It seems the guys behind real-money economy MMO Project Entropia have relaunched their science fiction colonist game world as Planet Calypso, this time powered by CryTek’s CryEngine 2. Of course it’s free to sign up and download, but the money you get in the game world will be largely dependent on the cash you put into it yourself. That said, there should be ways and means to make money in the world if you’re crafty enough. MindArk are once again selling it as an entrepreneurial experience, where the wheeler-dealing gamer can get along: “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. So that’s good.
