In-game time
Game speed
Our economic business simulator lives in its own accelerated time, in the "1x7" proportion in relation to the real time. This means that in one day in real life one week passes in the game.
When communicating with other players in the game, it is а common practice to clarify that the period you are talking about is gaming or real. In case no refinement is used, it is usually assumed that this is a real time period.
Some players who played the good old economic simulators may call the game week with word "turn", that is one real day.
Time period
The storyline of the economiXonline economic game is taking place these days, which means that the borders of countries and their statistical and economic indicators, the level of world technological development and the design of the appearance of products are real.
For instance, in the list of production of external media you will not find technically outdated tapes based on magnetic tapes, and the three-dimensional design of game models, for example, cars or home appliances, corresponds to today's views on standards.
We periodically add new devices and gadgets to the game, as well as absorb obsolete products.
If a technical breakthrough is made in the real world, then a new product in the game can either expand the product group or replace the outdated competing position. First time, the new technology for this product will be available only to a few random companies in the game who carried out scientific research in cross science areas.
The higher the current level of research in the company, the higher the chance to make a scientific breakthrough and get a short-term exclusive on products.
