Homesteading the Noosphere

Novasphere Pioneers (ノウアスフィアの開墾), the 12th expansion pack (追加パック) of the extremely popular MMORPG Elder Tale, was released at midnight one day in the year 2018. When it was released, it caused an event that trapped 700,000 players worldwide -- including 30,000 from Japan -- inside of the game.

The Novasphere Pioneers expansion pack was a large update that added new items, quests, zones, monsters, and battles to Elder Tale. It also increased the level cap beyond 90.
