The Event I attended was the “Crazy Golf Leaderboard” it was (i believe, not entirely sure) a new development within and already realized/created environment. The event itself was a minigolf expansion.
Upon entering the world, you’re brought to a welcome area thats soccer themed which is kind of a disorienting experience when youre expecting golf, and one of the npc’s sends you on a wildgoose chase of events and shirt collecting around the stadium, i got incredibly sidetracked by that and forgot i was even there for minigolf. Eventually i did figure out where the map was and how to get to the minigolf area. But there was very little instruction that the map, was a map, and that it could transport you to where you need to go. As far as useability it’s incredibly low. You move at a snails pace through the area and it will make a laptop hot enough to fry an egg. It will take you five minutes to move from one space to another. The controls are a much much much worse version of minecraft, and the graphics are somehow worse too. Given my scope of people at this time, it’s a no on advertising ability. Unless you have a really nice pc, the longevity to exist in the world space is very low and due to the low rendering quality the execution of “transporting someone to a space right from their home” is a huge stretch at this point in time. In its current stage it doesnt fulfill an aspect of life4 or marketplace that doesn’t already exit and do it better. So with that said I dont think the metaverse has found a voice enough to be on radar at this time.
