Welcome back. This update implements a significant change in our mapping systems in terms of the size of our "tiles" along with other very large systematic additions and changes.

Change Log

• Moved to new Character system:
  • Added Character select screen as part of login process.
  • All players can now have up to 3 characters instead of being locked to a single character for their Apple ID.
  • Players can now delete characters from the character select screen.
  • When logging in via auto session, the last character played will be selected and will log in automatically
• Added Friend System:
  • You can access the new system via the Friends Button found at the top left of the Character Panel.
  • You can add friends by entering their username
  • Invites are sent and the other player is notified of the invitation to become friends.
  • Friends can see each other on the world map when both players are playing at the same time.
  • Privacy settings can be found in the friends menu. Turning off visibility means you can't see other friends on the map, and they can't see you.
• Added Bronze Axe
  • Requires at least level 10 with the Carpenter to unlock (temporary system).
• Added Willow Trees
  • Requires Bronze Axe
  • Drops Willow Logs
• Significant changes have been made to the world map, including size, zoom and interactions:
  • Changed tile size to be significantly smaller than previously (4295 million tiles ⇒ 68.7 billion tiles).
  • Increased model size of various POIs, Hub, and Entities.
  • Changed interaction distances for various map objects:
    • Hub - down to 50m.
    • POIs - down to 25m.
    • Entities - down to 25m.
  • Increased number of tiles to load around the player. The minimum required to load is now 39 (up from 25).
  • Changed look of road to be less jagged and include a small outline around the road. We are still planning to (and have started) writing a complete overhaul of our road rendering technology however this is still many months from completion.
• Fixed further timezone issues with crafting items.
