IS NOR A VIDEO GAME?
No, NOR is a universe and an economic platform for video games, specifically any that can be called an “esport”. All esports have a few things in common:
- Easy to learn/Hard to master
- High skill ceiling
- No unfair advantages: no purchased power-ups, weapons, suits, or anything that makes it possible to buy your way into becoming a more powerful player.
Our first titles are being built right now, starting with our flagship esport FASTER. We’re always looking for smart innovators, so if you’re building a game that might be a fit for NOR, don’t hesitate to Contact us.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN NOR?
The cost of an Aspect of the Nine. To play in NOR’s economy, you have to own an Aspect. Think of it as your unique passport into the NOR universe. With an Aspect, you can play any part of NOR’s economic game, from sponsoring players to buying/selling land to speculating on the outcomes of any number of tournaments.
HOW DO YOU PLAY NOR'S ECONOMY GAME?
First you need an Aspect. Then you need decide who you want to be. A team owner? Start by sponsoring one of the FASTER players and pay for them to “go pro”: this allows a player to join the tournaments played in our Arena Perilous, where losing means death and winning means glory.
Or maybe you want to own virtual land in the city of Khora, home of the Arena Perilous and the center of the NOR universe. If advertising or sponsorships are your thing, you can purchase ad space within the games themselves, or develop your own game-streaming channel, piped directly from any NOR game.
There are many ways to play in NOR. It begins with an Aspect and the ending is up to you.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PLAY THE VIDEO GAMES IN NOR?
Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Not only are our games free, but we’ve designed it so money can’t enter the actual gameplay. Players literally cannot buy anything inside the games themselves. This means players can’t buy a powerful sword or gun and then bring that unfair advantage with them. The victory conditions of every player are determined solely by that player’s skill.
NOR’s games are 100% free, and players cannot purchase any unfair advantage. Ever.
