Just a quick clarification - a little over 1,000 is the number of #Players who have access to and have downloaded #E2V1 at least once to date. Quite a few more have access but have not downloaded yet or may not realise it as we have never sent out any email confirmations when access is unlocked. Sorry I won't be able to respond to comments today I have an extremely busy day ahead but I appreciate the messages support and feedback.

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Considering only a little over 1,000 Players have access to #E2V1 so far & we released the first part of #RT9 around 2am AEST when 40% of our most active Player base were sleeping, and on a Monday morning no less, the stats were surprising🌏✌️

Given the time of release & that only about 150 Players have updated to #RT9 so far, peak concurrent #Players of 64 from 150 is a nice ratio. I realise these are small numbers right now given the limited access people have to #E2V1, but these type of stats give us insights into what #Players spend time on in the platform & how popular a feature is or isn't - so I just wanted to say thank you to our badge holders & testers for helping us get these insights, it's super useful!

One other really nice stat I noticed is the 70h spent inside E2V1 free flight mode! This is almost certainly directly related to the new Global Locations update, quietly one of my favourite additions in #RT9 & something we implemented about 2 months ago shortly after the #RT8 release. It's really cool to confirm #Players have also enjoyed it so far! It's definitely nice to be able to identify places more easily inside #E2V1! For those interested, this update was implemented as a prerequisite for the #EcoSim & for some other upcoming location based features we have in the pipeline.

I would also like to share the below response I commented on Discord earlier today. The points are focused on providing insight to some of the early feedback & conversations #Players have had on #Raiding so far:
----
Hey guys. The article will provide a significant amount of extra details around the Command Deck, Raiding, Stalls and all of the other updates. Reading through some of the comments here there are a few things I will point out to make it a little clearer before the article drops:

In response to no quit button once you commit to Piloting in a raid

1⃣ You are flying another Player's Cydroid, a Player who has either Built and Powered their Cydroid using their own Essence, or paid for it via the MarketPlace (and I should also add spent their time setting up raids, targeting properties and the entire flow associated with that).

And they are letting you fly it as a Pilot who has committed to ensuring that the Cydroid you are flying gets as much E-ther on the property as possible in return for your opportunity to also earn E-ther as a free to play Player and to Rank up.

That is the reasoning behind there being no quit button, it is intentional. The Raid ends when there is no more E-ther left on the field or you get knocked out.

In response to Piloted raid window being set to 20 mins

2⃣ The majority of the games do not last anywhere close to 20 minutes, especially when you focus on upgrading particle collection and/or streak perks as I mentioned in my stream, and as some other Players have figured out.

The initial 0.01 E-ther per particle quickly becomes 0.05 per particle with a few PERK upgrades and you're immediately collecting 5x faster than a Rookie and can also be increased further.

In response to games not always having other Pilots in them.

3⃣ The #RT9 build has become available to download for around 1,000 Players, the pre-existing testers and badge holders. There are ways for you to play multiplayer by forming squads, targeting other pilots via perks or inviting other pilots to target you via COME GET ME! The reality is with such a small group of Players currently having access and over 50,000 conflicts per day, especially raids coming in bursts based on conflicts arising, there is a smaller chance you will randomly come across other pilots.

You will mostly fly solo if you do not form squads or use perks. Having said that, I did watch a stream where some pilots were matching into the same raid without any perks or squads which was cool.

Pointing out solo flights also serve a purpose and provide opportunity

4⃣ It can also be beneficial flying solo if you just want to focus on ranking up and collecting E-ther. In the future there will be other items you can get via playing Raids, but I am delaying those until closer to public release to give everyone fairer access. For now the main focus is testing the systems, and also having a little fun

----

For such an extensive update spanning across numerous new systems & without any server downtime, the #RT9 rollout has run relatively smoothly so far. We will be focusing on fixing a few bugs before releasing 0.6.9.1, then once that is stable Holder of Lands badge holders will also get access.

Really excited to continue releasing access to #E2V1 as we roll out more features, such as #Hordes, initial phase of the #EcoSim & #minigames, plus a few other things, leading up to the public release which I am hoping will be later this year IF we manage to roll out the features I'd like to have live before that public release milestone.

Either way, the bottom line is we will continue adding more to do inside #E2V1 while continuing to bridge the gaps between the website & the 3D earth as things progress.

First look at #Earth2 Command Deck #RT9 Part 1.

https://t.co/2BMPWYHTkW

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Something old & something new. Looking forward to getting Part 1 of #RT9 live🌏✌️

Irrespective of which part relates to the old or the new, #RT9 will introduce a variety of new things to do inside #E2V1.

Appreciate how patient everyone has been with this upcoming release. We have spent a lot of time building core foundations for #E2V1 over the past number of years, including past months deploying & testing systems since the #PreAlpha was released last year. After all the hard work it feels rewarding to now be building & playing some long planned designs that will now work in with & sit on top of those core foundations.

This Reality Thread is quite extensive & complex which is why it has taken a little longer than expected, but I understand it can be difficult to wait, so posting this clip as a little hint, because I know how much some in our community hate to speculate.

Playing very carefully because if you miss one ..

One of the more amusing bugs we came across while testing the beach ball avatar transform feature for #RT8

It was fixed but also wouldn't complain if it popped up again lol..🌎✌️

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

#RealityThread8 is incoming on #Earth2! Another major #E2V1 Pre-Alpha release packed with new systems, mechanics plus lots of hidden details packed into the article🌍✌️

👉https://t.co/ClhNjD9DTO

The past 4 months inside #Earth2 have been the most productive period we have ever had in terms of actual product outcome & systems making their way live into #E2V1. System after system, feature after feature, foundations turning into actual playable functionality & you are helping us keep up the momentum so thank you for your support🙏

I understand some would prefer more frequent official articles or smaller update posts along the way, but the results really do speak for themselves. If you look at everything included in RT8, we could have easily split this mammoth article into published posts every couple of days or weekly articles over the past 2 months. However, constantly preparing media, technical reports from devs, posts & announcements takes valuable time away from development, testing & implementation, so our current focus is delivering these larger Reality Threads packed with meaningful, tangible progress every 2-3 months or less.

No hype.

No announcements for announcements.

Just real systems, real gameplay and real progress.

The pace of tangible development progress inside #E2V1 right now is the strongest it has ever been.

While there are a number of foundational features inside #RealityThread8, one thing to pay close attention to is the introduction of global multiplayer ball physics. On the surface you might see a beach ball.. but underneath it is a very important foundational system for #Earth2 long term.

This is not about a beach ball specifically, it is about synchronised global multiplayer physics operating inside a persistent 510,072,000km² world.

Many games spend years refining ball physics alone inside very small contained environments & still can't get it right, so the fact our team is already achieving acceptable multiplayer physics interactions inside something the size of #E2V1 at such an early stage is honestly a very exciting milestone for us internally.

During internal testing we had team members running #E2V1 from Europe, Asia, Australia & South America in a single session, with between roughly 150-300 ping & the experience was still surprisingly playable (considering the sheer scale of #E2V1 & complexity involved).

Keep in mind, lower ping will always provide the best experience when interacting with the beach ball, but this system opens the door to an enormous amount of future possibilities. Just because we're using a beach ball now does not mean it's always going to be a beach ball - the same foundation can be applied any type of ball or spherical object, with adjusted physics, or any size, which could be used for any number of experiences, mini-games, activities & more.

A lot of #E2V1 development is about this type of thing right now. Establishing long term foundational systems that will become part of the platform long term & continue stacking them on top of one another release after release & I am trying to build & release it a way that gives our #Players / testers something extra to do as these pivotal systems come online.

Here is a summary of feature releases inside #RT8, but be sure to read the article for full details as it contains a lot more information than what is summarised here:

🌱 Growing a Garden
🍳 Kitchens & Advanced Recipes
🏖️ Global Scale Multiplayer Beach Balls with full Environmental Physics
🧟 Hordes Scanner
📡 My Property Scanner
📜 In-World Quest Creation
🎒 Superior Backpack
💧 Water Bottle & Survival Improvements
⚛️ Gaia Pulse Reactor
⚡ Massive Performance & UI/UX Improvements
🎭 Character & Multiplayer Optimisation

Everything is coming together, step by step.

As always, thank you to everyone continuing to support #Earth2 & #E2V1 as we keep building. The ongoing support, patience & belief from many members of the community genuinely allows us to continue pushing forward, expanding the team’s efforts & focusing on long term development properly.

This article is being posted a little in advance so Players can wrap their heads around some of the new features & updates, but RT8 is expected to be rolled out in the next 72 hours.

IMPORTANT: RT8 will be another large & complicated Reality Thread release with many interconnected systems going live simultaneously, so please allow the team some breathing room if unexpected issues appear after deployment. These are exactly the types of complex systems that require real world testing at scale & we will continue refining them as we move forward.

If any major issues arise our team has always fixed them quickly in the past, so just give them space please.

Honestly the past few months have been extremely intense, but I can't wait to see #Players enjoying the expanded utility on their properties, growing gardens, harvesting, cooking & not just for the sake of it like in many games, but for actual long term purpose inside #E2V1 leading into #Hordes, #Animals, the #EcoSim & much more!

It makes it all the more worth the while.

Also keen to see #Players kicking around some beach balls - I know we have had fun mucking around with it during QA tests with the team - just remember the lower the ping you have the better experience you'll get! Am planning to build a lot on top of this feature!

Earth 2 gives you the map we already live on.
Most open worlds just give you one someone designed.

Same ridgelines, same elevations, just rendered inside a 1:1 scale digital Earth covering the full 510,072,000 km².

Here's an in-game clip flying over the actual Himalayas.
The glider is a real in-game item. The footage is in-engine.

Your hometown is in there too, exactly where it should be.

Still pre-alpha, but it's been online and playable for 100+ days straight. Come find your spot. https://t.co/Rg01vPkvPB

[CARL- Earth2 Epic Contributor, Sovereign of Earth @E2CARL1]

Earth2 is not just a game or a map service. It is arguably the world’s largest digital globe, and a 3D game world where players can actually explore and play. 1:1 scale.

A world where you can walk, look around, and experience real locations in a playable 3D environment.

From space to a specific region, and all the way down to your own neighborhood, smoothly zooming in without a single loading screen.

It may look natural at first glance, but implementing this seamlessly is actually a highly challenging piece of technology.

It is still a work in progress, but this seamless transition from space, to Earth, to cities, and down to familiar places is one of the most impressive strengths of Earth2.

In just over 24hrs since #Earth2 Reality Thread 7 went live on #E2V1, our team has been monitoring, fixed a number of issues & has released a new build - 0.4.7.1🌎✌️

For full details on this update please check out:

https://t.co/OeAWWsvr0C

1⃣ Quest completion system fixed for some of the Players who experienced issues completing the Quest when arriving at the Quest location.

2⃣ Discard item system optimised inside E2V1 & on BE - so improved performance when discarding items should reduce the lag time some were experiencing.

3⃣ E2V1 download issue via launcher for badge holders who got their first access in the RT7 release.

4⃣ Item and Recipe categories displaying correctly now.

5⃣ Auto Mentar Storage Chip equip for Mentar Storage Chip quests meaning Players will not have to equip themselves, system will automate it. A concept I want to play more with long term with the Quest system.

There are more details in the article but proud of the team for knuckling down & hustling to get all the above fixes out in just over 24 hours since the official #RT7 release!

We will continue to monitor & improve as we work toward the next major release on this massive 510,072,000 km2 digital planet - Earth 2!

#Earth2 Reality Thread 7 is incoming! Another major #E2V1 Pre-Alpha release so be sure to check out the full article to get the latest & understand why we have been so busy the past 2 months🌍✌️

👉https://t.co/hO3oVDko9c

As I have said, if we are quiet then we are busy building! A huge amount of updates packed into this release including a fully fledged global questing system, cosmetic skins, multiple new Character devices, new $ESS burn mechanics & utility, new badge access & much more in addition to time consuming improvements on the #E2V1 Global Building System!

Our #E2V1 releases are our progress. No hype - just releases & getting the foundations for #Earth2 right.

Every Reality Thread brings #Earth2 closer to its long term vision, system on system, feature on feature. One foot after the other. Expanding utility & purpose for land, Essence & other digital items inside #Earth2!

On this occasion we are releasing the article in advance so Players have some time to review their existing Quests. As a courtesy, our team has already cleared & auto refunded all $E Quests and also cleared all Quests created before the storage space check systems were deployed, but we still urge Players to check any remaining active Quests before RT7 drops, as when it drops, Quests will be open for completion inside #E2V1.

As always, this will be a major release with a lot of large, complicated new systems being deployed, so there is always a chance things can go wrong - therefore if something does go wrong please give the team some breathing room & time to get things right! Once this release is fairly stable we will be pushing forward on the next one.

Can't wait to see some of the skins running around inside #E2V1 & Questers competing for the win!

#E2V1 0.3.6.2 is currently deploying. It include new improvements to the global water interactive system which should resolve issues Players experienced after instant teleportation to any location on Earth🌍✌️

https://t.co/5w3JTdxf9M

We also implemented numerous updates to a number of core inventory & item management systems in anticipation of Reality Thread 7, but also to fix some remaining issues since Reality Thread 6 & to ensure it is more robust for long term development.

We have been working on the 0.3.6.2 updates while also focusing on Reality Thread 7 features.

Please check the article above for further details, but the main updates in this version are:

1⃣ An additional fix release for water detection after teleporting, along with fixes for additional water detection issues.

2⃣ Fixed an issue that caused crafting recipes to fail sometimes.

3⃣ Fix #2 above resulted in a further rework of most existing Character systems. These changes improve overall system reliability and also update systems in preparation for Reality Thread 7.

4⃣ An additional fix applied to the invisible leg issue affecting some Characters.

5⃣ Inventory logic adjusted so:

• LMB moves a single item
• RMB moves all items

This is now universal across all systems and applies when swapping items between Inventory, Foraging, Crafting and Mentar Storage.

6⃣ Action Bar “Use Item” logic updated to improve syncing with backend services. Players may notice a small delay between item usage. This delay is expected for now and will be refined further as part of a UX improvement pass.

7⃣ Added the ability to manually resync Character Inventory. This is not required during normal play as syncing occurs automatically, but the manual option exists for cases where unexpected item display behaviour occurs, allowing Players to attempt resolution themselves.

8⃣ Fixed several spatial sound effect (SFX) issues.

9⃣ Additional bug fixes and general improvements.

The global water system is very complicated & the updates to the core inventory systems are not trivial, so there may be issues QA has missed over the past 2 weeks of testing, so as always please be patient with the team, report any problems & we will monitor the release closely & fix any issues that may arise.

Happy Festive Season everyone... Was just bored and decided to solve a minor issue that fellow E2V1 pioneers usually face; Not knowing what time it is in a certain location in E2V1 without having to open the location in E2V1 and checking. Now you can plan your meetups in locations where there is daylight or night, all up to you... Just search and find, without needing to have your PC open. Or just use it on your phone while you decide which place to teleport to in E2V1. 😁 #earth2 #earth2io #earthie

Just over 2 weeks since Reality Thread 5 release, did not take a single day off during the break but instead focused on getting #RT6 out as quickly as possible with some of the key team members who worked through with me🙏

There is a lot packed into this release, more than I had expected, but as always it's rewarding to see it go live! I get excited every time we release a Reality Thread - such a good feeling!

Remember these releases are typically spread across E2V1, multiplayer, API & BE systems being deployed without any downtime, so please give the team space if any issues arise!

🕺New emotes & an updated emote wheel UI

🌍Global Property Sync system overhaul for faster feet on ground

🎖️Continued Badge Holder access expansion

Hope everyone enjoys the updates! As always we will monitor & fix any urgent issues that arise.

Just be aware that some of the new recipes may appear progressively over the next few hours as we gradually release them, so if you're not sure how to craft something, it may be because we have not released the recipe yet.
