'Roma Victor' Adds Virtual Economic Revenue Model

by Rainier on June 2, 2005 @ 4:08 p.m. PDT

Roma Victor is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) based on the Roman Empire, circa 180AD. Roma Victor features social interaction on a massive scale, freestyle and mission-led gameplay, one on one combat in the Coliseum, tactical warfare on the battlefields of Europe and a deeply rich and varied non-combat crafting and skill system.

VERM, which has been developed as an alternative to the typical MMO game subscription model, allows players to purchase sesterces (the in-game currency) via credit or debit card.* Players can also earn sesterces in-game by means such as, farming, hunting, building and smithing (to name just a few possible sources of a virtual income).

All of the game's the action currently takes place in a 10km x 10km world which includes a significant part of Hadrian's Wall and the River Clyde, the town of Corstopitum, the fort at Cilurnum and numerous Celtic villages.

RedBedlam invited a record number of new testers to coincide with the launch of the VERM commercial test phase and will continue to add further drafts of new testers in the coming weeks and months.

"In the short period since the launch of Roma Victor's commercial test, the virtual economy has already provided fascinating results," says Kerry Fraser-Robinson Managing Director of RedBedlam. "Testers have realised that they need to develop a high level of expertise within a specific industry from the broader trade skills tree to ensure they can supply high-quality and high-demand items to survive and flourish as a community. We believe this will provide a unique community building experience within the MMORPG genre."
