Today's P2E game might be of interest to you if you're a fan of MMORPGs or cute games like MapleStory or Talesweaver. 

Not all games are suitable for Play to Earn, even if they are blockchain-enabled. If they are simply fun, the game's economy will never work. Some game genres give users memories by enjoying a lighthearted story and leaving a lasting impression, but it is difficult for the game's goods to have any special value.  

extocium's principles are implemented in P2E with the following three principles as the most important. 

1. Conflict, factionalization, and competition between users are necessary.

2. sessions should never end.

3. the cycle of earning and burning must occur continuously.

This game is an MMORPG created by the main developer of Lineage 2 and the developers of Bluehole, and is played not only by Korean users, but also by users from various countries.  

In Korea, due to policy, you have to bypass it with a VPN and download it.  

There is a PVP system such as PK and dueling grounds in the hunting grounds, which encourages competition between users. 

In addition, there are various things to enjoy such as gathering and crafts, and you can make potions and weapons that you need to use with materials obtained through hunting or gathering, and you can also trade with other people. 

extocium implements the Earn - Burn chain by earning resources through hunting, gathering, etc. and spending them to strengthen and craft heroes, equipment, etc.   

It is implemented to start with light growth and expand to field PK, guild wars, siege wars, etc.

[How to play] 

After searching and installing extocium from the APP Store or Play Store and signing up with your email, you will need to click the Metamask button in the upper right corner of the game screen to link your Metamask wallet.  

If you don't have Hero NFTs, you can play for a while, but they won't become items or drops, and the game is practically unplayable. In order to play the game, you must have Hero NFTs to play. An exchange exists within the game app, and the initial starting character can be had for no more than 0.03 to 0.1 BNB (about $10 to $30). 

In addition, dozens of Hero NFTs are periodically minted on the market for 0.01 BNB, but Southeast Asian users almost always snap them up, so you may have to pay a bit more for them. Still, on average, the investment is much lower than in other games, so the barrier to entry is low.

[Monetization Methods]

extocium can be monetized in the following ways.  

1. Exchange gold earned through in-game activities such as hunting for XTO tokens or sell items for BNB tokens. 

2. Sell the hero NFTs you've bred in the marketplace

3. Sell the item NFTs you've grown on the market.

Example) 

You will mainly generate revenue from 1. ROI, which is the payback period, is expected to be 40 to 60 days on average, according to interviews I conducted with various users. 

As a prerequisite, you need to consume all the energy recovery items sold in the game, and the daily playtime is expected to be between 1 hour and 2.5 hours. 

(I understand that depending on your settings, you can auto-hunt to some extent if you have a minion character or healer. However, the aforementioned methods may vary depending on the investment amount, stats and skills of each NFT character, and the user's play style)

price of 1 XTO token = $0.05 as of April 21, 2023  

Number of users as of 2023.04.21.  

In addition, if you own the Hero NFT, you'll be rewarded with XTO tokens for daily attendance, as well as for leveling up.   

So, let's take a look at what's in store for incinerators and price defense from a tokenomics perspective.

1. In-game energy 

The game has a concept of stamina, like a dungeon and fighter. 

You have a limited amount of time to play in a day, and once it's used up, you can no longer earn items and gold.  This is to prevent inflation in the game. 

This energy is reset daily, and if you continue to play when it's all gone, you'll only receive 30% of your experience.  

Items that restore this energy can be purchased with BNB. 

We have introduced a BNB coin payment system instead of in-app purchases.  

By including coin payments in the system, we can save the difference in fees when paying on places like Google Play. 

What this has to do with Talkonomics is that the team uses these fees to buy back XTO tokens. 

The whitepaper explains that when you purchase items with XTO tokens, they are designed to be put back into the mining pool.  

2. Benefits of XTO 

In order for the price of the token to be sustainable, the most important thing is that there are benefits to holding XTO tokens without users recklessly cashing them out. The most important factors that the developers considered in designing and considering the economy of the XTO token - extocium are the rights that holders have by holding XTO tokens, which are specified in the white paper.

1) 21% of extocium's paid item operating income to be distributed to XTO holders 

extocium uses "energy", the most important time commodity for mining more XTO, as a paid item, similar to the concept of monthly fees in other mobile games.

By using BNB for this payment, we will be able to save most of the 20-25% platform fees that we used to pay on existing mobile platforms (Google, IOS), and we specify that this profit will be distributed to XTO holders instead of being kept by the developer.  

2) Granting the right to participate in sieges (coming soon) 

In a future update, guilds that win a siege like March Ridge will have the unique right to hold the "castle" for a period of time and receive a portion of the transaction fees from the area. 

For more benefits, check out the whitepaper. I'll include a link at the bottom of this post.

3. Halving System 

extocium has a system to prevent steep inflation of XTO coin. The halving system works in 4-hour increments and changes the state of the game based on the amount of XTO swapped in the previous 4 hours. 

XTO tokens are set to be swapped at a rate of 10,000 per day (of course, the ratio of gold to XTO, and the amount that can be swapped per day, will fluctuate if the XTO token experiences fluctuations in value).  

This 10,000 is divided by 6 times (24/4) to arrive at a rate of 1666 XTO tokens per 4 hours, and if XTO tokens are swapped in excess of 1666 in the previous 4 hours, famine will occur in extocium, reducing the drop rate of items and gold. 

(In the opposite case, an abundance system is introduced, which is designed to increase the drop rate of items and gold.) 

4. Preventing reckless swapping 

Below is the current swap chart, with the caveat that the commission rate and the price of gold may change depending on the inflationary situation in the game.

In order to prevent reckless swapping, we will calculate Gold fees per bundle as shown below. 

Below is the current swap chart, and it is important to note that the fee rate and gold price may change depending on the inflationary situation in the game. In addition, XTO tokens and the gold commodity closely related to XTO tokens will be continuously burned (returned to the development account (swap pool)). 

In addition, the game itself is somewhat fun, and the competition among users is fierce, so growth is the biggest factor. 

In order to grow, items are destroyed, so it is designed to continuously consume various goods. 

Nothing is safe in the cryptocurrency market, but it's rare to find a P2E game with such a low barrier to entry, an obvious outlet, and no inflation.

We remind you that you make your own investment choices and responsibilities. 

Note: NFT trading in the in-game market is not available on iOS due to apple policy. 

Please use Android.

If your desktop OS is Windows, you can download LDPlayer or NoxPlayer and install extocium to use NFT trading normally.

You only need to use this for trading, and other gameplay can be used normally on IOS.
