Upcoming Web3 MMORPG Forgotten Runiverse is nearing the launch of Early Access, ahead of the debut of their long-awaited $XP token.
Rather than launch a token and then build an economy around it – an approach that has been pursued by many blockchain games to mixed results – Forgotten Runiverse is developing a well-rounded MMO economy first, and then introducing the $XP token – the game’s primary ecosystem currency.
Across alpha and beta tests to date, Forgotten Runiverse players have logged over 1.46 million hours of gameplay, with over $700,000 USD having been spent on in-game purchases. This has seen the game become, according to DappRadar, the #1 Web3 RPG and #4 Web3 Game during its testing period.
What is Forgotten Runiverse?
Forgotten Runiverse is a free-to-play Web3 MMORPG, built on Ronin, and available on PC and mobile via browser.
Developed by Bisonic, and based on the lore of the Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult NFT collection, players take the form of Wizards that can harness magical abilities through the Runiverse itself. Players explore a vast open world, engage in PvE and PvP combat, and loot and craft valuable items and gear.
As the game progresses, players aim to revive specific Runes through gameplay, revealing stories, animations, artwork and more. Each NFT holder will have the opportunity to craft an original story for their character, to feature in-game and be recorded in the on-chain Book of Lore.
On top of the Forgotten Runiverse game, the ecosystem includes an online comic, and upcoming animated series, and a digital collectibles ecosystem.
How do I earn $XP?
Though $XP has yet to be released, players can begin building an allocation of the token right now.
The main in-game currency of Forgotten Runiverse is Quanta. Players earn Quanta by defeating enemies, crafting items, and trading resources and gear alike. Quanta can be spent during Claim Events to unlock token rewards from partner projects, or can be held, where it will convert into a future allocation of $XP when launched.
The $XP token – which is yet to have a set release date – will unlock exclusive in-game perks, boosts and advantages for players, giving them an edge over the competition.
During the Early Access phase, which is set to begin later this month, over 21 trillion Quanta will be airdropped to players. This gives them the option to exchange this airdrop for partner tokens, or keep a hold of it ahead of the release of the $XP token.
