How is blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency used in this product?

The Forgotten Runiverse will allow for wallet connectivity allowing players to mint in-game assets such as items and land as assets on the Arbitrum blockchain. It will also allow for certain NFT collections, such as those from the Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult collection on Ethereum, to import their characters into the game as cosmetic skins.

What utility does this bring to the product?

Wallet connectivity will allow players to trade their in-game items on external marketplaces. The blockchain will also be utilized as an open database for players to openly view an asset’s history. Players will be able to take true ownership of their assets and transact with them outside of the game’s boundaries.
Players will be allowed to import unique character skins from the Forgotten Runes collection, beginning with the Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult collection of NFTs with future updates planned to expand to other NFTs such Forgotten Runes Ponies.
Those who own NFTs in specific collections may receive additional exclusive in-game cosmetics such as household decorations referencing their collection, or immediate access to an NFT collection’s guild.

Does this product require me to connect an external wallet? What wallets does this product support?

The game utilizes the Arbitrum Network, an L2 of Ethereum. As such, any wallet compatible with Ethereum such as MetaMask, Frame, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, Rainbow Wallet, Wallet Connect, etc. are compatible with The Forgotten Runiverse.

Can I use the product without interacting or engaging with blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency?

Wallets are a completely optional extension to The Forgotten Runiverse’s experience. Players will be able to sign up, create characters, and play the core gameplay loops without any wallet connectivity.

What chain does this product use? Is the chain proof-of-work or proof-of-stake?

The Forgotten Runiverse utilizes the Arbitrum network, which is built on top of the Ethereum proof of stake chain.

Does this product have a marketplace? What can I do with the things that I earn (or purchase)?

The Forgotten Runiverse will not feature an exclusive marketplace. Players can utilize general NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea to trade Forgotten Runiverse assets. Some assets, such as land deeds, are exclusively obtainable through NFTs.
Players can purchase a resource called Mana in-game with cryptocurrency, but this resource can be earned through natural progression of the game as well.

What is the state of the game for Early Access?

The game is currently in pre-alpha status, allowing players to try out the core gameplay mechanics such as battling, gathering, crafting, questing, and leveling up to 15. Early Access will allow you to engage in the complete game loop including managing Land but will be limited to a smaller portion of the overall game world.

How long will the game be in Early Access?

Forgotten Runiverse will remain in Early Access until there is enough content to support gameplay up through level 50 including late game content.

How often will you be updating the game?

As a live service game, updates will be frequent over the course of the game’s life. We anticipate weekly hotfixes and balance changes along with monthly or bi-monthly content updates.

Will my progress be saved during updates?

Character levels and progress will be wiped before the game’s 1.0 version release, but NFTs minted during this early access period exist outside of the game’s servers and so will not be wiped during this transition.

Will the price change when the game leaves Early Access?

No.
