Virtual Gaming's Insider Look: Rebirth+ Feature – Exploration
Welcome back to another issue on Rebirth+! We'll be going over the basic feature in every MMO to this day - Exploration.
It's been 5 days since the release of the game. There is little news from the first wave of players. I did some digging myself and found hardly any updates out there for us poor normal folks. Not to worry! I took myself over to GenZero's main office and scheduled a meeting to further discuss the game. They replied rather quickly so let's continue.
Developers at GenZero didn't want to release too much information so they decided to go over how exploration works in Rebirth+. I excitedly took out my pen and notebook so I could get all the accurate information for you guys.
Rebirth+ is an open world, filled with nature much like our own. There's mountains, lakes, rivers, plains, oceans, volcanoes. There are a lot of different places to explore. With the details put into the game, one only wonders what's out there. Please have a look below on the developer responses to my questions:
What kind of world is in Rebirth+?
Developer: Well, we can't really say too much, as you know. But the world is a lot like Earth with diversity and tons of variety of things to find. I really like the ocean best, but I can't tell you more on that, sorry.
Can you tell us about the first few hours a player will experience in the game?
Developer: A player creates their character and populates into the world accordingly.
That's really vague. Can you give us more data? For example, if I was to log into the game and want to find my friend, how do I do that?
Developer: You can go to the Rebirth+ game website and create a friend's list before hand, which will become available as you enter the game. If you are already in game, you can still go back and edit this list from the website using your own personal login. This will also allow parties to be created as soon as you start playing.

Is there a reason this function exists outside the game?
Developer: Yes. The world(Rebirth+) is completely open. It's currently three times the size of Earth. You could spend a lifetime exploring and never discover all the things out there. To be more specific, players are spawned into the world using their real-time location. Based on local information you give us when you register the player is populated roughly within the same general area as others with the same information.
Meaning if you run into another player, they'll be from the same country, at least?
Developer: Yes, until players head elsewhere. This was for convenience on the player's side. We didn't want to have players quit because they had to learn a new language to speak with their party members.
Next Question! How many starter cities are there and what are they named?
Developer: There are no starter cities. We leave naming up to the players.
Seriously? How are players supposed to quest? And gear? What about repairing items??
Developer: I can't answer all of those. I can just say that everything is up to the players. Also, there are quests in game, but they're more rare than common. Specific tasks have to be done to unlock quests. The quests are littered through the world so the more one explores, the higher chance they can run into a quest.
Then how can players level?
Developer: There is experience in the game. How they get the experience is up to them.
GenZero didn't really think this through, did they?
Developer: Do give us some credit. The game was developed with the world's latest technology. The same system for the game is being used by scientists the world around. We thought about it and followed through on our gut instincts. Let's get back to topic, please.

Then, the main question for today. What are some of the countries, or name of the continents? Are there any major landmarks?
Developer: As I said before, we leave the naming up to the players. There are no names for anything but what the players decide. The exploration system handles that. If a player walks into a location and is the first to discover it, plus meeting some requirements, they can name it. As of just before this meeting, I confirmed there to be 15 new locations named. Once the game is open to the rest of the world, all basic map information will be tracked and relayed to a model anyone can access on our main website.
What are the requirements?
Developer: I'm running out of time for this interview, let's make this the last question. Requirements for naming a location can very. You can stay there awhile and get to name it. You can establish a base or colony and name it. Or you can get a bird's eye view and get to name it. As long as you somehow become a 'founder', you can name it.
Above is the last answer before wrapping up this latest session. If anyone has any more questions, send them to me and I'll see if I can't get them answered!
