Verse Studios is pleased to announce that they have officially released the first of a number of video game industry white papers the company is collaborating on. The paper, entitled "Real World Economic Structures in Massively Multiplayer Online Games", examines some of the pressing problems facing large online game economies found in many MMOGs.

"We saw a serious problem in online game economies that was leading to players getting frustrated, leaving a game, or circumventing game rules and mechanics. Rather than simply approach the problem as a rule enforcement issue, we attempted to find some solutions to the problems faced by large online economies. We are implementing some of them in our upcoming product Verse: Tactics." said Verse Studios co-founder and CCO Marcus Riedner.

The white paper can be found on the Verse Studios website at http://www.verse-studios.com/economicsinmmos.html and is available for syndication.

Verse: Tactics

Verse: Tactics, the first product to begin development at Verse Studios, is an exciting space combat game combining traditional RTS action and community-driven game play. Verse: Tactics will let players control every aspect of the battlefield, from tactical command to large spaceship control to dog-fighting.

Verse: Tactics focuses on real-time strategic game play in which teams of players engage in space warfare in massive to-scale 3D arenas. Building teams and taking up sides in a conflict, players will engage in combat, tactical and strategic planning and resource gathering in order to achieve victory. Each battle scenario will be a unique and exciting experience filled with surprises and explosive game-play action. Players will have statistics that are tracked and charted over multiple battles, allowing players to not only compete in battle, but also on game-wide scoreboards for top positions in the community.
