Having been blogging here for over 3 years, I’ve met some amazing people, forged some killer friendships, and watched this blockchain grow exponentially. Not only in price of token which is tasty, but in dApps, users, content, and overall…respect. Hive is starting to be noticed and at the moment, that has a lot to do with the success of Splinterlands.

I was thrilled to see that the team’s efforts were rewarded as the game took first place across all dApps as far as users in the past 24 hours. They had the games section locked up for a bit now but that pesky Pancakeswap was still claiming the top spot overall…until today.

The entire SL team have accomplished wonders and I couldn’t be more proud. Not only are these folks creating something fun, unique, and exciting…but it’s also changing people’s lives which has gotta be an exhilarating feeling for the team.

I believe the project has a tremendous future and that the sky is the limit. Much continued success to the SL team, it’s players, investors, and all that follows. I’m excited to see what you guys conjure up next. Congrats!

It is fun, everyone should check it out! It is kind of cool because you can enjoy it, once you get the hang of things, with minimal time. Each game is only like 2 minutes or so. But it is also pretty deep at the same time, so if you want to really try hard and compete that is an option as well.

The game has done really well. The presentation is great and it seems technically good. I just have some concerns that it's going too much towards pay to play and favouring big investors. It ought to be accessible to all levels. I still play most days though and the SPS drop is a nice bonus. We need more of the new players to check out other aspects of Hive.

I agree. They're really doing well right now because the base of the game is solid, probably the best in the space, and there is tons of room to grow. It is easy to think you're doing everything right when the game is getting 10k new players a day. I definitely question some of their decisions lately though. And wonder if they could be doing a better job capitalizing on this growth. This success is great now, but it is unlikely to last. The question is, will it plateau or drop off. And that all depends on what they do to retain the players they're getting right now. And there is definitely a bit of sourness coming from a lot of new players.

I like the game a lot and think/hope it has a bright future. Just never really know though.

There's a bit of a dash for cash going on. Early adopters want payback for their money/time investment and new users are desperate to make anything. Trying to keep everyone happy is hard. I think other games are seeing similar issues. Rising Star is giving away less free stuff now.

That is true. Think a lot from a lot of people is riding on how the next month or so plays out. It will be interesting at least.

I am a little afraid many people have their hopes too high for the Chaos set. From a player's point of view a lot of people are thinking it is going to even things up and make things affordable. From an investor point of view they're swarming to hoard it all and make a big profit. Sadly I think a lot of people will be disappointed on both sides. How much more competitive can you get with like 80 more cards. And the worth of the cards are probably going to be way less than investors are hoping due to the 20x print rate but still more than poorer players are hoping since most will be controlled by people trying to monopolize the market.

Definitely a balancing act in many respects. I don't envy the dev team at times like this. Though I often sound negatively when I talk about it, I think they're doing a pretty good job. I have basically all my savings wrapped up in it one way or another. 😅

Congrats indeed!
I'm really glad I was here when it started but I agree with @steevc. It does seem like a lot more work for new players. Who knows...

We let this next card release play out and see where we are. :)
