Xu Zhi had only been playing around when he started this little trial run, but who knew that there were so many talented people on the internet? There was even a master ga designer with an amazing imagination.
Its such a waste that you didnt beco a designer in a ga company with that kind of talent.
After thinking for a mont, Xu Zhi decided to proceed according to Learning dicines plans. After all, the workload was quite small, and he would only have to do two things:
One, create a way for people to login.
He had to create a ga character capable of letting hundreds of people log in one after another.
Any programr would be able to solve this simple problem, let alone the Hive Minds advanced AI, whose original functions were computation and programming.
Two, adjust the sandboxs excessively fast ti flow.
It was fine for a small number of people to experience a hundred years in a day, but that was too much for the general public. Who knew what kind of problem would crop up down the line?
Perhaps, I should reduce it by a hundred tis, from a hundred years to a day to a year to a day.
Xu Zhi readjusted the ti flow. A minute outside will be equivalent to 6 hours inside the ga But 6 hours of gaming each day is still too much.
Then, hell have to limit each persons daily login ti to 30 seconds, the equivalent of 3 hours in-ga.
Its still a miraculous level of technology. This should be enough. Xu Zhi thought.
Countless people will take turns logging in for 30 seconds. This should be enough to maintain a 24hrs/day online presence.
As for how theyll login, Ill leave it as a quickdraw battle like before. Whoever's faster will get to login for 30 seconds, then logout to make room for the next player
Therell be 500 characters, and if they cant get one, then theyll just have to try for another.
But this will cause problems with imrsion. Xu Zhi frowned. If people can only randomly login as random characters, then
Although he hadnt played many MMOs, he still understood that net addicts wouldnt truly get engaged and put in their 110% to level up a character they did not own.
Xu Zhi pondered this for a while, and ca up with a solution. Then, after so careful examination, he started drafting an Update Announcent, cross-checked it, then posted it on the net.
[Spore Evolutions Official Update 0.4 is now Online.]
Thank you for your continued support of this ga!
With this update, The Magic Community is now open to all players as a place for gaming and socialization.
We will be moving from small-scale internal tests to the official Open Beta.
***
As always, the mont they received this news, the entire forum was stirred into frenzy. After 3 internal tests, the Beta was finally open to the general public.
Im weeping with joy. Ive been following its developnt all this ti, and now, the Beta is finally open to all players."
Unlike previous tests with very few slots, you wont have to write harcore research papers to join.
To the above poster, this affiliated area is only a community for people to cultivate their body and mind. If you want to enter the official ga map, and enter the multiverse after starting from a spore youll still have to write a research paper.
Everyone was eagerly discussing what kind of major impact this update would cause in the future. So even said that this was all part of the Developers plan.
Spore Evolution was where people lost hair as they toiled away in their studies, a place where people gained power from learning.
And The Magic Community was where they went to relax. There were ditation rooms, and you could regain your lost hair through fun gas and socialization.
This flexible setup allowed for both rest and study. It was a match made in heaven.

As they discussed, the content of the update was also posted.
Spore Evolutions 0.4 Update was as follows:
1. Based on player feedback, the developnt team had held a eting, and decided to change The Magic Sims na to The Magic Community.
2. Gaming should be done moderately in order to maintain your health.
This ga will limit each persons daily login ti to 30 seconds, the equivalent of 3 hours in the ga.
3. This ga will be a Quickdraw Battle where players compete to login as one of 500 characters.
4. This ga will have a monthly VIP subscription of 45 dollars.
Ordinary non-VIP players are visitors who must compete to login randomly as 1 of 500 characters.
VIP Players will be able to choose the Set Login Mode and beco a tenant player of 1 of 500 characters. 30 seconds will be reserved for you daily, and you wont have to compete to login.
5. Each character can only have 1000 tenants.
The VIP Reservation function is now available for those who want to beco a tenant of their favorite character.
(This ga has a high degree of freedom, and the players are free to explore and find better ways to enjoy themselves, but the developers will have the final say in everything.)

There was a website link at the end of the update log. After clicking on it, you could reserve a VIP slot for one of 500 characters.
Behind each of the 500 characters was the following line: Current number of players for this character: 0/1000.
Hurry and grab a slot! Its ti to show-off our hand-speed again!
Sh*t! Uchiha Itachi is mine! Dont you dare take him!
WTF! How are you bastards so fast? Sakura was gone in an instant, do I have no choice but to select Hinata?
Hurry up! Before even Hinata is gone! If we can only beco visitors, well have to compete to login everyday!
***
Everyone was in a frenzy. After all, a 45 dollars monthly subscription fee was nothing to them! The developers were too kind! For rich people, 45 dollars was far too cheap considering that theyd get an extra 3 hours to live each day. Theyd gladly pay more.
At this mont, Learning dicine was weeping before his computer screen. Could it be, that I wont be able to get the character Ive worked so hard to train? I spent 8 months on him!
He felt like slamming his head on a wall and killing himself.
But unexpectedly, when he clicked on the request button, this line appeared:
[As a Beta Tester whove trained for longer than 3 days, you will be prioritized when selecting a character for VIP privileges. Do you want to buy one now?]
Learning dicine was thrilled. It was as if the dawn had co after his darkest hour. The Beta Test had this kind of hidden bonus?
Xu Zhi smirked at this scene.
This was his reward for all the players who had worked hard, and diated longer than ordinary people. Hed reward them if they lasted longer than 3 days since he needed players like them, the more the better.
I finally have so money.
Xu Zhi looked at his account, which was protected by the Hive Mind. These P2W players spending ability couldn't be underestimated; in only a few minutes, he had gained over 90.000 dollars, and the amount was still rapidly increasing
