Hidn Studio, the creators of Humanity Contained, has taken a different route than other gaming companies regarding server ownership. Traditionally, gaming companies own the servers, with people playing their games paying through a subscription model, skins, or marketplace buys. This model has made gaming companies billions of dollars without financial benefit to the player.
Players can create private servers or rent servers depending on their skill set, providing an opportunity to build a community, receive donations, create mods to sell, build a YouTube channel or stream to generate an income.
The problem with this approach is that most popular games have terms of service that prevent real money trading, i.e., selling gold. Yes, there are ways to generate income within the terms of service, but it takes time to create a server that people are willing to donate for running costs; the other way is to sell mods, which requires some coding experience.
The real issue is that the terms of service contain a clause that prevents actual money trading, which is a risk to your business. Hidn Studio has removed the clause about actual money trading, which means server owners (World leaders) can legitimately provide in-game assets that value adds to the player’s game. For example, I have an artist designing a dragon bed to be converted to a 3D model for in-the-game house decorating. Note this does not mean players can pay to win.
Server Ownership in Humanity Contained is aligned with the World Leader role. Being a World Leader in Humanity Contained is like running an online business. It’s a step beyond managing a game server in titles like GTA RP, Minecraft, or Rust, as it empowers owners with unparalleled control and monetization opportunities.
What it Means to be a world leader
Marketplace
Each server has a marketplace for players to purchase in-game items with bit notes (The in-game currency), which is 1000 bit notes equal to USD 1.00. Bit notes can be exchanged for Hidn Credits, which can be exchanged for your currency. Players can also buy Bit notes from the marketplace. When any sale happens in the market, the server owner will receive 20% of the total purchases that occur once a month.
Membership
Humanity Contained contains four membership levels: Citizen, Merchant, World Leader, and Server Manager.
Project Spartan
It is the business side of Hidn Studio, where people come to learn how to make the right moves, turn gaming into an online business, gain support for Aspiring Server Owners, and Empower Content Creators. Learn about innovative marketing opportunities for companies, real money trading in the game and personnel development.
World leaders who do not want to play the game or know how to run a server can learn to run their server from Project Spartan or employ a server manager to run their server for them.
