PointsEnvy is a dynamic economy and role-playing framework, engineered by The CollabGadget Co. and licensed exclusively for deployment on CASTLE.

At its core, PointsEnvy transforms everyday forum activity into measurable progression. Every interaction—whether posting, contributing, or engaging with others—feeds into a structured system of points, transactions, and achievements. These points serve as the foundation for advanced features such as guild formation, cooperative raids, inventory management, and a crafting system powered by recipes.

The plugin also introduces faction and alignment systems, enabling users to define their role within the broader community economy and narrative. Through seamless integration of economic mechanics and role-play elements, PointsEnvy provides a scientific and scalable model for engagement—balancing reward systems, progression loops, and social collaboration.

Furthermore, it incorporates it's own 2d game-world that runs within the forum itself (no install), a self enclosed MMORPG, totally original, and developed/obtained/licensed for exclusive deployment right here on CASTLE forums. Everything we just mentioned about PointsEnvy plugs into our game, changes in game effect forum, and visa versa.

Weather, biomes, civilizations, towns, taxes, war, famine, drought, tradeskills, factions, standings, quests, guilds, and more.

In effect, CASTLE becomes more than a forum. It becomes a living ecosystem where behavior, choice, and strategy shape an evolving experience.
