Virtualpunk is an clean RPG-adventure where you explore the game world using a GPS cell phone.
Can I play Virtualpunk anywhere?
If you have a cell phone that can run the game you should be able to play Virtualpunk anywhere.
Is Virtualpunk free?
Yes Virtualpunk is free. The client is free to download, but to experience all the features of the game you probably want to upgrade to a premium account.
During testing all features will be available to all players for free.
How much does a premium account cost?
A premium account comes with a monthly fee. The fee is not set yet.
In addition there’s a fee on data depending on what cell phone account you are using when playing Dimensions.
How do I understand how the dimensions are arranged
You can think of the different dimensions as layers on top of the real world. You travel between the different dimensions through gates. One dimension can have gates to several other dimensions.
In the game client you will be able to see a map of the dimensions you have unlocked.
How many characters can I have?
Currently you can have one character per account.
When will Virtualpunk be released?
A beta will start in fall of 2008.
How do I become a tester?
There are no formal requirement. You just have to download the client. Create an account and you are a tester.
Can I play Virtualpunk with my friends?
You can explore the world together and talk directly with your friends with no need for a chat feature, VOIP feature or phone calls to be made. We are considering more direct ways to make cooperation and friendly competition available in Virtualpunk.
Is Virtualpunk a player versus player game?
Not directly. There is no player versus player feature, but you can compete with other players by trying to find more locations, defeat more monsters and gather more items than them. Finding rare locations and items can be very rewarding.
What kind of cell phone do I need to play Virtualpunk?
We can’t fully answer this question yet, but we aim to make the game available on as many different cell phones as possible. However at least you have to have an internal or external GPS on your cell phone to be able to play the game.
The first set of graphics for the prototype will be made for a 320 x 240 resolution.
I cant find location X
If you need to find the location as a part of a quest your quest log should give you a hint about in what dimension you can find the location. In addition you could ask your fellow players at the forums how to find a certain location.
Other players will probably not know where to find a location of a certain type closes to you. Your fun will never be spoiled by having to follow a rigid guide.
I’m stuck in dimension X
Look for gates in your dimension. Otherwise you could ask other players at the forum which gate leads to which dimension.
We are also considering a feature to teleport your character back to Arrell. In addition you can return to the Afterworld by being defeated by a monster.
