I still think a fork with a new concept needs to be something completely new. Not CK anymore. Why even use the name CryptoKingdom if there is no King / Kingdom? Why not take a new name and just buy the Agora Market database / setup from CK and then fill it up with new charming items?
CK as a kingdom can then go on with the effort of Speed, our King and others willing to work out the debt thing.
It's not a new concept. It is still a medieval simulation. It will still be the same CK at its core, and at minimum the maps/lands/properties are being moved over. Most definately CANnabis too! And we have to keep the FOIE gras I'd say!
Really, I think how the game was structured pre-Ultima deserves a solid look. Yes, some aspects like the NPC consumption and STOne creation need to be automated (rather than worked on in a spreadsheet), but looking back on the thread and game history at the time, it looked like overall it was a "tighter" game design. Once Ultima came online, Risto kept adding modules and items that ultimately had no point as it was easier to do so.
Additionally, there is a lot of crypto history (specifically XMR-based) in CK: just look at all the names of the properties. Like David Latapie's land is still in CK. He had a lot to do with the early founding of XMR and he's unfortunately no longer with us. I think it's worth carrying this sort of lineage forward.
Overall, there is still a kingdom
