Planet of Cubes: The Latest News and Rumors!

Planet of Cubes Multiplayer is almost here -Planet of Cubes is the first true MMO block building game with one global infinite world.  Ancient castles and cathedrals, lost ships and aircrafts, flying islands, cities and megalopolises, military basis, Egyptian pyramids, epic monuments and many other exciting objects and places are waiting for your exploration in this infinite Planet.  The whole single and beautiful Planet made of cubes is shared among all multiplayer users online worldwide!  The game has compass and current coordinates display to make navigation through the endless infinite world easier. You can also chat with all players who are visible within your current “View Distance” range.  In this version of the game each change you make has its lifetime (Time To Live or TTL). When you put or remove block this change is rolled back after some period of time (TTL). The farther you are from the Spawn Zone the longer your changes will last. The average lifetime of a change is displayed at the top of the screen as the TTL indicator.  You cannot build or dig inside the Spawn Zone. All cubes inside the Spawn Zone have TTL value of 0. Thus to build something make sure to leave Spawn Zone where TTL indicator is greater than 0.  Make sure to select your own skin from 20+ available skins. You will have random skin assigned upon your first login to the Planet.  Planet of Cubes game gives you infinite number of possibilities and endless potential for all of your creative, constructional and survival needs.

It's almost here. 
According to our good friends at Planet of Cubes, Multiplayer Survival is right around the corner. In fact, they're expecting it to happen in the next set of updates. Players have been waiting eagerly to fight off the monsters and things that go bump in the night in multiplayer survival, while enjoying the adventure of building and making friends on the Planet of Cubes.

Speaking with Olga - POC Team Member

(*Special Thanks to Olga for talking with me for this post!)I got the chance to speak with Olga, one of the POC Team members and she's really excited about what's to come on Planet of Cubes. "The first version is almost done! All the details we will write later...So follow our news on this site and other social pages!", she said. Meanwhile those who are part of the Planet of Cubes Forums, pocadmin explains more (*so join the site and see! Can't give it all away lol).

Olga's favorite places? "My favorite places in Planet of Cubes are Imperial City, Comfort City, Dubai, and of course i love all other places in the Planet too!"

Where will everything fall first?

According to pocadmin's post on the forums, it looks like Apple stores will get first crack and then everyone else. There's no time frame given on when will happen, but it looks to be for the 1.6 update.

What would YOU like to see?

I myself would like to see protected locations - some system that will allow players to either rent out plots for a while. I say rent because space can fill up quick with users buying plots and then deciding later not to play. So buying plots may not be the best of options. There has to be some form of checks and balances in place (active user ratio?) to maintain a chance for everyone to have their very own spot. I also think noteblocks would be very nice. If people come to my building it would be nice to have some notes left on how to contact me offline, or when I'm online playing Planet of Cubes. I think that would create a better system of "neighborhoods" in the game where people can form Clans if not Guilds (Whatever name you like better...)

The Zoo at Avatar Island

(148: -25) : Journey South of Avatar Island and you're going to find a Zoo. Yes, a zoo. Avatar Island definitely lives up to its name as a place where you will find some creativity beyond any other place on the Planet of Cubes. 

I first came across what I can only assume to be a Leopard or Cheetah, which made me venture further into this zoo area. Later I found a horse, what appeared to be a Panther, a kangaroo, a camel and finally a Pegasus, because you can't build animals without building a Pegasus (lol). And while I'm sure there were far more animals out there on the farm, I want to leave some animals for users to find on their own. However, these were my top finds of the day. There are many other creations in this area. I'm not sure if someone created it, or if the systems spawned these creatures. One thing is for sure, they're a definite attraction for the Planet of Cubes community.

Planet of Cubes locations: The tunnels of Dubai

Plan a trip to Dubai and you're bound to come across a railway system that is just an adventure to itself. Dubai's train system is ready to board passengers and carry them to the other side of the land, and I do hope one day we see that in Planet of Cubes.
Dubai Chamber registers 8,830 new companies in H1 2015 Bringing total number of members to over 177,000 By      Wam   Published Monday, August 03, 2015  The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry has registered a substantial growth in its membership base. (Supplied)  The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry has registered a substantial growth in its membership base, which the non-profit business facilitator credits to Dubai’s rising profile as a sound business destination and its attractiveness to global investors.  Between January and June, a total of 8,830 new companies joined Dubai Chamber which can be attributed to a record number of 335 international delegation visits to the Chamber. This brought the total number of members to over 177,000. These numbers, according to a recent report on the Chamber’s half-year activities, strengthened the organisation’s position as one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.  Also, as part of its global expansion strategy in emerging markets of the world, Dubai Chamber opened its fourth international representative office in the city of Accra in Ghana and is preparing to open another two in Mozambique and Brazil soon, with the aim of opening new market opportunities for its members.  Hamad Buamim, President and CEO, Dubai Chamber, said that when these international delegations come to Dubai, the Chamber highlights the advantages of doing business in Dubai and the attractive investment climate it offers. This is a crucial reason for the 8,800 new members in H1 2015.  "This rising trend in the Emirate’s international profile as a leading centre of trade and finance and the global investors’ confidence in Dubai’s lucrative economic sectors, which are led by trade, logistics, tourism and finance, are behind the foreign companies’ desire to set up base in Dubai and expand their global business activities through the Emirate," said Buamim.  President and CEO of Dubai Chamber further added that the Emirate’s various economic sectors’ excellent performance reflects on the wise vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who has launched a number of initiatives including UAE Year of Innovation, Dubai World Capital of Islamic Economy and Smart Government, which clearly show the Emirate’s commitment to create a conducive global business environment.
Here's a different angle you don't see on many of the other locations: An underwater tunnel. This reminded me of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel in Hampton Roads, Va. sans the view from the bridge.

Inside the tunnel there's not a lot to it, but it's lit so  you know where you're going.

Note: I found this city when I got to the end of the tunnel. One thing to remember is that the tunnel doesn't carry you all the way to this city. There's a ladder near the end of the tunnel you go up and then you fly the rest of the way.
