Our first chapter begins at spawn: a sheltered courtyard, a frozen waterway and a path towards the open world.
We are exploring a palette of snow, pale stone and blue ice. The goal is a place that feels calm on arrival and easy to navigate, with landmarks you can recognise from a distance.
Next: refine paths, sightlines and the first survival exit.
Good survival should give you freedom without making you worry about your builds.
Land protection and player trading are at the centre of our systems plan. We are working through claim boundaries, permissions and the new-player experience before opening them to a wider test.
Next: test claim permissions and trading edge cases.
The first few minutes on a server matter. We want ours to feel welcoming, clear and fair.
We are drafting rules around respect, fair play and build protection. The player guide will be our home for connection requirements and opening information as they become ready.
Next: refine the guide and prepare the testing checklist.
