Sharing some of the current thinking around the economy for Axie's MMO. https://blog.axieinfinity.com/p/atias-legacy-founders-note All of this is current thinking and dynamic, but we wanted to share this ahead of today's first playtest. The playtest will focus on the movement, combat, and social interactions so we want to make sure that you guys focus on that while having a glimpse into the economic endgame via this note. Here's the FAQ for faster reading: ❓ Question: How might Axie XP/Evolution be integrated into Atia’s Legacy? ✅ Answer: We envision them carrying over. AXP Levels: If core progression carries over to Atia’s Legacy, leveled-up axies could have meaningful in-game advantages Evolved Parts: Like AXP Levels, these could increase the overall strength and flexibility of your axie and team. For example, end-game Dungeons might be easier to complete with higher-level axies or evolved parts. ❓ Question: How might collectible axie NFTs be integrated? ✅ Answer: They’ll most likely unlock extra features. Exclusive Content: Imagine getting access to exclusive dungeons, areas, skills, and cosmetics reserved for collectibles only. This might look like a walkable Mystic Mountain where Mystic holders can gather. Higher potential: A collectible axie may not be stronger than a regular axie, but it can have unique benefits that change the game. For example, collectible axies might faint in a situation where most axies would be destroyed. Collectibles may also have a higher Mystic drop rate on certain items in certain areas, and vertical progression could also be higher. ❓ Question: What’s the plan for Guilds? ✅ Answer: We’d like to develop guild-based gameplay a lot. Backbone of a strong economy: We’re thinking about ways Guilds can shape the future of Axie itself. Guilds could be more than social hubs: They can become vehicles to introduce risk, reward, and glory to our community. Complex economics. New game loops. Remember: These are still work-in-progress, early thoughts. Deep Token Loops and Warfare: Guilds can make it possible to introduce new ways to spend and use tokens. They can also enable large-scale, collective experiences where players contribute to each other’s success. In many ways, everything built into Atia’s Legacy can roll into the Guild system. ❓ Question: How might Land NFT assets be integrated? ✅ Answer: We envision them playing a pivotal part in Guilds while unlocking new content. New game content: Think land decoration, Dungeon creation, land buildings, farming on Land. Unlocking Guilds and Territories: Land can be a key piece of Guild + Guild War mechanisms. Atia’s Legacy opens up a lot of opportunities where activity on your Land can drive meaningful economic power for you and your Guild. ❓ Question: How might AXS be integrated? ✅ Answer: We believe AXS can be the backbone of Atia’s Legacy. The beating heart of Lunacia: AXS should continue to serve as the premium currency for the Axie ecosystem, and will be like a store of value within Atia’s Legacy. More AXS levers: We’re looking at novel ways to drive economic activity around AXS, and are even considering sinking other tokens to support AXS. For example, imagine features that drive AXS staking, new NFTs mintable with AXS, more content purchaseable with AXS, and so on. ❓ Will there be new tokens / NFTs? ✅ Answer: Most likely, yes. Novel token incentives: Atia’s Legacy makes it possible to introduce new NFTs and ERC-20C tokens that make rewards even more interesting. Spender acquisition: We’re in early discussions for potential NFT sales that would target big spenders and active users beyond Axie and Ronin and across all of Web3. For example, picture game loops fueled by apptokens that are reliant on AXS emissions. Read through some of Jihoz’s early thoughts on ERC-20C apptokens here. ❓ Question: Who is the ideal player profile for Atia’s Legacy? ✅ Answer: We’re thinking about four categories. The Axie-Committed, Axie-Lapsed, Axie-Informed, and Axie-Curious. Axie-Committed: If you love Axie, Atia’s Legacy is for you. We want to make our OGs happy as we build together over the coming years. This is about delivering the experience we’ve all dreamed of from the beginning. Axie-Lapsed: These are community members who have drifted away from our ecosystem over the years. We want Atia’s Legacy to go back to Axie’s roots and appeal to players who believed in Axie before. Axie-Informed: There’s a large number of Web3 users who know about Axie but have yet to jump in. Maybe they were looking for a specific kind of experience, or felt like they missed out. Atia’s Legacy can be a fresh opportunity for them to join our community and even spark the excitement we all felt upon discovering Axie for the first time. Axie-Curious: This is where Atia’s Legacy can support Web3 gaming and the crypto industry as a whole. We’d like to expand to users on the fringes of Web3 and even Web2 by giving them easy onramping opportunities through Atia’s Legacy. Atia’s Legacy is the kind of game you should be able to show your mom and normie friends.(Jihoz.ron)
