Yes, progress will be wiped when we launch the final server but that does not mean all progress will be lost.

All accounts involved in beta testing will receive an exclusive in-game title (permanent and able to be turned on/off) showing that they were a tester. We will also have bounties placed on in-game bugs and exploits which will be rewarded with in-game currency in the full launch of the game. That way even if your character may not stay, your work in helping to test the server will still benefit you in the final launch.

All of our projects will include jewels as their premium currency (people can use them to buy cosmetic items and other boosts).
All of the gambling games we are developing will allow users to play with jewels as well as a 'free play' mode where players can play using in-game currency.



I'm guessing they just were not very familiar with our project so didn't have much in the way of followup questions. I'm happy we had the chance to let them and their listeners know more about the project.

It aired on Saturday evening. Here's a link.

Jewels will be used across all of our projects to increase demand for the coin and to offer more players the chance to experience the upcoming provably fair gambling games.


We're already authorized with paymenwall which offers a number of payment processors (localized gift cards, region specific digital wallets, sms payments and major payment gateways such as paypal). I'm not sure how we would go about adding more options than they already support.



An unlimited number of players can join the quiz show. Each round lasts 1 minute and consists of a question and 4 possible answers. The faster you answer correctly, the more points (and experience) you get for that round. It then displays the player who has the highest score and continues to the next round. Once all questions have been asked (usually 10-15 questions) it will display a list of the top 3 players, their scores and how much time it took them in total to answer questions (so if they answered 10 questions each taking 10 seconds to respond it would say 100 seconds). The top 3 players also get bonus experience for playing.

The questions can be about anything. Many are general trivia such as regarding geography, sports or movie trivia with a large number of questions being specific to the game itself.

Tomorrow launches the public beta test of ConquerHeroes.com. We've been hard at work putting the final touches on a bunch of systems and quests so that players can properly experience the new world we're creating for them.

Here's a list of what's changed in the last few days.

-Mentor system added and tested: Mentors grant their students bonus battle power and in exchange receive a portion of exp and drops from their students.
-Registration page cleaned up: Less confusing for non English speaking players. Forced email authentication for creation and resets. All passwords are of course salted+hashed and cannot be recovered. Having it reset through validated emails is essential.
-Adjusted early game quests and drops for archers. They were having to do multiple quests to get their starting skills. Have smoothed that out and given them proper arrow packs with their starting gear.
-Changing the gender of your character now properly adjusts your avatar and hairstyle
-Titles are added for winning horse race or guild war. Players can equip or hide these titles and they are visible on their character sheet.
-Quiz show and horse race given fixed schedule. Google calendar used to map out all quest times for players to quickly reference.
-Adjusted many popular maps to balance the droprates and exp rates so that no single map is always the best. They are each useful for different purposes (leveling, powerleveling, hunting, etc)
-Numerous daily quests added and tested to give players encouragement to explore the game world and be active across all maps (each major city has its own daily quest currently)
-Ganoderma/Titan added (drop 1 hour exp potions. Spawn once per 30 minutes)
-Flower system added. You can give flowers to female characters and there is a leaderboard for who received the most flowers of each type per day. Silly cosmetic fun.

Thanks again for having our Jewels project on this week's episode. We really appreciate having the chance to let more people know what our project's goals are.

Thanks again for all the interest in our updates

For those who weren't aware, we've done an interview with BlockChain Dyanmics and should be in tonight's episode. Be sure to listen to the new episode when it airs and let us know what you think

The sound works properly for me. I seem to remember having an issue with how the audio was mixing from this mic though. It could be that it's not properly duplicating the audio track so it'll only play the audio in oine ear if you're using headphones.

As promised, here's a brief overview of the subclass system. It's working well in our tests so far. Excited to see how players like it.

Unfortunately the end date is set at the 16th as a fixed date. We cannot monetize the new server until the coins are distributed and it will be ready to launch by the time the ICO ends.

It's not a decision we will be looking to make until the Jewels are already available in game. Once that's done we will see what sort of value they have and can work out what (if any) amount makes sense to give out as part of quests or other daily events.

Hope that helps.

That's actually something I've been considering. Doing a daily quest that acted as a faucet would be pretty awesome and something I'd definitely like to look into doing.

It's a pretty broad topic so I'll try to keep my answers as specific and short as possible.


The gambling games will be developed in Unity3d. This means we can embed them into our client using our html5 compatible web view (already implemented and tested). These gambling games will be using provably fair RNG so that you can validate every single roll/spin/hand to make sure we are not faking anything on our side. This means nice up front payouts for players with peace of mind that their funds are safe and the gambling is fair.

Our initial focus will be on player vs house games such as slot machines and dice games and will expand from there based on how much we raise during our ICO. These gambling games will be true games with proper sound and visual effects. This is one of the things I find lacking about a lot of crypto gambling sites, they may be great fun but they dont really feel as much like games as they do a fancy spreadsheet... In the long term we will be looking to expand to more complex games where players can play with or against eachother. A good example would be various card games such as poker. Those will of course be much more complex to secure, develop and are not as easy to implement provably fair concepts into so they will not be our first priority.


These gambling games will be available inside our games as mentioned using a web view and will also have their own dedicated website and mobile apps. This means people who want to gamble but don't care about our MMO projects can still play the gambling games. We are also looking to partner as many other websites, games and servers as we can to have our gambling games added to other projects to increase their reach.

We are also partnered with C2 and will be automating the process inside our wallet to convert from C2>BTC>Jewels and then back in the opposite direction. We are looking into similar partnerships with other gaming coins as well.



Here's a video of our HTML5 browser integrated into our existing game.

With this side of development already completed and tested, it's fairly simple for us to embed any new games we want. The funds raised from the ICO will be used for the following 4 aspects of development.

#1: Developing the wallet and transaction functionality (will be ready when ICO ends. Includes jewels cash shop to be embedded into our client)
#2: Developing a secure backend for handling bets and provably fair gambling results (will be completed within 1 month of ICO ending)
#3: Developing the gambling mini games themselves (First batch will be ready within 2 months of ICO ending)
#4: Further development of gambling games and the custom MMO - Project Rebirth.

Definitely against the rules. With the introduction of jewels though we will be able to endorse stuff like that much more freely as the currency involve still remains useful in our game rather than simply bypassing our monitization entirely. As it is right now though, real life sales are banned.

With jewels being integrated it will also allow players from much poorer countries to earn a bit of cash for their time playing. If say you purchased 1000 jewels through an exchange or through our site you could then trade those jewels to another player (say for an awesome new weapon). The person who sold you the weapon for jewels could then send those jewels to an exchange to receive real life cash, could use them in our gambling games to try to earn more money or use them in our jewels shop to buy exclusive cash shop items (skins, boosts, etc). That will actually be a very large draw to our game due to the secondary jewels trading market it creates.

Fairly basic quest but it introduces the concept of "Expiring NPCs" which fire actions when their duration ends. This new mechanic will be used for a lot of upcoming quests and events. It's quite suited to dailies because its a nice break from the normal gameplay but also makes the world feel more alive and dynamic. By making crops that mature, die, respawn elsewhere it makes the farms feel like they actually exist for a reason. We'll be making similar changes to other areas of the game which are underused.

We do not sell any characters or items which effect a character's strength. The duels, tournaments and almost all PVP events do not require any gear or levels though. If you wanted to do a bit of pvp those would be good ways to see how the server works.


In regards to the ICO, the jewels will be distributed at the end of the sale with our jewels cash shop going live at the same time. Those jewels you received from investing could be traded with other players for gear if that's something you wanted to do.

Its in the first post.

The potential for integration of our upcoming gambling games into other products is really exciting to me. I'm already in talks with a number of different game developers who are interested in adding those gambling mini games to their own projects. Currently I have 2 other conquer server owners who are also interested in having them added.

I've made some updates to the ICO page on our website so it offers a bit more information as well as having a link back to this thread for further discussion.

Hopefully that helps with a bit of the confusion some investors have had about the project.

Yes, horses, horse racing and the custom looks for them only exist in the Heroes project. The same is true for all of the updates I'm posting here and in our twitter. It's one of the reasons we're so excited about the new project because it just has so many more possibilities for new content and events for players.
