Parallel Kingdom - MMO for Android

Here are the full notes for the Monday patch:

Full Details for Monday Update


1/17/2010 If you've read the previous Update Hut post, you know that the game servers will be going down for an update tomorrow, Jan 18th at 10:30AM (US Central time). Here's a complete rundown of all the changes...

City Mechanics
Dump Prices - Crystal will now be dumped for 8 Gold each and Oil will be dumped for 4 Gold each.

Extending Golem timers - Golem timers will now grow to a max of 12 mins. After the update, they will begin at the 6 mins and slowly grow to the 12 min max.

Better Raids - A successful Raid will now give the player 50% of what that building was storing instead of the 20% previously.


Burning Buildings
It will now take 20 Crude Oil to start any building on fire. You will still have to attack a building to reduce its HP to 50%. Once it reaches 50%, your character will automatically stop attacking and you'll have to tap the target building. Choose the option to spend 20 Crude and set the building aflame. The burning icon will show and it will still take the same amount of time to burn as it did before.


In-game Notifications
Preferences - In addition to the Notifications options that are already live and accessible in your Profile, there will be another option called "Preferences." This will let you customize your preferences for some in-game settings such as whether you want to receive notifications when your wells are full, whether you want to send or receive notifications when you or others sign on, and a few others.


New Content
50 new Faces - There will now be 25 additional Faces for each gender available in every Trade Post.

Dog Faces - Also available in the Trade Post, there will be 5 new Dog Faces, allowing you to change the breed of your Dog.

Roc Shrine Tickets - Now you can acquire tickets to your Roc Shrines for Food which can then be sold or given away. Each ticket will say the Player's name and the name of the Roc Shrine. Just tap one of your Roc Shrines and you'll see the option to print some Tickets. These can then be given away or sold in Trade Posts so players can get easy access to nearby Dungeons and other landmarks.

All the Holiday Items are currently on sale at 30% off until Jan 25th. After that they will no longer be restocked at the Trade Posts.

None of the items offered this year will be available next year. This means all the holiday items from this year will become relic collectibles. Next year, we may offer something slightly similar but there will always be noticeable differences.

Hope you enjoy the new update. Have fun everyone!

Hi everyone

I have recently bought the HTC tattoo, this game sounds like a lot of fun, but I cannot find it on the Android Market because of the HTC tattoos screen resolution. Does anyone have a link for me to download the apk. file straight from the internet so I can download and install it myself, or could someone maybe send it to me?
I have managed to download and use a number of other apps that aren't listed on the market and use them even though they aren't the correct size so I would like to give it a try.

Thanks

Ben

I've been playing it a bit but I really hate micro-transaction games. Having a separate resource that you have to buy with real money is a pain in the ass -- especially considering you need that resource to level up or do a lot of the less basic projects that the game allows for. I mean, a couple $3 transactions isn't going to kill me but the game could easily absorb as much money as a full-fledged console game but without 5% of the depth.

I'm generally not a huge fan of micro-transaction games either. However, keep in mind that Parallel Kingdom has a fully functional in-game economy so if you don't want to pay for the "separate resource," you can trade with other players.

Use the Trade Posts in the cities for this. Put something up for sale and then you can use the Trade chat channel to let people know what you have for sale and which trade post its in. Its a bit more work, but if you post something for a reasonable price, there's generally a lot of interested buyers out there.

"fully functional in-game economy" WOULD be right if people were actually willing to trade food for in-game goods. The "food" resource basically breaks the economy. It isn't tied to other in-game resources in any way, shape or form. You can get, like, 2 food for something that took you an hour to get/make. On the other hand, you can buy a bunch of food for $3. Based upon basically any efficiency standard out there, buying the food makes more sense. But screw that!

Give me a subscription fee and an in-game economy that actually works, plz.

Right now the accepted conversion rate is about 150-175 Gold per Food. So 2 Food would cost about 300-350 Gold which takes about 2 - 6 minutes to get depending on how you're hunting/gathering.

Generally speaking, when pricing your Goods, it can be dangerous to go by the prices of the stuff that is already in the trade post, because that is stuff that hasn't sold yet (usually because it's overpriced)

Here's a page that can definitely help you:

Good link.

I have been playing for 4 days or so and it's a lot of fun. I have 33 flags so far and I've been enjoying mapping out the area in google maps:
Link (Pointless, but fun. Also helps navigate the area, since you can't zoom out in-game)

However I've hit something of a wall, since I no longer have enough food to level up, and the trade post at the city I started in has zero trade going on (too small). I was hoping someone would have advice as to how to find (and get to) a larger city with an active trade post.

Thanks!
