The players on the forums had originally paid little attention to the High Martial Descent event announcement.
After all, an event announcement for this kind of game had nothing whatsoever to do with players who could not enter the game.
They could only watch helplessly as those detestable veteran players made a killing in the game. Not only did they have weapons and equipment now, they even had houses of their own. It was enough to drive people mad with envy.
So aside from the players who could enter the game, nobody else cared about this sort of event announcement.
But after taking a closer look at the event details, every last one of them was stunned.
"What's going on here?!"
"Setting aside city exploration for unlocking a new map, what the hell is this wilderness exploration permission? Aren't they in closed beta?"
"Holy crap! This game has gone insane! You can freely explore within a hundred-kilometer radius! How huge is this game planning to make its map?"
"Isn't this supposed to be a game where you can freely dig holes?"
"A hundred-kilometer radius! Just exploring the newbie village alone feels like it could keep me playing for at least a year."
In the age of virtual games, the maps in virtual games were already enormous. An NPC city, for instance, generally covered a radius of several kilometers and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. The distance between one city and another was usually only twenty or thirty kilometers, requiring players two or three hours of running.
But High Martial Descent was something else entirely. It was only a newbie village, yet players were directly allowed to explore within a hundred-kilometer radius. No one even dared imagine how vast the map of High Martial Descent truly was.
