Yes, or an on purpose physiological curve progress bar. Prob caused by a library xD
Either way, it is common that the total number of points to reach the goal is specified when the challenge starts. The devs know that number and are being vague or they do not which would be odd. 7.6B is a huge number and would take time, this would be fine if the event lasted a long time and if people could make a dent in it each week.
The player-base is not as big as Runescape so I’ll use that as an example.
Runescape uses this server-wide prize system, it takes a week to complete one. There are no limit to how much points an individual can gain in a day.
Orbus has a limit of 2k a week per person. The game also doesn’t specify the server-wide goal so theres no real sense of perspective other than hitting that weekly limit.
(G)÷(L)=(W)
G is the potential server goal, L is weekly limit, W is amount of weeks it’d take for one person to reach the goal on their own.
(~7.6B)÷(2K)=(~3.8M)
Meaning that it’ll take about 3.8M weeks to hit that goal on your own. Divide 3.8M by the number of people hitting that weekly limit each week and you get the idea.
So, it’ll be a huge grind. Even if 1K players hit the weekly limit each week, that’d be 3.8K weeks.
Please let me know if I’m wrong but that’s crazy

It was hard for some people to get all the points. I do remember the devs doing all they could for the new players who just joined at the end of the event to get them. It is all about keeping the interest in the rewards.
They were basically like *ight this game is more or less dead and we sorta forgot we have about 2 people on a day so we’re gonna prolong it so long you can get all 18k”
It died when they announced reborn for the most part. This is different because there is not a new game taking over after this explore the realm so it should do fine.
I mean, the island will unlock either way even if the goal is not hit (Summer Blog Post). It also said that it’ll last till October, so the goal will be quite big to span 5 months.
That and we’re only like 3 days in or something.
I guess so
We better get that new island cause I’m getting really bored really fast with this game
It will unlock. We just have to wait and see if the devs screwed something up.

But that’s not possible
This game is perfect, remember?

I made a reply in the main ETR topic thread, but the goal was 150 million at the start of the event, were lowering it to 36 million based upon the amount of participation in the first week of the event and we will also be doing an “un-capped” portion of the event later on to allow more points to be accumulated.

Welp based on the % bar showing 3% which can be rounding down, so lets say max 4%, it is still going to take: 100 / 4 = 25 weeks at this rate, with this being one of the better weeks. Pessimism initiated -_-
Edit: seeing post about the uncapping of points later in the event means it is probably possible but only when the point capping gets removed, which can be literally in the last weeks. So very controlled timeframe area of servergoal.
hay, he said a uncapped portion, I have about 6 decoration chests full of mats burning a hole in my pocket, and seeing as 1000 monster points took about 5 min killing i bet we can get a few million
@Robert will we have odd monster spawns like in the the old defend the realm? Like dungeon bosses in the overworld

Uncapped portion could (and probably will) have a lower point reward so it really depends on points/hour when it comes to it.
That is if im thinking of it right. Idk if they’d be adding this or removing the limit.
Server-Wide Points: 926240
Server-Wide Progress: [--------------------] 0.03%
So we can confirm that 0.03 is 3% not .03%
At this rate of a goal of 36 mil we still wont make it to even half based of my calculations~
(We appear to be looking at 14 mil at this rate)
But who is to say what happens after the cap removal down the road.
You can see the percentage and points at Elysium’s explore-the-realm channel @Scott
Can you please link eysylums explore the realm server
Thanks
Thanks I found the explore the realm server
You have a point though, the points are being controlled. Kind of takes the fun of the challenge out of it.
