Where can I find more information about CryptoKingdom, especially about how to play the game? I registered on the site a few months ago, but I couldn't figure out what to do next.
It is actually somewhat elusive at the moment, just like Bitcoin in 2010. Our thread in altcoin section is a good resource to start and we are soon opening the registration of new characters which has been closed for months, as we have made the game better and ready to accept new people.
Is your game based on monero or bitcoin?
Is it the ingame currency, that would sound like a nice feature.
Crypto Kingdom uses Monero as ingame currency.
Wow. How come I've just now heard of this? Is it like a faucet inside of a game? Or is XMR used to buy upgrades for better equipment in the game?
It's both although I'm not sure whether the planned faucet function (where you earn some small amount of ingame XMR for each hour of play) is enabled yet.
It uses monereto as the unit of account and ingame transactional currency in every virtual world style transaction including better equipment but also food, drinks, rent, gold, land and stocks. Moneretos are transferred in the CK server system instantaneously and freely from a CK character to another. It is possible to buy more moneretos by depositing XMR to the treasurer, it is also possible to withdraw when you have an excess and you want to.
This 100% hard reserve system (the about 100,000,000,000 moneretos in the game are fully backed by 100,000 XMR) is to keep the game honest and based on value that cannot be created out of thin air at the discretion of the developers, and it is helping the game economy to be solid as well which it is.
There is currently a "faucet" giving automatic free money to all players below a certain rank (high-ranking players end up paying for it
)The thing smooth mentioned that value is given per hour of play, is true as well but that one is not giving XMR rather CKG, another type of asset.
