Colonists Receive Call for Help From the New Planet Calypso

See the world's first MMO powered by CryENGINE(R)2

GOTEBORG, Sweden, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- First Planet Company, developer and
publisher of the largest real cash economy MMORPG, announced that the
completely new Planet Calypso - The Colonist MMO has been launched today on
PC's worldwide. This new release sees the complete transformation from
Project Entropia as it becomes Planet Calypso with beautiful new vistas, a
compelling new story and dangerous monsters all rendered in Crytek's stunning
CryENGINE 2.

As an exclusive benefit to players who sign on now, Planet Calypso's 'Second
Golden Age' has been declared. As the new version is brought fully online,
and new and improved features are added, players are being given a chance to
find elite items that will never be made public again. Additionally, as a
thank you for helping to make sure the planet is ready, veteran and former
colonists are all being given a very special gift. A brand new pair of
Gullaldr sunglasses, now more important than ever since the introduction of
day and night cycles, will be waiting. Colonists will have the ability to
directly impact the new world as they can interface directly with the
development team should they have any problems. This will help Planet Calypso
smoothly implement its new and improved features.

"As always a player's real life business skills can still translate to real
money in their bank account," said Marco Behrmann, CEO of First Planet
Company. "With Planet Calypso we are focusing our efforts on game play,
storyline, events and an overall engrossing experience for the user.
Explorers can still seek their real life fortune on Planet Calypso, but they
can also just play a fantastic and entertaining MMORPG"

Planet Calypso will continue the tradition of using real currency in the game
and allowing players an opportunity to use their business skills to make real
money. Six years after the initial launch as Project Entropia, the game is now
called "Planet Calypso" and uses state-of-the-art technology. Its real cash
economy, using a fixed exchange rate of 10:1 between its PED currency and the
USD, is still the mainstay of this MMORPG. Players will have the ability to
play for free and participate in a unique virtual economy with real prospects.

Planet Calypso is a free download available today. For more information
