Sovereign World Status Supported?

Hello!

Back from my break <3 yay!

One thing I wanted to do before I left was setup a Sovereign world. I had lots of ideas but thought just coming back would be a great time to do that. I play on PC.

I have a new computer, so I didn’t remember where I went to go buy the planet. I had a hard time finding anywhere in the game itself that told me.

The Shop page doesn’t say the website:

There is no mention of the website in the other exchange.
There is no mention of the website on News Page either:

It says to use the Shop, but that doesn’t work. And when you click the Full Release Notes it pulls you to here:

This page doesn’t have the website on it.
As far as I could tell, the main website doesn’t have a link to the shop either.

I had to dig around until I found the FAQ (which is not linked anywhere).

I did notice @james said this:

Release 247.4:

Removed World Shop button to external site after guidance from Steam that it contravenes their rules.

Is there no easier way to communicate to players how to access this feature?

Also, it made me worried that the feature was no longer going to be supported?

Any thoughts/insights would be handy

I should note there is this section on the main website:

But when I click the buttons (guilds/economy/own world) nothing happens.

I think there is a Shop button on the forum page

Are you trying to buy a world? Shop site is below

Stretchious · February 5, 2021, 12:22pm

Yup, link at the top of the forums…

It definitely does need to be more accessible though!

Something to note, for mobile users that’s not even there.

I think I see my confusion!

I first went to the main website and they have this:

And “buy now” just links you to steam. I should have clicked on the ‘Shop’ button on the forum…I just got in my head that took me to steam?

Sorry, I’m sure this is easier not after a break…but it was very confusing Hope this feedback can help make it more accessible on PC.

Guessing ok if we put it on signs in the game ourselves? I just went and added this at my rental hub -

If it is ok to do that, if we can get it up in some well-traveled spots, might help get the word out to players who don’t come here.

If NOT ok to do that, just let me know, I’ll erase it!
