Together they form a chronological technical record of the changes that shaped Entropia Universe from its early years to the modern era.

Additional Information
This is the basic Dynamic Event rundown:

  • The Event is divided in four (4) parts, SGP 1-3 and Fort
  • The Robots will attack the first SGP (Shield Generator Platform) in four (4) waves
  • Destroying the required amount of robots within a wave’s time limit will count as a success, spawn a Reclaimer Unit and shortly thereafter start the next wave
  • Failing to destroy the required amount of robots within a wave’s time limit will fail the event part and shortly thereafter start the next event part.
    • Example: failing SGP 1 Wave 2 will fail the SGP 1 Event part and shortly thereafter the SGP 2 Event part will start
  • Succeeding in an Event part (clearing all 4 waves) will provide a variety of temporary buff effects to participants who reach 100% Contribution during the event. Which buff effect one receives is based on the event
  • The end Boss, a Warlock I3-TF, has a dynamic maturity. The more Reclaimers have been killed the higher the Boss’ maturity. The Boss has five (5) maturity levels
