Nov 19, 2012 – 10 days left and Greed Monger
for PC and Mac (
www.greedmonger.com) is
trending for an excess of $85,000 in funding and all kickstarter
backers will receive their very own horse as well as two special
starter weapons as the first series of stretch goals are reached.
With less than $5,000 to go, the completion of the first stretch
goal is almost guaranteed, and will unlock the second terrain type:
Deserts. The Greed Monger Kickstarter is your only chance to buy
land without limits, so whether you want a small estate or a
gigantic guild, there's a package for everyone at
http://kck.st/TXKUKS.
Imagine, if you will, a land teeming with life; forests, rivers,
animals, monsters… and nothing else. No buildings. No
people. Welcome to Greed Monger, a land that will literally be
shaped by its players, where unlimited opportunity and infinite
danger lurks on the horizon of every footfall. Opportunities for
land ownership are limited and will allow players to construct
homes, castles, hunting grounds, shops, and more.
In Greed Monger the first players will set foot into an
unpopulated world and begin building the foundations of
civilization. With crude tools made from bones and wood, and huts
made of little more than mud and hay, will flourish true
civilization that will advance over time. A unique dynamic quest
system will establish towns, cities, inns, and more. Players will
battle, loot, and tame the land, expanding ever further into the
vast wildernesses of harsher climates in their quest for ever
better tools to continue their conquest. Combat is not the end, it
is merely the beginning, as players will join together to construct
massive structures, beautiful works of art, and create the very
story within the game.
Greed Monger is a free to play experience, where players can
fight, hunt, and gain skills as much as they want. If a player
desires they can purchase a land parcel, which will allow them to
construct their very own house, trader stall, and more. After this,
a player can sell their land and the structures on it in a real
cash transaction, giving real world impact to their virtual
lives.
The kickstarter event still has 10 days to go! This is the only
opportunity to purchase large scale land parcels. After the event
closes, purchases will be limited to a set number of land areas.
For single players, gain access to the game and a plot of land for
as little as $25. For guilds, from $300 you can own a 16 player
guild with 16 parcels of land and have your village on the world
map at the start. This goes all the way to the grand daddy of them
all, a $3,500 Royal Castle on your own 60 parcel island with access
to 65 of your guildmates. No matter your budget or if you are in a
guild, there's a package for everyone. Find out more at
