Found new mmo called Star Atlas

[cybernut]

Seems there's another mmo/mmorpg that has a real cash economy or RCE called Star Atlas.  Don't know too much about it yet and haven't signed-up to it, but here's some links:-

Like the sound of it.  Will take a good look at their site and such.

Thanks.   Will had more details as I get more info.

Just had a good look at it also including some vids on a tube site.  Seems you need a crypto wallet to sign-up to it though.

Looks like a very interesting game.  Four wallets are fully supported, another three have limited support - but if you don't have a wallet at all, I suppose you can't play...

Nice presentation but a little wary of anything that would show off a pretty website and connect itself to crypto/NFTs. I realise that could be a bit foot shooting but there's been so many of this sort of thing going on it's pretty much a cookie cutter scam now to pay someone to make a fancy credible looking website for something that looks too good to be true then see who you can get to buy stuff for/related to it in advance of any game code ever being written. I mean, just look at how many spaceships for star citizen were sold on nothing more than a fancy painting.

Interested but will only keep a casual and cautious eye on.

According to this info(click on 'game overview' beneath 'connect wallet' button then scroll down to Inventory) the crypto wallet is used as an in-game inventory, but they could have done an ordinary API for that. It's also indeed very Star Citizen-ish, in that there's an out-of-game market place for spacecraft and such.

Looks to me like a crypto/cryengine-scam and not a real scifi game. What we have here are some convincing 3d cgi mock-ups. Anyone expecting an actual game to ever materialise I suspect will be sorely disappointed alas. It has all the hallmarks... let's face it, if someone was actually developing a space game here... they'd have more to show for it than a fancy website.

What I'm starting to think maybe, but will have a small punt on next ship sale (few opal jets to start $20 each), see if what i been told by people already with ships tallies with my experience. I'll even put something up here so people can follow what happens , but low cost to see.

Total fleets deployed: 63,204
Total Value Locked: $ 100,358,841

Those figures though on their discord made me look a little harder, will post more as i find.
