The age of play-to-earn (P2E) gaming has been a reality and has steadily been on the rise over the past few years. The introduction of this concept onto the blockchain, deployed alongside non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is something that has increased this appeal to many gamers and investors alike.
There are an insurmountable amount of new NFT gaming protocols that continue to attract large followings and communities. Highlighted by Binance Smart Chain as one of its Spotlight Projects, Faraland is one of the more unique monetized gaming experiences out there.
How Faraland Stands Out From Crowd as Blockchain RPG
Faraland is a turn-based role-playing game (RPG). As a gamer, your role in Faraland is simple. Equip and prepare your heroes for war. One of the challenges in marrying blockchain technology, smart contracts, and gaming is that the quality of the gaming interface invariably suffers.
Faraland developers have ensured to do away with this problem with a very interactive gaming experience. Game players get the ability to see how their characters move around the arena and battle competitors.
Collectible items, for instance, orcs, demons, elves, humans, etc, and rare weaponry and equipment are tokenized and can be upgraded for battle or sold on. There are multiple play-to-earn mechanisms built into the gaming experience, such as direct trading and staking of NFTs.
Players Game to Earn With $FARA Tokens
$FARA is an incentive for users who play Faraland, and it’s displayed as a gem in the game. NFT Heroes will have the floor price calculated in BNB. The price of NFT Heroes will increase through trading and other gaming activities.
The $FARA token was issued in June 2021, starting at $0.26, and has seen rapid growth of over 356.8% as of December 21st, 2021, and currently sits at $1.22. The token also reached an all-time high during the recent bull market with an all-time high of $6.14. The native token plays an important role in facilitating transactions on the platform. It further permits players to purchase NFT characters and enhancements, which in turn give them the opportunity to improve on their battle performances.
Faraland’s Future Roadmap Moves Through Additional Phases
The project is currently in Phase 5 of the implementation of its roadmap. This includes the start of Hero DUEL Arena (Turn-based Combat), the launch of its Android & IOS versions, and troop recruitment & mounting.
Fighting began at the start of December, and dueling heroes will see gains and losses marked in the floor value of their NFTs. Winners get an extra 1% and losers shed 1%The previous phase included bringing its user a complete DAO, which was completed in November. This included introducing the Expedition Text Game, adding equipment enhancements, and learning skill books for NFT heroes.
One of the most appealing aspects of Faraland is its aggressive, yet ambitious roadmap. So far this has included the introduction of hero NFT sales, introducing the $FARA token, and an IDO. Phase 6 of the project in the first quarter of 2022 will include a World Map Release, camping, and an introduction to new monsters.
For gamers who like to design their custom maps, Faraland will also be releasing a brand new custom map feature, which will give gamers the ability to do just that. Phase 7 will see the platform introduce the Guild Battle War between Nations for Resources and a pet system with breeding and evolution.
Introducing the World to Blockchains Through Gaming
As FaraLand moves forward and grows and more players get involved, it aims to become the most used Binance Smart Chain-based game. The concept is to involve not only the avid crypto user but also passionate gamers who have not yet entered the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain technology, and NFT’s.
A recent study found that only 0.5% of the world uses blockchain technology, yet many sources also report that this technology may be the future of several key industries, including finance through DeFi.
The mass-adoption of blockchain technology could one day arrive sooner than later, thanks to games like Faraland, which have worked tirelessly over the last year to improve development and gameplay. It will be interesting to see what 2022 has in store as more people plug into blockchain gaming with Faraland.
