Hello guys,
Welcome to my blog
Today I am going to share something special with all of you. One more important thing that this is not a tutorial but this is a real-time experience.
Dcity is a simulated game which can be played for real money. This game is complex yet interesting.
I started playing this game 3 days ago and earned 200 sim coins which are equivalent to 1 hive. I invested 120 hive coin in this game and now my city is earning for me. I found this game really interesting that I am giving it almost 3 to 4 hours daily to understand it. It looks like an easy game but I am telling you, folks, it's a difficult game to play.
To start this game, everyone needs to have a keychain which can be obtained from the link mentioned here.
First, you have to download the keychain from GitHub and download the zip file mentioned in the image below. After extraction from the zip file open hive-keychain extension in google chrome and select developer mode. You will then be asked to upload file, you have to select the 'load unpacked' and upload the whole extracted folder.
Then choose a password which you have to insert every time you login into dcity. Then you have to import your account using your active key. It's my suggestion not to use your master password in the keychain. Then you have to insert your posting key which allows you to do everything on dcity. The active key used for the transaction and posting key is used for login and making changes to your city.
After login, the next step is to build your city. For building the city, everyone needs to have hive or sim coins to buy buildings, citizens etc. I started with 58 hive which I have transferred from my Binance account to my hive account. Then I clicked on the buy button and Bought 5 cards in my first attempt. Keychain always asks you to perform a transaction. In the beginning, I bought an apartment, restaurant, luxury house, basic home and cinema. I was so confused that time that whats gonna happen next. I really did not know what to do next. Then I saw a few things on the left side which shows my earning every 24 hours, population to bring in 2h. Now it's giving me further exposure for the game. I spent all of the hive in buying cards and then another problem arises that is most of my cards were red, that means I was out of the population. every card allows you to earn sim tokens but you need to have the population for every card like I got 10 cards but there was a shortage of 49 population. To move further I went to the market which you can see on the upper side of the dcity.io webpage and there I have seen that people are selling their parts of the city in exchange of hive and sim tokens.
I was short of the hive and again I transferred some hive from my Binance account. After which, I bought 20 basic homes as one basic home gives us a population and a little bit of income. Now its been 3 days here. This is where I stand now.
Ranking
For better knowledge, one has to understand the nature of cards. There are different categories of cards.
In my opinion, players have to buy 1st edition cards first and then 2nd edition cards and for the population, players need to buy workers, homeless and immigrants cards.
Bank, apartment, airport and many others are the most important cards of dcity. Players are selling these cards at a very high value.
Pro-tip - No need to buy many cards directly from Dcity as cards like a basic home, park and many others can be purchased at a very low price from the market.
Robbery
I also want to share a hilarious thing about my dcity, after reading the tutorials here on hive, I thought it's my 2nd day and I will not be robbed so early but unfortunately, I robbed on the second day. I got a notification on dcity that My bank has been robbed and my second day earning was nothing.
Rewards
There are two types of rewards in Dcity
- Sim Tokens - Daily earning from the city.
- Hive - Earning from the reward pool on the basis of your ranking in Dcity.
Auction
Players can check the auction on a daily basis. Here you can buy cards on cheap value like its all like a bidding system but beware of bidding high in the auction as it becomes a loss for you sometime.
Ranking
Ranking page reflects the ranking of all the players and the reward pool distribution.
Conclusion on Dcity
First of all, this is not a tutorial as this is my own experience and I can tell you dcity is an interesting game and I am still building my city. anyone can recover the investment in 6 to 8 months as per my calculation. Well that was my bit I am still learning and will be back with some more hours of playing and experience. Also stay tuned for more updates, tips and tricks.
