On The Pulse

Did you feel the lag? You may have noticed a slight delay while logging in on June 30th and were more than likely prompted to wait for an update to download a patch to your system but trust us, it was totally worth it.

Here are the specs to the latest update:
- A brand-spanking-new look to the skyscrapers in and around City of Dreams.
- Two – count ‘em TWO – brand new cities ready to explore!
- Our favorite Video Vixens look sexier than ever and even the Auctioneer is sporting new threads.
- Zombies around Zomhattan have had a bit of a sprucing up.
- PvP has returned to Zomhattan, make sure before you enter you take a Toxic shot (located in the Trade Terminals). Don’t forget if you are killed by another player in this zone all your stackable items can be looted.

There is even new loot to boot! Get out there and see what you can nab off of your fallen enemies. Plus you never know what else you might find…

The new era of vehicles in ROCKtropia  was ushered in by none other than ROCK n ROLL Legend Lemmy Kilmister.   A lucky few were greeted by Lemmy as he flew through a wormhole, jumped into his ride and tore down the broken highways of his castle lands.

Hosting the event was Marius and Tenacity (part of your ROCKtropian Crew). Instead of just handing these prized items out they had players work for the chance to win a new car. Things started out with some Music Trivia (Jeopardy style), finding Marius at a random ROCKtropia teleport, streaking down the street to meet Tenacity, and being one of the lucky ones to jump into a wormhole. It was awesome to see so many ROCKtropians eager to get a car.

We would like to thank all of the players who took part in the hours and hours of festivities.

Missed out on all the fun, did you? The best way to see the action is to be a part of the action. Don’t miss out on a second of what’s going on in ROCKtropia – all you have to do is log in!

P.S  not all the vehicles were handed out so stay tuned for more chances to earn a ride

Gentlemen – and ladies – get ready for the wildest ride of your life!

Coming with the next update (tentatively on June 21st) vehicles will make their arrival at ROCKtropia. Starting on Monday your ROCKtropian Crew will be wandering around and handing out some FREE vehicles to our die-hard ROCKtropians.

You might just be one of the lucky ROCKtropians to get a new ride – FREE!

Mindforce has made its debut on ROCKtropia and return to the Entropia Universe.

What is Mindforce you ask?

Mindforce can be used as a weapon, to heal, revive and even teleport. But in order to get them working you need a few things first.

• Payn-Inc Implant Inserter (available at any Trade Terminal)
• NeoPsion 10 or higher Mindforce Implant (available at any Trade Terminal)

Drag the Implant onto the Inserter to combine the too, then equip the Inserter and use the item. This will place the Implant on your character. Next all you have to do is acquire and equip a Mindforce chip either from trading or at auction. Depending on which chip you are trying to use, some will require Synthetic Mind Essence (available at any Trade Terminal) or regular Mind Essence (which can be made by refining Vibrant Sweat with Force Nexus. After the above steps simply use these Mindforce chips as you would a weapon.

So what are you waiting for? Go out and get some Mindforce today. It is pretty badass to shoot lightning out of your hands…

Marius Exclusive –

It seems as though some new Wolves have been spotted in ROCKtropia. In the coming days be sure to keep an eye out for these beasts. If you are unable to spot one in the wilderness just look carefully for their glowing yellow eyes.

When you arrive in ROCKtropia, find the nearest teleporter and you will have instant access to Vicar Village, the base camp in Lemmy’s Castle, Kevin Rudolf’s B.A.M.F HQ, the only safe zone in Zomhattan, Evil Cathedral, the heart of the Lycan War and City of Dreams, the entertainment capital of ROCKtropia.

The City of Dreams is open as a starter destination, it’s pretty safe if you stick to the main boulevard.  If u like to party you can hang with the Video Vixens but don’t try to collect their sweat, they can be quite temperamental.  If u wander too far from the city you may encounter POP Dragons, which can be pretty fierce. If u want to be a part of the growth of The City of Dreams, try hunting the Dragons or even mining for Gold.  You can bet our artists are going to need plenty of gold and platinum for their records.

City of Dreams is under serious construction! NEVERDIE Studios is pulling out all the stops to give you the capital city you deserve. If you want to participate in the growth of the city, please help keep the rampant POP Dragon population under control, unfortunately they breed like rabbits and are likely to fry tourists, so do your best to keep their numbers down so we can safely expand the city and create incredible shops, apartments, studios, clubs and bars for you to manage and own. Remember the more Dragons you hunt, the greater the City of Dreams will become.

The first major ROCKtropia Version update;

ROCKtropia 1.1 will be the expansion of the City of Dreams.

At the time of the ROCKtropia 1.1 Version update, The Top Ten Avatars in the Hall of Fame All Time High Category for Hunting Loots will each receive an exclusive founders apartment in the City of Dreams…

Future generations of Virtual Rock Stars will always thank you for your faith in the future of Rock N Roll!

Yours truly,

Jon “NEVERDIE” Jacobs.
