Topic: [ANN] [PRSC] Parsec Frontiers – a virtual galaxy MMO blockchain - page 5. (Read 3174 times)

As you may know, the server backend for MMOs with "a lot" of players is very demanding - which is why MMOs often go down when they launch or in other ways experience server problems. Artplant's server technology for Battlestar Galactica Online initiated in development in 2010, and when BGO launched the server worked flawlessly for 6 months before a planned maintenance break. That is pretty stellar in the MMO world.

The project concept was finished in June 2017, and since then we have been working on detailing the project, assembling the team, building partnerships and starting with the blockchain technology architecture. It is still early stage, this Pre-Sale is the absolutely first round of funding for the project.

Advantages of this project vs other ICOs:
Great question. First of all, most game related projects are trying to be a platform in one way or another. This is an appeal to the traditional VC/fund way of thinking - a business that scales. However, the fact that blockchain games/worlds are in nature decentralised and "owned" by the token holders instead of companies trying to profit, means that such a project has every incentive to develop its own technology and not make someone else rich unless the project absolutely need the solution. So, instead of platforms it is better to invest in Decentraland, Parsec Frontiers and others that form the front lines of blockchain gaming.

As in the real world - money is backed by an economy. Cross-world tokens makes no sense, as you could just as well use a mainstream cryptocurrency instead. Instead, each game or virtual world will have its own token. And joining a project means that you will have to evaluate the project on its own merits.

Parsec Frontiers is a project with grand ambitions. We are building a copy of the Milky Way, gamified with exploration, resource extraction, combat and empire building. All assets are on a blockchain, fully verifiable - which means the economy will have the confidence of all players. This transparency makes it easier to form an opinion on what resources are over- or undervalued. And connecting the token with exchanges makes it easy to move money in and out of the virtual world.

Blockchain-based virtual worlds and gaming worlds will become a HUGE part of the blockchain future. When everyone is FUDing about cryptocurrencies not having any real value or function - that is where a blockchain-based game is completely different. Inside of the world both assets and tokens have a real value and provides advantages and ownership in a way that all participants of that world will place a value on. The value will of course be up to the players/participants to decide - in a free, open and transparent market.

Another virtual reality game, are you sure you're on the right track? With so many RPG games in the internet what makes your games different from all of them? Well of course aside from your game that incorporates with crypto and blockchain, is there anything else that makes you game differ from all those games?

Is this project for games here? Or hat should we do here can you tell me what can i do here coz i really want to play games here

Will the project start in 2010? Why until now ICO open source project calling for capital?
What are the advantages of the project compared to other ICOs?

Wow this project may succeed. I believe in the potential of Parsec Frontiers. People should know about this online game. I'm really into games since chilhood. Specially in todays days, online games is widely spread, so people are looking for something unique. I will look forward to this project.

The game has a gradual rollout of modules: There will be auctions and trading of spaceships and mining rights from early summer 2018, but December 2018 is when travelling and exploration will be made available. Extraction of resources is scheduled for Februar 2019, crafting and production in May 2019 with December 2019 seeing the launch of PvP combat.

Haha. I'm pretty sure airdrop mostly attracts speculators and those who don't want to do anything. The best move is good advertisement.
I would recommend the team to develop at least a demo of the game so that people could try it before investing. Even so, there was a project that collected money with demo of their game and run away.
Good luck anyways.

The team is proven by creating games with millions of players many times over, but a success is never guaranteed when it comes to games.

Unlike other games with cryptocurrencies, all assets will be accounted for on the distributed ledger - which brings confidence in the economy. So, you don't have to trust that the developer will not create inflation by changing drop rates or how objects are appearing.

Combining asset transparency with the fact that money can easily enter and exit the virtual economy, and you are starting to see the outline of a completely new type of real-money skill-based game where you can actually earn a profit by playing the game if you're better than others that are playing.

Or, you can view the economy as a perfect target for trading/investing/speculation: If you're carefully watching the prices of, say, iron ore on the exchanges, you can decide that you want to make a sizeable bet on iron ore to rise - you can purchase Parsec Credits and buy iron ore on exchanges - much like you would buy (or short) a stock. So: assets inside virtual economies becomes a new asset class on its own. Much like cryptocurrency now has become a completely new asset class for fund managers.

This is all part of our vision for making a game with a deep, complex, player-controlled virtual economy - using blockchain to establish transparency and trust in the economy itself instead of trust in the game developer alone.

Another project with the game ... are You sure that the game will be successful? now a lot of MMO RPG shareware , or given they are not so many people ...

We are currently discussing listing with several exchanges, but do not expect to make an announcement about this until sometime next year.

I can see that the Parsec Credits which is a utility token which will also be tradable on some of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. What are these planned exchanges??  Bittrex?  Poloniex?

Yes, we're still considering airdrop. Expect it to take a couple of weeks before we make a final decision on  that.

still considering about airdrop,, ?
maybe this will be a good idea if you do a little airdrop for the community

i agree, but unfortunately, there are a lot of people interested in it, csgo's most expensive knife sells 23850 dollars, this is an incredible thing.

Hi, Martincic!

The studio have built quite a lot of games over the past 16 years, including Battlestar Galactica for BigPoint, so there is a lot of experience and learnings we’re bringing with us to Parsec Frontiers.

This game is all about mankinds exploration and early colonization of the galaxy, with Earth being close to uninhabitable at the start of the game. With a consistent timeline and a clear focus on exploration, research, mining and trading the game has a much more strategic element than the more dogfigthing type games like “Elite Dangerous” and the classic “X-Wing vs TIE Fighter”.

We hope you join the discussions on the game once we ramp up those on the Discord channel.

Hi, Digaran!

The game is planned to be developed in HTML5/Unity so both browsers and most modern smartphones should be good for playing the game.

With a game based on cryptostandards to build the economy you’ll also be able to earn money in the game through clever exploration, mining, trading and exploiting space to your advantage.

Join the discussions on the game specifics in the Discord channel as we move forward!

total tokens for bounty is about 1,542,838,790 PARSEC (5% of the total pre-burn supply)
so total supply is about 30,856,775,800 PARSEC,, if i'm not wrong in calculations

400 Million for bounty ? 
so, how much the total supply from this token ?

Good stuff, I have played Battle star galactica and it's a good game, but I don't like the kinds of games that are pay to win, when you could pay money to upgrade your space ships and have the best weapon and ammo, you'll get to rule the game, I might be a lowlife beggar with no dignity, but I'm not any body's bitch. lol. I like to play in the browser, if I can't do that, I wont invest on this game. I'm also a dev myself, not this kind of dev though.

What experience you get to this game from your last games?
