Question 1

What happened with Steam?

Accepted Answer

Steam decided to remove Age of Rust from the Steam platfrom because NFTs can be sold for real-world currency off their platform. They have also updated their terms to block blockchain and NFTs from using the platform.

Question 2

Is the game free? Is the beta free?

Accepted Answer

The game will have an initial cost which unlocks Season 1. Seasons 2 & 3 will unlock by spending Rustbits to unlock them.

The beta playtest is free and requires no tokens to play. The beta playtest was recently removed from Steam and will have a new platform for the game soon.

Question 3

Is the game out yet?

Accepted Answer

Not yet, but the Beta for Season 1 was available in the 2nd quarter of 2021.  Currently, the Beta Playtest was removed by Steam, we are in the process of finding a new distribution playform for the game. The game is scheduled for release in 2022.

Question 4

Is the Beta out yet?

Accepted Answer

The beta was released on Steam in June 2021, however, the playtest can no longer be downloaded at the moment. We're in the process of finding a new distribution platform for the game. As soon as something is available, I'll make sure to tag everyone to let them know. The full game (Seasons 1 & 2) will be released in 2022.

Question 5

Do I need NFTs to play the game?

Accepted Answer

To play the basic game, you only need to link the Enjin wallet to the game, but you don't need any tokens to start.

However, the game has multiple reward levels for solving puzzles. To get access to the higher level reward puzzles and potential to unlock a bounty for additional NFTs, you need tokens.   You can claim the NFTs as well to access more puzzles, however they are limited and you must solve difficult puzzles

Question 6

Since the treasure hunts require gold cards (tokens in your enjin wallet), can I get those in the game without buying them?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are some gold card tokens available as bounties in the game for solving special puzzles.

Question 7

What tokens do I need to play the free beta?

Accepted Answer

Any Age of Rust token list here:  https://enjinx.io/eth/project/3056/assets

You can also access the free beta with this Enjin Minted Age of Rust MFT token: https://enjinx.io/eth/asset/27103

Question 8

Where will the game be available?

Accepted Answer

in October 2021, the game was removed from Steam, we are in the process of selecting a new distribution platform for the game.

Question 9

I own an Enjin Age of Rust MFT, what does that do?"

Accepted Answer

The token looks like the image to the left. It was minted by Enjin and was given away to early Enjin adopters in mini-games and QR scans. It's called a Multiverse Founders Token, but has caused some confusion because the crowdfund project founders token for Age of Rust (minted by SpacePirate Games) is the Origin token.   However, owning the Enjin AoR MFT token allowed you to access the early Beta.

Question 10

Where can I purchase the NFTs to play the higher bounty levels?

Accepted Answer

The tokens you need are the "Mission Tokens" and "Rustbits", you can find the 10 mission tokens on the Enjin Marketplace or Opensea. 
 Enjin Marketplace   OpenSea Age of Rust Store 
Check the Enjin page for more details.

Question 11

Some of your other games had crypto ciphers in them, do I need to know ciphers to solve the puzzles?"

Accepted Answer

No you don't. There are no traditional crypto puzzles in Age of Rust, you're not required to blindly solve encryption or book ciphers for any of the puzzles.  While some of the puzzles might require basic knowledge of math or the alphabet, many of the puzzles contain the hints and clues required to solve them, even though occasionally obscured.
