Mossland: a virtual world of endless possibilities

https://medium.com/@moss.land/mossland-a-virtual-world-of-endless-possibilities-953d95a03bc4



The world is changing. A wave of new technologies is already here to transform our everyday lives. Virtual and augmented reality (AR/VR) are great examples of this transformation.

At first, all new technologies are understood only at the simplest level: electricity used to only power light bulbs, and now it drives cars and high-speed trains; the internet started out as a primitive messaging board and now it’s our main source of global information. In a similar way, virtual reality is starting to go far beyond just providing amusement in our free time.

Mossland is not just a game with AR/VR elements, it is an entire virtual universe, created by a team of dedicated experts. It gives you the freedom of the most unusual experiences: you can stand on top of the Big Ben tower, while actually sitting in the comfort of your living room. You are no longer limited by physical space.

Almost all the possibilities Mossland provides are surreal (except the profits, they are quite measurable). And all the possibilities it provides are exciting, including being able to cash out real currency at any place, at any time.

As a game, Mossland is a location-based ecosystem centered on the idea of virtual real estate. In our digital world, the player can own famous landmarks in his or her vicinity and purchase architectural objects from other gamers using Moss Coin, an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency. Moss Coin is earned and spent by trading real estate (why not buy the Tower of Pisa, the Statue of Liberty or the Colosseum?).

The Mossland platform provides a variety of additional options to help you in this task: advertising to other players, decorating and enhancing your buildings and ultimately selling them for a higher price, just like in the real world. With some effort and creativity, you can become the manager of an entire real estate empire!

Mossland has revolutionized advertising itself: the major challenge — reaching your target audience — has been overcome. The user can buy ads in the exact locations he or she needs, guaranteeing that the people nearby will see them. The advertising “industry” of this virtual world is another area where a player can build up his wealth and influence.

Additionally, the Moss Coin cryptocurrency itself is quite flexible: it can be gained via property sales, mobile app stores, and exchange platforms.

Team Mossland’s Official Position on ‘Group Buys’

Dear Mossland Supporters,

We’d like to inform you of the team’s official position on ‘Group Buys’ of Moss Coin.

The team has never officially asked for or authorized ‘Group Buys and will not allow such actions to take place in all ICO process.

This is because of the possible tax or financial transparency issues that may arise in the future due to someone’s false name. We have an obligation to clarify the source of the money we have secured through the ICO. Know Your Customer(KYC) is the procedure to prevent such incidents.

Moreover, as ICO regulations are becoming more strict, ‘Group Buys’ for personal benefit may harm others who went through the official process.

Team Mossland will process the refund for the Group Buys made until now.

We hope no one to be harmed and if you have participated in a group buy, please contact us at contact@moss.land. If you want to participate in the coming ICO, please make sure of this point and follow the normal procedure.

Sincerely,
Team Mossland

Virtual adventures, real profits and expert tips.


We all remember the unprecedented craze that surrounded Pokemon Go. What makes the world of Mossland unique and different from everything else we’ve seen so far?

One of the main perks for the player in Mossland is that the fun of virtual reality comes already combined with real-world profitability. Basically, you play the game, go on adventures and earn money at any convenient time and place. Mossland is a huge, living and breathing, AR-powered universe which is based on the architectural layout of real buildings, streets and cities. The mobile platform empowers you to find actual properties in your proximity, buy them in the virtual world and use beautiful AR objects (such as unusual neon signs, blazing lights or magical creatures) to design and decorate. That will raise the value of your property and allow you to sell it for a much higher price. More than that, Mossland also creates the possibility of earning money through virtual advertisements. Anyone can run a vibrant and eye-catching advertising campaign, using a simple interface provided by the game. All you have to do is just set the ad budget. The game guarantees that the ad will reach its audience: people in the actual vicinity of the building will see your signs and messages in the surreal beauty of augmented reality.

How does the Mossland property trading and currency exchange work?

After you acquire properties in Mossland, you have an option of trading them to other users via the Auction House. Generally speaking, the Mossland financial system consists of three currencies: Gold, Gem and Moss. The first one, Gold, is the most common in-game currency. It is generated by gameplay and you can spend it without any supply control. You get it for check-ins, level ups or mission accomplishments. The second currency, Gems, is recharged by in-app purchases (IAP). It’s cooler than Gold because it is used to buy premium stuff. The third one, Moss, is much more rare and valuable: it can be bought with other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum or through IAP as well.

Are there any benefits for Moss Coin buyers?

Absolutely, there are several of them. Participation in our ICO provides a bonus discount, which allows you to buy Moss Coins at a lower price. Mossland will not issue additional Moss Coins, so, their value is expected to rise. Speaking about the nature of the game, the famous properties and landmarks will be objects that people are eager to buy and occupy as soon as possible. The company will choose key properties from these highly desired landmarks and list them in a pre-auction. Participating in the pre-auction, you can benefit from the expected increase of property value in the future. Imagine being the first one to buy the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty, and then having the ability to sell it at an extremely high price because of its fame and attractiveness. Once the game has several million users, acquiring such landmarks will be a very challenging task. So, our early participants have the exceptional chance to of owning something amazingly exclusive, something that will potentially become more valuable with each passing day.

When the price again sideways and downtrends like this, for short-term
and let alone long-term investors waiting very saturate.
game-based projects with rewards is pretty good for me.
in addition to the gaming industry is also still not directly affected
with price movements of crypto digital asset.
I will monitor and will probably join Landmark Event and Airdrop.

Mossland FAQ: ICO, currencies, gaming



Which currency is used for the ICO?

Ethereum is the only currency we accept for a number of important reasons. Our two main motivations are:

We are dedicated to providing the best security for you — our crowdsale participants. At the moment, Ethereum is the safest cryptocurrency for such ICO projects.
We aim to preserve and safeguard information. The contract data can be safely written and stored via the Safe Contract method.

Are there any benefits for those who participate in the main ICO?

The benefits are quite considerable. Our main ICO participants are treated as the privileged supporters of a groundbreaking new project in AR technology. Therefore, we offer a purchase of tokens with a lucrative bonus for early adopters.

Furthermore, the participants of our ICO get to shape the future of Mossland itself, and as a result, they will shape the future of augmented reality and gaming globally. We provide a chance to give feedback and advice on the project during Mossland’s development phase.

What is the exact date/time for the start and end of the main ICO?

The ICO starts:

UTC (U.K) March 21st, 1:00 PM

UTC +9(Korea) March 21st, 10:00 PM

The ICO ends:

UTC (U.K) April 18th, 12:59 PM

UTC +9(Korea) April 18th, 9:59 PM

When will I have a chance to receive my tokens and register them at cryptocurrency exchanges?

The purchase of tokens will take place after the main ICO comes to an end. This will be the first opportunity to register your tokens. We aim to enable the registration of tokens at a cryptocurrency exchange in the second quarter of 2018.

How can I become the owner of my first property?

There are three ownership methods that can be used and modified based on player choices and planning: weekly ownership, monthly ownership and permanent ownership. Weekly ownership is valid for 7 days, when a user receives property development missions. Monthly ownership can be provided to those who acquire weekly ownership. To solidify this right, users receive and complete more difficult missions. Based on their achievements and accomplishments, players can then acquire permanent ownership, which enables the sale of real estate at the Auction House.

Can I exchange Moss, Gold and Gem values within the game?

Users cannot directly exchange these currencies, whereas indirect exchange is possible: this can be done via purchasing buildings, landmarks or other property decorated with Accessories. These objects, for their part, create Gold and Gems for the players, and Moss is generated by other users checking in at these locations.

Mossland: the elegance and beauty of digital dreams


Augmented reality is about to drastically change how we see the world. The colorful neon cityscapes shown in Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and other futuristic films will soon combine with anything we can imagine, create and design. It can be mysterious and enchanting: a contrast between the dark sky and a man-made neon rainbow. Or it can be full of sunshine, clouds and childhood dreams — a forest of vibrant green inside a concrete city. The ultimate choice of how to enhance reality is ours alone.

The boundaries are limitless, driven by the most powerful graphics engine of all: the human imagination. This is the philosophy behind the creative vision of Mossland, powered by our expert team and awesome AR tech.

We aim to take locations, landmarks and architectural objects that are already famous, beautiful and full of history… and infuse them with a new level of technological magic that will allow our fantasies to become real.

Imagine the elegant streets of Paris: the Louvre, the Elysian Fields, the Arch of Triumph… the tiny coffee and croissant cafes, the art galleries and sunlit wine shops with dusty barrels, the smell of oak and fruit. And now imagine this already amazing city infused with bright colors impossible to see outside of a dream, populated with legendary creatures from mythology and pop culture. Look up: there, intertwined in the steel framework of the Eiffel tower — a giant, snake-like dragon with red and gold scales, sleeping in the morning sun. Puffs of smoke rise from his nostrils as he slumbers. Beneath him, in the streets, over the busy people heading to work — a vibrant web of neon signs advertising the city’s most interesting businesses, its secret areas and delicious restaurants.

Imagine the brightly lit, colorful and active nights of Tokyo and Seoul, already fascinating in their technological inventiveness and vibrancy. See them now in your mind, populated by digital reflections of humans, beasts, fairy-tale spirits and animals. Get a seat in your favorite karaoke bar, full of red and green lights, listen to the energetic music and have a drink next to the kaiju monster that lives next door. See your name blazing above the two skyscrapers you just bought, in bright purple letters, like a bridge between two towers. Let everyone in your city know who you are through the creativeness of your design, in the magical second reality that Mossland paints over the usual one.

The world that we are building for the Mossland universe is more than a game, it is a second home, full of things to spark your inspiration and sense of beauty. We invite you to become part of something wonderful, to be one of the people to establish this new reality for everyone else. Climb the Statue of Liberty with us, plant a digital tree atop its crown that will flower with bright crimson, orange and violet above the majestic skyline of Manhattan. Place a manticore or griffin egg in the Colosseum, so this fantastic beast will soar above the sandy arena. Write a neon sign over the main entrance that says “Gladiators welcome!”. Combine the old, the new, the imagined and the real in a captivating image that will amaze both friends and strangers.

All of these things can be made possible in augmented reality, where dreams are more important than the laws of physics. Help us make your dreams come to life today by joining the Mossland community!

Mossland: a global plan for a new reality


One of the built-in advantages of a making a high-quality project in Augmented Reality is that it’s designed to be global by nature. By creating a new digital world for people to explore, we establish a network of common ideas, activities, hobbies, emotions and in the case of Mossland itself trading and profits.

Boundaries between countries, nationalities, professions and continents start to matter less when people interact in a virtual world. They search for ways to expand their impressions and experiences, to acquire amazing new landmarks, to make themselves known in other cities. People may purchase properties that have always inspired them in real life. In this brave new universe, the creativity of individuals and the new technology that empowers us all will be at the center of attention.

The talented team of Mossland developers, experts and advisors is hard at work, determined to expand the future game, its community and accomplishments to a worldwide scale using these new opportunities. One of the main tools, besides augmented reality itself, is the technology behind blockchain. The decentralization, transparency and amazing new opportunities offered by blockchain, tokenization and cryptocurrency allow us to open the doors of our groundbreaking project to a much wider variety of investors, participants and users. Bureaucracy, physical distance and other factors are not as problematic as they were before in this digital age.

This is why the Mossland roadmap is a complex and inclusive model of adapting our project to a global audience. We have already gathered a fantastic team, full of world-class experts in game development, AR/VR, blockchain, 3D modeling and animation, marketing, business development and many other fields.

This has been a major accomplishment, since talented people are the most important resource of any ambitious project, and truly top-of-the-line professionals are hard to find and retain. However, Mossland has managed to build strong bonds within our community and team of colleagues. This enables us to take on creative challenges and succeed without compromising.

The technological foundations for Mossland have already been created through our deep understanding of AR and the gaming industry. The technical expertise from revolutionary projects like Reality Reflection have been an incredible advantage. Mossland itself promises to be a new leap in the evolution of both games and augmented reality.

Thanks to all these amazing circumstances, as well as our hard work, the Pre-ICO of Mossland was an astounding success: we expected it to reach impressive heights, but even we were surprised at the level of interest and anticipation that arose. The Pre-ICO closed in 38 minutes, gathering the attention of thousands upon thousands of excited and inspired participants. To say we were thankful and motivated by such a high level of trust would be an understatement.

The nearest upcoming stage of our roadmap is the Main ICO, which will take place on 21 March and will be a major step in establishing our new augmented reality universe. All the funding will be directed at developing our groundbreaking alpha in 2018 and a closed beta test in early 2019.

Once these development stages are complete, the Mossland game will be soft-launched in a limited number of countries. This will allow us to improve our gameplay, increase the world immersion and depth. It will also allow the Mossland team to expertly fix any technical issues that arise before the global launch planned for the 3d quarter of 2019.

One of the most exciting things that will take place after the global launch will be the pre-auction for landmark properties — the legendary, astoundingly beautiful buildings from the real world that can now be enhanced in surreal augmented reality.

The Mossland team is incredibly excited to share this future with you, our supporters. We will dedicate our hard work, creative inspiration and only the best technology to make your dreams come true!

Reality Reflection is also a pioneer in designing and perfecting its own developments and inventions. We don’t simply work with the existing technological framework but strive for innovation wherever possible. For example, we have created the Digital Human in-house system that uses Asia’s biggest 3D scanning studio, enhanced with 160 Digital SLRDSLR and depth cameras. Digital Human’s goal is to provide the most accurate representation of real people in virtual worlds. This demonstrates our dedication and dream of making an entire living, breathing universe reflected in AR/VR. We want to achieve the most amazing heights possible, for you, our supporters, investors and players.


The next important fact about the Mossland team is that its accomplishments and technological excellence is possible due to the vast talents of its members. The core group is made up of 18 people with backgrounds in game design, AR/VR tech and marketing.

The leaders of the Mossland project are truly experienced, multi-skilled and creative professionals in the fields of 3D computer technologies, business growth and innovation and others: Wooram Son (CEO), Chester Roh (CSO), Minuk Kim (CTO), Yongjun Hong (CFO), Sean Oh (COO) and Son Lim (VP of Business Development). This management team has a wealth of experience in creating and establishing companies, working on cutting-edge technologies and has cooperated with such global tech giants like Google, Samsung and IBM.
Thanks to them, Mossland is already rising to truly global heights and the Korean technological entertainment sector in general is attracting worldwide attention and excitement.

Furthermore, Mossland is a project that reaches beyond just Korea or even Asia. It’s significant on a global scale. That’s why we have made sure to establish a degree of multiculturalism and diversity in our working environment. We have involved advisors from numerous countries and backgrounds to provide their unique perspectives and creative solutions: Vitaliy Tkach, our creative advisor; Peter Van Dyke, our AR UX & design advisor; Ilya Mikov, our cryptocurrency gaming advisor; Ivan Danishevsky, our E-Sports and gaming blockchain advisor; and many, many other amazing experts.

We are proud and excited about the sophistication, intelligence and global vision of the Mossland team and the digital community we have created. The project is an amazing chance to shape the future of augmented reality. So, join us now and let’s change the world together!

[becruxrubbish]

Mossland Main ICO starts in 3 days!

Mossland has received a fair amount of media spotlight and today we’d like to share some.

“Mossland has the capacity to create unlimited value because it is an AR game. For example, you can create brand new value from even a dilapidated factory depending on how you utilize AR objects on it. Although it is true that early players may have a slight advantage, value creation with AR is truly limitless and there are plenty of opportunity for late players.” - Wooram Son, CEO of Mossland, at an interview with Inven Global

Moss Chain is a new blockchain ecosystem that unifies blockchain with augmented, virtual reality and mobile gaming


Blockchain adoption is growing with no sign of abating. As businesses and technologists find new use cases for the technology, we see emergence of new markets. Some of the three major emerging technologies out there today are: blockchain, augmented reality (AR)/ virtual reality (VR) and AR-based mobile gaming. The question is, how do we integrate and unify these technologies to create a new ecosystem? Enter Moss Chain, created by Korea Blockchain Association. With Moss Chain, virtual assets and their ownership could be also transferred to other location-based games or services, creating new avenues for owners to realize value and ensure the security of virtual assets. Moss Chain is still nascent at this point.

“Moss Chain is a very exciting technology that stands to dramatically reshape our increasingly digital world. We’re now building a completely new ecosystem that will inspire creation of new creative projects like Mossland and change the gaming market,” said Louis Jinhwa Kim, Blockchain Advisor at Mossland, Co-founder and Director at Korea Blockchain Association, Co-founder at Korbit.

One Korean startup is already leveraging Moss Chain to launch its first augmented reality (AR) mobile game, Mossland,  that brings together technologies for blockchain, augmented / virtual reality and gaming in the new blockchain ecosystem for AR assets. The startup is called Reality Reflection. Reality Reflection is currently partnering with Korea Blockchain Association to take Moss Chain ecosystem to the next level. Reality Reflection is not the only developer using Moss Chain. Other developers are also planning to use Blockchain and cryptocurrency to power a new type of AR application. For example, the Reality Gaming Group and its app Reality Clash, a first-person shooter (FPS) also contains a cryptocurrency-powered arms trade for players to get involved in.


Mossland is a location-based, augmented reality mobile game focused on real estate and powered by a blockchain. Players can move through cities, log in to different locations, and become virtual owners of various attractions. The game uses the Ethereum-based cryptocurrency Moss Coin for all purchases and sales of in-game land. Mossland app uses ‘check-in’ technology similar to apps like foursquare to let users view, buy and sell virtual real estate, with even famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower potentially up for grabs. Mossland lets users earn money while playing. Using the purchasing and selling of property and accessories for it, user can directly influence the recognition of building (and the level of income).

The user experience of Mossland requires a very fast exchange between players. Using public blockchain platforms can be risky as they can not guarantee consistent performance. This is particularly problematic in in-game auctions, during which it can be difficult to immediately check whether an offer was successful. At this point, the new [Suspicious link removed]es into play. Mossland will use to guarantee stable performance and allows users to create and sell virtual assets through an open market. The developers at Reality Reflection and the team at Korea Blockchain hope that Moss Chain will become a platform for future development of other AR apps and videogames.

Moss Chain will be a platform for all virtual assets produced within the game. If Mossland later has a larger number of games, external artists and developers will be able to develop and sell their own virtual assets through this open market. This, in turn, will boost the development of new DApps (decentralized apps) and other game elements.

Developers Reality Reflection announced its intention to use Cryptocurrency to power its upcoming augmented reality (AR) app Mossland at the start of this year. The developers have now revealed they are partnering with a Korean [Suspicious link removed]pany to take the concept further with custom blockchain platform Moss Chain.

Back In January 2018, Reality Reflection successfully raised over $ 5 million (USD) during a pre-ICO for Mossland. You can read their latest whitepaper here if you want to learn more about Mossland.

Blockchain and AR is Revolutionizing the Gaming Industry



Merging the virtual and real world is a development that is becoming common in the gaming ecosystem. Most of these new games involve the integration of game visuals and audio content with a player’s environment in real time. This phenomenon is described as Augmented Reality (AR).

Real-life Participation
Working with the GPS application of the mobile devices, game players are made to complete tasks and quests around their immediate physical environment. These kinds of games have a way of acquiring several associated benefits to participants depending on the game’s primary dynamics. Exploring one’s immediate environment is what a lot of people hardly engage in. To do so based on the motivation of some form of rewards or challenge makes it an interesting and in most cases captivating system of exploration.

Being a new kind of technology and still in its innovative stages, AR is finding a lot of different implementation in the gaming industry that mirrors real life processes. Some are set in the ancient existence of several ages ago, while others are set in the present day living or projection of future existence. Beyond the timeline, these setups are also organised to represent specific industries, ranging from politics, to commerce, real estate, culture, e.t.c.

AR and Blockchain Implementation
A typical example of AR implementation is the Mossland Reality Reflection which is a location-based Augmented Reality (AR) mobile game that is based on real estate. In Mossland, users identify real properties in the world and add them to the game world. This gives other users the ability to buy and sell real-world properties in the Mossland virtual world. The game utilizes a blockchain-based cryptocurrency to facilitate trades, sales and purchases by users of in-game properties, emulating the real-world property market in the game and giving players a new way to interact with each other.

Temple Treasure Hunt is another example where Indian mythological characters come up as treasure guardians in a game that uses real map of a location. This geolocational game centres around mystery lovers who play roles of either treasure protectors or treasure hunters.

Various AR games abound in today’s gaming ecosystem, but the fascinating element is how blockchain implementation is enabling the transfer of real value across the gaming ecosystem. In one of the examples mentioned above, mimicking the real-life real estate marketplace involves actual trading and other commercial exercises. Being connected across a global network automatically requires a reliable platform where transactions can be secure and transparent.

Value Extraction in Gaming
Blockchain in the gaming world enhances the value of tokenization as it offers the flexibility that is needed to connect people across different countries and cultures. Blockchain tokens (for example, Moss coin in the case of Mossland) serves as the universal unit of value transfer which influences the liquidity that is necessary in the gaming marketplace. Be it for purposes of auction or reward, the underlying tokens remain the connecting units that enable the fulfillment of gaming contracts.

In order to extract real value from any gaming marketplace, blockchain will always play an important role. These tokens are cryptocurrencies that can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat in order to derive usable value. Apparently, Blockchain and AR are practically causing a total revolution in the way gaming is interpreted. Unlike in the past when gaming was mostly about fun and recreation, several tangible benefits are currently being attached to the experience nowadays.

Beyond the social values of connecting individuals from different parts of the globe, Blockchain and AR are taking gaming to another level. Education, exploration, research and commercial benefits are just a few of the values that are currently being extracted from within the ecosystem.
