Conra is a text and browser-based MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) developed by Xaferrow which was launched on December 2008 and is accessible via the Internet for free. The game is set in a world, Conra, which is parallel to our Earth. When World War 3 was declared nearly everyone on Conra became extinct. Very few survived. Those that did noticed the Planet Conra, being unique in that it was exactly like Earth. Having exactly the right amounts of Oxygen, Nitrogen and various gasses needed to sustain life. Those survivors now live on Conra. They refer to themselves as "Cornus". They now populate this world. Conra contains eight cities, that was long since abandoned. Now a mystery has begun, will the Conrus uncover it? The spine-chilling story as to why and what happened on Conra? Conra is operated out of the pocket of the Developer, Xaferrow, and is solely maintained by him. Donations help improve the game.
Gameplay
[edit]Overview
[edit]Overview In the game, players explore a futuristic fantasy world that contains eight abandoned cities. As in most role-playing games, players can fight monsters, fight other players, or comit crimes for experience points and money. One of the major forms of interaction is Player vs. Player Combat, PVP, where the dynamic conflict between players play a dominant role in Conra. The other play mechanics include the Stock Market, which allows the players to invest in shares. The biggest part of Conra is the community. Players are encouraged to give their ideas and suggestions and those ideas and suggestions will be implemented if approved by the Admin team.
Background
[edit]The background of Conra planet is set in The Canis Major Dwarf galaxy.[1] The world of Conra consist of eight abandoned cities, known as, "Midworld", "Roma", "Bris", "Kalle", "Narcissa", "Hambry", "Gilead", and "Endworld". Players begin their adventure in Midworld city. When they have grown in level, they can travel to another city with public transport, or their own hovercraft. Many adventures await and mysteries need to be unraveled.
Combat
[edit]A player is able to attack other players [2] and NPCs for money and to gain experience. Attacks are launched via player's profile page. Attacks are calculated automatically, but it depends on each player's statistics and equipped items. It is a complex calculation with multiple rounds of strikes occurring until one of the opponents is reduced to zero HP (Hit Points). To offer a protection for newcomers, players with a level higher than five cannot attack other players that are level five or below. When a player is in a gang, there is a big chance that other gang members will help each other.
Economy
[edit]There are three currencies within the game. The primary currency is called Conra Money, referred to in game with the "$" sign. The secondary currency is called Points, and the last is CGold. Conra Money, "$", is used to buy and sell items, weapons, and other general usage Points are more scarce and used for a specific usage (e.g to recharge energy). Points are obtained by voting for the game and submitting books for the library. However, Points also can be traded for Conra Money. Lastly, CGold is the rare currency in Conra. CGold cannot be sold, or bought. This CGold can be redeemed for very special items in Conra Shop. At current, the only way to receive CGold is to do surveys.
Community
[edit]Conra relies heavily on its community and provides a chat to aid player interactions while playing the game. Integrated Messaging Systems are also included within the game. There are a bit social networking features included within the game, such as Add Comments, Marriage, and rate players. There is also a large forum[3] to post anything about Conra, such as suggestions, news and updates, trade offers, gang announcement and recruitment, etc.
Customization
[edit]The game is designed customization in mind, relying on players to control the game content. Every player is given their own profile page which they are free to customize as they like. They can set up their own avatar image, write their favorite quote, or leave comments for other players to see.
