AltMeta Class Beta

The Metaverse Council (MVC) takes great pleasure in announcing the Beta of Kryo’s new AltMeta. The new AltMeta implements Class Rankings, Data Charts and provides a whole new way of looking at the Metaverse.

The usual disclaimers apply. The AltMeta is Kryo’s, solely owned, personal project that is neither endorsed or supported by Stardock in any way. The primary participation of the MVC in this process has been to snipe from the sidelines and complain about how long it’s been taking, however, through no fault of our own an occasional good idea may have inadvertently been supplied by the MVC, to which the MVC and it’s individual members retain no right. No warranties expressed or implied. Your mileage may vary. This offer not valid with any other coupon. Check your local listings. Management reserves the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value.

All joking aside, I want to stress that this is preliminary and subject to change but most of the anticipated changes are complete and functional. There may be changes desired by the community and we are still open to suggestion. There may also be issues uncovered by it's wider usage. These are to be expected and will be dealt with as well. Please keep in mind that this is a Beta and problems are bound to occur. Also keep in mind that Kryo will provide support but this is a part time project and while his support may at times be immediate, at other times it may lag due to real work or real life. Certainly post any problems with the new AltMeta either here or in the Metaverse Forum at the Core but please be patient, all issues will be addressed sooner or later.

There is a fair amount of additional explanation that goes along with this. In the interests of keeping this post as short as reasonably possible I’ve included links to a minimal subset of supporting information. It will certainly reduce the number of questions and answers required if people follow these links and read the information therein. I also want to point out that some of the information in these links is as preliminary as the AltMeta Classes themselves (or even more so) and your comments and opinions on these explanations are welcomed as well.

So without further ado here is the AltMeta Class Beta.

One final note about the AltMeta is that for technical reasons only characters that are in an empire that’s in one of the top 100 official metaverse empires are included in the AltMeta. Most current unaligned players that wish to participate could simply form their own empire of one. Currently to be in the top 100 metaverse empires requires a little over 31K.
