544 Version 1.0 Update Description (2/2)

”D*mn, I'm so far back in the queue?” Peasant didn't expect to be so far behind in the queue.

How long would he have to sit in the queue before he could play the game? Peasant felt hopeless.

Although the queue number was large, Peasant discovered that the change in the queue number declined rapidly.

The number five changed to a four. He estimated that it would take 20 minutes for him to enter the game. That was faster than he expected. Why did the gamers get offline so fast after the Public Beta?

Peasant was taken aback. He was contemplating whether he should wait for the game or take a look at the discussion forum. Anyway, he could still queue up while browsing the forum. The communication device in the gaming capsule shimmered. Peasant opened up the communication interface, and a chat box jumped out.

[Noon: Veteran Peasant, did you see the latest announcement? Oh my god, the game isn't following the norms. They updated the Upgrade Description after the Public Beta. Gamers have to queue up after their character perishes!]

Peasant was shocked, but he quickly replied.

[Why do gamers have to queue after death?]

A reply came back immediately.

[Noon: Like the description says—if you die, you will be placed in a queue. For more details, take a look at the game announcement. It's sick. There are way too many updates. Oh my god.]

Peasant didn't chat with Noon anymore and went to browse the game's updates.

There was a new announcement on the official website. Though the version was 1.0, there were more updates than the previous one. According to the official website, it was an addendum.

[Version 1.0 Update Addendum Description]

”Dear gamers, thank you for supporting our game. Within five minutes of the Public Beta, the servers breached 50 million active users, with millions of users in the queue.

Many gamers discovered that there were massive upgrades to the game and weren't used to the changes. To allow the gamers to get used to the upgrades, we have provided the Update Addendum Description.

No. 1: We have updated to a new UI that includes Chat, Grouping, Auction, Maps, Guild, Homeland, Area Reputation Points, and NPC Affinity.

Chat: Gamers don't need to shout at each other for communication. They can conduct private chats like old radio wave communication. We have also included Grouping, Guild, and Good Friends channels. We used up a lot of Mana to include these into the system. To elevate the gaming experience, the Mana usage is worthwhile. (Smile)

Grouping: As there are many gamers, during the grouping process, gamers may not be able to find their group members. To prevent such things from happening, we added the Grouping channel that allows gamers to find known or unknown gamers and their groups. The system can also allocate groupings without the gamers having to shout and recruit group members. We don't encourage gamers to shout and recruit members, especially in areas with many NPCs like Winterfell.

Auction: There will be prompting during the auction so that gamers can follow the prompts accordingly.

Maps: Gamers don't need to refer to road signs or get offline and browse the map on the discussion forum. Since the new system can locate every gamer and draw out detailed maps, the gamers can access the maps and check their locations and the surrounding areas. Unexplored areas will be covered with the fog of war.

Guild: We updated the Guild UI so the gamers can chat with Guild members in the Guild channel. The gamers can also use the UI to check the Guild's territory. The Guild Chairman and the management members can use the UI to construct related buildings and facilities like Furnaces, Carpenter Workshops, Cauldrons, and tables. All of these have to be approved by Lord Sherlock or Queen Victoria, and the fees must be paid in Magic Stones. After approval, there will be specialized NPCs constructing the buildings and facilities at the Guild territory. Don't hinder the construction carried out by the NPCs.

Homeland: Besides Guild territory, every gamer can have their own homeland. The gamers of Eternal Kingdom are no longer limited to 10 square meter areas. Each gamer can have up to 500 square meters, and it will require a one-time payment of Magic Stones. There will also be a monthly maintenance fee paid using Magic Stones and Reputation Points. For more details, please check inside the game.

For other UI related content, please check inside the game.

No. 2: We improved the Assistive Combat System.

According to the feedback regarding non-performing attributes of equipment and food BUFFs, we have made the appropriate adjustments. When gamers get food BUFFs that increase strength by 10%, the strength of the gamers will physically increase.

We have improved the experience of using long-range weapons. After training and paying a certain fee to increase long-range Weapon Level, long-range attacks will be more accurate. The accuracy applies to both friendlies and enemies.

No. 3: We updated the new Login System.

There are too many gamers logging in, so they have to be placed in a queue. To allow queuing gamers to log in as soon as possible, we have decided to impose more penalties on death.

If a gamer dies 10 times within an hour, the gamer is placed in a queue to enter the game. The gamers who were already placed in a queue will be given priority to enter the game.

No. 4: We updated the job scope of most of the NPCs.

The gamers are unable to obtain specialized services from NPCs like Simba and Mufasa. For example, the gamers are unable to purchase dessert from Mufasa or repair equipment with Simba. All these services will now be performed by gamers. Gamers can still improve equipment and purchase commercial goods.

No. 5: We updated the Guild Territory System.

The scale of a Guild can be expanded. With enough resources, a Guild can be upgraded to a Kingdom.

Firstly, the Guild has to obtain a territory that is located outside Eternal Kingdom or Victoria City and construct buildings on it. The territory won't be protected by Eternal Kingdom or Victoria City, so the Guild has to provide for its own protection.

The development of the territory depends on the decisions of the Guild. The recruitment of gamers and NPCs will be decided by the Guild members. Please don't forget to pay taxes. The Territory System will be described in detail in the next update.

No. 6: We have updated many rankings.

It includes:

[World's most powerful warriors rankings (Weapon Level ranking)]

[Richest gamers rankings (Magic Stones and gold coins ranking)]

[Most generous gamers rankings (Donation of Magic Stones to Lord Sherlock)]

[Teacher rankings (Teacher-Student Points ranking)]

And many other rankings. The gamers can check out the rankings inside the game.

There is other new content that is broken down into modules. The gamers can discover the new content on their own time.

Wishing all gamers a happy gaming experience, and see you soon!”
