The meta-universe speculation boom continues, and the second round of external testing activities of Rainbow Universe opened on December 11, and new users obtain mobilization codes through the invitation of old users, or participate in psychological tests in WeChat Mini Programs to obtain landing codes. On idle fish, the mobilization code is priced at about 19 yuan, and the landing code is priced at about 50 yuan. In the previous batch of internal tests, the reservation code was speculated to tens of thousands of yuan.
"Rainbow Universe" is a game product launched by the domestic meta-universe concept company Tianxiaxiu (600556), which can have virtual residences, virtual objects, and also experience the decoration of houses, social interactions, etc. Official sources said that the platform will issue a total of 350,000 sets of virtual houses, the circulation and scarcity of each room type are different, the level of the house is divided into SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, the higher the level, the rarer.
After experiencing the game, the Blue Whale reporter found that the current activity needs to land for three consecutive days before it can be distributed to the house, and this round is limited to 40,000 sets. Blue Whale Financial Inquiry found that the goods on idle fish that had previously received SS-grade houses of 999,900 yuan were still on sale, and there was no relevant transaction record in the account, and the record of successful transactions ranged from 4 yuan to 25,000 yuan, a 40-fold reduction compared with the selling price.
But is the Rainbow Universe a qualified metaverse concept product?
Roblox, the first company to write a "metaverse" into a prospectus, said that the platform has 8 key characteristics to the metaverse: Identity(identity), Friends (friends), Immersive (immersive), Anywhere (anywhere), Variety (diversity), Low Friction (low latency), Economy (economy), Civility (civilization).
Specifically, there is no currency system in the rainbow universe, and the game currency "Star Diamond" needs to be completed by landing and doing tasks, and there is no recharge channel. The digital assets in the game mainly refer to virtual real estate and furniture, etc., with NFT (Non-Fungible Token) characteristics. With immersion analysis, in addition to the interior of the room is 3D, the world map is still presented in 2D, only a limited number of places can be selected to enter, and there is currently no access to VR and other technologies.
In terms of social attributes, the rainbow universe dating method is mainly through "going to a friend's house to visit the door", you can choose to "hug", "slap your mouth", "kiss", "touch fist" four actions with friends. The game cooperated with the 5 million fan IP "Fish Too Idle" to build the scene, and held an online fan meeting on November 18.
The slow system and caton have become one of the problems of many user feedback. In the Rating page of the Rainbow Universe App, user Jackwert said: "Downloading resources to unzip takes nearly ten minutes, all kinds of cumbersome, content and publicity are different from the two things." There are also user reviews of "3D version of QQ space", "not as good as Moore Manor" and so on.
Since October 28, TianxiaXiu announced the rainbow universe internal test to the close of December 13, Tianxiaxiu rose by 59.6%, quoted at 13.93 yuan.
On November 18, in the public account of Tianxiaxiu, Chairman Li Meng said in an open letter that the rainbow universe developed by the company for many years is "a 3D virtual social product based on blockchain technology". The letter also mentions VR, AR and MR (MIXreality Mixed Reality) as well as terms such as materials science, distributed science, AI algorithms and even quantum computing.
"I believe that soon we will be able to build a 'building' in the rainbow universe, all the employees of the rainbow show will work together in the virtual world of the rainbow universe for one day, and there will be more enterprises and institutions in the rainbow universe in the future, which is also in line with the big theme of China's future low-carbon environmental protection."
On the evening of the 19th of the next day, Tianxiaxiu received a regulatory warning from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Tianxiaxiu disclosed the announcement on the evening of November 19 that after the company's self-examination, the company's main business has not undergone major changes, the company has not participated in the research and development of AR, VR, MR and related hardware technologies, nor has any related hardware technology reserves or patents, and the current "Rainbow Universe" product has not yet been connected to the aforementioned hardware technology. "Rainbow Universe" as an experimental stage product has greater risks and uncertainties.
