Beyond its old greek meaning, “
CALYPSO” is here a server for a multiplayer futuristic game, free to play, based on “Ultima Online” …
Futuristic? yes, because it is in the future of course, but let’s be precise. This is a “cross-over” style: a mix between science-fiction and middle-age fantasy.
Although in-game things will appear in French, we are setting up effort to translate it in english. All the website is already translated in English.
In order to learn more about it, you can read the
STORY as an introduction. And, if you are too curious to play the introduction, you may also read the page “
…More about the game…“. However I recommand to start playing without reading it, just for your fun.
For the rookies of “
Ultima Online“, this server uses a unique customized map. All is rethinked, reprogrammed, even redrawn: compétences, difficulties, “gameplay”, bestiary, systems… We even to to the possibility to provide the player to endorse a Game Master role with some restriction of course, to help n the autonomy of this server.
---==STORY==---
Earth, year 2297.
Polution is killing the entire humanity.
After the discovery of a new plante on which human can live, nammed CALYPSO, the World government launches a last attempt for the survival of humanity, launching an interstellar program.
CALYPSO is a planetr which seems to be able to host humans, according to the data retrieved from the cosmo-scopes. Creating a similar ecosystem with plants and aniùals seems doable. Although it is at 18 light-years, a travel through a worm hole would spend 70 yeards.
o THE ROBOTS CONVEY, UNMANNED: 2315
With the new technologies, the company “Nuka”, mandated by the government, sends a huge convey of robots on the largest moon of CALYPSO in order to prepare a transit station to the planete. Due to the distance, it is impossible to have any communication with this station from Earth. Only the talent of the engineers of the “Nuka” company can bring the hope that the transit station setup has been successful.

Few years before the beginning of this story, a loto game is launched by the World government to select people able to leave Earth and travel to Calypso.

Each shuttle have 2 persons in cryogenic hibernation.…
o THE “SECOND WAVE”, WITH HUMANS: 2345 (present story year)
It’s only after 15 years that a second wave and loto game is organized for the last convey to the transit moon.
