Serfdom & Sorcery Weekly Update

in #hive-140217last year

We've been busy...

Over this last week (25 June 2023 - 1 July 2023) we have added the following commands:

- !stake (amount):

This allows you to stake DBLN inside the game. By staking DBLN, you increase how much you're able to withdraw from the game, daily. In order to slow down token farmers (who aren't here to play the game but to only farm the token), we have decided that having a staking mechanism in the game slows the withdrawals and strengthens the underlying token value. Staking DBLN in game gives some perks we are still programming, namely:

(the first iteration of code)

Here are the withdrawal allowances based on a player's staking amounts:

  • Players with 10,000 - 99,999 staked tokens, they can withdraw 1% of their staked tokens.
  • Players with 100,000 - 499,999 staked tokens, they can withdraw 10% of their staked tokens.
  • Players with 500,000 - 999,999 staked tokens, they can withdraw 10% of their staked tokens.
  • Players with 1,000,000 or more staked tokens, they have an unlimited withdrawal limit.

- !beginunlock

Because we now have a staking mechanism in the game, we also needed a way to unstake the holdings. It will take 30 days for the holdings to be removed from the staked holdings, turning the previously staked holdings to liquid tokens.

- !checkstakedtokens

This will allow you to see how many DBLNs you have staked in total. You can also see this number when you use the !stats command.

Multiple Accounts are now allowed

We have been watching for multiple accounting and botting in the game since the beginning. After much consideration and review, we believe that multiple accounts has not been an issue and are now allowing it.

!whitelist Removed

Now that we have the withdrawal system determined by staking, we no longer need the whitelisting command. It was done only by admins, so it is one less concern, streamlining our processes.

!smith

We have a developer who has programmed the !smith command, which allows those who own an anvil to collect a portion from pickaxe sale proceeds.

!refine

For players with the Combat expertise, you can now create steel using the !refine command. You can either save up the steel to create a mining complex or you can sell it to the market. A player must also have the Steelsmith job/career to refine steel.

!sellsteel (number) - OR - !buysteel (number)

These commands allow you to sell steel if you have some and buy some if you don't. The price to buy steel is 3x the price you get for selling it. The same is for wood. The price is determined based on supply and demand. The more supply, the lower the cost. The lower the supply, the higher the cost for buying and selling, whether it be steel or wood.

!buildminingcomplex

With 500 wood and 500 steel, a player is able to create a mining complex on their property. Every hour, a mining complex will produce a randomly generated amount of DBLN. There is no limit to the number of mining complexes a player can have. Each mine is currently programmed to mine 50-100 DBLN per mining.

!fixcomplexes

This command will repair the mining complex when it is requiring maintenance.


We have so much more planned. Come play with us on Discord and join in on the fun! We have expanded to over 7 servers. If you have a server where you'd like to have Serfdom & Sorcery available, connect with us on our Discord channel for more details. Who will be next? @wrestorgonline? @risingstargame?...

Good Luck!



Liquidity Pool DBLN:LVL

Serfdom & Sorcery has been linked to LVL via the Liquidity Pool DBLN:LVL. That means you can purchase DBLN with LVL, or you can swap LVL for DBLN. In either case, you will be ready to play any of the games provided by the Psyber-X team. I personally swapped some LVL to !claimthrone in order to get my own castle in Serfdom & Sorcery. Perhaps you will earn some DBLN in the game and trade it for LVL in preparation for placing a wager in Psyber-Decks. You could also use the LVL:Swap.ETH Liquidity Pool to get some ETH or to start moving ETH to DBLN. Imagine that...DBLN for Ethereum. Makes me want to go !mine and !fish some more.

Go Pick Up Some DBLN Now

There were 2500 farms available for purchase in Serfdom & Sorcery. Each one has a daily payout of 500 DBLN which you can use to buy more potions, a pickaxe, or a myriad of other things. There may be upkeep to keep those farms pumping out DBLN at such a high rate in the future, but for now, they are wonderful little plots...We will be turning all farms and castles into non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hive blockchain so that all of you who missed out on the sale will be able to purchase one on the second hand market in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled. The castles in particular get a very specific NFT. Are you fit to wear the crown?


Want to become the King?

When you reach level 100, you earn the rank of King. You'll have to battle many ferocious monsters along the way. Will it be worth it? No doubt!

Serfdom and Sorcery was created by the makers of Psyber-X. It is a very new game, yet it is already the best Hive game on Discord! It is just a game, even though it is an awesome game. If you choose to play, remember that it is in an alpha stage where commands are being updated and created often. Some commands are changed to bring them into balance. Please inform us of any bugs you may encounter via our room for this purpose. It is not an investment. It is fun. Lecture over ;)
Sort:  

If I stake a million DBLN tokens with the intention of occasionally withdrawing my earnings, what will happen when I decide to unstake them? Will I be unable to withdraw that entire million due to the staking requirement? Do I need to utilize the tokens within the game? How does this process work? Moreover, if I no longer wish to continue playing the game, am I able to retrieve my assets and exit? I would appreciate clarification on these aspects.

You Know... personally I think this staking mechanism appears to prioritize token farming prevention over the convenience and satisfaction of players. It introduces unnecessary barriers for me as a player and the overall satisfaction drops. I believe many players share the same concerns, and it's possible that we will witness a significant number of individuals deciding to discontinue playing as a result of this. We will see..

Staking will continue to have benefits added.
Staking was originally put in to fight against bot farms, and multi accounts. (You are correct)
Otherwise we would face what many other games have been killed/drained by.

If someone wanted to move their stake off the platform, I would be more than happy to accommodate.

That is why I love this project and the team and why I stick around = always helpful! Thanks 😎

I can't speak for them of course, but I have a feeling that if anyone genuinely wanted or needed to exit, it would be taken care of. My impression in the short time I've been there is that the team is flexible, helpful, and not out to force people to continue if they want out.

I agree, the team are very helpful. Things might sort out :)

Since multiply accounts are allowed, is bots also allowed now or only multiply accounts?

Only multiple accounts. No bots

Okay. Thanks!

So that is what mining complexs are. Nice little feature. Might need to make one/buy one

I like the rewards that you get from staking, now every day you get plenty of huge potions to help you level up.

So it is only potion you get from staking?

It is not an investment. It is fun. Lecture over ;)

Why can't it be a fun investment :) ? Those are the best kind?

I'm loving the new facet that wood and steel are bringing :) ...
