Its not much yet, And im not 100% sure it works yet, but you should now be able to create an online group.
And everyone in the group should have a net player sync to their position.
Tomorrow i need to test if you can invite friends (Its 4am i need sleeps im running on fumes).
The intent for where this goes in the future is for it to be relatively passive, no pvp invasions, no pve affecting your world state.
But more jolly vibes, you can meet and show your friends things around the map, show off your spirit monsters.
But the bit im most excited about adding is active instances.
I want certain (helpful) inventory items to be able to be spawned and passed through the realms.
One of the more simpler examples im fairly certain ill include is bonfires.
Drop a bonfire near your group, and you all get its regenerative properties.
A nice rest by the warmth to break up the trip. And it lets you share the load while dealing with finite invent space.
I want to go further then this, but i dont want to make promises i cant keep. And im already drowning in scope, so for now the goal is just walk about and place bonfires for each other.
