Thanks Jolly Roger! Without locking anything in too rigidly just yet and keeping a few surprises aside for later, the general direction looks something like this: 1. Full global Hordes system (huge release) 2. Initial shopping system (i.e in game shops Players can place on their properties to sell items) 3. Raw material generation via Weaver (Eco Sim OUs) 4. This will lead to tech style buildings we've displayed in the past - including storage buildings. Would be great to get building blocks live too. 5. Initial app store app release 6. A number of early property based mini-games (I needed Hordes live first before the mini-game systems come online, as Blue Energy from Hordes is required for it). 7. Wingsuit (which also needed Hordes due to blue energy) 8. Some other cool methods of transportation not publicly revealed yet also needed blue energy 9. Global gameplay system using resources from EcoSim (not revealing this just yet but I am very much looking forward to this one as with a number of the other features above) There are a few other things not in the list which I plan to release in upcoming RTs, so won't take long to find out about those, and I have probably missed something as I don't have notes in front of me so just going by memory, but above is a general indication of what I'd like to get live if we continue getting enough support to keep expanding the team etc.

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. #Earth2 #OpenWorlds #E2V1 $ESS #PlayerDriven #RT9 #Raiding #Cydroids #CommandDeck

First look at #Earth2 Command Deck #RT9 Part 1. teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/1kJzDPlOM…

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 .. Coming #shoon #Earth2 #PlayerDriven #E2V1 #Metaverse #OpenWorld #WorldswithinaWorld #Part1mightnotonlybeashop $ESS
