@PsyberX leadership continues to expand upon the Serfdom and Sorcery world at our very own Discord. Participants work to raise their level, steal from their comrades, and create ever-intelligent ways of innocently breaking the system. It's a fun ride, and I'm glad to join the fun.
Welcome to another PsyberX
The Calling
Players from across the Psyber X world come together on Discord to choose one of the game's three classes of players, namely: Nature, Combat, and Pillaging.
Nature
Your connection to the world, its lands, and the life that flows throughout it gives you an unparalleled advantage in resource management and collection. While the lessers of this world toil endlessly to obtain a fraction of your bounty, you revel in the ease at which you harvest.
Players selecting this class have advantages over the others. For instance, while all players can buy a pick axe and mine, nature lovers have reduced cooldowns. Additionally, the !harvest command, specific to naturists, allows these players to receive added resources.
Combat
Warriors are addicted to the grind of war. Ever-challenging themselves and the monsters they battle, warriors stand apart with enhanced fighting and defense skills. The !hammer ability, specific to the combat class, allows the warrior to perform additional mining alongside the !mine command. The !mine command is available to all users after purchasing the tool.
Pillaging
Theft is your modus operandi. Pillagers can take resources from other players without the added exertion and grinding. While all players can steal, pillagers excel at it. The !steal command cooldown is reduced for the pillaging class.
The Grind
Everyone grinds. Period. No class is spared from the toil of repetition. Gamers grind for resources, fight each other, and fight the monsters standing between them and victory. I wondered if all players were only allowed to play within their class? According to @bobthebuilder2, that might not be a hard requirement. The game developers are considering adding an option to enable players to switch classes for the proper price.
Playing the game is a good time. Personally, I don't get frustrated when the game bot crashes throughout the day. The players are in an active gaming and game-development world where the programmers get to play side-by-side as they also troubleshoot the newest bug. It's almost as if @jboss,
@enginewitty, and the others fight monsters both in the game and outside of it.
For a game that's turning out to be so fun, I don't think the players mind at all when the game stalls. Once the devs resolve the issue, people are happy to say thanks and continue grinding away. It's as perfect a world as any for a game newly created only weeks ago.
Dueling
You've consumed your last healing potion. You check your funding and see you have the 1000 DBLN needed to purchase a large healing elixir. Suddenly, your funds change to a shockingly lower value. A pillager has robbed you.
Enraged at the audacity, you challenge the thief to a duel and hand them the defeat they deserve.
Dueling allows players to fight each other to a wound or death. Unfortunately, the coding involved with the dueling option won a sudden death match with the developers. They have been defeated by the coding, but only for a time!
Resurrection
There are two ways to be resurrected in the Serfdom & Sorcery world. The first is a command available to all players: !visit_shaman. This command allows a shaman to bring you back to life and restore your health to 100. Take warning, however, as if you use this command and are not dead, your health may be lowered to 100. The second way to be resurrected in the game is to consume a revive potion. These elixirs cost 500-DBLN a piece.
Psyber X - The Thunderdome
Zeelis Prime News is the best news of choice! We'll eliminate the competition to make sure of it! No one can handle your information like Escam Handler!
Come one, come all!
Prime Minister Acheron Birsha welcomes you to
The Announcer
Escam Handler lay semi-conscious upon his spacious couch. His gas mask, fastened tightly upon his manicured face, fed cleansed air into his body. The air was cool and clean, unlike the toxins in the Arena. He deserved this treat. Since his management, profits at the Arena have been at an all-time high. He was becoming the Minister's favorite. After all, he was the star of Zeelis Prime News - the only news worth experiencing on Zeelis.
Nights at the Arena were rough on his lungs. The gas pumped into the local atmosphere kept the crowd culled until it was time for the blood rage experienced during the fights. The Minister ran these games in such a manner for a reason, though it escaped Escam's understanding. So many people died during the death matches. It seemed to be a waste.
"Mr. Handler"
A beautifully cold and inhuman voice violated his mind. It was the AI communicators doing the Minister's bidding. It was time to present the main event. And what an event it shall be. The main event consists of just two Zeelit-by products: The Alpha T-27, captured at last, and the mutant youngling it sought to protect. The Zeelis scientists remade the youngling anew and more than a match for its once-protector.
The announcer smiled as he proceeded to the arena.
