Important Update for all E2V1 testers 🌍✌️ This is an important update for all testers. Please download the new E2V1 version 0.1.3.2 released about 1 hour ago - we have set it so the previous build 0.1.3.1 will not have access to the multiplayer so you will need to download the new version to connect. If you are testing the multiplayer with other Players and you cannot see the other Player/s you think should be visible, please save your Character and respawn. If that does not work then restart E2V1 and reconnect. We are working on improvements to intermittent multiplayer connection drops for Players without stable internet which will be updated in next versions. Remember, generally if you can see your Ping in the lower right corner, it means you're connected to the multiplayer server, however, there are some cases where you're ping doesn't clear when a disconnection occurs so just follow the above steps if you're not seeing other Characters you expect to see. If you are steaming or posting videos, please try to note your actual real world location (where you are using E2V1 in the real world) and also note you're testing on a server in Singapore. This will help us and others understand the ping we see in the lower right corner for the stream or recording better. If you are closer to Singapore, you should get lower ping but the ping will increase the further away you are. As you can see in the video I posted on X/Twitter yesterday my ping is in the lower right corner, I usually get 18-25ms ping based in Australia to the Singapore server on a standard NBN connection. So individual Ping WILL CHANGE depending on where you are located in the world, what your internet connection is like, whether you use WiFi or ethernet cable and how far away you are from the current multiplayer location server we're using which is in Singapore at the moment (we will change to Europe and America to test results in those locations as well later). Also important, local time zone time inside build 0.1.3.2 may update one every 5 minutes from the time your Character spawns. That is 5 real world minutes, so equivalent to 20 minutes inside E2V1. The dev team are just testing something and so just keep this in mind if you are comparing times with other Players if you don't see the exact same time in the same E2V1 time zone it might be because the dev team is testing something. The multiplayer is back on now so go for it again everyone and the team will keep monitoring! Try and gather as many testers as you can in one area so we can see how E2V1 handles the rendering (multiplayer network side should handle it fine but we'd like to see the in game rendering limitations with real testers). Enjoy and we'll keep improving and fixing issues as they come up! #Earth2 #E2V1 $ESS #Metaverse #Multiplayer #PreAlpha

Authoritative server based in Singapore, me in Australia with 19ms ping & our QA ( test #3236 on screen) with 300ms ping in Europe. Just sharing this as a quick example of the results we have experienced in QA regarding the interpolation smoothness we mentioned in our latest article. earth2.io/news/reality-threa… To experience this kind of smooth responsiveness when I am connecting in Australia, to a server in Singapore playing with someone in Europe, is pretty cool. These are the type of results we've experienced in QA & hopefully most testers have a similar experience, but that is the whole reason of the Pre-Alpha state, to test different PC & network environments, and then identify any issues, fix & improve. We are going to test different server locations, starting with Singapore, and it would be useful to see how say a group of testers from Europe experience multiplayer on the Singapore server, a group between America and Europe, a group based only in Asian / Oceania. Remember, this specific multiplayer system we are testing now is for the open world of #E2V1 & will mainly be for interactive experiences that will not always require fast responsiveness meaning people from different locations around the world can interact without too much risk of losing out on something if they have a slightly higher ping. For experiences that involve PvP & even some Co-op PvE type experiences, we will run dedicated services for the specific group of Players participating, with options to select regional location, as those experiences will obviously require lower ping, more responsiveness and so forth. This has been covered briefly in the past but just reminding people again who may have missed that or forgotten. Final reminder, if someone has a really bad internet connection & high ping they will glitch - we can't control how good someone's internet connection is. For those testing together who decide to do a live stream or even record then post later after editing, please try to share details about your ping, FPS (displayed constantly in the lower right corner) in stream or recording and also back to us via the usual tester reporting avenues - we appreciate it🙏 🌍✌️ Not that I should really need to say anything as most people would know, but remember X only supports up to 1080 format, I think they actually force 720p, so the quality of the footage I have shared has been reduced to 720p by X. #Earth2 #metaverse #multiplayer #openworld #E2V1 $ESS #prealpha

Earth 2 Reality Thread 3 - Global Multiplayer across entire Digital Earth. We've been a little busy the past 4 weeks🌍✌️ 🚨earth2.io/news/reality-threa…🚨 As I've said in the past, when we're quiet it usually means we're hyper focused on development & progress. Be sure you check out the above article to learn all the details about this milestone achievement for Earth 2. #Earth2 #E2V1 #OpenWorld $ESS #Metaverse #RealityThread #multiplayer

Check out the latest progress on the #Earth2 #Hordes Combat Mechanics. Still very early days but it's coming along 🌏✌️ 📰earth2.io/news/combat-mechan… 📽️youtu.be/ceJitSlT2RA The article above has some more details so be sure to read it through. This does not change release plans for #Chapter1 but some of our community might like to see the progress on the combat system as some are interested in the #staking system, combat game play & #P2E. When we have #Chapter1 live, which will include the entire life system, exploring, crafting, surviving plus the early teleportation system (specific details of that system to be released, and then #Earth2Hordes Q3.. the foundations really start to take shape. I am not sure people realise who much just these 3 systems will bring into #E2V1, and they are literally only the beginning! We set the video to premiere just in case some in the community wanted to watch it together, otherwise we would have just instantly released. Hope you all enjoy the footage & progress on the combat system. I love the custom animations we made for the #SMG, just feels cool when slow or fast running with it! For those who have seen the #E2V1 footage being shared by early pre-alpha testers on YouTube etc - just imagine having your characters, exploring the massive open world of #E2V1 then coming across #Hordes to battle .. along with all of the other mechanics that will be implemented at the time. Cannot wait to #play! #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1 #OpenWorld #Combat $ESS #p2egames

Check out our article explaining the full Character Synthesis system incoming on #E2V1🧬 Life, survival, crafting, vitals, Essence burn, free to play details & much more 🌍✌️ earth2.io/news/dawn-of-life This release will not only include the foundations for life, but include the beginning of other core systems that will become important long term inside #E2V1. It also importantly increases potential rewards & utility for #Players holding their land & farming E-ther, especially higher tier & classes, an approach I recently reaffirmed I wanted to ensure we pursue while designing a number of the upcoming features. This feature release represents one big part of our Q2 2025 #E2V1 version update, but not the only part. The second release scheduled for Q2 will be the initial Mentar teleportation system, another huge foundation being set inside #E2V1. There will be another incoming article covering details of that system including #EPLs, teleportation, perks for T1 & high class land & some other surprises! A quick note, for #Players who have upgraded their land & secured one of the first 125K T1S tiles for each energy type, the T1S (T1 Special) class supersedes any sub-class you may receive. So if you upgrade and you see Class 2 for example, but your land has the T1S icon mark, it is treated as T1S before Class 2. As promised, the article released today highlights the depth of the #E2V1 avatar release, as mentioned in my post earlier this week. It also highlights the multiple systems we are working on for this release in order to provide our #Players with some activities to do short term inside our evolving digital world! It should self explain why things are taking a little longer than first anticipated & how this is no longer a simple #avatar spawn & do nothing update. I am very excited about these updates rolling out & am extremely keen to get this public! I also want to thank our testers who are on standby to begin playing with these updates as they become available this quarter! On a closing note, I know the Free to Play model will receive some discussion & I am sure there will be varying opinions. I wanted to approach it in a unique way that fits in with our #EcoSim & the ideology I've had for #Earth2 from day 1. Not other does this design take an alternative approach to the promise of loot discovered on a #property being split with the owner but also allows the land owner to request exactly what they are looking for in return for providing life to a free to play #Player. I think it's a pretty cool concept, say I might want some health potions for my upcoming #Hordes game (or something else) this weekend, so I'm happy to provide a free to play #Player with some E-ther to get their own character going in return for some potions. Or maybe I want them to capture something for me, or find a specific material. There will be an insane amount of different quests landowners can set over time which I find really exciting. In fact this design approach I've taken is possibly better than the property based loot split as it is not limited to land owned by the #Player providing the E-ther for the quest, which came from the land they own. We have already implemented a number of the systems set for release this quarter and have been testing them behind closed doors inside #E2V1, but there are some more refinements and additions to make. There has been a lot of thought & design put into the systems revealed in the article today, both for the short and long term vision of the platform, so I hope everyone enjoys the update & details on what's coming up! #Earth2 #E2V1 #PlayerOwned #PlayerDriven #LandisKing #Utility $ESS #Future #OpenWorld #Metaverse

Chapter 1 Pre-Alpha "Explore. Craft. Survive." will be dropping this quarter welcoming the very first inhabitants to #E2V1 & introduce early mechanics that will form the foundation of life inside #Earth2🌍✌️ youtu.be/-h0YIYp6POA<-👍💬💪 Read below for important details: This update is no longer a simple avatar release but a significant update to the entire foundation of the #E2V1 world. When I first talked about dropping avatars I was eager to keep things moving and referred to a very simple system to test skins and movement, then to subsequently implement the full version after that. While this approach would have brought new content out quickly, it could have turned into weeks of extra development time with little upside for the wider community, apart from testing the movement and appearance of the avatars, there would have been little else to do until another subsequent update. Therefore I made the decision to focus solely on implementing the core part of the full system we plan to use long term on the platform. I apologise that this release will take a little longer than originally anticipated, having moved away from the initial lower spec'd plan, but I'd like to get this right & ready for a wider audience to start using and enjoying. As much as I'd love to push out updates faster, I will be taking this approach to #E2V1 development in the future as well. The plan will still be to release to our testing group first after our internal QA, test and then stabilise. If all looks good and we're happy with how everything is performing, we will push forward with a public release. There will inevitably be ongoing adjustments, additions and tweaks to these type of systems over time. It may seem like a long time, but #E2V1 was only released to our testing group 7 weeks ago! How crazy is that? I know for me it feels like many months already. Nonetheless, during this short period of time we have not only released a couple of updated versions, and an updated version to the Earth 2 Launcher, but the team has also been working incredibly hard on the #E2V1 and #BE mechanics for the Chapter 1 systems - and there is a lot involved in this upcoming release. We will be dropping an article later this week, which I believe will help our community understand the extensive list of features planned for this release and in turn explain why it is taking a little longer. I'd rather not spoil all of the details, but the article contains a lot of information about the various systems we're developing including rules of life, avatar synthesisation, death, saving, skins, day/night cycles, free to play model, avatar vitals, how land ownership fits in with all of this and much more. It is important to keep in mind that each of these systems needed to be designed and implemented, which takes time. The article will also begin to reveal some of the design plans I have been working on to increase utility for T1 land, which will also include various T1 classes. I also intend to follow through and expand utility on T1 land into other upcoming mechanics on the platform, some of which will be revealed in a separate article in the near future and are also part of the Chapter 1 release. Ideally, all going well, we will be testing early multiplayer at some stage this quarter and as mentioned earlier this year #Hordes in Q3, #EggHunt in Q4 & maybe some early buildings on properties. In addition to these goals, we have a couple of wild card features floating around in between as well. I know I reiterate it from time to time, but the long term goal for #Earth2 has not changed. We are building a #geolocational #metaverse - a platform! We still want #Players building cities, providing more individualised experiences, advertising, trading, shopping, e-commerce, socialising and so forth. And I still have plans to link #E2V1 into #AR and support #VR, but we cannot do all of this at once. I am also looking at ways we can expand the team and setup a studio, probably in East Asia, to speed up development. The current features we're focusing on plan to expand utility for land on a wide scale & introduce various experiences inside #E2V1, providing potential benefits for land owners & #Players alike on a broader level, while at the same time allowing our team to introduce mechanics that will be used throughout the future of the platform, test limitations and work our way around challenges as they arise. Thanks for reading and don't forget to drop a like and comment on the video! youtu.be/-h0YIYp6POA<-👍💬💪 We appreciate the love and support and it also helps with the algorithm! Keep an eye out for the article later this week - a lot of details incoming! I want life to have meaning inside Earth 2 and I believe my approach could change the way #Players consider each action on the platform.. possibly alter the overall dynamics in a number of ways. #Metaverse #E2V1 #OpenWorld #earlyaccess #Earth2 $ESS
