Never judge a book by its cover \ The truth that not many people know about Dynamight Studios \ If you like this game and want to make it a success, give me your opinion on this topic \ more then 40 part To discuss

Dynamight Studios -** While we’ve been able to sustain the studio with money from our initial investment, Kickstarter and Founder Pack sales (which as a whole have recently surpassed 500,000 EUR!), we haven’t earned enough to expand our 8-people team safely (yes, we are the rare MMO dev types who don’t like to overreach and would rather stay financially stable).
*Some people may think that it is a very large sum and say wow, but it is nothing my friend
And 8 people on the team say to yourself that they are enough, no, no
Just what can I tell them are heroes and I love them.
They were able to give us this masterpiece that was not given to us by other companies whose employees reach 500 people
**WINTER ALPHA DELAYED
Now, to the not-so-nice news.
Back in November, when the Fall Alpha was ending, we were pretty confident the Winter Alpha would start in February. Until little ago, we were still hoping we’d be able to stick to the deadline. As the month is ending, that is clearly not going to happen: the launch has officially been postponed to March.
Here are the main reasons why this is happening:
• The two open weekends we’ve run and the business news we’ve just talked about took away a considerable amount of dev time;
• The focus of the Winter Alpha was meant to be PvP only, but we decided it was time to kickstart the economy as well. Hence the marketplace, which took a good man-month to be developed.
• City conquests are taking way longer to be completed than expected. Just that. Damn nations and damn catapults!Do you know if they had more than 100 employees would they be late.
No, they will not be late. But to hire more people you need more money
The developers won't care if your game is good or bad all that matters is how much money you will pay themRecipients do not care whether your game is good or bad, all that matters is how much profit you will make in the coming years.
- WHY DID YOU CALL IT “THE DYNAMIC MMO”?
We’ve called it “The Dynamic MMO” because we believe in the principle that everything in the game should be influenced by the actions of the player, from the micro to the macro level and that nothing should ever be static and immutable.
We’ve embedded this view in the design of all the aspects of Fractured, such as combat, environments, economic systems, civilizations and character progression, so that you’ll be able to truly call every game session “unique”.
Because of this passage, I was able to believe that the idea of selling gold for money could be implemented
Because all that will happen is the players alone, not the developers' interference.
It is not the game who will build the gold and money auction. The player is who will build it- IS FRACTURED JUST ANOTHER “GANKBOX”?
It’s not. We’ve always felt that sandbox MMOs tend to discourage players who don’t appreciate hostile interactions. Because of this, we have designed a unique universe that will allow you to choose whether to start in a brutal open-PvP environment (Tartaros), a solely cooperative one (Arboreus) or a mix of the two (Syndesia), according to your race of choice. Travels between planets and interactions with other races will be possible, but subject to limitations.
Everything that will happen in the paragraphs is completely compatible with the game
-
WHAT BUSINESS MODEL DOES FRACTURED FOLLOW?
Fractured follows a “buy to play” business model. This means that a single initial purchase gives you permanent access to the game, without any content restriction!
On top of that, the game features an Item Store selling cosmetic perks and an optional VIP membership.
Will the store be confused or disrupted by the existence of the money and gold auction?
No, it will never weaken. Now the auction is controlled by the two players, and it has been built like all the buildings that the players build.
The game only takes 20 percent with every trade. The other percentage is controlled by the king, of state -
HOW IS FRACTURED TESTING STRUCTURED?
The development of Fractured is split into 2 periods of time, called development cycles: Alpha and Beta. The current development cycle is Alpha.
Within each development cycle, multiple tests are run, with some downtime between each. More info on the topic can be found below.
This is one of the reasons that made me fight for the idea of auctioning money and gold.
Now the game is in the testing period
Which can be modified and added many things to improve the game. If you look at the game in the year 2018, you will see it as completely different from the year 2020- I'M A CONTENT CREATOR, CAN I GET ACCESS?
The Fractured Partner Program allows influencers and content creators to get a key that grants permanent access to the game and a link for revenue sharing.
If you signed up to the Fractured Partner Program but nothing is listed, it means your channel isn't large enough to qualify automatically. Please get in touch with contact@dymstudios.com directly if you're interested in getting access.
But this is the strongest reason. The game gives you some revenue when you help it collect the players and when you buy them from the game
The game encourages a profit-sharing system
Because of this, I have some hope that the game will add a money and gold auction system to the gameBut in order for this message to reach the game, I have to get many opinions from the people participating in the forum
Your opinions alone will make this idea either applied in the game or canceled
You might ask me where will the fun be when playing for money?
Have you ever asked yourself when I have 20 I must quit this game in order to work
And when I return from work, I will not be able to play now, and I will be exhausted from work
But imagine with me that you are working in the game you love
And you can organize your work time and be in the best case
No one will tell you what I have benefited from playing this game for years. No one will laugh at you. He says to you, I have played this game for 10 years, but you are still poor. You are 30 years old and your father and mother are spending on you.
When it comes to real money, your brain will do 10 times more to find solutions and work miracles
You will find yourself not playing a game but rather you are inside the game. If some sauce traps you while holding gold, your heart will beat faster in the real world.
Now you feel like you are carrying real money
If you and your friends steal gold from the merchants, you will not be happier
When your older brother or sister hears you talking about 20 million gold, he will laugh at you and call you jokes. Now money cannot be extracted for the real world, but imagine if you talk about 10 gold that you can turn into 10,000 dollars, everyone at home will love you and everyone will respect you . Instead of being the person who does not respect him, they just call you a geek, poor, and a lot of offensive lines.
But everything will reflect. If you get a profit from the game, it will become your knowledge that you love from the depths of your heart
In what the game will help
It will help her to develop and fully control the game. No single company will be able to control or make the game buy to win.
Even the character included in the game will have a great role and will be very effective. Each person will try to rise to the largest level in order to make the most money.If the game company had a lot of money it wouldn't have employed 500 employees. Like Corepunk, they have over 500 employees working on the game
Do not forget that the competition for MMO games is very strong
Just see the success of the Bitcoin business
The game can achieve the same success with this idea1 * Do not think that anyone can have the gold and money auction
2 * How much you need to build an auction of gold and money. You need to be a state king, not a city ruler. And it governs more than 1000 people at least. And a vast area of land. And you need God to pay 100 million gold in order to be allowed in order to get God's blessing the right and the money and gold auction becomes effective. It needs the most expensive materials to build, like Sun Steel, and at least 10 days and more than 500 workers to help build it
3 * Do not think that you will build it in comfort and peace. Other countries will have spies inside your country. When they get the news that you are starting to build a money and gold auction, they will attack you. You may wonder why they will attack me. The reason is easy. If the gold and money auction is successfully built, it will become the largest power in the planet where you live now. All merchants will travel to you and your country will become the largest economic, military and political power.
4 * The money that you will get from the gold and money auction. Yes, you control it and you can take it in full because you are the king. But do not think that your country will remain in existence if you do not pay the soldiers, and every person who works in your country has his wages, that he will continue to protect you and fight for you. Now your country can be occupied if there are no soldiers to defend it. You are a source of threat to all countries and unions. You can become Emperor if you are a just king and pay everyone his wages.
5 * Do not think that the game will sell you gold. Yes, there is a token, but it is only useful for decoration and nothing else in order to collect 100 million gold. You have to start trade trips together with strong and well-organized soldiers. Do not think that this is the end. Just imagine that you collected 20 million .
And took with you on the trip more than 100 people, including soldiers and merchants. Only 35 people are still protecting your city
Because of the spy in the guards, tell the enemies that you went on a trade trip and that the city is empty
They will attack you with the catapult siege machines, even if you want to return, you will not be able because you have crossed half an hour from the road in real time and here you are blowing 20 million in the wind
For this reason, if you want to be a king, you must be a clever planner and calculate every step you take
6 * How do you know that there is a spy on your team through the presence of a fortune teller who can speak to you with people, or to know that so-and-so person spoke with one of the followers of the king so-and-so or with the union of so and so. You must have the military intelligence force in order to maintain the security of your country. I hope this system will be added to Fractord
7 * What will happen if you apply the money and gold auction system in Fractord
It will become the world's most popular strategy game. Everyone who loves planning will join
The biggest wars yet to be challenged in any other game in the world will take place in Fractured
The biggest war blueprints will happen
The largest armies will be gathered
The kings of the Fractord world will become the heroes of their countries in the real world, and in particular the king who will build the money and gold auction will become one of the richest people in his country. Do not think that the kings of the Fractord world are kings in a game only. No brother, they are kings in a parallel real world
Now nurturing your country in the world of fractured is more difficult than nurturing a country in the real world.
The lives of millions of people may change from unemployment to wealth in this game.
Trade trips will be accompanied by more than 100 soldiers. And bandits you will not find 10 people just like other games, no friend, there will be more than 200 bandits wanting to steal you
And you know that the items that you want to sell are Dahab, which is converted into real money. Just tell me.
Will you invite some junior guards to protect you or will you seek help from the most famous guilds that have the best and most famous guards in the success of trade trips, not only guards, but even those who know the best way to go to the specified place? You will invite a very famous person.
8 ***Because my original account was blocked. I could not retrieve what was written in Parts 9 and 12
I couldn't get them back from the translation due to the large sizeThey also have a Contentment Auction and they only pay 10 million for the 8 hour protection The auction of conviction of angels needs only 3 days to receive the money
13 * The role of angels. When the eclipse occurs, each angel can take with him 10 savages to Cindyana, the planet of mankind to protect the auction of money and gold. When the eclipse ends, he gets money, not gold, according to the number of demons and human criminals who killed him and his followers. It is calculated according to the amount of money in the auction of gold and money. And the number of my parents killed, the higher the amount of money, the greater the reward.
The angel is the one who receives the reward and distributes it to his companionsThe system shows how much money each person should be given and is free to make a habit or steal them. But in the event of their stealing, the reputation of the angel will be worsened now. The system, when the angel does not give every person his right, the reputation of the angel will fall. And when recruiting, the most skilled monsters will not save him. Failure to recruit the most powerful monsters is considered a bad thing, because the higher the number of kills, the greater the reward
14 * Do not think that when you are an angel, everyone will respect you and that you will not be exposed to risks.
On your way back to the planet Aribeus, when you want to open the gate, which requires a minute that cannot be opened in the country, it must be outside the walls of the state and requires a minute to open it, meaning you must be protected in order to open it.
Some kings may speak to you with a tender face, but when you want to leave, they may send their soldiers to take back what they have. Now what you take is real money and everyone loves money for this. You must recruit the most skilled soldiers. Even when you return to Ariberus, you must be careful because you may meet with demons who are waiting for you to steal you.
15 * Angel and karma. When karma becomes 11,000, you can employ 11 people, when karma becomes 30,000, you can employ 30 people, and when the eclipse occurs, you can open the gate to the human planet and move all your team with you to the human planet
16 * What is the role of each auction. Money and gold auction. To humans, the planet of mankind can sell gold for real money. It can only be created by a state owner.
Greedy Auction. The money stolen from the human planet is stored and transferred to the real world on day 10. The money will not be transferred to the real world unless I have a greed auction created by a monster that has become a hated demon.
Content Auction: stores money earned when people help. Planet Erebus. Money is transferred to the real world on Day 3, created by a demon who has become an angel
17 * Dahab must have weight and money 3 times the weight of gold. If you plan to steal gold, there is no problem to bring 1 camel, but in case you want to steal money, you must bring 3 camels, now the weight is multiplied 3 times
18 * When the demons succeed in stealing money from people and they go to Tartarus, here he entrusts the angels with the supplies of money stolen from Tartarus, and they go to Tartarus, and when they defeat the demons and return the money and get half of the returned money, the baddor must be that there is no trust in humans. People may send Soldiers to eliminate angels before entering their planet Ariberus, or the angels may find an army of demons standing in Ariberus to eliminate them and steal money
19 * A monster who has become a demon can open the gate from Tartarus to Ariberus on 10 seconds, and from Ariberus to Tartarus on 30 seconds.
20 * The auction price of money and gold may differ from one country to another depending on the quantity of supply and demand. When you want to travel to sell gold, you must recruit people
21 * The person who buys gold gets gold directly and can go to buy weapons and whatever he wants. The country that contains the money and gold auction is the largest country in the economy, and everyone buys and sells
22 * Try to choose a strategic location Do not build your city in any random place because of wars Do not make yourself like a chicken among four wolves
23 * May the honorable people ally with the demons to attack your country, be present and form an alliance with the angels to help you in the war
24 * Do not think that an auction can be destroyed with magic, skills, or catapults. Auction will not be destroyed by anything but it can be destroyed with explosives. It takes 30 seconds for the bomb specialist to place the bomb, meaning it must have killed all the enemies. In order to trigger the auction, if the bomb specialist is attacked before the bomb is put in place, it will explode and the auction does not hesitate, the 10 regular bombs must be detonated on the side of the auction and the bomb of mass destruction placed in the auction center opens the box. It takes 1 minute to install, is very difficult to make, and costs money too
25 * On day 10, all auction money is transferred to the merchants and they can transfer it to their Paypal account
26 * If the auction is stolen on the 9th day, all the money is in vain
27 * In the event that this idea is introduced into the game, many companies will pump a lot of money to control the lands in the game
28 * Do not think that the game will become a purchase to win, not the game system is very fair. We are the ones who sell money in the game and we who maintain market scales will become private companies only by playing fractured
29 * Do not think that the system of selling gold will destroy the game, not my brother. Just look at the game Albion online, they are selling millions of silver for dollars. Only fractured will give us freedom so that we can control the market. And watch the numbers of players in Albion Online is increasing every day. Although they sell silver for real money, the game is not "buy to win."
30 * Regarding the game, it takes its commission directly when buying money
31 * How much is there a lot of websites that sell gold for real money only. We want everything to be compatible with the game and to feel it real and not just a game that will come one day and retire because of boredom. There is no problem if this program has been added, and I am afraid that the game will succeed. Just imagine that you are a professional in this game and you have a hard time. You will collect all the bandits and continue some gold, go to the auction to steal it. If you succeed, you will become rich overnight.
32 * Only we want some change in the games instead of monopolizing all the profits for them
33 * We want to have a goal when we play, not to play without a goal. I never play other than having fun
34 * When I say I am a video player, I say it with pride and not with shame
35 * I know that the place where the angels will go astray is Syndiana, but they can go to Ariberus to complete the eclipse missions.
36 * Just imagine adding a system of speaking through the speakers and headphones instead of writing on the keyboard, which takes a few seconds to give orders to your union. We want to have a group in the game that enables us to talk like a phone. In order to be easy in giving orders
Example . When the king speaks all of his people, he hears the voice of their king addressing them
It will be the best strategy game in the world
37 * The application of all this needs money a lot of moneyI just love this game and its developer 8 heroes
All the success and success, even if this idea is not implemented, I will play this game because it is a masterpiece that I have never had before
Everything depends on your comments and opinions. If you like them, they will be applied. If you hate it, it will not apply
- WHY DID YOU CALL IT “THE DYNAMIC MMO”?
-
just tell us bad or good
-
@SonOfEvil Although this sounds good on paper, having been in the MMO environment since it started way back with Ultima Online (and pre-MMO precursors like MUDS, MOOS, MUSHes, etc...) I gotta tell you that this actually is not how this would go down.
There already was a 'game' that tried this. Allowing the buying and selling of virtual money for real world cash. Even attempting to make their system a virtual meeting place, training center, etc... That 'game' was called SecondLife. There were even a couple of clones to SecondLife-style gaming that came out, but although they had some momentum at the beginning, they quickly degenerated to just glorified chat programs, and the game aspect was totally lost, even though they offered the ability to adapt different sections of the world to different game models.
Why did this not work you might ask...because, since the start of MMOs, the buying and selling of in-game gold has been driven by the illicit nature of the action. The main people who want to enter into these kinds of transactions at all are those inspired by the fact they are getting away with 'cheating the system' and by legalizing it, it loses it's appeal. The other primary source for revenue through game exploitation was always writing guides, how-tos on things like generating Gold/Platnum, Speed Leveling, Boss-hunting, etc... but with the proliferation of YouTube and Twitch, this is becoming less directly monetized. People are more likely to cash in on a viewership as a professional streamer/gamer than as a guide writer. Posting Guide snippets just as an incentive to bring viewers into their channel as regular subscribers.
The other aspect of buying in-game gold/resources with real-world cash that has a huge bad taste lingering in most gamers' mouths is the Pay-to-Win philosophy of gaming. This is the reason a lot of monthly fee games switched to 'free to play' and instead began to rely on micro-transactions to bring in their money...and this system worked, I mean it REALLY REALLY worked! A player unwilling to commit $9.99 per month to pay a game membership fee, can easily be talked into spending $0.99 for an in game perk, that they then end up buying more than 10 times in that month, so instead of the Developers getting $10.00 on average guaranteed from their playerbase, several of their players are actually dumping $20-50 into their coffers on a regular basis.
I know what you intend with this post, and your heart is in the right place. You want to see more gaming type people able to turn the hobby into a more profitable use of their time, and encourage good realm and game management in order to promote this profitability, but trust me when I say that market-wise, it won't fly...it has been tried, and has never worked consistently long enough to make it matter.

WTH am I reading?

@SonOfEvil a lot of intriguing ideas in some of the points you wrote down, but the final aim of putting real money outputs in the game fails for the same reason I pointed last time, which I will try to elaborate.
Economy in a game is not comparable to real world one for one main reason: in a game you GENERATE stuff from nothing, be it respawning resource nodes, mobs dropping gold and so on.
Due to laws of demand and offer, if you generate more stuff in your closed system, the relative price will go down, based on the scarcer resource available.
If you allow people to gain real money for in game money, then people will try to get as much in game money as possibile, farming in every way possible, which will generate a lot of in game money, while the available real life money will stay the same, thus lowering how much you can earn by selling in game money for real life one.If one month after the launch each character has around 1000 gold and each player has around 10 EUR to spend in the game, you will be able to sell 100 gold for 1 EUR.
But then after one year the average character will have around 100000 gold and players will probably still be willing to invest 10 EUR in the game at a given time, and you can see where it will lead.
That supposing that someone will be willing to buy your gold for real life money, when they can just farm it instead.
Because if the core of your game is "earn real life money" then people will come here to earn, not to spend, and if you have noone willing to pay real life money for your gold, then your gold will be worth nothing in real money terms.Not only that, as I already said, a good game is made of a lot of activities, some requiring effort and giving good rewards, some for more fun moments and so on.
If you put real money conversion into the equation, then people will want the most efficient way to make in game money, which means that everyone will farm the best way, not for the fun of playing, but for the need of gold to be converted in real money, stripping away all the fun from the game itself.
Moreover, if games already tend to attract elitists who spit on casual gamers for their non-optimal efficiency, imagine if real money is at stake, you would have the most toxic community ever made in a game.As a closure, many games already tried that and either ended up removing real money output feature (I'm looking at you, Diablo 3) or regretted ever implementing it.
It's not good, it turns a game into a job, and honestly I doubt any game will ever pay me well as my job.
Your example of the Bitcoin is perfect, in fact Bitcoin is bad for the same reason.
In a closed economic system in order for you to gain 100 from nothing, someone else around the world has to lose 100.
Nothing is generated from nothing, if you gain, someone loses, and statistically there are few big entities that gain a lot and a lot of small entities that end up losing.Sorry, but in my opinion it just wouldn't work, no matter how many in-game lore you put behind it, like building special places for the auction house or implementing wars around it, whatever you do, people will only think about one thing: making real life money, and that will strip the game of its fun.

All I read was Blah blah blah after the first 4 lines.

@GreatValdus Even if the main idea is not applied, there is no problem. It is important to discuss the ideas
We contribute to the development of this masterpiece
Other ideas are good
Your words are all true and I agree with you
-
@Stacy555 thanks for read it
-
@Jimbolini Thank you for sharing your opinion
-
@GamerSeuss Thank you for convincing me, and I agree with you that the game should not be selling gold in the game with real money now that it will destroy the game
Imagine with me, instead of selling gold, you can do all the rest, but without the combination of selling gold with real money
You can store 10 gold for a week of real time in a gold fermentation box. 10 golds will turn into a gold jewel that is worth 100 gold, but it cannot be thrown, spent or traded. You can only use them for Gold Gems Auction
The same operations will go astray with little change
If you want me to work on these ideas, tell me- The idea of selling gold with real money has been canceled
And thanks to everyone who shared his comment

Now, just to address some of the points which can be interesting, even only as base ideas for development, and maybe they are already in the dev's minds.
6 * How do you know that there is a spy on your team through the presence of a fortune teller who can speak to you with people, or to know that so-and-so person spoke with one of the followers of the king so-and-so or with the union of so and so. You must have the military intelligence force in order to maintain the security of your country. I hope this system will be added to Fractord
How can an automated system like the "fortune teller" you're talking about understand that a player is acting as a spy?
I can join a guild, its city, spy activity and report on the Discord of my main guild, and no system in game can detect me doing that.14 * Do not think that when you are an angel, everyone will respect you and that you will not be exposed to risks.
On your way back to the planet Aribeus, when you want to open the gate, which requires a minute that cannot be opened in the country, it must be outside the walls of the state and requires a minute to open it, meaning you must be protected in order to open it.
Some kings may speak to you with a tender face, but when you want to leave, they may send their soldiers to take back what they have. Now what you take is real money and everyone loves money for this. You must recruit the most skilled soldiers. Even when you return to Ariberus, you must be careful because you may meet with demons who are waiting for you to steal you.I'm not sure they've already talked about how in fact will world travel work, so it might already be like you said, with portals to be opened with modest effort and time to travel from one planet to the other.
15 * Angel and karma. When karma becomes 11,000, you can employ 11 people, when karma becomes 30,000, you can employ 30 people, and when the eclipse occurs, you can open the gate to the human planet and move all your team with you to the human planet
That idea of moving more people with angels to defend from the eclipse is not bad, but still it's early to think about world traveling in specific, since we're still testing a single world and a single race.
Maybe food for thought for developers, for the future.19 * A monster who has become a demon can open the gate from Tartarus to Ariberus on 10 seconds, and from Ariberus to Tartarus on 30 seconds.
I think you're talking about beastmen become abominations, and I think that in that case it will be even harder for them to get back to Arboreus.
22 * Try to choose a strategic location Do not build your city in any random place because of wars Do not make yourself like a chicken among four wolves
Cities are built in pre defined areas, so you'll build just where you can.
29 * Do not think that the system of selling gold will destroy the game, not my brother. Just look at the game Albion online, they are selling millions of silver for dollars. Only fractured will give us freedom so that we can control the market. And watch the numbers of players in Albion Online is increasing every day. Although they sell silver for real money, the game is not "buy to win."
Albion Online is the perfect example of how bad it is when you play to gain money and not to have fun, sadly.
33 * We want to have a goal when we play, not to play without a goal. I never play other than having fun
Goals and fun should go together, when goal is real life money, fun goes away.
34 * When I say I am a video player, I say it with pride and not with shame
That should be despise real life money, I do a lot of stuff without gaining money and I don't feel ashamed for it, it's not money that makes a person's worth.
36 * Just imagine adding a system of speaking through the speakers and headphones instead of writing on the keyboard, which takes a few seconds to give orders to your union. We want to have a group in the game that enables us to talk like a phone. In order to be easy in giving orders
Example . When the king speaks all of his people, he hears the voice of their king addressing them
It will be the best strategy game in the worldA lot of games already do that, and it will be probably implemented here too, one day, since it's the new trend.
The important thing is that it remains optional, because one might not be wanting to hear other people speaking every second.
-
@GreatValdus All your words are true, thank you, my friend
-
Unfortunatly, this is where malicious bots and hacks begins.
Real money is always a nest for toxic gamestyle.
We don't live in a respectful and mature world.I don't want to be mean, just blunt; this is just what I think...
-
That why we have cats and dogs and stay away from people
-
@dallonz88 It was just a botched idea and removed it from my brain because it would ruin the game
-
@dallonz88 It was just a botched idea and removed it from my brain because it would ruin the game I agree with you

Glad to hear gold won't be sold.

@Auromyst im sorry just mistake
