The metaverse is built with numerous platforms such as Zepeto and ifriend, and Roblox is another one of them. The Everland Metaverse was created in the form of a map on Playddap Land based on Roblox. Roblox, a game-based metaverse platform, has already become a strong service in the domestic game market. It is characterized by recognizing games as a society, and Roblox is the most-used platform (by about 700 million people) among them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76b19f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"76b19f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/photo-3-940x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-25185\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/photo-3.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/photo-3-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">A virtual ride on the Everland festival train in the metaverse<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cd44d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4cd44d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why is Everland in the metaverse?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02331ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02331ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Resort Group, which runs a speedway and golf course as well as theme park Everland, water park Caribbean Bay chose to put Everland into the metaverse to expand the theme park\u2019s horizons and provide new experiences to its fans, while at the same time connecting online and offline visitor experiences.<\/p><p>Everland in the real world has many restrictions due to the nature of the place, but t\/he Everland Metaverse can make it easier for customers to enjoy Everland in their daily lives without actually having to visit.
