How can Web3 MMOs games find a way out?

原作者：昊天

Yesterday, @Delphi_Digital published a report on web3 MMOs, which introduced how @MetaCeneGame acquired users based on blockch人工智能n architecture and how ServerFis new game paradigm was implemented. After reading it, I briefly share a few thoughts:

1) An early investor of Black Wukong said that he would not invest in web3 games because they did not love games. This statement resonated with many practitioners. In the web3 game market dominated by GameFi, this statement really hit the soft spot of some web3 games nakedly and accurately.

Highlighting the Fi attribute while ignoring the characteristics of the game itself is the key to why the GameFi track has been long awaited but has not ushered in the next spring. In other words, web3 games must first be games before we can talk about the various values of the web3 economic model mechanism.

2) In addition to Metacene, there are also experienced teams such as Avalon, MapleStory Universe, and Project Awakening that are planning to develop web3 MMORPGs. In addition to the short-term hype of GameFi, the convenient payment system, player asset ownership, and transparency of the game economic model of blockchain technology itself also have innovation and incentive factors that cannot be ignored for MMORPG games themselves.

Although the phenomenon of bad money driving out good money exists in every industry, the good money that remains dormant and persistent is the source of industry confidence.

3) Metacene was created by a team with backgrounds in web2 games such as Shanda Games, Blizzard, and Perfect World, and is practicing the new gaming paradigm of ServerFi from a longer-term perspective. It focuses on long-term participation and value creation, and reduces the original intention of Ponzi structural risk speculation.

This makes it look more like a qualified web2-level game, and is trying to use the web3 token model to build an in-game economic system. It is still unknown whether such an exploration can succeed, but at a time when everyone doubts the misalignment of the values of web3 games, its appearance is just in time.

4) Web3 game incentive models such as Play to Earn, Dual Currency Model, Liquidity Mining, and NFT Staking cannot determine the success or failure of a game. The key lies in who the user group is. If it is just some short-term FOMO speculators, the user attributes will naturally determine that the game will not go too far;

If there are a group of players who really play the game and have high retention and high loyalty, and the short-term profit expectations no longer form the games decay entropy, then the game does not need to be too popular, and a group of loyal fans (paying players) can support the continued survival of a game. Whether it is web2 or web3, most successful games are like this.

CNBC said the data showed that the United States has passed the environment of ultra-high inflation. Moderate inflation data may mean that the Federal Reserve can turn its attention to other economic challenges, such as employment rate. Data: PPI data, an indicator of producer inflation, showed that prices rose by only 0.2% in July and were up about 2.2% year-on-year. This figure is now very close to the Feds 2% target, indicating that market expectations for the central bank to start cutting interest rates are basically on target. CPI data, an indicator of consumer inflation, showed a year-on-year growth rate of 2.9% over the past 12 months,…
