I was thinking of hunting this game, but it's already been hunted. You should write a review of the game here in the comments https://steemhunt.com/@masterthematrix/eos-knights-the-first-mobile-game-for-eos

I'm playing it for almost two months now :) and I'm on level 600. Will check this out. I didn't know about the referrals. Will use yours.

Cool! What’s your account name? I want to look up how much you’ve spent and earned. :)

Thanks for setting the referral. You can do it under settings.

At the moment I'm in negative ... but please check it :)

This is where we'd loop through all accounts... let's just update ourselves for now.

Does that look about right? Says you're 11.5848 EOS down. At today's prices, that's $62.67. Also, I noticed the sales amount they show in the app doesn't seem to take out the 3% fee they take. What they show doesn't match with what they actually transfer to your account.

Yes it is like that. I wanted to reach the 500 floor, after which the expensive materials are rewarded :) Now will need to get back.

It's similar to POW mining in that the difficulty goes up as more people get to higher ranks. Items that were once rare become cheaper because there is more supply with more people dropping them due to the higher rank. I can remember selling a Titanium material for around 1 EOS. Now you can get it for 0.0100.

Yes this is an issue ... The prices of materials are just going down ... some kind of limit on the supply side is needed. Maybe no materials from the pet expeditions. This is discussed in the telegram group.

It's a fascinating thing to watch in real time. It's all about story management. Financial value is just storying telling. They have to keep the story of value alive to get more new users involved which keeps demand high enough to consume the increased supply due to more players high up in the ranks. It's a fascinating example of the rich get richer. If those who put in the most time and money playing the game didn't get richer, then people would complain and leave. My hunch is, they will just keep introducing new, more powerful and more rare items at higher and higher levels. The contests will help as well. People love winning.

But in this case seems that the ones who joined earlier and invested something are in a bad position. At least for the short term. My self icluded. I will need a month maybe to return the investment.

Nevertheless a bull run at the moment will do the job for new users.

This called a "power creep" in game design. Have seen it in WOW before ))

And in economics it calls a Ponzi!

Wow, it's really interesting...

I still need to learn more about these exciting game...

I'm playing EOS knights (themasterset)!
And it's really interesting to get statistics like this and analysis. Thanks.

As for EOSKn economy model it's looks like ponzi scheme - new players paying to older ones while tokens (items and materils) inflating indefinetely.

I'd like to find prices data. How fast the prices going down? How much time we have before the internal market of EOSKn will collapse under inflation?

I'm also very interested in the price data and overall economics of the system. It's funny how so many things, upon close inspection, look very much like a ponzi scheme (such as the world reserve currency known as the USD).

True )

I've never played it but keep bumping into a few posts about this game from time to time. Looks like it be quite an uphill battle in time and investment to get somewhere on that.

Still is quite an interesting topic. I've played some real cash economy games in the past. Always found them more fun just trying to pull a slight profit then anything else. Looks like its a tad to late for anyone looking to get into this on the cheap and get anywhere.

this post is awesome! (In a nerdy kind of way!) I'm learning some node myself and enjoying the code

I'm really close to being back to even Stevens from my playing...spent about 6 EOS and made 5.8 or so.

I'm also grabbing over 1k water/day. Just opened up level 12 and am going to spend more water on pets for a bit.
