The folks at Entropia have announced an event where players can defend their planet from an invading army of space robots and earn 3 times the normal amount of skill experience.

Every participant will receive 3 times the normal amount of skill experience gains during this period. The bonus will be in effect for all professions, during all activities throughout planet Calypso, Crystal Palace and Club Neverdie for this period.

A dark shadow has fallen over the cities of Calypso: robot mother ships have appeared in the sky. Startled colonists have gathered watching the ominous steel hulks. Fear has spread through the colony as it scrambles to prepare for a fight.

3 Times as many Skill Points

Join the battle now and receive 3 times the normal skill experience gains between December 5th and 21st. Enlist today and help recover new robot technology that can give the colony an edge. Miners and crafters are needed to supply the troops on the front line.

The Government will reward colonists that can salvage all the pieces of new technology with 15 complete sets of Protector of the Empire armor. Calypso needs you now!
