Greed Monger is taking what people love about the Sims and sticking it into the MMORPG fantasy realm. People love building and creating, just look at Little Big Planet. So why have static housing when you can build your own castle, fort, elevated pontoon straw scarecrow house… uh ok maybe not that last one. Interestingly this free to play title has a twist if you want to build you need a parcel of land, to get land it will cost you $20 real world dollars. To sweeten this virtual land grab you can resell your land through the Estate Auction Service where the developers get 15% you get the rest. This was one of the big ideas in Star Wars Galaxies, player run cities and towns and Greed Monger is bringing that back. On the kickstarter they state, “Day one launch will be you, other players and what nature has established for you to explore. As towns, villages and even cities begin to take shape, it will be because you, the players organized and built them over time.” There is some really awesome ideas going on in this kickstarter so head on down below, watch the video and kick it if you like it!

PRESS RELEASE
Greed Monger Kickstarter Success!
A new MMO world will be born from the hands of men!
Nov 13, 2012 – With 16 days to go, Greed Monger for PC and Mac (www.greedmonger.com) has officially passed its Kickstarter Goal and now begins work on the first of multiple stretch goals. Imagine, if you will, a land teeming with life; forests, rivers, animals, monsters… and nothing else. No buildings. No people. Welcome to Greed Monger, a land that will literally be shaped by its players, where unlimited opportunity and infinite danger lurks on the horizon of every footfall. Join the Kickstarter event and gain access to the game, anything from a small plot of land to an entire guild run island athttp://kck.st/TXKUKS.
In Greed Monger the first players will set foot into an unpopulated world and begin building the foundations of civilization. With crude tools made from bones and wood, and huts made of little more than mud and hay, will flourish true civilization that will advance over time. A unique dynamic quest system will establish towns, cities, inns, and more. Players will battle, loot, and tame the land, expanding ever further into the vast wildernesses of harsher climates in their quest for ever better tools to continue their conquest. Combat is not the end, it is merely the beginning, as players will join together to construct massive structures, beautiful works of art, and create the very story within the game.
Greed Monger is a free to play experience, where players can fight, hunt, and gain skills as much as they want. If a player desires they can purchase a land parcel, which will allow them to construct their very own house, trader stall, and more. After this, a player can sell their land and the structures on it in a real cash transaction, giving real world impact to their virtual lives.
The kickstarter event still has 16 days to go! This is the only opportunity to purchase large scale land parcels. After the event closes, purchases will be limited to a set number of land areas. For single players, gain access to the game for as little as $25. For guilds, from $300 you can own a 16 player guild with 16 parcels of land and have your village on the world map at the start. This goes all the way to the grand daddy of them all, a $3,500 Royal Castle on your own 60 parcel island with access to 65 of your guildmates. No matter your budget or if you are in a guild, there’s a package for everyone. Find out more at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/appleton/greed-monger-a-crafting-focused-sandbox-mmorpg
