NFT gaming innovations with crypto guilds and communities as the main protagonists
Professional opinions from Pier Kicks, William Robinson and new NFT gaming innovations including Ecio.space and Edensol
First and foremost, before jumping into conclusions we would like to express the influence of Play to Earn leaders on the gaming community.
As leaders set an example for their community members, they serve as a guide and mentor. The quality of a community begins at the top.
Leaders should be selfless and willing to prioritize the group's needs over their own. Service, resiliency, and humility are all characteristics of true leadership.
Its most devoted members are the lifeblood that keeps it going. A leader can make all the proper steps, but if they don't have enthusiastic supporters and members who are committed to the mission, their efforts are likely to fail.
Consequently, members build the culture, form the relationships, and create the environment necessary to thrive.

Investing in blockchain games
In this section we would like to clarify the current situation in the GameFi space. There have been recent backlash from larger firms that do not sympathize the Play to Earn idea due to Ponzi schemes or just a money making business model without actually enjoying the game. However, we will reveal the useful side of P2E and show to you why this fairly new concept is still at its infancy. First of all, in traditional gaming we had decades of tooling so the major focus of blockchain games will directed on building the right developer UX. Secondly, the quality of the P2E games has significantly improved thanks to the presence of Triple AAA games. Therefore, it just takes time to build a good game that is going to scale. Once more blockchain tools will become available, gameFi companies shall build and release a game economy on distributed compute global network that it won't shut down and hosted fully on-chain.
Thirdly, we have gaming guilds. We shall not forget that they have been the saviours for the play to earn space, providing the chance for everyone to play games, including cash poor player through large scale scholarship campaigns. A large player base is important so their peers can help evaluate whether a game is compelling or not. As a result, firms can test out their new games through guilds and see if the game works properly according to their roadmap.
We have to be aware that there are too many companies copying and using NFTs, with the aim to capitalize as quickly as possible due to the massive trend. It is felt when a game is built and played out of passion and these will succeed in the long-term. Hence, we have to be able to distinguish which P2E project will provide the right values to this industry. Some of the blockchain games that Pier Kicks has praised are Cryptoraiders and Dark Forest.
The positive aspects of Cryptoraiders included new PVP mechanics, solution to bootstrapping as well as strong community support.
While for Dark Forest, the game is fully composable and open sourced on the Gnosis chain. This means that Dapps and DAOs will be able to effectively clone and integrate one another and for software components such as tokens and messages to be interoperable between them.
The conclusion from the podcast is to not rush with token and capitalize on this market dynamic right now. It is also important to find the right partners who know which components of the project shall be improved and not just copy existent gaming mechanics.
The gameFi industry as a whole, needs to improve the education aspect and bring more initiatives for new users to be willing to deal with new technologies that will genuinely benefit to the user.
Web 3 and their guilds
Guilds are no strangers, they have been around even during the Web 2, and form groups of coordinated players. It also help players become connected together and form meaningful friendships. This is a powerful way to organically grow the player base and create demand for in-game assets. Nonetheless, in order to achieve this well conceived growth, guilds have to be attentive in building a community by lowering the barrier of ‘professional players’
Despite of having mentioned all the benefits of a gaming guild, the asset owners from the Guilds have to be careful not to be exposed to the total crash in price, meaning they won't be able to maintain the upkeep of the in-game economy. However, players will not be as badly exposed as the ones who bought their own assets. Furthermore, the value should not be limited by just creating a player base. Shill Guilds solved one of the biggest problems and that is bootstrapping player basis at the start. An idea to boost the guild economy to new highs is for Games to offer more equity / tokens to the guilds so that they have the upside exposure in games success in exchange for players.

The third choice we have in store is Edensol, a Diablo 3 inspired title that has brought the gaming guild concept to a new level. So lets see the key components which make Edensol truly special and definitely worth the attention:
Addictive gameplay - Heroes fighting horrifying monsters on an adventurous quest. The additional surprise is to test out the players’ skills by challenging an opponent into a 1 vs 1 fight and win additional rewards.
A wide range of valuable NFTs - The advantage here is that Edensol has positioned itself by providing multiple options with NFTs. Edensol’s NFTs are not just limited to characters but they can also be accessories or land plots. The availability of NFTs to various NFT marketplaces (Edensol, Makersplace, Rarible, Opensea) makes Edensol truly practical. Finally, there will be a limited number of NFTs attracting more interest from the collectors’ perspective.
Edensol Guilds - Edensol Guilds are groups of players that stake NSOL tokens to occupy land of rival Guilds and fight for rare NFTs. The value depends by the scarcity of the NFT land.
