Immersive NPCs

Introduction

• New Feature: Immersive NPCs Sarah Tergus and Jax Terron are now available on Planet Calypso.
  • Function: Providing essential hints and personalized guidance for new players.
• Bonus Feature: Sayah King - Virtual AI Avatar is now available at https://www.entropiauniverse.com/.
  • Function: Announcing future updates and guide players through getting started with Entropia Universe on the Entropia Universe website.

Purpose and Limitations

• Goal: Assist beginners in navigating early stages without overwhelming complexity.
• Community Role: NPCs complement, not replace, community engagement for game insights.
• Phased Approach: Ensures all new players find valuable resources and support.

Accuracy and Interaction

• Technology: Utilizes the latest Transformer Model OpenAI 4(omni) and other LLM-based AI technology.
• Response Nature: Designed to mirror more human-like interactions with relatively varied reliability.
• Immersive Experience: Enhances gameplay without being a mere factual repository.

Usage and Cost Considerations

• Frequency of use: The initial frequency of interactions will be limited. Each player will have a set number of tokens per day they can use to interact with the NPCs.

Memory and Personalization

• Memory System: Short and long-term memory capabilities for human-like interactions.
• Interaction Continuity: NPCs remember previous conversations, enhancing personalization - this also means they will remember what you talked about, and it can affect how they interact with you. Choosing your words wisely is a good approach when starting out conversations with an NPC for the first time.

Privacy and Data Use

• Privacy Assurance: Designed to enhance experience without compromising security.
• Data Access: Only non-sensitive data like avatar name and strength level are accessed.
• Data Usage: Information used solely to tailor interactions, adhering to privacy laws.
• User Precautions: Users are urged not to share personal information with Immersive NPCs.

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.
