World of Ether is fully live! Play now: worldofether.com

We’ve had a blast watching everybody play Beta so far, and we couldn’t be more thankful for all the participation, feedback, and compliments we’ve been receiving!

We especially want to thank everybody for their patience while we work through issues and make updates. We had a lot more people jump in than expected, and it was great to see so many people coming together in the WoE Discord and Telegram.

Currently the Beta is in Maintenance mode and will be resuming soon.

The Rewards

The Etherian Discovery contest was a big success, and we’re excited to announce that we will soon be doing another during the Beta!

First thing’s first though, if you were a winner in this contest, you’ll be receiving your ETH before the new one is announced.

We had a lot of fun seeing players discover Etherians, especially watching the race to discover the Etherian #40, Ashbringer. Here are some stats and congratulations about the contest:

  • There were thousands of Etherians hatched among everybody.
  • Crystal usage was very high. We’re excited to see what it looks like on Mainnet.
  • Congratulations to Gambit for discovering the Legendary and winning the $5,000 Grand Prize!
  • Congratulations to Donut Fan for discovering the most Etherians. We were all dumbfounded watching you go.
  • Congratulations to all of our winners — we can’t wait to do it again.

Making Updates

When the next iteration of Beta is deployed, players should expect to see several updates.

Battles will be re-implemented with new functionality, there will be UI/UX improvements on both desktop and mobile, and we’ll be taking into consideration the feedback we’ve been receiving.

We’ll continue using the #development-updates channel of Discord to list some of these updates, and users can also suggest more updates and feature requests in this form.

Though Beta isn’t open while we make these updates, you can relive some of its excitement with the Soundtrack which is now on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and many other platforms:

Crystals

We’ll also be launching the sale of Crystals, the ERC20 in-game power ups which were so widely used during Beta.

Details on launch date to be coming soon…

For more on Crystals, we have an extensive guide here.

Post Beta

Post Beta, we’ll be heading into Mainnet launch.

Progress will not carry over from Beta and everybody will start fresh, only having their presale Eggs and presale Crystals.

We’ll be announcing a few more features, and our plans for future improvements. We’ll implement translations in nine languages, and we’ll be announcing a contest which is even bigger than the one we just had. We have a lot planned.

We’re going to make sure everything is perfect for Mainnet. This Beta is helping us tremendously with that.
