Introduction

Gold Fever is a survival MMO with RPG elements set in a treacherous early 20th-century jungle, utilizing Ethereum and Polygon blockchains to power a player-driven economy. Players navigate a gold-rich island as Adventurers or Tribals, blending multiplayer competition with cooperative survival in a free-to-play framework. Its integration of cryptocurrency and NFTs distinguishes it, enabling real-world earning potential within a dark, immersive world of greed and conflict.

Lore

In the shadow of a global conflict, Gold Fever unfolds on a remote island in the World’s End Archipelago, where the 1920s gold rush ignites a brutal clash. Adventurers, lured by riches, invade a jungle teeming with gold and danger, only to face the wrath of Tribals defending their ancestral lands and sacred rivers. Themes of greed, betrayal, and survival permeate this tense narrative, where alliances fracture under the weight of “gold fever,” and the wilderness hides horrors—from hostile fauna to the echoes of a vengeful jungle god.

Gameplay

Gold Fever challenges players to mine gold and survive a hostile jungle, progressing through resource gathering and combat prowess. The game unfolds in real-time across a 3D open world, where crafting tools, foraging herbs, and managing stamina are key mechanics. PvP thrives in “mining claims”—arena-style zones where Adventurers and Tribals battle for gold—while PvE pits players against environmental threats. Character classes (e.g., Prospector, Sorcerer) offer customization, and cooperative building of infrastructure like airstrips fosters teamwork.

• Faction asymmetry pits Adventurers’ tech against Tribals’ guerrilla tactics.
• Realistic mechanics, like fall damage, heighten survival stakes.
• Mining claims host dynamic, time-limited gold rushes.

Economy

Gold Fever’s economy leverages Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, with NFTs representing unique items—weapons, tools, buildings—that players own, trade, or rent. Tokens include JUL (non-crypto) for in-game purchases, and NGL (Native Gold) as the core currency earned via mining A decentralized marketplace in jungle towns and external exchanges facilitates trading.

while players earn through play-to-earn activities like crafting, hosting arenas, or lending NGL. The system balances accessibility with depth, tying gold to both wealth and narrative sacrifice.

• NGL’s real-world value drives a robust play-to-earn model.
• NFTs accrue value from utility and in-game history.
