State of Splinterlands 2023 | Week #3

Greetings Splinterfolk!

The purpose of this series of posts is to provide you with up-to-date insights on the state of Splinterlands.

In my opinion, the most important metric to keep track of is the number of new Summoner's Spellbooks purchased as this reflects the true number of new players entering into the game.

Date	Signups (Total)	Spellbooks (Total)	Signups (Daily Avg.)	Spellbooks (Daily Avg.)
01.01	231	18	231	18
02.01 - 08.01	2,096	97	299	14
09.01 - 15.01	1,979	99	282	14
16.01 - 22.01	2,131	134	304	19
Total	6,437	348	-	-

• Out of the 2,131 new accounts created last week, only 134 new accounts (6.29%) actually bought the Summoner's Spellbook.
• In 2023, there have been 6,437 new accounts created but only 348 Summoner's Spellbooks purchased which is only a 5.41% conversion rate. In my mind, only 348 new players have entered into Splinterlands for the year so far.

While Splinterlands does have a referral program, it only benefits the referrer and not the referee. Therefore, it is up to us (the existing players) to create our own referral program to help new players enter into the game. I've outlined below how my custom referral program works:

• Sign up for Splinterlands through my referral link here.
• Once you buy the Summoner's Spellbook, I will receive 500 credits ($0.50) which I will use to buy DEC, cards, or both to help you start your Splinterlands journey.
• All you need to do is comment below the IGN you used to sign up with. Once I have verified it, I will reach out to see what you would like to spend your $0.50 on and then send it over.
