Hello Knights and PlayDapp Gamers!

The hotly anticipated blockchain upcycling of Along with the Gods, introducing NFT and PlayDapp Marketplace functionality, is right around the corner, and we’re getting close to release after a lot of hard work at PlayDapp.

We know players unfamiliar with blockchain and NFTs may be wondering just what this means, and how it will affect you as players, so we’ll break it down for you!

In fact, we’re so committed to making a smooth transition for all our players, that we will be running an AMA, ready for when the blockchain upcycled version of Along with the Gods: Knights of the Dawn launches. We’ll be dropping more details on this soon, so pay attention to our communities.

We also want to let you know that we’ll be holding some big events to celebrate the launch, where you can win NFTs, valuable in-game items, and PLA tokens, so keep an eye out for more details soon!

What are NFTs?

You may have heard about NFTs during the recent NFT boom, but what exactly are NFTs? NFT stands for non-fungible token. An NFT is a unique digital asset on the blockchain that represents an object like art, music, in-game items, tickets, and videos, and they are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptocurrencies. An NFT allows the buyer to own the original item. Not only that, it contains built-in authentication, which serves as proof of ownership. Gaming is a natural fit for the usage of NFTs.

For a more detailed look at NFTs you can refer to this external article here:

Along with the Gods blockchain upcycling will allow players to convert certain game items (Max Level Ancient God Heroes and Runes) to NFTs and trade these NFTs on the PlayDapp Polygon Marketplace for cryptocurrency. You can also convert purchased NFTs into game items you can use in Along with the Gods.

How does this benefit Along with the Gods players?

With the new system, you, the player, will be rewarded for playing. Players will now have true ownership over their game items, giving them full utility and control, and a whole new way of gaming to explore.

Both selling and buying NFTs in Along with the Gods will be a huge game-changer for players. Need some Philosopher Runes for PvP but can’t beat the Python Raid just yet? Then head to the Marketplace and pick some up! Need an extra copy of Alexis for Transcendence but not having luck with Summon Scrolls? You can purchase an Alexis NFT from the Marketplace and convert it into a game item you can use in-game!

To get a head-start on using the Item Manager and PlayDapp Marketplace we recommend setting up a crypto wallet on the Portis platform on https://www.portis.io/ as it’s integrated with the mobile version of the PlayDapp Marketplace. Sign-up is quick and easy and only requires your e-mail to set up, make sure to take good care of your account details as well!

Now, imagine you had an awesome Rune in Along with the Gods, or a maxed-out Hero. Normally, the best you could do with such a thing is to use it in-game and then when you find a better one, move on. We say this is unfair. You invested the time to level up and play, so why should all that go to waste?

With the power of NFTs that won’t be the case, as you can freely trade Runes and Ancient God Heroes now, all risk-free on PlayDapp’s seamless Marketplace. This all guarantees that the NFT is verifiably yours, form uniqueness, history of ownership and trade history. NFTs represent some powerful changes in the way that games are played. As well as how rewarding they will be.

With our vision of NFTs and gaming, we believe that you’ll be able to play any game in the PlayDapp ecosystem and get the great gameplay you expect but in-game items will also be transferable between players and between games.

We hope you enjoyed this guide and that it helped you get your head just how big this news is! Make sure to stay tuned for the release and the events we have planned to celebrate!

Remember, we’ll be launching an Along with the Gods AMA to help you get all those questions answered.
