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…

Welcome to the first ROCKtropia Global Single competition.

Starting right now until July 5th, your objective is to get the biggest solo Global you can off of any ROCKtropia enemies. Once you hit a Global press “U” so that the Mindark time is displayed then take a screenshot and post it in this NEVERDIE.com thread. For those new to the ROCKtropia, a Global is when you kill a enemy that has a value of 50PED or higher. After July 5th, all screenshots will be reviewed for authenticity and the winner will earn 100PED.

UPDATE: The prize for this competition has now been increased to 1000PED

Good luck out there HUNTERS!!!

Get ready to race against some of the best drivers on ROCKtropia, your Road Racing Capital!

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!

Join us on Saturday June 12th starting at 21:00pm GMT in City of Dreams for the ROCKtropian Flea Market, as some of your ROCKtropian Crew will be on hand to buy sweat, looted items, mined resources, and basically anything else you want to part with for the market value of the day. Be quick about it: each crew member on hand will only be able to buy a certain amount of items! But in order to be a part of this event you must first be registered at NEVERDIE.com and post your name HERE. The Crew will only have a limited amount of PED on hand so once the PED is gone you will just have to wait for the next Flea Market!

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…
