How to join the season

In order to spawn in the Season World and start playing there, you have to get access to this particular season. You can obtain Access Keys at these locations:

Access to Season 8 costs according to the following schedule:

  • 5 Access Keys - February 14

  • 4 Access Keys - March 1 (season start)

  • 3 Access Keys - March 15

  • 2 Access Keys - April 1

  • 1 Access Key - April 15

Season rules

All game mechanics are identical to the regular game, however, the world is generated in an unusual way. It is built in the form of a pyramid with a wide base at the bottom and narrowing towards the top. Players can spawn only in the bottom-level sectors. Season score points are earned by owning controllers in rooms, depending on the sector level:

  • Level 5 (N99-N81): 25 points per tick of each room controller ownership

  • Level 4 (N79-N61): 16 points per tick

  • Level 3 (N59-N41): 9 points per tick

  • Level 2 (N39-N21): 4 points per tick

  • Level 1 (N19-N1): 1 point per tick

The player who accumulates the most score points during the season wins.

Other game changes: the market is not available, and terminals can send resources only to your own terminals.

Note: for this Seasonal World we're going to update runtime Node.js to the latest version possible. This will be a good opportunity to have a smaller scale test before we deploy the new Node version to the Persistent World.
