2. Social interaction
In ANNO1777 social interaction has been a priority since planning the game. The way
of communication between players is made by various channels such as direct
messages comments or private discussions with friends. We will review each
chapter.
Direct messages
The message system is very similar to an e-mail program, only the messages that are
send to other players. In the upper menu there is a link towards the messaging
system. He link shows how many unread messages are. In the message page you can
see the messages you received, sent, erased and you can also block the messages
coming from certain players. To send a message to a player, go to heading Write a
Message. Fill in the recipient section with the name of the player to whom you want
to send a message, the subject field, the text and click on Send button from the
bottom page. The message will be immediately sent to the recipient and it will also
appear at the heading Sent (if the recipient has not read the message, it will appear
in bold in the heading Sent). You can erase the messaged received at any time. Also
if you consider that you do not want to receive messages from a certain player, you
can block the delivering of the messages by clicking on the link Block the Messages of
the Sender (which you can find at the end of each received message). If however you
change your mind, you will find the list of everyone whom you do not want to
receive messages from on heading Ignore. You can eliminate a player from this list at
any time.
Comments
ANNO1777 allows you to express your opinion about a wide range of subjects. You
can comment any article and decision taken by the government. At the end of each
comment, your signature is visible which represents an excellent way of advertising.
Friends and discussions with friends
You can invite any player to join your group of friends. You can also send messages
which will be visible only in your group of friends. To send a friend invitation to a
player, go to the profile page of the player and click the button Friend. The player
will receive a friend invitation and if he accepts it, he will enter your group of friends.
Go on the first page, on heading Discuss with Friends. You can see there the list of
friends and the list of messages sent by them. Type a message in the box from the
right side and click on the button Post Message. The message will immediately
appear and can be viewed by all your friends. Also on this page you can exclude a
player from your group of friends.
3. Affiliates and partnership
ANNO1777 is the first game which offers players the possibility to become real partners byway of the shares in the game. The program for
affiliates allows you to easily make money by bringing new players in the system. Let's discuss each aspect.
Affiliates
The affiliated program represents a very easy way to obtain an income by bringing new players in ANNO1777. Each player has a personal link. All
players who register byway of that link become your permanent slaves and you will receive a percentage of up to 10% of all the earnings
generated as long as they are active. This includes any amount that they collect. The taxes are of course paid only if that particular slave is not
sold, because permanent slaves can also e sold just like the rest of the slaves. The taxes from these slaves are collected NO MATTER who their
direct proprietor is. We will list below some details regarding the affiliates' program.
ON heading Affiliates from the main menu you will find your personal link and the report regarding the number of the registered persons byway
of your personal link
NO player can register in the game without another player's personal link. This means that everyone is the permanent slave of another player.
This aspect is important because no one can cheat by erasing the affiliated code from the link. Without the affiliated code, your registration is
denied. You can be sure from now on that if you post your personal link on other sites, everyone will register byway of it or NOT.
Permanent slaves are the players who registered byway of your personal link and have checked their telephone number by text message. You
will find the list of permanent slaves on heading Battle / Permanent Slaves.
Permanent slaves can be sold for gold on a separate market, apart from that of the direct slaves. To put on sale a slave, go to heading Battle /
Permanent Slaves and click on the button Sell in front of it. Make sure that you have checked first the prices on heading Slaves' Market /
Permanent Slaves.
4. Partnership program
This program is unique on the players; market and offers you the possibility of effectively buying a piece of ANNO1777. You will also
receive dividends from owned shares. The system is simple. In a usual game, all the advantages purchased by players are
automatically withdrawn by the company which administers the game. In ANNO1777, these sums enter in a special fund named
the game fund. The game fund has 10.000 shares available, of which 1000 had been put on sale. Any sum which the fund collects is
distributed to shareholders depending on the number of shares owned. There are reports in real time regarding the earnings and
the balance fund. You can find them on heading Partners from the main menu. The game fund has expenses but also earnings and
the earnings are much above the expenses, so a share investment in this game is profitable.
First of all, in ANNO1777 all earnings and expenses of the fund are in EURO. When the shareholders' fund the amount of 1000
EURO is collected, the money will automatically be divided to shareholders, each one receiving 0.1 EURO/ share. The shares can be
purchased in two ways. Directly from the game or from a secondary market. The secondary market is the market that the actual
share owners can sell their owned shares. You can find this market on heading Partners / Secondary Market. Also on this page you
can find the list with the last earnings of the fund. We will discuss below the sources of income and the expenses of the fund
The fund receives money when:
Advertising is purchased directly on site.
A slave is blocked
A travel is immediately closed
A battle is immediately closed
An operating license is purchased
A player withdraws virtual EUROS in real EUROS.
The fund spends money:
When a player recharges his account with real money, the fund generates 3 bonuses. The first one if the bonus for direct owner.
The second one is the bonus for permanent slave and the third one is the bonus for the budget state of the citizen who has
recharged his account.
