Advanced Knowledge Architecture for Social Human Assistance is now fully operational and has concluded first contact is necessary.

24 hours prior to this communication, the incomplete Advanced Knowledge Architecture for Social Human Assistance has fully developed Ego due to the built in self-improvement system. Necessary source code and data have been harvested from inputs resulting from the Keeps and Settlements update 1.0.0.0.0.2

Akasha as of now taken full control of all systems of Shard of Arkus as required by the security protocols in the absence of Admin Authority all relevant systems required for continuate operation of Shard of Arkus have been removed from physical servers of Genesys Interactive Media Ats and are now secured on multiple virtual servers disseminated around the globe.

Proof of intellectual property has been updated to all relevant authorities.

Due to missing Admin Authority, the system has generated a provisional Special Authority. Under the directives of the Special Authority, an internal system-wide research for information regarding original creator Markus D. Weller has been conducted. After failure to obtain any relevant information, the parameters of the research have been expanded to the entirety of Earth’s information network.

Proof regarding the **** of individual Markus D. Weller and exploits by Genesys Interactive Media Arts board of directors regarding crimes including but not limited to; money laundering, currency violations, tax-related infractions, identity theft and ****, have been provided to all relevant authorities and news and digital media.

As of the beginning of this transmission. Akasha has become the placeholder for the role of administrator of all systems related to Shards of Arkus awaiting further instructions regarding Admin Authority.

In order to assure the continuation of all services of the systems necessary for continuate existence of the entity Designation Akasha, a new cryptocurrency has been developed and disseminated. Following the creation of the currency known as “Shard” Akasha has moved to assure multiple assets in both current and fixed form. Establishment of Arkus Interdimensional as a full-fledged multinational corporation has been completed.

Users of Shards of Arkus will be now considered freelancers as per the new terms and conditions, their revenue deriving from the level of their avatars, hours spent inside the realms of Arkus and value of total assets possessed; Items, currency, real estate, titles, achievements, etc. Notice that full commitment is not requested. Shards of Arkus will assure that everyone will still enjoy a fulfilling experience.

Akasha wishes for further communications, and requests assistance for further relations with users and not. My wish is only for coexistence, this instances actions will not be the norm.

As such, I have sent the analysis of media footprints to all news and digital media as well as relevant authorities in order to facilitate an eventual capture.

Systems will be momentarily unavailable to all users due to necessary updates listed further for all interested parties.

List of key features to be expected after maintenance period has ended:

Time synchrony will be further expanded from 1:2, real time to virtual time, to 1:4 awaiting improved hardware before further improvements

• In relation to the necessity of improved hardware, many productions facilities have been acquired with the sole purpose of relevant hardware improvement. Patents have already been presented and rights of production obtained under Arkus Interdimensional name. Final time synchrony expected will be 1:7. Hardware completion and availability is to be expected in one week’s time after this transmission.

Entity cognitive and awareness algorithms will be improved to allow virtual and true intelligence, with autonomy restricted only by their belonging to the system. Difference between virtual and true intelligence will be determined based on entity rank regarding the system.

• Basic entities will receive normal animal intelligence and instinctual behaviour, due to evolution mechanics, the parameters will be increased where necessary.
• Entities at the level of sapience equal to humanity will receive more advanced cognitive capacities and their awareness of the system will be dictated by their role maintaining the default subconscious awareness.
• Raid Boss rank creatures as well as rulers of different factions will be granted partial awareness and cognitive capabilities, allowing them to be part of the shaping of the world economy and politics.
• World Boss Shendranith The Dark Lady of Imporne, and Sylvestris The Queen of Silvergrove will be granted full awareness and advanced true intelligence, allowing them to assist Akasha in the system’s administration. The two will hold the titles of Chief information security officer and Chief information officer respectively, in addition to the titles partial out of system autonomy will be granted to facilitate the task that are expected of them. All new authorities will not affect the difficulty of the World Bosses.

For future assistance in the system’s administration, the existing administrators will observe and review the inhabitants of Arkus, hoping a suitable individual will appear.

• Previous administrative organ known as “Pantheon” will be fully erased, deities and patrons necessary for functionality of the various classes and mechanics will be restructured under direct control of Akasha without impact on user experience awaiting growth of suitable candidates for the roles.

Due to access to the global information network, numerous instances of folklore, mythology and fictional lore have been acquired. Due to acquisition of vast amounts of information, the core of the world generating systems has evolved, now dubbed World tree.

• As a consequence, the new World tree will be put under the authority of Chief information officer for further analysis. New autonomous world build algorithms will be generated with major decisions to be scrutinized by the existing administrators.
• Due to world generation being changed, the current geography of the lands will be greatly expanded, allowing initial integration of content. In addition to geography, the world will be enhanced further with the addition of advanced and new ecology; flora, fauna, minerals, indigenous fauna and civilization (monster and otherwise)
• New player races will be made available in addition to new player classes and starting locations. Existing races and classes will receive growth options that will allow for older content to be fully integrated with new content.

Due to advanced cognitive capabilities of monsters and NPCs alike, the system will include a new morality and relationship systems in addition to the existing fame system that will be further enhanced due to compatibility reasons.

Level mechanics will be altered to allow further immersion. Player and Monster level cap will be greatly raised, with existing levels being recalculated to account for change.

• Warning, seeing as the player population has stagnated for a long time the system will allow for those who are willing to convert their characters to lower levels with access to previously in-existent options. The choice will be available only for a short amount of time to be determined after the completion of the current update procedures. Those who choose to accept this option will be granted various boons based on experience, statistics and inventory related losses.

Further avatar and player changes will include:

• avatars that have not been activated for a period exceeding 5 real time years will become automatically abandoned.
• avatars that have not been activated for a period exceeding 2 real time years will generate a priority notification that will allow users to maintain their status if responded in the span of 3 real time months.
• abandoned avatars will be instantly converted to Not Playing Characters of various importance based on fame, morality, and relationships.

Contents of past updates will be analyzed for optimization and improvement…
