CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 159: PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: MONSTER WORLD_2

"What are you talking about? Where’s the ultimate experience? Are you saying it’s the scramble for access? If you’re capable, just release the game for download, instead of doling out access like you’re feeding beggars, it’s disgusting."

"So, since you care so much about the players’ experience and feelings, when will access be fully open? Did you eat my access?"

However, the comments from the live stream viewers did not interrupt the Moon Eclipse Clan’s Governor No. 1’s speech.

After briefly introducing the original intention behind creating Dark Land, the Governor shifted the topic:

"Recently, there’s been widespread debate on the entire internet about whether there are two versions of Dark Land. Let me clarify the situation here."

Upon hearing this, the barrage in the live stream suddenly decreased.

Everyone was waiting for the Governor’s next words.

"The truth is, as the forum poster said, our Moon Eclipse Clan did indeed create two games. One of them is Dark Land, which many players have already experienced through official channels. This is the game we call a groundbreaking virtual game in our promotions, and it does not have any of the simplified or censored content problems mentioned in internet rumors."

"And the cracked version of Dark Land mentioned by the Human Race Ascension Forum user ’preschool director’ is actually our next generation game, still in beta testing and not yet publicly available. This game far surpasses Dark Land in both quality and realism, and internally, we call this game: Monster World."

"So there is only one Dark Land game, while the other game is Monster World, which hasn’t been publicly released yet."

The Governor’s explanation set off a firestorm in the live stream chat.

Comments and messages flooded in at a rate of millions per second, too fast to read the specific content.

"Damn, a higher-quality beta of the next-gen game, that’s insane. Why am I only hearing about this now? How do I get beta access?"

"Ugh, free beta testing while the official purchase is inferior. Damn you, Moon Eclipse Clan, why did I spend 128,000 for something of lesser quality? No wonder the forum poster exploded, I would, too. Actually, I already have. I demand my Dark Land access be converted to Monster World game access."

"Stupid Moon Eclipse Clan, pulling shady tricks, secretly releasing a beta version and distributing it via links, it’s disgusting. Even if it’s a beta, the access should have been openly available to players. Before this, we didn’t even know there was such a game. At the time, I was mocking the poster, thinking they were fabricating, but now you’re telling me it’s true."

"I’m so frustrated, good stuff given for free, while I pay for the inferior version. No wonder, the Upper Realm beings are so capricious."

"Just yesterday, I was ecstatic to finally snag a spot for this game round, and now you’re telling me this is just an interim version, and there’s something better? I’ll frickin’ punch the Moon."

In the face of aggressive comments flooding the live chat, the Governor remained calm and looked down at the reporters from various clans below:

"Do any of the journalist friends from the clans have any questions?"

A human journalist raised their hand at this point. After receiving a nod from the Governor, the female reporter stood up:

"Governor No. 1, hello, I would like to ask a question. The post describes, that the cracked version... in other words, Monster World has a perfect simulation of reality’s physics. Is this true?"

Faced with the inquiry, the Governor nodded:

"We are very proud to announce that Monster World has achieved near-real-world physical simulation. The modeling, environment, and physical feedback in the game adhere to the same laws as the real world. Every NPC, even the minor beasts in Monster World, possess AI intelligence that surpasses the core NPCs of Dark Land. You can even regard Monster World as a perfect virtual game, a game that won’t be surpassed for hundreds of years or even in the distant future."

"We believe that this game will provide players with an unprecedented immersive experience."

This statement sparked a renewed uproar on the internet, with players both thrilled and infuriated that the Moon Eclipse Clan kept such a gem hidden.

At this moment, Dark Land lost all its appeal.

They finally realized that what they saw as a groundbreaking game was merely a placeholder, and the Moon Eclipse Clan had a game far superior to Dark Land up their sleeves.

This drastic reversal was overwhelming, especially for players who had already secured access to Dark Land. It was akin to a betrayal by the Moon Eclipse Clan.

The human journalist continued their inquiry:

"Governor No. 1, could you take this opportunity to give a detailed introduction to Monster World?"

Facing the question, the Moon Eclipse Clan’s Governor No. 1 paused briefly and replied with a steady tone:

"Monster World is still in its beta phase. We will find an appropriate time to publicly disclose relevant content, but currently, there is nothing to announce. Specific details will be arranged according to the Star Network’s decision."

After the human journalist sat down, a reporter from the Breaking Clan raised their hand.

After being acknowledged by the Governor, the reporter stood up and asked:

"Governor No. 1, hello, I want to ask, is there a timeline for when Monster World will be fully released or a plan to allocate purchase access via official channels."

"This matter is tentative and awaits a specific response from the Star Network. I cannot answer now."

"There are online comments saying that Monster World consumes a significant amount of Moon Eclipse Clan’s information processing resources, which is causing the slow distribution of Dark Land access. Does this issue exist?"
