In a move to make our virtual lives eerily more like our real ones, the First Planet Company has re-opened the oil pumping station on Planet Calypso with patch 10.1, offering all players the chance to make a quick profit by grabbing oil from the pump -- if you can make it out alive, of course.
The pumping station is not only in the middle of the wasteland, but it's also surrounded by angry NPCs (the wastelanders) and it's right in the middle of an open PvP area. Sure, you can make a tidy profit by grabbing oil from the station, but you have to be efficient and sneaky about it. Otherwise, you'll just end up with a bullet in your back and your blood mixed with the oil.

Beyond the pumping station, mindforce teleportation has been re-enabled, allowing players to once again teleport themselves via "magic." Skill extraction and the gathering of rocks, fruit, and dung (yes, that's right, we said dung) has also been re-enabled, so those of us who don't want to invest money can make some PED currency.
If you're looking for all of the nitty gritty details, though, check out the patch notes over at Planet Calypso's main website.

That all sounds well and good but I guarantee before you get to the oil, and I have seen the redesign of the rig before it went "online" its nice ..... that you will be one shotted by the group of ubers who are in "control" of the rig before you even get close to the "free Oil".
so not to burst anyone's bubble who is unfamiliar with the game but, unless your in the society that is camping the rig at the moment, don't even bother..... cause if the monsters don't get you the shamelessly high lvl players in the PVP zone its in will :)
Heck they were capping people well before it went online just because they could.
