The First Playtest: Celebrating Success and Looking Ahead
Hello players!
The New Order (TNO)’s first playtest has successfully ended!
The first playtest aimed to be an exclusive opportunity for initial pioneers and our partner guild members. On this playtest, TNO was published live on the Epic Launcher and hosted a total of 40 hours of playtest sessions showcasing the PVE, PVP, and Sandbox game modes.
This article will recap the highlights of the playtest
Community Campaign Highlights — GDA
As a start of the community ecosystem, the Gran Dyke Access (GDA) NFT was launched with a free minting event and only the GDA holders were given access to the playtest.
With over 10,000 whitelisted participants, 3,000 GDA NFTs were minted on the Arena-Z launchpad. The GDA sold out within a minute of the FCFS round opening. The campaign also saw the social community grow from 0 to 24k members in just two weeks.
Even after the playtest is over, GDA holders will continue to enjoy multiple benefits.
- Own both WL and GDA? You gain access to the exclusive GDA Round.
- Verify your GDA ownership on Discord and receive occasional airdrops of GDX and other exciting rewards.
- As a GDA holder, you’re automatically invited to participate in all future TNO playtests.
