by the time of the first release, oldfield had also expressed the desire for people to share their game with others, and thus the game became a multiplayer game, with people connecting to the game world via the internet. each person could have their own avatar, which they would use to fly around the virtual worlds. a maximum of 13 avatars can be in use at any one time, with others being observers, all having the ability to chat. oldfield would log in from time to time in order to chat with his fans live. oldfield was interviewed about the game and his faith on the heaven and earth show on bbc one.
