    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.
