[GAME] MMORGPG ***Parallel Kingdom***

I found this game and been playing it for awhile. It was on the Iphone but it has a android port. So you can run around and kill all the Iphone people (LOL). Anyways you can use my referral code to get 1000 gold after you do the tutorial. Anyways its simple but fun.
Use Code lunnf
Also, if you want 1,000 gold here is what you do:
When you first begin the game, hit the Menu button and then tap "Profile." In the Profile page, tap the red button in the upper right hand corner and then "Enter Referral Code." Type in "lmali" without the quotes. This is my referral code. If you do not want to use mine just scroll to the section below. You'll get 1,000 Gold once you complete the tutorial. Be sure to enter the code in right away. After the tutorial is done, you won't be able to enter it in anymore.

Thanks ill try

Dont you have to pay real money to play that game.

No money required to play.

This game is BS, you need "food" to do things like level and the only way to get food is to buy it WITH REAL MONEY or recruit other people. Its fun for a day or two but quickly gets frustrating when you realize you are going to either have to pay, recruit others, or stop playing.

the guy must get some kind of bonus for refferals, thus he is spamming his code here and there. I've heard this game requires real money to play, but the guys just playing you about you dont need to.

Well I mean technically its not a scam, or at least its a scam hidden inside of a seemingly well meaning game. The problem is that in the game there are 2 major items to collect, food and gold. The gold is obvious, and you get it from many types of kills or actions but the food you cannot get without paying or recruiting another player. This is where they get you.
Currently I have spent about 2 hours adventuring and am at the point of leveling for the first time but I cannot level and get my skill point until I pay 80 food and I only have 77. If I want to continue playing I will either have to recruit someone else, buy food with real money, or sell something for food on the games market which is purely player driven so there are no default prices on basic items, just whatever people want to change.
Either way it has great potential but I think the publishers are the scam artists using this system to force players to recruit or spend money, either way the sole purpose of the game is to profit the devs.

I am one of the developers/publishers of Parallel Kingdom and I would like to respond to several of your statements.
"the food you cannot get without paying or recruiting another player. This is where they get you." - You can easily acquire Food in any of the trade posts in any city in the Parallel Kingdom world. There is absolutely no need to buy Food for cash to be successful in the game, you can trade and get any amount you want.
"I think the publishers are the scam artists using this system to force players to recruit or spend money" - The business model behind Parallel Kingdom is no different than any other "free to play" MMO. In our minds, at least our game allows people to try it out before they spend any money. We give them 300 free Food with their new character (it costs 80 to level so that is more than enough for 3 levels). And this model allows players to do a little more work in the game collecting resources so they can trade with other players that prefer to spend more money on the game.
"the sole purpose of the game is to profit the devs" - As much as I would like to say that I make games solely for the love of seeing people enjoy them, I still need to feed my family. We have been developing this game for over 2 years. The game is on the third version (Age of Emergence) which just debuted in November 2009. This is the first version that even had a way for us to make any kind of money on the game. The first two versions (the first year and a half of the game's life) had no way for players to spend money even if they wanted to. I'm sorry but eventually a company has to get some revenue or it simply can't support itself or its games any more.

If you are serious about this game then I would suggest a few things since I have worked for a few game companies in the past. One game I would as a solid free/paid model game is Free Realms by Sony.
First you need a store with set prices that is not player controlled. Sell basic things like lvl 1 weapons and armor, boots, gloves, all that stuff for set prices and allow players to buy or sell. This would help first time players get into the game more quickly because it would be reliable and familiar. Giving the player control is key instead of having them rely on other players.
Turn the store into an auction house. This is where all prices are controlled by the player. This way players can craft items, upgrade, and sell them to other players interested in special items. Keeping the noob market and hardcore market separate helps a lot in keeping both spectrum of players happy.
Give us a screen that shows equipped items and not all the items we currently possess. Using the items list to figure out what you are wearing is annoying.
If I kill a deer I should get food! Food is not something you should be charging players for. Going off of what you said I would think people "pay for" this game because of 2 reasons. Either they are the total noob and want some help or they are a l33t haxor. So going off that assumption it would seem like good things to charge for would be special weapons and armor or rare crafting items that can lead to better weapons/armor than you can build or find in the game.
Either way like I said in my first response, I have played this game well over 2 hours so there is something there, but there is a lot of room for improvement before this is going to be my go-to-game while I am mobile.

Yes I get a bonus from refering people. You can play and get your gear up without needing food. You can buy food from other players. Its not all bad. Not saying this game will rock your socks off but you can still play it without buying food and get most of the features of it.

It is interesting at first but yeah, you have to spend 'real' money to get supplies hire people for instance. Uninstalled.

Just wanted to mention that a ton of new content has been added...
New Monsters
New Skills
New Weapons
New Pets
And a New Dungeon (Dragon's Lair!)
Would love to hear some feedback about the new stuff. Thanks!

I've started playing two days ago and it's OK but it's not worth it. Food is too expensive, and the game is not good enough to pay that much for it.
I'm sorry but market is full of free games more addictive than this one.

This is assuming somebody is willing to spend real money on Food and then turn around and sell it for gold or whatever.
THIS NEVER HAPPENS, so he was correct your HAVE to buy food with real money to progress further in the game.

I have been playing this game for over a month now. I am @ level 19 and I haven't paid any real money on this game. I get all of my food from sales of items I collect in this game and a couple referalls. There is a kind of price regulation in the game set by the players. For example, for 1 food you pay 100 gold. There are people who do nothing but sell food at the trade posts in the game. Also, ask around on the help chat to find out what certain items are worth either in food or gold. I recently sold 150 wood on the game for 8000gold and 75 food. If you do want to start playing this game, I would suggest you talk to people in help chat. Also look for my name, Lunacyinc, in the help chat, and ask me any questions you have. I would be happy to help. And one last thing, don't believe the promises about free gold or weapons from referal codes or bonus codes. These "bonus" codes do not exist. Its all just a scam for those people to get more food.

if someone finish tutorial, please write my referral code:ivcuz

I've been playing this game for almost 900 days now. I literally started on day one when both this game and android were both brand new. I've quit for months at a time but always get drawn back. I've helped to implement features, test things, make suggestions, and lead a few of the biggest groups to ever exist in the game.
This said I'd like to mention that I've never paid a penny on parallel kingdom, or PK as many call it. It's a great game that has more social aspects to succeeding than most games do. If you can't master the social aspect of help, friends, and territory it won't matter how much money you spend... you won't get far. If you can then you've found the real value in PK.
I'm also not posting my referral code because firstly I don't roll like that and secondly i don't need any food or to spend money on the game to be successful at it.
In game name is Caern if you need any help getting started.

I've played this game for about 30 days now and haven't spent a single dime.
You can trade for food at reasonable rates through the trade posts and it isn't that hard to get gold to trade for food. If you use your food wisely like the tutorial tells you to do, you will not need to trade for food until you are about level 10 or so.
At that point you will have either found a good hunting spot where you can make good gold/hour or you will find good resources from NPCs that you can sell in the trade post for food/gold.
Sometimes it seems a little tedious, but it is fun.

Galaxy on Fire 2

I've read a bit about this shooting game, it looks promising, it is Xperia Play Optimized and I didn't dislike Star Battalion, though I muted the sound as I didn't want to hear "Barrel roll! Do a barrel roll!" ever again... However, it's got a quite hefty price tag, so I would like to know opinions about it before forking out the 8 euro it costs.

I love this game. Its more like privateer and other space trading type games. The actual space fighting is pretty fun too once you get used to it. The problem is there is no slow down or speed up. There is a thruster boost you can trade for but as far as pulling fancy moves, its not really possible. But definitely a really enjoyable game! Way better than gameloft games.

Shame about the lack of speed control. Haven't even bothered buying a thruster yet though. Should have been the first game I bought instead of the gameloft tat..

I find this game incredibly laggy when there are a few ships on the screen.
The main actors voice is hilarious, though kudos to having proper voices rather than just text.
The game is ok, it's not as good as something equally as simple as Space Rangers on the PC.
Can get a bit repetitive and tedious going from system to system, but I do enjoy these types of games, it's just the basic dynamics of the warp mechanic that annoy me.
Is it worth the cash? Just.
Is it way to expensive when compared to other Android games...yes!

lets golf 3 rant

i just started playing this game last week. its a fantastic game but its f**ked how they make you buy energy points to keep playing. i refuse to do that. i sent them an email asking if i could just buy the game outright and they declined.
my next complaint is online play. i discovered that by winning you could win energy points. the peoblem is that for some reason everyone else is playing so much faster than i do. they advance to the next hole before i finish the current. by the time i get to the 7th hole they're already done and i am given a 2 minut time limit ot finish. i never do and i end up loosing even tho the score might be tied or i might only be a point behind.
i think its f**ked that they let people advance to the next hole before everyone is done. i think part of the problem is some phones load the levels faster than others. if you have a slower phone han your opponent you get screwed because they can advance thru the levels faster.

Why not try other golf games?

i tried a few other games, none of the games i've found are any good.
lets golf is the best one i've found as far as graphics and the controls.

try Let's Golf 2 HD.
you can buy it outright and don't have to be milked to play.
graphics on the HD version is good. very good gameplay.

This has no place on XDA.

Shadowgun:Deadzone will be free!

I sincerely hope that they don't nickel and dime everything. Still, can't wait regardless.

This is disappointing news...
Making a PvP multiplayer shooter a freemium is just bad form.
Hopefully the in-app purchases won't give players who are willing to fork over huge amounts of money a large advantage over those that do not (i.e. weapon, health, armor upgrades).
I really hope the in-app purchases will just be vanity items.

Not to mention it says Tegra 3 exclusive... lame.

"With Shadowgun: Deadzone, Madfinger delivers the promised multiplayer component exclusively for Tegra 3 followed by iOS and other smart phone and tablet devices."
Still disappointing they went this route.

Star Armada - Review

Hey guys, I'm somewhat new to Android (got my Play a 4 months and 2 days ago upgraded from a T-mobile Dash 3g [I actually got good at KOF '98 using the ****ed up keyboard on that beautiful phone]) and touchscreen phones but I always assumed RTS games would flourish on the medium. Hell, my old Windows Mobile 6.5 had Machines at War and that was one of the best strategy games I had ever played across any medium. Sadly, the RTS genre seemed all but dead on Android. Rusted Warfare has potential but it has a long way to go, and Starfront Collision was far too neutered in comparison to its source for my liking. Yesterday I bought a game called Star Armada that could, with a bit of love, become the best RTS experience Android has to offer. On to the review!
Star Armada was not received well in the majority of the reviews because Star Armada is not a traditional RTS and many players will not sit and read through the 40 some page tutorial that is absolutely integral to understanding the game. The game tends to think outside of the box and it presents you with a strange set of rules and options. First of all, we have planets; to capture a planet you must have it in your line of sight and build one structure on it. Planets are necessary not only for building structures and mining resources but also because you must maintain control of more planets than your enemy to effectively beat them. This is very important because there is a set amount of resources in the galaxy. The enemy AI is going to attack your planets while you attempt to defend them all while you are trying to take planets from the enemy. You can choose between 5 and 8 planet maps with their locations, resource allotment and bonuses (some planets give a bonus like speed boost or cheaper ship building costs) all procedurally generated to give you a unique experience each time. There is incredible depth to the game, especially when considering there are only 3 offensive unit types. Each unit can be upgraded through researches (shield, weapons, and then you can also upgrade the four weapon types which are not exclusive to the ship), or by receiving veteran status. Each of the 3 ships can carry one more weapon than the last (cheapest ship=1 weapon, mid-powered ship =2 weapons) and the weapon load out can be customized for every ship while building it. You can also individually assign specific behaviors to each ship such as attack and follow vs. attack and hold or more interestingly, kamikaze (when low on health the ship blows up dealing damage to surrounding enemies) or return to nearest planet allowing the ships to be repaired.
Now for the bad. The very very, no good, ****-awful, bad. The game has 2 major bugs. First, when I attempt to load games the game crashes back to the home screen. Second, when you have an ungodly number of ships in a battle at once (end-game scenario for my 5 planet match) the game freezes and must be force closed. I have contacted the developer to see if any fixes are planned for slower devices and will let everyone know when I hear back. The game is on sale for $1.99 and is available on google play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stararmada&hl=en
Final word: I cannot recommend this game in its current form to Play users but if you have a tablet or higher end device this game is an absolute must have. As for the Play, it will be one to watch much like Rusted Warfare.

Nice review, looks like an interesting game.

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update since I just received an e-mail back. The developer has ordered a Play to both test this game and to optimize their new (still unnamed to my knowledge) project for Xperia Play controls.
Also, Rusted Warfare (the other RTS I briefly mention) has received an update that fixes the majority of problems I had with it and that game runs perfectly and is a blast to play on my Play. If there's any interest in it I'll do a little review in its own thread later.

I've been enjoying Robo Planet, thanks for mentioning it in the OP. A very interesting take on RTS that works well on the phone, and like no other game I've played before. Excellent.

I actually didn't mention it, unless you are being sarcastic. Anyways, how is it? I was under the impression it was a TBS but it has a neat look to it and I would love to hear your feedback.

Oh, my apologies. I read an RTS review on here that mentioned it, bought it then when I saw this I thought this must have been the review! It's real time not turn based and well worth a purchase, it plays well with a game design that suits mobile well. The graphics are very good. It's definitely recommended if you enjoy rts games.

Thanks for the information! I will definitely look in to it.
