Event: The migration season is here!


The heightened level of Eomon pheromons detected at the Calypso Defence Force monitoring stations at Oseres, Nymphtown and Fort Ithaca over the last few weeks signify the the start of the majestic Eomon's long and harsh migrate over the plains of the Eudorian continent on Calypso and the appearance of longtooth, the larger cousin of the Exarosaur.


The research and development institute estimates that the migration will start on the 5th July.


Estimated migration paths based on data collected from previous migrations for both the Eomon and the Longtooth species has been released by xenobiologists with the institute.

The Eomon migration begins in the eastern parts of the Eudorian continent in the Minopolis desert region, passing near Ashi before ending in the south near Camp Carter.

Predictions that the Longtooth Migration Path will begin east of Cape Corinth and south of Livas outpost, and end near Fort Ithaca.
Herds of Longtooths have been appearing in wave and have been reported to be wandering the across continent of Eudoria.

Highly mature Longtooths can be found West of Fort Argus and North of Livas Heights.

If you are a new to hunting and wish to take part in the seasonal hunt, Longtooth Adolescents suitable for the young hunters have been spotted at Chug’s Hideout and Fort Zeus.

Iron, Bronze and Silver missions for Eomon and Longtooth are available from hunting mission terminals at cities, settlements and outposts across Calypso. The Silver mission is a repeatable mission, enabling even the most experienced big game hunters to get an additional reward.


Every Tuesday and Friday EntropiaZine will be releasing updates of the location of the Longtooth and the Eomon as we follow them threw their long voyage across the continent, click here to see the latest updates.

News: The Eomon And The Mul


The Colonial Xenobiological Institute has studied possible reasons for the Mul's behaviour for several seasons. The studies show that members of all Mul tribes assemble to take part in rituals. The purpose of the rituals is believed to be a rite of passage connected to the annual Eomon migration season.


The Mul mutants on Calypso aggressive behaviour during their seasonal rituals have been suggested to be connected to the rise of Eomon pheromones in the atmosphere. The Mulmun tribe in particular seem strongly affected by these pheromones.

The Eomon are the real giants of Calypso. Their annual migration across the continent of Eudoria, The north continent of Calypso was discovered years ago, but the Eomon's origins and the purpose of their migration currently remain a mystery.

The Mul tribes are actively attacking several settlements on the continent, this is usually seen as a precursor to the migration season.

The Calypso Defense Force are currently collecting intelligence on the development of Eomon and Longtooth activity on Eudoria, and have reported current Eomon pheromones levels at monitoring stations are currently low, but have been raising rapidly.

Peak pheromone activity have been detected at the Calypso Defence Force monitoring stations at Oseres, Nymphtown and Fort Ithaca.


The Eomon migration continues to be a popular seasonal hunting event for new and seasoned big game hunters, the large Eomon migration is an annual event on Calypso.

The predators that follow in the wake of the mighty Eomon herd, are the Mul participating in their right of passage.

During the Migration period Longtooth also migrate across the continent of Eudoria, which are also a popular hunting target in this season.

The Eomon is an incredibly massive animal with four legs needed to support its own weight. A hard skin armor combined with its size is enough to keep most predators away, making this one of the largest herbivores on the planet.

The Longtooth is a form of Exarosaur that is very rarely seen on Calypso. Scientists from the Zoological Institute believe its appearance along with the migration season is somehow connected with the overall life cycle of the herd. This is as yet unconfirmed and the Longtooth remains a fascinating mystery.


Every Tuesday and Friday EntropiaZine will be releasing updates of the location of the Longtooth and the Eomon as we follow them threw their long voyage across the continent, click here to see the latest updates.


Event: Summer Mayhem 2019!


The Mul mutants on Calypso aggressive behaviour during their seasonal rituals have been suggested to be connected to the rise of Eomon pheromones in the atmosphere by scientists at the Colonial Xenobiological Institute . The Mulmun tribe in particular seem strongly affected by the pheromones.


At the center of the Mulmun ritual an Ascended Mulmun become highly agitated and extremely powerful, however these temporary powers also renders him immobile standing in the center of the area where the Mulmun rite takes place.

In order to determine which Entropians can defeat the Ascended Mulmun the fastest and win one of the Summer Mayhem prizes, a timer will start when entering the Mulmun ritual area in Assault mode.

In addition to getting the shortest Assault time, it is also possible to compete in Annihilation mode where the participants who gather the most points will win prizes.



Assault Mode:

Performance in Summer Mayhem Assault is time-based. The objective is to kill a special immobile Assault Mulmun Ascended boss creature as quickly as possible.

The Assault Mulmun Ascended boss is immune to damage unless a special buff is active. This buff is received after killing an elite Assault Longtooth, and allows the Assault Mulmun Ascended to be damaged for 60 seconds, or up to 20% of its maximum health.

An Assault Longtooth is spawned after killing 20 Assault Mulmun creatures, with a limit of 3 Assault Longtooth active at any one time.

Also, the Assault Longtooth has a Dodge Chance buff that makes melee and MindForce weapons relatively more effective at dealing damage to it than traditional ranged weapons.

Upon killing the Assault Mulmun Ascended boss, the instance stops spawning new creatures and the participant’s time is recorded for the current category, if that time is shorter than any previous runs in that category.

Pay attention to both positive and negative buff effects inside the Summer Mayhem.

You can only have a recorded time in a single Assault category at a time. Recording a new score with a higher leader board rank (regardless of category) will replace any previously-recorded time.


Annihilation Mode:

Interact with the Pile of Skulls inside the Annihilation event instance to begin spawning creatures and start the mission timer; the timer pauses automatically when leaving the instance.

Eliminate Mayhem Mulmuns to accumulate as many points as possible in 10 hours.

A random number of points (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, or 5000) is automatically awarded after defeating one of the event instance creatures.

Once your 10-hour run is complete, your score is finalised and recorded on the event leader board. You can then start a new run to try to improve upon your previously-recorded rank.

The score from a subsequent run is only recorded if it would result in a higher leader board rank.

You can only have a recorded score in a single category at a time. Recording a new score with a higher leaderboard rank (regardless of category) will replace any previously-recorded score.

The top ten highest scorers (most accumulated points) in each category win prizes.


Event Rules:

This event is intended for solo hunters. Any attempt at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account.

It is possible for participants to abandon the Annihilation mission and restart the event. In order to prevent excessive use of this feature and to protect the fairness of the event, any participant who abandons the Annihilation mission more than 3 times will be considered disqualified from the event and ineligible for prizes.

Bypassing or attempting to bypass any of the event instance entry or item restrictions will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account.

Anyone found using multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage or to win prizes in multiple categories or divisions will forfeit all prizes and risk additional sanctions on their Entropia Universe account(s), including potential account termination.

Event Ends: July 1, 13:00 UTC 2019.

Event: Mul Rite Of Passage, Mul Alert


The Colonial Xenobiological Institute and the Calypso Defense Force have issued a warning about increased Mul activity. The Mul mutants, Mulmun, Muluk-hir and Mulaak´f, are well known for their increased violent behaviour during this time of year.

Mul's have been spotted near Fort Ithaca, Fort Pandora, Fort Zeus, and Jason Center.

The Colonial Xenobiological Institute has studied possible reasons for the Mul's behaviour for several seasons. The studies show that members of all Mul tribes assemble to take part in ritual dancing and brawling while becoming increasingly aggressive. The purpose of the rituals is believed to be a rite of passage connected to the annual migration season.

The Calypso Firearms Association has issued a number of Hunting Challenges for the Mul tribes, these are available from the Hunting Challenge Terminals. As the Mul's attack using their fists and feet, hunters are advised to enhance their armour with the corresponding plating types.

Fort Ithica:
All types, South of teleporter

Fort Pandora:
Mulaak´f, South of teleporter

Fort Zeus:
Muluk-Hir, West of teleporter
Muluk-Hir, East of teleporter

Jason Center:
Mulmun, All around Teleporter

Event: Marcimex Unrest on Eudoria


The Calypso Defence Force and the Colonial Xenobiology Institute have issued a high alert warning after several groups of colonists have been attacked by hordes of Marcimex, an indigenous giant spider-like bug of Calypso.


The initial High Alert Warning was issued for areas around Twin Peaks; minutes later areas near Boreas, Cyclops Volcano, and Jurra Plateau were added.


The reason for the Marcimex infestation is not yet clear. A senior Xenobiology researchers theorise one of the potential factors to be population density changes and other natural causes and less conservative voices are raising the idea that these outbreaks could be related to the increased colonist activity on the planet.


A rumour spreading fast in at Twin Peaks mentions that the infestation could be related to Robot underground activities. Currently no official sources can currently confirm the reason for the recent Marcimex activity, and all rumours are considered to be speculation at this point, until further data is gathered.


Its thick shell makes it resistant to most attacks. The horn is mainly used for digging, but it can also be used for defence when the Marcimex feels threatened or cornered.

Colonists should also watch out for the spikes covering its body, as they are incredibly sharp and dangerous. While nearly blind, they have a very acute sense of hearing.

Spending their entire lives beneath the ground, these giants are rarely seen, but as of recent have been raising to the surface, although this is not first time the frequency of these kind of events are raising.

5% of revenue is allocated for the cost of the Energized Fertilizer required for the running of the biodomes, event prizes, and other estate maintenance and improvements.

Tax rate in all biodomes will be initially set to 4.5%. MindArk states that these setting can potentially be voted on by shareholders in the future. Payments of the revenue will be payed every Monday.

The estate will be managed by the official avatar "MindArk CrystalPalace Manager". Energized Fertilizer necessary to maintain creature spawns in the biodomes will be acquired by "MindArk CrystalPalace Manager" at the normal auction at market prices.
