The gaming industry is constantly evolving, and with it, the way games are monetized. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards play2own and integration of digital collectibles into the Game economy. However, with this, the dangers of a title becoming pay2Win can grow even more. In this blog, we will discuss what this means for the industry and how Forest Knight is actively working to mitigate these risks.

Pay2win

Pay2Win is a controversial model in which players can buy virtual items or advantages in a game with real money, giving them an unfair advantage over other players.

Pay2Win creates an uneven playing field, where those with more money to spend have a significant advantage over others. This can lead to frustration and disillusionment among players who feel that they cannot compete without spending money. This can also result in a decline in player engagement and community spirit, as players who are unable to keep up with the demands of the Pay2Win model may eventually leave the game.

How Forest knight aims to create an even playground

One way to achieve this, Is by implementing a system of “play-to-own”, where players can earn in-game rewards and NFTs through their actions and accomplishments within the game. This incentivizes players to engage with the game and invest time and effort, rather than relying on their wallets to progress. The NFTs earned in Forest Knight can also be traded on various marketplaces, providing players with real-world value for their virtual assets. One of the key features of Forest Knight is its commitment to creating a level playing field for all players, without the influence of Pay2Win mechanics.

Season one rewards reflects on play2win

the season one rewards in Forest Knight were a testament to the game’s commitment to a play-to-win model. Players will be rewarded for their skill and efforts in season one, for example, Our Head of community only played with a complete set of 6/6 accessories that are free to play and finished first in the season’s ranking through dedicated playing

The ultimate key to winning in Forest knight is the skill you learn by playing more and building strategies and that’s to avoid the pay2win methodology.

The positive impact of season one rewards and the event NFTs rewards like “eclipse event” is a clear reflection of the game’s play-to-win philosophy and a sign of its success in creating a fair and even playground for all players. but still, players can purchase gems to reduce progress time but after all in competitive matches the skill only matters

the upcoming season

Season two of Forest Knight promises to be even more exciting and engaging than the first season. With new in-game events, a refined play-to-win model, and new NFTs, players will have even more opportunities to earn rewards and progress through the game.

Our developers are dedicated to creating a fair and even playground, and the changes before season two will help to achieve this goal, making it an enjoyable and rewarding gaming experience for all players.
