Thinking about developing a FOMO3D clone that solves the bot issue. Would you play something like this? What are some features you would like to see?

 :)

I would expect another great gambling experience with FOMO3D, because this is new to me and most people really seek nice idea on this game. Any features might be applicable as long the winning chances for lucky prize is always commendable.

How will you market it though?

There will always be someone ready to play fomo3d again for sure. The feeling of greed mixed with the non ability to understand how it works makes a lot of people pour in money early. I was tempted for sure when it first came out but luckily never did.

That said,,, I hope you at least make it clear it is a gambling game of pure ponzi;)

Yeah, ItMs purely chance and risk. All for a high prize at stake, and  personally I don't like FOMO3D. Though as you have mentioned, there'll be those people confident or crazy enough to gamble on FOMO. Just hoping that if he ever does make a clone of it. Advise everyone that would like to join so they can at least be aware of the huge amounts of risks they can encounter while playing this game. That way nobody will be baited and everyone who bets are sure.

NO!

FOMO3D kind of game is just like ponzi. We have seen similar or clone sites of this game but what happened? They didnt get enough attraction due to the original FOMO3d issue back in the past.

Better to find another kind of game to be developed rather than on this one.

I never thought that this kind of game would apply on ponzi, yet it was commonly be heard on usual investment schemes.
The rampant activities of ponzi must be avoided nowadays, and I think they're expanding huge coverage of trapping people with their system which deceived by ponzi tactics.
Just play games which normally gain fair results instead of risking on this kind.

I have never played fomo3d what kind of game it is?
or what to do in that game, seeing the comments of the people above me they mention something about ponzi?
is it really some kind of ponzi scheme?

Actually No! because the name Ponzi itself makes me think to avoid this site and might other thinks to avoid this to so better for you to create a different gaming idea which suitable to the taste of the gamblers.


Here read this so that you can get an idea on what is the game all about https://hackernoon.com/fomo3d-and-dangerous-game-theory-97bd5f47ab3b

honestly I am not sure what his game is all about, I tried to search the game in google and this is one of the site that came up.

Can you educate me what this is all about, I just want to know as I like to try new games.

Never heard of this type of game before and did some research regarding it and understood this is basically a high risk, high reward game where some profit a lot while the rest lose everything making this an interesting gamble in my opinion.

The developers themselves have no control over the game which is why I prefer gambling in a legit site with provably fair algorithms when compared to this game which is why I am not interested in this game.

So i read about this a bit and its a crazy amalgamation of human greed and game theory. The basis of the game is in what they call behavioral game theory which is called as the "War of attrition" and apparently, teach at HBS. Crazy suckers.
For those who don't know, the game makes you buy a key by investing ETH and starts a timer. If nobody else buys a key till timer expires, you get the jackpot. The catch is that everytime someone buys a key, the amount you spent gets added to the jackpot.
This is when your mind says, "Okay, let me buy back what i invested by buying the key again and bid high enough that somebody else won't dare". Once enough FOMO sets in (with multiple people over the internet trying to "buy" the key as well as "buy back" what they have already invested, it becomes a crazy interaction of
 thousands of emotive humans trying to outbid one another.

Sounds crazy but someone eventually won over 10K ETH out of it. Here is the nice hackernoon article (https://hackernoon.com/fomo3d-and-dangerous-game-theory-97bd5f47ab3b) if you want to read more.

Dude, that's terrible from the article I read. If people keep on putting up offers, how could it possibly stop, I mean is there a limit to their bidding?
or it will continue until no one makes an offer ?

Well, you know peoples reaction when we do talk about big jackpots or potential money making without even realizing that
they are already falling into the pit of ponzi.

Games like that in my opinion will be very easily won by the whale. They just need to have big capital and wait until the expected profit is achieved then buy it much higher so that no more people bet on it. This game is very unfriendly to those little players, so it's better to play dice haha, not to mention if people play very much.

FOMO3D is just another ponzi - as long as they have a nice flow of users coming in on a daily basis it works fine and dividends are awesome.

Once that activity slows down it gets messy.

That is the correct and accurate description of how fomo3d works but as the ad someone posted showed from the screenshot, this is just a very fancy way of playing an exit scam or hyip.

EXCEPT in hyip you can enter and exit from new money. And you can keep putting money in until the pyramid goes bust.

With Fomo3d, what nobody tells you is? Whales will win.

Imagine if you played with ETH, you wait for everybody to play and buy keys and what not. Then you as a whale, knowing you have ETH majority, come in and buy they key you know nobody else can afford. you win. And that is what happened.

I think that such schemes rode on the big rush there was to put money on ICOs. The bombastic success ETH had in terms of its price at that time allowed some old timers that now had a big stack of cash to cash out on some newbies. But now that the market is going through a bear phase for ETH, i don't believe such game would have as much traction.

The people that drove the most attention to such schemes are also out of the spotlight after the collapse that prices and some of the biggest ponzi schemes experienced. FOMO3d was more clear with its intents instead of pretending, but there still were quite a few disappointed people.

I guess that game based on the luck because I read the article on the hackernoon website, and I think we can win the game by having luck. But I don't understand how to play the game, and I prefer to stay with the usual gambling games that I am played so far because although I don't have luck, I can enjoy the games without confusing on how to play the game.

But in the other website, https://fomo3d.hostedwiki.co/ say that the game is lottery game which the last person to buy a key at the end of a round wins the pot! But I don't too understand what the meaning is.

So if the game is a lottery, I think it is better to play freebitco.in which is familiar to me to play the lottery game.

I guess a lot of people do not know about the bugs in the previous games, so I found this gem on the Internet to explain it to them, https://hackernoon.com/a-comprehensive-solution-to-bugs-in-fomo3d-like-games-ab3b054f3cc5

I think the previous bug history might count against any new games that will be relaunched, because a lot of gamblers know about the bugs. You will have to launch a massive marketing strategy to inform people that the new games are bug free and even after doing that, you might still have people who would doubt the integrity of the new gaming system.  ::)

Good luck, you are starting the new race with a handicap.  ;)

That article is pretty damning actually.

Based on this, I don't think many people would be interesting in playing FOMO3D-like games anymore.

However, if they manage to fix the bugs, make it less ponzi-like and add some credibility, there might be some potential for a revival.

I dont have any hopes for that possible revival.People already know about this Fomo3d like games and its flaws and issues back in the past.

This is the hard part when you do launch a new game basing on an older game which does have bad image or reputation in the past.

People were already done into these kind of things thats why its hard to believe thats it soon or possibly revived.

Nope, I won't play game something like that. If there is a problem of the game before then I don't think that there is no problem to the new developed of the same game. Base on the opinion from replies in this thread, it is clearly that many people suggeste to make it less ponzi and don't like to play because of the bugs and issue before.

True that.

But then you need to consider the simplicity of reimagining a game that has already been built.

In terms of risk/rewards, it could be worth producing an improved version of the game just to leverage the old userbase of the first game.

That said, I personally wouldn't bother unless it's a really low effort/low cost, but still good looking game.

I just read about the game and had not considered the affect of a whale. Even if there would somehow be multiple whales bidding against each other, it'll always be a losing game for the small guys who inevitably become part of things like this.
It is literally a money grab run by those who have cheaply acquired crypto from the early days and it will just make the small people lose money.

I was dumb enough to not figure this out and to never have heard of this earlier. While that game theory thing sounds intriguing, it is a big waste to even think about working on such a game.

This could maybe work if you limited the game to rounds and stratify the levels upto which people from around the globe can invest. And maybe divide the winning. Geez!!! To think of it, i basically described a PoS system here.. Tells you that a PoS system is pretty much an unfair game.. :o

There is a problem to establish one lost trust again. Even if they fix all bugs and improve overall appearance that still might not be enough. I think many still have the feeling that looks too much like ponzi and that might have negative impact. I don't think the game will manage to attract considerable number of gamers, not this time again.

My thoughts about it is some people may play FOMO3D again and some won't play again. The reason is that the game is ponzi and some may suggest that it should be less ponzi. The previous events that happened to FOMO3D will be remembered to those who play FOMO3D before. My answer is No. People don't like the things that they experienced before will happen again.
