“Everyone needs a roof over their head, a place to rest, recover and hoard treasures. Every citizen of Otherland receives their very own U|Space, which they can personalize and arrange as they see fit. The U|Space also acts as an important part of various gameplay systems of Otherland.
PvP, SOMA, eDNA, and Clan|Space, link back to the U|Space. Change the design, build rooms, share your address with friends, and most importantly: protect it with your life! Hackers and potential backstabbers are always on the lookout for easy U|Space to invade and loot. But then again, that hacker may very well be you.
