Legend of Arcadia (LoA), a new card-based RPG set in an expansive universe inspired by Kingdom Hearts, is bringing a community-driven operational model to Web 3.0 gaming.
With a focus on sustainable growth, LoA aims to establish itself as a leading platform by integrating blockchain technology, unique NFT mechanics and community-centric features that foster long-term player engagement.
As the Web 3.0 gaming industry is forecasted to grow to $305 billion by 2030, LoA stands out by addressing key sustainability issues that have previously limited the success of Web 3.0 gaming ventures.
Many blockchain-based games have struggled with player retention and engagement, often due to unsustainable reward systems.
LoA’s approach built on years of gaming experience from its team’s work with industry leaders like Tencent, Hero Entertainment and Seasun Studios centers on creating an inclusive, feedback-driven community.
Community-driven growth and operations
Legend of Arcadia (LoA), a card-based RPG game built on a vast story universe inspired by Kingdom Hearts, has a strong vision for reimagining live operations in Web 3.0, called community-driven operations.
The formula combines building a sticky and vocal community driven by a strong feedback loop and nimble implementation of the ideas. This has helped LoA stand out from others.
The team has spent the past two years perfecting the formula based on their decade-long experience in driving high DAU (daily active users) and retention at leading game companies such as Tencent, Hero Entertainment and Seasun Studios.
At the same time, they have been building a strong community of over 60,000 with users that actively interact with the team and provide them with feedback.
The right feedback loop between the community and the developer has led to innovative tactics for driving community engagement.
For example, rather than hosting traditional alpha tests, the team mixed the idea of esports and competition and invited people to form their own teams to compete during the test.
This led to a brand new guild, called, ‘Alter Ego Guild,’ being formed in the community, and they remain some of the game’s biggest supporters, helping new players onboard and get deep into LoA.
During its three-month campaign, LoA had over 100,000 registered users with minimal marketing spend.
It also has very high next-day and seven-day retention of 75% and 56%, respectively higher than many traditional games’ 50% and 20%.
As it moves toward its TGE (token generation event) and official game launch, the community continues to provide feedback and support the team.
With backing from over 10 investors, including Animoca Brands and OKX Ventures, LoA can further develop the game’s vastness, ensuring the community is constantly engaged with new content and utilities of its native token, ARCA.
This ranges from the endless possibilities of different NFT heroes to the countless actions and ways to earn ARCA tokens.
Innovative NFT mechanics and extensive gameplay
In LoA, each NFT hero is unique, with randomized genetic traits such as appearance and abilities drawn from a large gene pool of over five trillion combinations, including over 48 types of basic attributes, over 40,000 skill combinations and more than 28 million gene combinations.
This ensures that no two NFT heroes are the same.
The game team, supported by AI, has also created countless words and storylines, shaping different toy characters and enriching the stories of LoA.
It also enhances player retention by implementing seasonal demands created by the in-game mechanics, which will eventually boost the trading volume.
ARCA token distribution and roadmap
In LoA, players can earn tokens through a variety of activities and strategies involving their NFT heroes.
Inspired by a system commonly used in Web 2.0 games, by combining ‘white ores’ from mining with ‘black ores’ earned in battles, they can produce ARCA tokens.
Heroes can also be customized through special events and features, which not only alter their appearance but can also provide gameplay advantages, such as enhanced mining power when using event-specific skins.
Players can also participate in PvE (player versus environment) content by clearing dungeons and defeating bosses for valuable loot or diving into PvP (player versus player) battles to compete against others for rewards and climb seasonal leaderboards for even greater gains.
To further boost their earnings, players can stake ARCA tokens, unlocking additional rewards like free NFTs or a share of profits from NFT sales, adding another layer of value to their in-game investments.
In addition to earning tokens through in-game monetization, LoA further enhances sustainability by distinguishing between in-game and external economic factors.
This structure allows players to monetize external elements, such as staking ARCA tokens for special privileges and rewards or sharing in proceeds from NFT assets.
This approach aims to foster long-term value creation over short-term speculative gains.
LoA will have a total supply of 40,000,000 ARCA tokens that are distributed among seven pools where each pool will be further subdivided into different rank tiers based on the amount of ‘Gacha points’ earned.
With countless opportunities and activities in the world of LoA, the game constantly rejuvenates the excitement of its community and players, which will ensure its sustainability in the long run.
The game also has plans for extensive single-player content (PvE mode) and multiplayer modes where players can form teams and challenge others in real-time battles.
Legend of Arcadia is currently set to launch in November 2024.
