Dungeons and Blockchains: the start of the alpha test of Legends of Aria

Unique tokens, or NFTs, have been appearing more and more often in modern games. Here and the MMORPG genre did not pass this cup of tea: the developers of the free-to-play Legends of Aria decided to transfer their creation to blockchain. To do this, the basic version of the game with the subtitle Classic, they left public access, and updated version is placed under a lock - only members of the closed alpha-testing can enter. We tell you how to get among the select few and what to do if you do not have time to sign up.

The events of Legends of Aria unfold in a fabulous open world, where heroes fight monsters, gather in teams to descend into dangerous dungeons, build houses and communicate in guilds. Local rules are understandable to all fans of the Ultima Online universe. The game has been around for a few years, but they decided to integrate it with blockchain just recently. To this end, employees of the Citadel studio created a separate server, where they started the alpha test. To take part in it, you must be a subscriber of the main MMORPG. If you do not have such a service, then the beta will start in the summer - and the game will be allowed to a larger number of people.

The essence of the idea is that gamers can earn and save tokens, and exchange them for real currency. To test this economic model, the alpha version launched a special market and open access to create or purchase NFT characters and items. On the official website of the project the developers assure the public that the accrual of tokens goes even when the user is not at his computer.
