Seems legit sign me up.

Seriously though I bet someone will make 5 digits flipping pixel real estate for this crazy scam.

EDIT: Wait they are actually selling respect as a currency. This is going to be loving spectacular.

quote:

The currency players can buy is called the SP, or Standing Point. As you might expect, you can use SP in lieu of in-game gold when needed, but that’s not really what SP is for. As the name suggests, SP is a way to track who is invested in the world: People with SP are people who have a standing in Theleston and care about its future.

I painfully sat through the 3 part interview from mmorpg and I still don't know what the game is about.

They said they're quickly making assets without thinking much about what they're doing yet, and that later they're really confident they'll put actual effort into that soon.

Players have karma, towns have karma, karma effects if towns are destroyed or how the world reacts to towns and players - but they're still trying to nail down the system but they're really confident they'll figure it out soon.

They plan to have GMs on every server that act as gods and can mess with players though (they're unclear how they're going to staff this but they're really confident they'll find a solution to that soon) they'll serve the role of banning trolls in their murder sex simulator.

Also there will be mobile minigames to level up skill points on characters so if you want to play the same minigame over and over you can level that skill but they don't want it to become boring and they're really confident they'll find a solution to that soon.

Also players will be able to import their own models into the game but it has to go through Q&A review so it will cost money to import your content into their murder sex simulator but they're really confident they'll nail down the details of that soon.

Seriously though I'm not sure what to think of this. I get that they are selling virtual houses, but it seems like there are going to be many servers. How the gently caress is that going to work? What if both I and some other nerd purchase #69 Harlot Ave? Or does this mean you own that pixel space ship house on every server?

It looks like the house purchase page thingy lets you pick a server. The real question is can you gently caress and poop at the same time.

Once you have a complex loving system in your game, that's the only thing that will be in your game. Every expansion will only get worse. Ten years from now, when goons invade and attempt to create a 50 man human centipede, they'll find out that's the most highbrow cultural event in years.

It has non-instanced housing? I love housing! :peanut:

https://www.revivalgame.com/store/housing :what:

A basic house costs 200 real life US dollars? ??? Okay, you can get a one room hovel for under $100, but with all the rape I don't want a house where it looks like a stiff breeze will knock down the front door. It also looks like you don't get 'upgradable rooms' in anything less than a house, and it looks like upgradeable rooms are the ones that can be turned into a useful workshop, laboratory or kitchen, so they are probably gating some of the crafting through houses.

I don't think they thought through what would happen when a whale (big money player) discovers their expensive house can be destroyed during a world event.

If your house is destroyed it is your own fault if you didn't buy insurance.

What Is Homeowners Protection?

Homeowners protection is a subscription-based option players can purchase to safeguard their property against the many potentially destructive events than can unfold in the Revival world. With live storytelling and other dynamic features, it is very possible your home could be destroyed in many different ways. To protect against these unfortunate events, players may purchase homeowners’ protection to ensure that their investment will be protected. This will allow them to replace their house at another open location (of equal or lower value) throughout the world of Revival. Players who do not purchase homeowners’ protection will be given a coupon for a credit against purchase of a new house, to help ease the pain of such a loss, but will not be fully reimbursed.

Don't be a chump. When you buy a house you become a Founder. Founders get a coupon for 10% a future house purchase. So you buy a 'cheap' $36 tenement, so you can save $44 off your $443 manse. What a deal! Maybe you can become a landlord and sublet that tenement to filthy casuals.

They are actually pretty houses. It's just that any game with loving is going to have a playerbase that will make other MMOs look like well adjusted human beings by comparison.

The concept itself isn't bad, aside from the shitfucking bit. It's also still just a concept made by a company that has, as of yet, failed to deliver an FPS based on the Crysis engine.

Also shitfucking.

Yeah. :( I used to play text MUDs and MUSHes and the idea of a RP MUD but with graphics just makes me want to squee. I know it is going to be a disappointing clusterfuck though. It probably won't ever be playable, and even if it is it will be terrible.

On the other hand, I kept playing Archeage for 9 long months because I didn't want to give up my pretty house. I'll put up with a lot of terrible bullshit for a pretty house. I should probably just give up on MMOs and play The Sims.

There are no fixtures in any of the houses except for torches. Not even a water pump. So either that is an add on you can buy later, or you're supposed to use chamber pots. You can't see the outside of the houses to see if they have outhouses or wells. An outhouse is just a place for a rapist to wait and catch you with your pants down, so you probably wouldn't want to use them anyway.

So this game has been in "development" for two years and this is the same company that was heading up the star citizen fps module. I bet they went all alien colonial marines on the star citizen developers for this amazing product.

lFonic stands at an interesting crossroads with Revival. We have devised a schedule that is lain out to give us plenty of time to make Revival the game we want to make, without compromise. However, due to limited funding it will take us much longer to get to where we want to be. As we have chosen to do this ourselves, funding Revival will not be an easy task, but our vision is absolutely something that can be achieved with time and patience. When you purchase items and objects early, you help us get Revival made faster. Your participation allows us to put more funding towards a bigger team, technology shortcuts, outsourced assets and more. We will take the long hard road to make this badass game happen, but all of the help we get from the gaming community will only get us there faster. We are not doing a kickstarter or initial fund-raising program for Revival because we want to keep true to our vision, and take the slow and steady road to completion whether or not we garner additional funding.

You buy housing on a specific server. Some servers will be free to play, some will have a monthly subscription but there is no info yet on what the monthly subscription will be. What happens if you bought a house on a gold server, but then don't want to pay for a monthly sub?

Considering they're not really doing anything that can't be achieved within CryEngine's default functionality, I don't doubt their ability to create a game like this, but they better have some side projects lined up and they better be getting some of that Chris Roberts money to sustain the wages for the next two years.

This is what bothers me about the whole gold server thing. If I were to spend $30 on a house, that's fine, but will I like the game enough to pay $15/monthly to access my $30 house?

They said the living content stuff is gold server only, but I want to see that in action before I limit myself to that server.

LOL, $30 dollar house. The cheapest unheated tenement room in the most dangerous neighborhood is $34. https://www.revivalgame.com/store/housing/500257 And the crime rating is so high you are basically guaranteed to get robbed, raped and murdered every day. An identical shabby room in a safer neighborhood is $41. A basic furniture package is $5 more.
