Cryptopia

The first computer-based role-playing game (RPG), <a href="https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/first-role-playing-console-video-game" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">as certified by Guinness World Records</a>, was dnd – an entirely text-based game that was developed at Southern Illinois University in 1974. Fittingly enough, it was based on the world’s first commercially available tabletop RPG, the iconic Dungeons &amp; Dragons (D&amp;D), which was originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and published by Gygax’s company TSR (Tactical Studies Rules, Inc.) in 1974.RPGs have certainly come a long way since then. And while this gaming genre is almost entirely based on D&amp;D and most games take place in fantasy worlds, RPGs have also been created for other settings, such as science fiction. The <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/role-playing-video-game" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">history of role-playing video games</a> started with single-player RPGs for PCs and consoles, including famous IPs such as Ultima and Final Fantasy, and later evolved to include MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) such as World of Warcraft.Now, with the advent of blockchain gaming, also known as <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/642535690a1e31489dba5e60/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFT gaming</a> and <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/642271c77693e165e3450f5f/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GameFi</a>, RPGs are once again evolving. And this time, the innovation will not just be in terms of player experience, but also gamer empowerment.The global blockchain gaming market size is expected to reach US$104.5 billion by 2028, according to this <a href="https://www.reportlinker.com/p06412014/Global-Blockchain-Gaming-Market-Size-Share-Industry-Trends-Analysis-Report-By-Platform-By-Game-Type-By-Regional-Outlook-and-Forecast.html?utm_source&#61;GNW" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2022 report from KBV Research</a>, which also noted how RPGs are leading the way in driving revenue.“Based on game type, the blockchain gaming sector is divided into role-playing games, open-world games, and collectible games according to the kind of game. The blockchain gaming industry was led by role-playing games in 2021, with the highest revenue share. The selling of role-playing games and associated services provided by businesses, partnerships, and single proprietors who create these games is included in the role-playing genre sector. The organizations are also involved in designing, installing, producing, distributing, and supporting services for role-playing games.”To make blockchain-based RPGs more mainstream, however, gamers need to become aware of the key differences between Web2 RPGs and Web3 RPGs. Of course, whether they are Web2 or Web3, the most important factor that will determine a game’s success is fun gameplay. That’s already a given.All things being equal, however, Web3 RPGs offer a number of <a href="https://blockzeit.com/nft-rpgs-vs-traditional-rpgs-a-comparison-of-key-features-and-differences/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">advantages to players</a>.“One key difference between NFT RPGs and traditional RPG games is the level of ownership and control that players have over their virtual assets. In a traditional RPG, players may have the ability to earn or acquire in-game items or currency, but these assets are typically not owned by the player in the same way that real-world assets are owned.“They may be subject to rules and restrictions set by the game developers, and can potentially be taken away or removed from the game at any time. In contrast, NFT RPGs use blockchain technology to enable players to truly own their virtual assets, giving them the ability to trade and transfer them freely without any interference from the game developers.”This is precisely why Cryptopia, a “free-to-play-and-earn” metaverse game and <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/63d7726487181d5515e4e057/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">virtual city-state</a> built entirely on the blockchain, is <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/645080f6c1d7e422b683e6fb/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">designed to be an eternal game</a>.Not only do the developers of Cryptopia want to offer players ownership of the digital assets, but also ultimate control of the game. In fact, once completed, the game will be completely turned over to the players, as part of Cryptopia’s commitment to decentralization.Moreover, since Cryptopia is built entirely on the blockchain, no one — not even the creators — can pull the plug on this Web3 game. This means Cryptopia players won’t have to suffer the pain that players of different traditional games have suffered over the decades, when they lost their beloved characters and everything they worked hard for when their favorite games were shut down.A blockchain-driven open world, Cryptopia offers players two modes of gameplay: Tycoon and Adventure. As Tycoons, players with funds can acquire Title Deeds (virtual property NFTs) and build their business empire, allowing them to excel further in Cryptopia. Meanwhile, Adventurers enjoy free-to-play access to the RPG mode, where they accept tasks, go on quests, and level up their skills and reputation.The beauty of the game design is that both types of players are encouraged to help each other. Adventurers obviously need the rewards that Tycoons are offering for the tasks and quests they will perform. But the Tycoons are also dependent on Adventurers to achieve their goal of building a business empire.Cryptopia also features four Factions — Traditional, Tech, Eco, and Industrial — whose different strategies and tactics for achieving their vision for Cryptopia have an impact on how a player will approach the game and what kind of advantages they will get with faction-specific assets.Add to the mix two sub-factions, the Pirates and Bounty Hunters, for a player vs player element that further enhances the RPG gameplay of Cryptopia.At the end of the day, the growing popularity of blockchain games means <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-gaming-adoption-means-more-options-for-gamers" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">more options for gamers</a>.Just like traditional games, Web3 games come in different genres, from RPGs to action to strategy to collectible card games to sandboxes and so on. With all these choices, you’re certain to find a fun blockchain game that will not only resonate, but also reward you.Game on!—————————————————————————————————————What is Cryptopia?
