TerraMetas Studios has announced the launch of a new update that introduces a feature called “Merging Lands” for their free-to-play virtual 3D world, Metaverser.

What Is Merging Lands?

As the name suggests, Merging Lands is a feature that allows creators to link together adjacent plots in order to turn them into one big unified area, giving game makers the opportunity to develop larger games across more than one land plot. By having expanded space, creators will have way more room to make their creative imaginations come to life, enabling the creation of various types of games, from ones containing loads of complex puzzles to open-worlds with engaging quests.

What Benefits Does the Update Bring?

According to the announcement, with this update, users can shape large virtual worlds that are limited “only by their imagination.” Next to providing room for more creative gameplay, the update is said to bring economical advantages as well, with the official post mentioning that the feature brings an “affordable and accessible way” to make your mark in the metaverse, with the feature said to be cost-effective as it provides users with the ability to expand “without a significant financial burden.”

How to Merge

In order to merge your plots, you’ll have to head to the Metaverser’s panel, where you can connect your wallet in order to see all the lands that you own. From there you can choose which plots you’d like to merge, after which you have to enable MTVT in order to be able to pay the merging fee. When merging, you will also have to decide which plot should get burned in the process by looking at their displayed token IDs, with a fire image present on the plot that will get burned.

Once you’ve made sure that the correct plots have been chosen and that you’ve chosen the right land you’d like to stay instead of having burned, you can then submit a request to merge, where you will pay the merging fee that is set to 7000 MTVTs. The team will then review the request, and if the plots are truly adjacent, your request will get approved and the process will be completed. If they’re not adjacent, the request will be denied and no refund will be provided, so you’ll have to be extra careful when choosing your plots.

The developers state in the announcement that your new expanded land “will be usable when a new build/update drops.”
