 Just like the web, virtual worlds are a new medium. As a medium, virtual worlds can be used in radically different ways—entertainment, business collaboration, socializing, simulation, et cetera. "Frontier 1859" is a next-generation virtual world proposal where the actions of role playing characters can affect and change the world around them. Families may work together to build and run frontier Tribes and Towns. They will face the typical challenges of living in the wilderness, learning basic survival, and progressing into the social, entrepreneurial, political and military challenges the Emigrant Settlers and Native Americans were facing.
When we test-polled our community in the "Funded by Gamers for Gamers" thread on our forums, 82% of community voters opted for a $25.00 "Boomtown Membership" as opposed to the $10.00 "Concord Coach Membership" or the $5.00 "Trail Buster Membership." Our community now reaches out Internationally. Even though Frontier 1859 is not yet funded, the project continues to garner new registered members, and receives some of the best feedback in the business. The next phase is to secure production financing, ramp up to full production staffing, and deliver the online world experience through the PC and other broadband-enabled devices.
