Now that all I have to do is wait for the parts to be delivered, I should see if any interesting developments among the players have happened. It's been long enough for significant things to happen, guilds transferring over and powerbases to be secured.
The players that have left Empyrian are either a part of the major guilds in the gaming market or hardcore solo players. I head back into the apartment, and I make my way over to the computers. I look up information regarding players, and plenty of sites reporting on the subject pops up.
The Aeternus Universe's version of the internet is amazing, to say the least. I click on the first link and begin to read through the information and memorize it. I'm able to read much faster. All I have to do is scroll down the page.
Once the words are glanced over by my eyes, my mind does the rest of the work. Assembling it and storing it within the span of a second. The information I've read on this site is there is a lot of player activity on a few of the main chain worlds. It'd make sense that the biggest and richest guilds set up shop on those worlds.
This is one galaxy in a universe too. Impyra is large enough to go unexplored by the players for millions of years. Only parts of the Impyra galaxy have been explored. There is much to discover in this single galaxy too.
Not to mention finding the galaxy my homeworld resides in. I exit this site and click on the next one below it. I do the same for this site, and it's mostly the same thing as the first sight, the only difference being Empyrian has had an economic boom thanks to the players.
With so many of us grinding for credits and exp. It's going to affect the economy.
It won't last forever, though, and it'll only be until the majority of the player population has left Empyrian. All of us are unlikely to return to Empyrian, and I can confidently say the same.
The only reason I'd come back here after I leave is for Pleiknor and Meiklare. They've become pretty good friends and have helped me a lot. I wouldn't have accomplished this much so fast without their resources.
While I'd get to this point, it might've taken a bit longer than I'd like it to. With their workshop and connections, it's been easy.
That worries me, it's been very easy for me to progress and improve my situation in The Aeternus Universe, but things don't stay the same forever.
I'm expecting an increase in individual difficulty for me once I'm no longer in the Empyrian system. Not to mention I haven't built a mech suit yet, and I have so many designs. All of them are one of a kind, and I plan on making the best one after my credits get to a healthy level again.
Starship construction isn't cheap, especially on an individual scale. It cost heaps of credits to fund my own projects.
I exit this site and go to the next one. It's the same reports and I'm not going to bother to look anywhere else. I've learned some important things today.
The major guilds have left Empyrian and have made it to a main chain world. Having the funds of an entire guild working together will allow the ones at the main chain worlds to set up shop.
It'll be expensive, and they'll feel the burn. In the long run, though, it'll be worth it. I turn off the computer and lean back in my chair. Quickly going through all the information that I've gained.
Nothing is out of my expectations for where the player's base is at. The only thing that might stand out is how fast they're doing it, but when gamers set their minds to something.
They get it done and done quickly. I bet many players have begun to discover mentors and the reputation system. Along with the ability to create and sell products in The Aeternus Universe.
The Aeternus Universe is nearing the top of the VRMMORPG's and nothing is going to stop. Gaia's Awakening gave me the life I currently have, and I'll be sad to see it go. However, bittersweet things are great in life.
