Virtualsense
Building Arabian‑Themed Toulan & Mythical Monria
Who Is Virtualsense?
Virtualsense Ltd. is a virtual world development company led by entrepreneur Jason Jarvis, focused on
building rich, lore-driven destinations within Entropia Universe. The company is best known for managing
Monria a Cthulhu Mythos-themed Moon, Planet Toulan, an Arabian-inspired sci-fi world, and DSEC9 with
its 3 unique map sections that provide engaging game play. Virtualsense delivers development, marketing, content creation, and community support.
A New Beginning
On 19 August 2020, Virtualsense officially took over Planet Toulan from its original developer, Beladcom,
assuming full responsibility for development, marketing, and community management. This marked a significant expansion for Virtualsense, which had already been managing Monria since 26
November 2015.
The “New Beginning” announcement published around this time referenced both Toulan and Monria, not
because Monria was newly acquired, but because it signified the start of unified development,
communication, and cross-planet content strategy.
Following this:
- Virtualsense began full content production for Toulan,
- A shared community forum was launched for both Toulan and Monria. DSEC9 was added in June 2021,
- Themed mission chains like Church of the Elder Gods and cross-location lore integration were introduced,
- Player support, release/patch notes, and events were centralized,
- This moment marked a new era of aligned storytelling, community focus, and consistent development, across both destinations under a single creative and management vision.
Monria: The First Acquisition
Jason Jarvas purchased Monria on 26 November 2015 from the first Monria management team led by Akoz. As the new Monria Management Team, Jason directed all aspects of Monria’s design and operation, including:
- Creating and expanding lore based on Lovecraftian’s Cthulhu Mythos,
- Hosted regular player events, managed estates, and coordinated community growth,
- Launched their first content release on March 15, 2016.
Monria remains under Virtualsense’s control and management, but residing on the Calypso server, no
further development has been done since 2020 due to the requirement of having to work with MindArk’
team and time being a commodity not easily scheduled.
Planet Toulan: The 2020 Expansion
On 19 August 2020, Virtualsense officially took over Planet Toulan from its previous developer, Beladcom.
This marked a major new chapter for the planet, and the Monria Team now became the Virtualsense Team.
Under Virtualsense, Toulan was revitalized with new content, expansion of lore and community programs. On June 1, 2021 DSEC9 was launched, which is a separate and third location developed by Virtualsense
with 3 distinct map sections and engaging content.
Unified Support Structure
Although Monria, Toulan and DSEC9 came under the umbrella of Virtualsense assets at different times,
Virtualsense began unifying support and development which included:
- A shared community forum for news, feedback, and player interaction,
- Aligned Version Updates (VUs) to deliver lore-rich content across all 3 locations,
- Crossover missions that linked Toulan and DSEC9 toward achieving unique rewards.
Community Tools & Contributions
Virtualsense’s work extends beyond content development. They actively support:
- Interactive event planning and roleplay-based gameplay,
- Tools such as item and blueprint tracking, shop inventories, estate directories and Everything Guides for each location (in collaboration with community creators),
- Long-term player engagement through mission chains and economy-focused content.
Ongoing Development
Toulan and DSEC9 continue to receive:
- Regular VUs and lore expansions,
- Item-based progression systems like the Elder Robes mission chain,
- Cross-planet collaboration with DSEC9, an expansion accessed through Monria but hosted on the Toulan server.
Why Virtualsense Matters
Virtualsense has demonstrated how focused developers can keep virtual worlds alive and thriving through:
- Deep, mythologically-inspired storytelling,
- Transparent communication and community-first practices,
- A balance of technical improvements and immersive game design.
Their careful stewardship ensures that Monria, Toulan and DSEC9 remain vital, engaging, and lore-rich destinations within Entropia Universe.
