Meaning 18 quadrats, a rather large lot for a smallholder. For comparison, the Royal Palace is on 21 q, and the House Of Magnificence (the second-most-prestigious Royal holding currently) is on 9 q.


Done.

Major auction of many Smooth QC assets

That is a great idea, perhaps I will split that property I bought into some smaller shops for those who may want to come into the area but don't want to spend that much.  I just searched for 18q on the wiki site and this thread, but I came up empty-handed. Would anyone be so kind as to point me to the form, and I will then pour over it? Thanks

The road was paved... you don't mean the one from Borough 5 to Ye Olde Town??! That would be quite exciting if so.

I would like to make a couple donations to help out the community I am joining.

Firstly, I would like to send 10,000,000 moneritos to the Monero House, because I can't wait to see what the devs bring out shortly!

I would also like to donate 10,000,000 moneritos to the University, because science.

If you cannot fill the 18q yourself, you can always split it up and list the spinoff lots for sale! Admins are entitled to ask a few million for the service but might do it for free if you explain clearly and ask nicely

This is the way to create action in the area which has high plans but not much reality yet.

Did you see the road was just paved!

After joining the game, this stuff is still beyond the learning ladder for the novice. Could you lay it out for us late early adopters if any other benefits than the "Ancient" title are available against transferring XMR to the game by the end of the ancient era - either directly against a simple transfer, or through making the funds work through ingame investments?

Things such as

- purchasing gold
- purchasing stone
- purchasing / building facilities
- etc.

(Probably repeated clarification of) the cost ratio incentive as compared to the time after ancient era would be appreciated, thank you.

As a businessman, I am always on the lookout for what could become a wonderful row of shops and eateries. I was looking to purchase the area next to the youth center in the Old Town, but it was quite expensive. However, the value that is found in buying land in 5-N seemed quite good, and I was able to get the area I desired with access to both the 30m and 10m avenues, and I am more than happy. I can't help but think in later years and decades, this area will be highly prized due to its proximity to Ye Olde Town. There are even rumors of a road being built to Ye Olde Town!

I can hear the future patrons as I doze, looking at my new land, "A’ shall answer it. Some pigeons, Davy, a couple of short-legged hens, a joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws, tell William cook."

I implore all you who are in this game or who have just started--this area will undoubtedly be most wonderful, if only a few more citizens would develop it. I hope to see you around the streets in Borough 5 soon.

For this interested in buying large amounts of land inexpensively, Smooth Quarry Corp has consistently auctioned off its quarry sites  once quarring is complete. This will also be the case for the current site at 5-E as well, in a few years. The last one sold for 900 million, if I recall correctly, or only 6 million/q.

+2 culture for the story.

If I were in a situation with some money to spend on scooping land, I'd be definitely interested in the HM deals in 3 (Culture&Science Borough) - a lot of 4 quadrats, 2 sides open to the main street, costs only 90 facing south, 70 facing north. Hard to beat the value in 3-E!

If a bit more money could be spent, the land in 5-N is absolutely stunning. Facing a 30 m(!) wide avenue, and a E-W main connecting street, 18 quadrats for 400 is a steal. Just today one was sold.


The newcomer's guide to land investing
---------------------------------------------
The Town is always required to have entire Chapelries (150 q) for sale for 1,000 million. Because good ones are taken when they come to market, the ones actually for sale are the most distant ones.

When new places open, land it typically around 20 million per q, unless it is the best location in the borough, then up to 50 million or more.

In the Old Town, land costs between 100-400 million per q.

Even free land is available though, in the 4. Borough, just claim it by building on it!

Retracing his steps, Mooo walks through the city with a keener eye, wide eye bewilderment giving way to inquisitive curiosity. After a few nights' rough sleeping in what he now knows to be the King's Park, he is intent on using his savings on his own house in the city.
At first, the opulence and grandiosity of the buildings seem daunting, but after a few hours, he has managed to spot a couple places of interest.
Determined to make the most of this day, Mooo's steps carry him further and further from the town center, to the less populated boroughs. It is a difficult task to remember everything, as the city is so large.
At the end of the day, Mooo walks back to the old town, and sneaks back into the King's Park to lie down unseen against a large tree trunk, shielded from the lazy wind by thick hardy shrubs.
Exhausted by the day's travels, Mooo lets his mind run through his findings, but soon falls prey to a deep sleep.

I'm very excited to be involved with this game.  I think I will go read the entire thread in great detail now   I will also start looking into the house designer, that sounds like quite a lot of fun.

The final ancient years: 1590

Things are going as planned, with me being the major bottleneck. Since the listing of gold to the major cryptocoin exchange will coincide with the release of the game, we have to make sure the game is in good shape. We cannot rely on the original plan to release first and iron out the kinks later, since we only have one moment in the sun.

Luckily all who matter, understand this very well and we have seen unprecedented activity in the game, especially the building side, with players ordering thousands of XMR worth of buildings. Also several new players have entered in, and gold price has creeped up due to their buys.

Existing Buildings

It is now confirmed that the existing building floor plans & facade views are exported from the current to the new game in a fixed spreadsheet format, so that the floors and facades are in predetermined places in the tab. Also id's are used to easily identify and integrate them. I will be providing this to the converters in the proverbial "soon". It will be based on Lot, not per Building, because the online game is functioning with a Lot as the basic unit.

Promotions in 1590

The Marquess of Forte Spagnolo has been promoted Prince. "The Prince has recently been nominated Councillor and the "CEO of the game" (a position emphasizing his role as the glue between technical and storytelling development). The Prince is the 2nd-largest gold owner due to his strong role in the early financing of the technical development. If both he and we weren't so busy, he would be one of the largest owners of everything."

The Earl of Arda has been promoted Marquess. "The Marquess of Arda is a long-term game supporter who pours all his income in culture generation via his School for Nobility. His palace is also one of the finest in the game, 400 sqm with access to King's Park. In addition, he has commenced a great development in his haw in 1-NE (16 q), a greenhouse with all-glass walls will be built to increase the horticultural science and culture production even more, and providing accommodation to the workers."

Baron kronicblazer has been created Earl. "Out of many excellent Barons in the game, The Earl of (insert earldom here) has shown a keen interest in the game and has a quite commendable economy and sizable amount of gold in his possession."

Honors in 1590

Sir Jacket, the Prince of North Face has been awarded the King's Hero Medal (KH), previously awarded only once to the Marquess of Ramsey in 1555. "The Prince has recently taken over as the Financial Manager of the Town (ingame assets), and is a pillar in both the gameplay, in helping the newcomers, in transitioning to the online version, produced half of the science and what not."

Farewell, my loving people.

I would like to play this game as well. My name would be noms. I am a businessman that likes to buy and sell items, as well as setup a small shop and perhaps a pub. I'd like to get a small house, and be able to outfit it with items that remind me of various events in the game.

How would noms join?

Land and building costs are transacted in moneritos. You could always sell the CKG later for moneritos, or just deposit more XMR.

Right now the game exists in the 2 databases listed in OP, this thread, in freenode IRC at ##crypto-kingdom, and in the minds of almost 100 players joined to date. The website has been in development during this startup period.

If you want to join the game just PM me with your desired character's nickname, age, sex (M/F). I will also issue a payment ID for Monero deposits, in case you would like to buy any in-game assets such as land or gold.

So, how can one join and play the game? No website? Critical info not easily accessible from the 1st page of thread.

The typical way to get stone is to wander to the Lucky Lion building, 4th floor. There is a plush but aging office of Luigi's Stone Dealership, which has been converted to a generic den for stone dealers and their offers.

In the Game Database, it is located in the tab /trade_stone and the procedure is as follows:
- buy the cheapest offer in the Borough you need the stone
- if there's none available there, but it from somewhere else and make the transport yourself
- for both, you need an admin to conduct the trades/operations.

Stone is hard to get in the swamps so Avitohol is buying some for his new house. He'll also need additional stone for further fortification of the swamps and his house. Total of 150-250k depending on the price and transportation. Someone selling stone? PM me with your offer.

The Most Ancient and Wise Community of the Monero House

The first organization character created to the game, Monero House, is feeling the renaissance.

The organization was established and the House was built in 1-C-A3 in 1450, almost 14 decades ago. The House was designed to be 2-story with 2 mezzanines, but due to the haste in constructing it for the Golden Jubilee, only HG The Bishop and the King were contacted for donations. They split the cost of construction and the lot was donated by the Town. Only the lower half of the House was constructed, and it stands to this day.

The House has a Monero Info Center, a Tavern with a cabinet, and some offices/hotel rooms. The Monero House hotel was the first hotel in the town, closing after 100 years of operation in 1550. The Monero House is proud of its shrewd manager (MGR-5) who is currently leased to HM The King, and is administering the Royal Household, one of the largest households in the game with a 10 NPC strong management and 67 million annual expenditure.

What is happening now is that the Hall of Fame, formerly residing in BCT, will be transferred to CK with all its prizes and privileges. The people who have a rank in the BCT HoF, will be credited an equal rank in the CK HoF. To make the transition possible, the holders of the ancient titles from the BCT era, will have to register to CK. Well, that is as easy as contacting the nearest administrator. For the ones that register during the Ancient era, approximately 10 real-days, the following bonuses are credited:

- 1 CKG (currently valued at about 0.3 XMR) for every 10 XMR donated during BCT HoF, + 10 CKG directly from His Majesty
- CUL points based on a formula tba
- CUL points spawn Ancient items later in the game
- Titled Ancient in the game + the rank gained in the HoF is Ancient

So yes, based on your earlier donations, you now get bonuses, valuable items that are soon listed to an exchange. That's how Monero works!
