Metacene, the innovative next-generation blockchain MMORPG, recently announced the launch of its highly anticipated Alpha Test. Offering a unique combination of Player vs. Environment (PVE) and Player vs. Player (PVP) combats, it takes gaming to a whole new level with the incorporation of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and player-owned assets.
A Glimpse into Metacene
Metacene is a captivating post-apocalyptic MMORPG that seamlessly blends the nostalgia of old-school MMOs with cutting-edge blockchain technology. In this immersive virtual world, players have the freedom to customize their characters, acquire and upgrade equipment, explore vast landscapes, gather resources, hone their skills, battle fierce monsters, and engage in epic player duels.
MetaCene Alpha on the Rangers Testnet
The current Alpha Test of Metacene takes place on the Rangers Testnet, specifically the Robin chain. Although relatively new, this blockchain network provides a secure environment for players to experience the game’s early stages. To participate in the Alpha Test, players can follow the instructions available on the official MetaCene website to connect and register their accounts.
Starting with a small airdrop of USDT (Testnet currency), players can exchange this into MUD, the game’s virtual currency, to kickstart their journey within the game. The Alpha version also features an in-game marketplace, enabling players to trade items amongst themselves. It’s important to note that any progress made during the Alpha Test is non-permanent. The Alpha Test for MetaCene is scheduled to take place from July 31st until August 7th.
PVE, PVP, and Neutral Zones
Metacene offers a diverse gaming experience with distinct areas for PVE, PVP, and Neutral gameplay. In the Neutral zones, players can choose to flag themselves, allowing them to engage in PVP activities. When players initiate PVP actions, their names turn red, signifying their “Red Alert” status. Defeating a player under Red Alert offers the victor a chance to acquire some of the defeated player’s equipment. If a player accumulates too many kills, they may be sent to a virtual prison. However, players can reduce their kill count by defeating monsters instead. The PVP-designated areas, however, do not have imprisonment for engaging in PVP.
Conclusion
The MMORPG has massively declined in the past couple of years. However, Metacene is set to redefine the MMORPG experience. Metacene offers an unparalleled combination of blockchain technology, player ownership, and creative freedom. As the game progresses and incorporates user feedback, the future of Metacene promises to be an immersive and collaborative journey for players worldwide.
