Join the Entropia Universe History Project! Any contribution highly appreciated!


Project

The goal of this project is to set up an archive for the history of Entropia Universe and make it available for public in various ways.

One way would be the Timeline you can see further below.

Each record itself can host a huge amount of information, for an example see the Harbinger Event.

The chaotic appearance of this page will shift to a somewhat tidy and styled look with the project proceeding.

Everyone is encouraged to join the project.

Meanwhile several sub-project emerged:

  • Version Updates: The idea is to turn Version Updates into structured data using a form. Doing that they will appear in the timeline, calendar, etc. automatically. So far everything earlier than VU 10.8 is finished.
  • Entropia Universe Holidays: The idea is to introduce Entropia Holidays. Some are already confirmed and appear in the timeline, calendar, etc. automatically each year. A couple of more could be added.
  • Entropia Today: Entropia Today is a module showing events of the current day like Holidays, VUs, Competitions, etc. Entropia Today is available in the form of an RSS item to be embedded in websites.

  • 17 Dec 2004: Teleporter Update

Colonization of Amethera is now entering the next phase. Temporary teleporter stations has been dropped by the terraform units at strategic locations on the juvenile continent Amethera. Due to atmospheric turbulence only one of several teleporter beacons is able to transmit its position to Eudoria residents. The deployment of the only transmitting beacon on Treasure Island unfortunately awoke the attention of some nasty robots – please aid in fighting these down.

A group of high-ranking Imperial crafters on a surprise visit were viscously attacked by an unknown number of vile creatures while out on a tourist safari. Initial reports indicate they were carrying a limited number of exclusive garments, which weren’t found at the accident site.

  • 13 Oct 2004: Creature mating habits

The creatures on Calypso got so excited with the new VU so they started mating like crazy. The Calypso Park Ranger Association will now supply more efficient contraceptive to the species most in heat. However, the Amethera continent Animal Growth Group, have successfully pleaded for the removal of such contraceptive on the Amethera continent, meaning the animal population there will surely increase quite a lot in the course of a couple of weeks.

  • 19 Mar 2003: BN – Robots Blast Supply Ship to Bits!This evening, beginning at 9 PM MA time and for the following few hours, a Class III Hawker Clark Type Supply Ship will be hit by an evil robot attack. The explosion following the destruction of the ship will spread supplies all over Calypso! Guns and ammunition is scattered throughout the landscape and it’s up for grabs – by those fortunate enough to be there!

Omegaton officials deny the rumor that the cargo includes several high-valued items, such as the M2875 laser pistol or the Fire Forge DAR 9300. “That is utter nonsense – that kind of weaponry was not on this peaceful supply ship deployed to help the brave colonists during these hard times when the machines are attacking us once again,” Omegaton junior board member Jace Rykheer expressed in a short statement.

Those on the ground will know whether this is the truth or not.
