Hey there everyone! Caspian just created a large blog about the details that SBS will be working on with the 0.40 launch. After they've successfully tested the 0.30 version he said they have got it to where they can get in as many as 2,500 people walking around in the world, checking their inventory and communicating
In the 0.40 work he's laid out a pretty big list of objectives they have in what will be their biggest work yet
Once done with this work they are looking to get into Map Voting for each of the servers and also mentioned that during a 6 week event from July/Aug that the community will be able to shape some of the history of Elyria going back to 600 years before launch!
The writeup has a lot of great info in it in regards to the Skills that will be available too!

Gut Out!
What, me worry?
It's revived little bit of hope, but I'm still a bit skeptical these days

I'm going to say #4 is #3 (because server selection has already been done) and that #3 is #4 because, well, we already know Alpha 1 hasn't started yet
If my math is right that puts 0.30 at 3.5?
Pre-alpha with VoxElyria client: Spring 2018 (around april)
Alpha 1: Later during 2018

Edit to add: I just looked and a few weeks back I see Snipehunter saying:
Server selection is a piece that will have to happen before Expo, but I’m not sure where in the process it will come.
As far as I know it has not happened...

I've already created a custom surname and when doing so had to select a specific server. Not sure if that counts as "server selection" or not. That is what I considered to be Server Selection
The Domain/Settlement selection is the piece that has to wait for the actual world maps to be generated, and this is a piece of the 0.40 puzzle that is being worked on/created right now with the much anticipated Map Voting to follow (hopefully shortly) thereafter
He never once mentioned the term ElyriaMud or Vox client access nor is either term referenced in this latest update. I'm thinking they have dropped this idea and are going with a different approach.

Should he have skipped it? Sure. But he’s got too much pride to admit it was a wasteful concept.

"The goal of Release 0.3.0 was to have the platform at a point where we could get as many as 2,500 people walking around in the world, checking their inventory, equipment, and character sheets, and interacting with one another through communication. Mission accomplished; but walking and talking does not a game make!"

Also this is IMHO, all about creating hype for their upcoming 6 week sale event which will be woven into the whole “let the community shape some of the history of Elyria” stuff.

It's like I'm trying to go back and watch that old TV series but forgot what episode I left off on and inadvertently picked up 2 or 3 episodes later than I should have.
(Stuff in between is missing)
You're probably right, @Slapshot1188. Allowing the customers to write the backstory *will* make a good sale item. Whales with egos. What is this world coming to?
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
"How are you going to build a world this large, with a hundred thousands players, and all these never-before-seen features?!" The answer is SpatialOS.
SpatialOS will act as the fabric that our game is built on. It's the server technology that will allow us to support millions of entities in the world. Built first and foremost as a scalable, distributed operating system for games, SpatialOS means we don't have to spend time developing the things that generally take the most time when building a new MMO.
But as we know... SpatialOS is no longer part of CoE.

A. The Earth's core
B. The 11th dimension
C. The game?
My money is on their VoxElyria/ElyriaMUD. I'd also wager it's probably a small town given they are currently working on the world building engine that will create the actual land masses for each game server
