In 2010, ROCKtropia was introduced as the second planet in the Entropia Universe, followed by four additional planets and two moons. In the coming weeks, the sixth planet will be unveiled, marking the dawn of a new era of planetary exploration and user-generated content. Behind the scenes, MindArk developers have been working on a top-secret initiative known as The Genesis Probe. Looking ahead, Genesis Probes will become available to all participants within the Entropia Universe, granting the opportunity to create fully functional planets of their own. This expansive vision for user-generated content aims to support sustained population growth—mirroring the increasing global interest in virtual worlds and metaverses. Upon the official release, players will be able to manufacture and launch Genesis Probes to discover and customize and terraform new planets. A dedicated interface will facilitate the design process, from initial prompt-based creation to ongoing updates and refinements. Newly formed planets will be automatically deeded to their creators, who may opt to add these deeds to the Entropia Exchange if they wish. MindArk has extended an invitation to existing Planet Partners to incorporate these new tools when they become available and remain part of Entropia Universe’s core architecture. The majority deed holder of each planet will control the interface and oversee the planet’s evolution. Planet Calypso, ROCKtropia, Next Island, ARIS, Monria, Howling Mine and Secret Island will all adopt the Genesis Project technology. However, any existing planet that elects not to transition to the new development tools will face a cataclysmic extinction event within four years ( Hold Over Period). Players holding deeds or items from planets choosing not to transition will be offered compensation options via other participating planets. This groundbreaking direction is intended to elevate creativity, fuel community engagement, and usher in a future of boundless expansion within the Entropia Universe. Stay tuned for further updates as we embark on this exciting new chapter together. Continue reading...
