Hey all!! We just finished up our very first hackmud season- season 0! Seasons are 2-month cycles of collaborative recruiting and training with rewards for player corporations which contribute to the effort. Every season ends with a 4xp event allowing players to overclock their contribution to the corps.share progress bar. (more info in the major update post)
We hit 10% on corps.share unlocking asset_class 0 and 1
asset_class 1 dropped some sweet k3ys (impossible-rarity combos, alch-able)
We saw ~1,250 unique logins: ~500 before the 4xp window (no season participation possible), ~500 during it and ~250 filtered out (pre kiddie pool / trade).
With only ~10% realizing, ~3,000,000 bits stayed unrealized. Ready to convert if those players log back in
After qubits dropped, Zez started advertising bitwashing in the kiddie_pool, chaos spiked with a spammer dubbed kiddie_pool_pooper, and then c00lestkats plus marto piled on with counter-spam until a treaty paused the noise. The truce is fragile: the pooper’s back, identity unknown, and there’s a 69BGC bounty for solid intel. Read the article in these screenshots, or run `informer.news {command: "read", story_id: "SMG31Y93A"}` in game.
The season has opened at 30%+ on corps.share due to returning players' existing realized bits.
Returning players who earned qubits and did not realize bits last season are donating them now, reaching account tier 1, and contributing to this season's percentage.
A handful of new corps formed and several climbed onto corps.top; recruiting players and soliciting donations, keeping pace with players who need help realizing their bits and keeping the percentage bar afloat.
We are currently in the trading window (first half of season) and players are creating corps and contributing to the share percentage to be able to exchange their share for hard assets
If the bar holds at this level into the next trading window, asset_class 3 unlocks: k3y_v2s of any rarity with any k3y values (including the rarest).
The community needs you: hop in, learn the basics, and contribute to the economy. Bring friends, start or join a corp, realize your bits, cash in for a hash or two, infiltrate, share intel, or just drop a meme. We’re excited to have you!
