Project: Earth + Patch 2.13
Announcements:
Welcome to the new expansion for Project: Earth +. Now enjoy the new contents in Project: Earth as magic literally comes to life. We have programmed the Recurrent Neural Network to create a new type of ability: Magic. A world reset will also occur. You can use all of your existing abilities that you have earned in the new world. The server maintenance downtime ends on 12:00 am. After that, you will be able to enjoy the new content.
If you don't like magic and would like to experience our game more grounded in reality, we are offering free server transfer to the West servers until the end of the year. The West servers will not have the "Plus" contents implemented for the rest of its lifetime. We have managed to link the database of the East server and the West servers, so you would not need to worry about losing your data crystals and abilities. Please see your account page for more details.
General Balance Change:
Magic:
* New abilities available under the Magic Category
* All Magic abilities use WIS as checks instead of INT
* MP bar added
Humans:

To alleviate server traffic problems, we have acquired a new server on the west coast. Everything is duplicated including current players' skills and data crystals. The server transfer service is free until next month. If you wish to transfer your account to the west coast servers, please see your account page for details.
Project: Earth Patch 1.53
Announcements:
The players have spoken. There will not be a world reset. Humans will be automatically be chosen at the start. We have also implemented a new mechanic. There are now different races for humans. Each race will have a different starting point. Future balances and fixes will be done through GM Events where unique items and data crystals will be given out to balance each race. All in-game history in regards to the removed race is now relabeled as mythology so that buggy data crystals will not spawn from them. Please see our event page for details.
Project: Earth Patch 1.52 December 5, 20496
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Announcements:
Due to a bug exploitation using the world item “The Tower of Babel”, all other races except for humans is now extinct. Players cannot choose any race other than humans as a starting character since there are no births for all other race. Unfortunately due to the coding of Project: Earth, we are not able to make any changes to the system without resetting the world since this is an item generated by the Recurrent Neural Network. If we reset the world, all data crystals and all abilities will be lost for all players. We have posted a vote on the main page to decide the fate of the world. The voting process will last for a month. Again, Fin'Dictive Gaming Studio apologizes for the inconvenience. Please see our main page for details.
General Balance Changes:
* Removed world item “The Tower of Babel.”
