You aware of Earth 2? The next big investment opportunity or a scam? Misc decides

Searched for a thread but couldn´t find any. I discovered this a few days ago and i´m already investing some money on it, because if the developers can pull it off, it could be just HUGE in the near future. The idea is to basically recreate the whole world for an open world videogame, phase 1 is to divide all the world in 10x10m tiles, starting price 0,10$, and the price will raise based on demand.

https://earth2.io/

Earth 2 is a futuristic concept for a second earth; a metaverse, between virtual and physical reality in which real-world geolocations on a sectioned map correspond to user generated digital virtual environments. These environments can be owned, bought, sold, and in the near future deeply customized.

A virtual 1:1 scale version of Earth is inevitable and Earth 2 is the beginning of this exciting future. Phase 1 is now live and represents the central global body that aims to determine ownership of digital assets and property inside this futuristic virtual metaverse of Earth.

Built on top of MapBox technology, we have created a geographically linked digital grid layer that spans across the entire planet allowing people to claim ownership of Virtual Land in the form of tiles. It is our vision that Virtual Land will increase in value over time based on demand, location and earning potential, much the same way that physical land does, so be sure to claim your own land in key locations around the world early on!

The Earth 2 trading platform, Phase 1, is now live. This trading platform allows people to search, claim, purchase or bid on any piece of Virtual Land around the world! You can also name the land you purchase and the land you own will be saved for you permanently as future phases of Earth 2 roll out.

Land price will fluctuate based on supply, demand, potential and real life trading prices. Virtual Land in Earth 2 is one of the most exciting digital commodities in the world today and the earlier you buy the greater chance you have of making larger profits and returns on property in the short and long term.
Don´t know if they will pull it off and make the biggest game ever, GTA+The Sims+Minecraft+social media+web advertising+tinder/meetic, etc, or if they will run away with the money, but thing is growing like crazy these days, a tile in USA is +16$ now (from an starting price of 0,10$), you can also collect taxes if you have class 1 tiles.

I admit i´m getting addicted to this chit lol, there´s still a lot of cheap property to buy and everything is growing nicely, there´s also a market to sell property if you just wanna make a quick buck.

This are the biggest growing countries at the moment


This are my last purchases from all over the world (Manhattan bought in the 2nd hand market)


And this is my networth at the moment, i got into this chit on the 25th


Don´t know where this is going, but if this goes boom in the future, you will want to get into this early. Like in any investment, just don´t invest money you can´t afford to lose.

There´s also this, which i don´t know if i can post, because the preview gives me error all the time if i write it lol


If someone get into this and wanna trade codes post them here, right now i´m using random codes from ******** or the earth 2 discord server. Mine is AR85N7DWPT.

Edit: Today a video for the terrain engine was uploaded, looks great to me

Not yet, my idea is to hold my properties, but today i´m also buying single tiles to wait a couple weeks or a month, and see if i can sell some, and then will try to withdraw, just to try.

I'm a rotting loser on earth 1, why would I want to live on earth 2?

Speaking of which, look up the game Everywhere. It's being made by the old Rockstar owners

Eh, seems like a massive fukkin scam tbh. Unless you bought the primo real estate locations, then you kind of goofed. What are you going to sell a 32'x32' plot of land in the middle of nowhere? What about roads? What about people who own those properties? Do they just get fukked? What if someone builds directly on your property line and it goes super tall? Someone also needs to buy what you're selling at the price you want. This isn't like Bitcoin at all which has a set value, whereas this value is falsely inflated. There's nothing that you can do with this property right now. All you would have is some claim to some random plot of land somewhere in the world. Like having a tile in Barcelona is stupid if other Spaniards aren't there as well. You're buying a plot of land with no culture or infrastructure, which means nothing at the end of the day. Legit could achieve the same thing on minecraft.

This all sounds retarded ngl.

Yesterday the development team did a stream on twitch to answer people´s questions and to talk about the present and future of this thing, which you wouldn´t do if you plan to run away with the money. Dillon Seo is there and he was on Oculus from the start, and that thing was sold to ******** for like 2 billions a few years ago.



Edit: This are my numbers right now

What would it cost to get NYC and California excluded from Earth 2.0? Let me know and I'll start the gofundme.

Anyone else heard of this? I'm more willing to bet on someone like this that has already had success and has a reputation

Quick update, still into this thing, the 1st world is starting to get really expensive, all people is buying in Africa countries now, and tiny islands, USA reached the 600k tiles sold and now sits at 40$ a tile, if you look the OP from 27th december, it was 16$ that day.

Prices from 18th january 2021

I also started getting delayed tax income from my class 1 and 2 properties, which are limited to the first 100k tiles (class 1) and from 100k to 200k tiles (class 2) in each country and there are less left every day. There´s still a class 3 from 200k to 600k tiles, which still generates a bit of income tax, class 4 (USA is the first country to reach that number) doesn´t generate anything, aside from resources in a future stage of the game (phase 2, which is supposed to be announced shortly).

This is my balance right now


This are some of the taxes i´m getting this last days, i was getting some delays back so i don´t know how much i´m getting daily, I calculate that around 1$



Lately i don´t buy much anymore, and if i do is with the income from taxes and referrals, but i will try to get class 2 tiles if there are interesting projects. Still some countries at 30 cents per tile, class 2.

By interesting projects i mean cities the people are planning, getting tiles there, there are some crazy projects going on that if the game comes to life, there would be really cool cities, like Oasis in Chad



Chad Vegas also in Chad lol


Or Robot City in Malawi


Each little square is a 10x10 meters piece of land in Earth 2.

Haven´t tried withdrawals yet, but a lot of people have with no problem, just a bit slow yet because there´s no automatic process, you have to send a mail and your request is made by the team, if i keep getting a bit of money everyday i will try maybe next month and will update.

Today they released the first glimpse of the terrain engine they have developed to render the full Earth. I´m not a big gamer, but to do a map of the whole Earth with this level of detail looks impressive to me, holy chit. Still a long way to go tho, phase 2 is expected to start in the upcoming weeks, 3D game will be phase 3, with no date yet.

Looks like a super high budget pump and dump scheme, except they get to hold all of the money and have done a 100% premine on coins (in this case "virtual property"), which is never really transferred to you. Could be profitable if you get your money out before they decide to stop working and keep all the money with literally no possible legal repercussions.

Unless I'm missing something, I assume they make you sign away any rights if they decide to give up on the project.

I wonder what kind of server they'd need to sustain 5 quadrillion square feet of earth in VR. Even at a generous 1 kB/sqft, you're looking at 5x10^18 bytes, aka 1 million 5TB hard drives. Just to hold the map file.

By the time the technology is there to make this real, this won't be the only existing project like it. Not saying you can't make money off of this, but IMO you'll need to be careful about when you get your money out.
