BIG updates to Serfdom and Sorcery

in #hive-140217last year

As many of you know and have seen, we have continuously been working hard on our Discord game Serfdom and Sorcery - an 'always-on' text battler RPG where players can earn tokens, buy items and level up their character to battle monsters in the quest to be the best.

One of the main challenges we have faced is exploitive behavior from players (mostly from outside of the HIVE ecosystem). Did I mention that this game is a HIVE onboarding magnet that we are starting to get featured in Discord's that are not even HIVE related? More on that another day.

Today our strategies to combat bad behavior completely change - so read on to find out more!

Changes to DBLN: in-game STAKING requirements

Our benevolent Overlord has finished coding the ability to stake DBLN tokens in-game (fully explained down below), and this is going to change things - and the biggest change will be that multi-accounts are now permitted.

We are still not all that happy with bots, and our terms + service still allows us to ban players that we discover are botting. But an 'official bot license' is in the works, so that it will be available to everyone with a small subscription fee. This should bring full circle our anti-abuse cycle of development for this stage of the roadmap, and these staking requirements are an essential element that will now allow us to sleep better on that front.

Let's dig in.

Withdraws of DBLN require in-game staking

From now on, withdraws of tokens to HIVE (or other chains 👀) will be limited based on the amount of DBLN a player has staked in the game. The current formula for this is the following:

There are clear tiers here, which give more benefits to those players who are more committed to the game. This should soak up a bit of DBLN token in the mean time while we get back to work on adding new in-game features, quests and options.

An additional benefit, for those who have at least 300k DBLN tokens staked in game, is 10 Huge potions delivered every 24 hours. This is also subject to change, but keep this in mind as an example of additional benefits we will be offering to those players who show the committment to stake tokens in game. They will be able to do more and get farther, faster.

Desired effects

With this change, we are sure that we will not have to waste nearly as much time hunting and tracking exploiters - after all saving time is the point of automation! By putting the right incentives in place, we will be able to free up our time to get back to doing what we love and what we do best - building and improving great gaming experiences for our players - as well as marketing the cool things we have to offer to a wider audience, especially outside of HIVE.

The HIVE ecosystem remains small, unnoticed, and extremely powerful. Our PsyberVerse gaming ecosystem will continue to expand and Serfdom and Sorcery is quickly becoming the premier 'bridge to HIVE' that players from around the world can access with only a Discord account.

Big number results are still in the small 'start-up' phase. But as we continue to move forward, and as the market's turn from cold winter to budding spring - we will see these efforts pay off into huge dividends, of this we are completely confident.

Feel free to leave your questions, concerns and compliments to our team down in the comments - it means a lot to each member of our small but hard-working team. And if you haven't already, come into our Discord to say hello, and don't forget to !register for Serfdom and Sorcery!

Huge step in the right direction, it's hard to keep up with the fast development and new commands/features. Which is a luxury to have really hehe

Seeing this expand outside of hive is incredible as it's a part that Hive has always been struggling with, onwards! keep it up team

yo recomiendo que busquen formas de quemar el token y no de estar nerfeando todo lo que ya an hecho, por que de verdad si quieren que la gente siga en el proyecto y que el proyecto se mantengan mejor creen una forma que haga que la gente queme sus token y no de meter nerf que solo afectaran a los que tienen pocas cosas y a los free, lo único que veo es que buscan metodos que no beneficie a los jugadores de baja inversión y no a las ballenas, solo miren el precio del token y se darán cuanta por ustedes mismo, cuando pusieron la ultima actualización del staking no subio casi nada ya que las ballenas ya tienen token y nosotros los de bajo recursos no vamos a comprar tanta cantidad de token sabiendo que van a meter nerf y nerf sin niciquiera hacer una votación, espero no me baneen por dar mi opinión hahaha

Bro nadie se ha consigido el ban por opinar.

Cada compra en el juego es un 'burn'.

Votar los posts de los jugadores hacemos ahora, pero solo cuando escriben del juego y lo compartan.

Sigue siendo gratis jugar y ganar, solo hay que esperar un poco mas para retirar.

Estamos siempre pendientes sus observaciones.

Hi, I have a question. Are these withdrawal limits daily? Thank you!

Daily, yes.

thanks!

Just keeps getting better, love the potions for staking in the game!

Be ready for the July edition of the Hive Power Up Month!
Hive Power Up Day - July 1st 2023

My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services.

I've just updated v4v.app and I'm getting ready for some exciting new features after the next hard fork.

Please consider asking your friends to vote for prop #265 or consider unvoting the return vote.

For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I'll also add that I power up Hive every day and usually power up larger amounts on 1st of the Month. I'm on Hive for ideological reasons much more than for only economic benefit.

Additionally you can also help with a vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner

If you have used v4v.app I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.
