[UPDATE 12.05.23] Douglas Park will not
be included in tomorrow's release. Map has been updated to reflect
this change.
[UPDATE 12.05.23] Added the following clarification on the terminal
Upx Distribution.
All UPX proceeds from travel via Miami terminals, will be evenly
split among the terminal owners, ensuring they benefit from the
UPX earned during the city opening. In future instances where
terminals are not sold until after a city's initial opening in
Upland, we will adopt this same approach.

Take a look at the Miami travel routes guide below to help you plan your trip effectively and ensure you arrive on time for the opening!
On
Wednesday, December 13th, at 9 AM PT, we’ll
reveal Collections that are a part of this opening. As collections
may alter a property's price, make sure to double-check your
marketplace properties before the reveal to ensure you don’t sell
them below the collection-modified value. It may be safer to
temporarily remove them from the marketplace before the information
is public and the Collections are revealed.
Important Note:
All Collections to this city expansion will be tokenized before
the release and will remain unmodified. As cities continue to
expand, additional Collections will be tokenized in this same
process to meet the required Collection ranges for each city’s
tier. Not all Collections tokenized are necessarily for the
current expansion.
Miami Collections will be revealed through the following process.
At around 9:30 AM PT, we will unlock the unminted properties part of
the Miami Collections for minting.
Now that you're all
set with the details, it's time to put on your sunglasses and head
to Miami. We're excited to see all of you Uplanders in this dazzling
American city for our thrilling city opening!
Note:
As a reminder, if we see signs that the city release experience is
sub-optimal, we will take immediate action and lock any unminted
properties. If required, this may be followed by a brief
maintenance period.
