The Chinese creator of the 3D virtual world - HiPiHi Company announced in Beijing today: After a year-long limited internal test of HiPiHi's "Genesis" involving and driven by more than 40,000 early residents, it is now entering the stage of "society emergence," where it will be open to the public. In this "society emergence" phase, the HiPiHi world will open registration for public testing, and new and old residents will gather on this magical land they have created themselves, marking the birth of a true virtual society prototype!

During the "society emergence" phase, all users need only log onto the homepage of the HiPiHi official website to register as a resident of the HiPiHi world and start exploring this new and wondrous world, beginning a new life.

While continuing to improve and expand functions related to creation, socializing, and trading, the HiPiHi world during the "society emergence" phase has introduced a new user registration system and user interface, and initiated a new platform architecture design to accelerate the transformation and upgrade of the world:

● A new username system has been adopted to facilitate and promote recognition and communication among global multi-lingual residents.

The username system is the foundation of social interaction and credit within the virtual world and is also a valuable intangible asset for residents. Credit systems and asset systems are one of the cornerstones of the future prosperity of virtual worlds. Therefore, to welcome the arrival of large-scale multi-lingual users and establish a credit system associated with usernames, HiPiHi has, starting from the "society emergence" phase, fully considered various needs such as OpenID, internationalization, user registration experience, and the alignment of registered resources with user personalization, and has enabled a completely new username system.

● A more distinctive and humanized user interface has been launched, bringing a refreshed user experience.

The newly introduced user interface of the HiPiHi world features a fresh silver-gray appearance, redesigning and integrating various functional arrangements and operation instructions, providing users with a simpler and more convenient experience. At the same time, graphic icon buttons replace textual descriptions, not only making function operations more humanized and interactive but also facilitating understanding and use for non-Chinese users. While optimizing existing functional operations, the "society emergence" interface has also specially added an online personnel name list to guide and promote real-time exchanges and interactions among users.

● A dynamic natural plant system has been added, continuously optimizing and improving creative functions, and initiating a social economic system.

Spring flowers, autumn moons, winter snows, summer frost, swaying green trees - the HiPiHi world has the same spatiotemporal changes and natural beauty as the real world. Joint creation, character attachment systems, basic script writing, group chats... Existing creative functions are being continuously optimized and improved, and the operation and use of the platform are becoming more stable and smooth. Land ownership, abandonment, sale, relocation, bartering between residents... Land authority and information management functions strengthen item exchange functions based on backpacks, gradually opening the door to the operation of the virtual economic system.

● A diverse virtual world culture and values are forming and becoming increasingly rich.

The first public community in the HiPiHi virtual world, "Origin Town," initiated and constructed spontaneously by residents, is being prepared and developed with enthusiasm from early residents; the TV station within the HiPiHi world tells the stories of its residents; resident activities and stars continue to emerge, and hot topics of the world converge in the "Talk Bar"...

● A new platform architecture design has been initiated.

In the "society emergence" phase of the HiPiHi world, while continuing to improve existing functions and promote the construction of virtual world communities, the design of a new platform system architecture has begun. HiPiHi will collaborate with strategic partners in the global IT industry, including Intel and IBM, to jointly design and promote a fully open, highly scalable, interconnected virtual world that truly exists, laying a solid foundation for the full entry of virtual worlds into mainstream market applications.

"One day in heaven, one year on earth." In this brief yet long year, from the creation of the world, Nuwa creating humans, Tian Gong crafting objects, to the "society emergence," more than 40,000 early residents and the HiPiHi team have together witnessed the historical trajectory of the birth and evolution of this virtual continent of the HiPiHi world. Starting today, more new residents will enter this magical land, meeting, getting acquainted, knowing each other... embarking together on a new journey of life.
