Major Economic Updates
Eric Vermillion a.k.a VermDragon took the stage to announce significant changes to the near term Valannia ecosystem. These changes were implemented to ensure that current users and items retained their inherent value, proving the Valannia economy to be a sustainable model for the future.
Valannian Rings Update — There will always be 200 Valannian Rings, however 58 rings were not sold. Determining what to do with them proved a topic of debate and it was ultimately decided that they would be given away as gameplay rewards.
- 3 to Dawn of Adventures
- 5 to Valannia Arena
- 10 to Valannia Realms
- 40 released through a blind bid system to be released over the next 5 years, approximately 4 every 6 months.
Valannia Heroes Change — Of the original 4000 origin heroes listed, 1600 were sold. The team ultimately decided to reduce the number of heroes to 2000 and place the unbought 2000 in the Eldorath Vault. As the game population continues to grow, heroes will be released to meet demand.
Valannia Arena Competitive Circuit will feature economic rewards that will feature a free to play model. However, rewards in Valannia Arena will be commensurate with players owning heroes, thus to earn greater rewards, players will need to own heroes.
Future rewards to be offered are Valannia tokens, skins, and other items that can be used in the Valannia ecosystem
Valannia Realms Economic Ecosystem — Armor, castles, and combat units will potentially be craftable. Time, effort, and collaboration will be required for Valannia Realms.
Valannia tokens will be used as a form of currency in Realms including usage in building upgrades, technological advancements, and political developments.
Eric noted that Heroes will not be craftable.
Red Moon Gala Keepsake
