GAME WORLDS

After registration you can choose one or several game worlds (realms)- Virtonomics Entrepreneur, Virtonomics Tycoon or Virtonomics Business War. These realms were created at different time, therefore their level of economic development, update time, game geography, goods variety etc. differ as well. Servers exist independently: you cannot transfer funds, enterprises or qualification. However, you can use same account to play in different realms. To register a new character in one of the realms, go to «My office/Games» and click on «Start game» in a section of suitable realm. In this case you'll have several game characters in different game worlds. To switch server, go to the top right of your screen and select realm (next to the game date).


GAME ECONOMIC

By playing Virtonomics™ you can try various economic sectors: Production, Agriculture, Mining, Science research or Commerce. You can read more about each sector in corresponding part of game Help.

There are two kinds of production: initial (mining, logging, agriculture) and secondary (production of half-finished and finished goods, animal breeding). Most profitable strategy - is construction of production chains which involve several production fields. The more complicated production is, the longer the chain must be. For example, the longest chain is production of Cars. Science research can improve quality of produced goods. However, before starting any science research, you need to create a reliable source of income — profit from science research is not stable.

Commerce (trade) — is the most quick and fastest way to earn stable income. To succeed in this field you need a store, which can sell ANY goods you want to city customers (city population).


GAME GEOGRAPHY

Virtonomics™ game world consists of multiple countries, which are divided into cities and regions. Every city is the center of business activity: variety of enterprises produce consumer goods, extract natural resources and harvest agricultural products. Cities create the stage for retail and wholesale trade. You can open any kind of enterprise in any city you like, but we strongly recommend that you study information about the city in advance (average salary, wealth and education index). If you want to know more, go to Virtonomics world map.

It is important to note, that certain regions and countries have unique features, like additional quality bonus to certain goods, limitations to open certain subdivisions or their maximum size. You can find that information in Analytics > Bonuses and restrictions.
