount of attention to detail when crafting the game-world.

There are no races other than Human, and no classes in-game.

I’m not even kidding with Planet Calypso (or Entropia Universe, whichever you want to call it.)

I’m sure there’s going to be quite a bit of hate over this video as we did think the MMORPG overall wasn’t great, but that’s because the combat is some of the slowest combat I’ve ever experienced. It was literally.. left click to auto-shoot a single bullet at the enemy.. left click again to auto shoot another single bullet at the enemy.. Graphically, the game looked much better though. Graphically, Planet Calypso is a pretty beautiful Scifi MMORPG. The scenery and vistas that we got to see were huge and gorgeous. The character models on the other hand.. Eh, not really so much.

All in all, not the worst experience but definitely not a great one.
