ROCKtropia: Introducing the Motorhead Stadium Beer Garden

    While normal people dream of the land of milk and honey, this does not happen to professional rockstars. Days of constant touring, partying and signing autographs leave those kind of road-savvy people longing for only one thing: A nice cold glass of Beer.

    Nowhere is this more obvious than on ROCKTropia, where one can find the Motorhead Stadium Beer Garden. Wedged inbetween the Stadium's Main, Left and Right stage, the Beer Garden is dominated by a gigantic beer draft, engraved with the image of the Motorhead men, and spouting out thousands of liters of beer a minute. At the same time, though, it also ends up losing some to the groupies, who waste no time putting it into a keg and partying with those.

    However, as they then spot another rockstar to chase, these kegs are often left abandoned in the Beer Garden, and are basically free game for anyone quick enough to snatch them up. Bear in mind though, that seeing you are right in front of the main stadium, the area resembles a mosh pit, and thus is a (non-lootable) PVP area.

    As you might have guessed, he Beer Garden is not unlike Calypso's Oil Rig, albeit there are some notable differences:

    * The Beer Garden Draft drops the Motorhead Kegs far more often than the Calypso Oil Rig coughs up oil. On average, I would estimate there's a 20 to 30 second delay between the drops.
    * The kegs dropped only have a 1 PEC (0.01 PED) value, and very little markup on them.
    * Where the Calypso Oil Rig spits out batches of oil drums, the Beer Garden draft deposits 1 or 2 kegs at a time.
    * The Beer Garden is relatively easy to get to. It's two jumps with a 'Teleportation Chip I' chip away from the nearest TP ("Stadium Entrance"), with a clear road leading directly to the Beer Garden. The road has a few MOBs around it, but they are the relatively easy Motorhead Security Guards, rather than the Atrox Alpha and up one finds around the Rig.
    * At the Beer Garden, there's a Trade Terminal, an Auctioneer, and even a crafting machine.
    * The general atmosphere is much friendlier at the Beer Garden. This could be due to the relatively low value of the drops (it probably costs more to fire a few shots at someone than one gains in Kegs), but in my time at the Beer Garden, I have not had to fight every step of the way to get my greedy little hands on some of the kegs.

    It is also possible to get on top of the draft structure. At the North-East corner of the structure, an old Skeleton offers a helping hand.

    At this very moment, I do not have any knowledge of what the Kegs are used for. The description states they can be used for manufacturing, but I am not aware of any Blueprints requiring them. It is also not possible to refine the Kegs, though while looking around ROCKTropia, I did see other participants had Motorhead Beer Cans. I am not convinced the two are related, but perhaps someone can shed some light on that :)

    In short, for those who are looking for a few extra PEDs, the ROCKTropia Motorhead Stadium Beer Garden might offer a nice alternative to sweating or looking for fruit, and it for sure is a safer trip than the one to the Oil Rig.

    Amber Knightley I see dead people.

    Motorhead Beer Cans was the first delivery that came out, but it didn't last long cause of the small size, ROCKtropians drink a lot of beer!

    And a special note that you forgot or maybe didn't think of is that this is maybe the only place in Entropia where we can find blood o.O

  7. Does it no longer drop kegs? I went there and waited 20 minutes and nothing dropped. :sad1:

    Not sure how it works. Sometimes it's dropping and sometimes not.

    Seems they have changed something but how or why not to sure.
