My experience playing a blockchain game for the first time.

in Speak Peace4 years ago (edited)
Actually i came across this post made by someone here and it said everyone interested should write or make a video on our FIRST TIME PLAYING A BLOCKCHAIN GAME. So i said to myself hey boy, why don't you give it a try. So, um this is my entry into the contest. Relax as i take you through what i tag a roller coaster, lol.

INTRODUCTION

We're in a generation where everything is moving on so fast, i mean with the massive advancement in technology there has been a sort of evolution in almost everything around us. This day's one could stay in the comfort of he's or her home and earn millions of dollars by doing things people considered weird a few years back. A couple of years ago people did not even know much about Cryptocurrency, but within a short period of time there has been a massive rise in knowledge about crypto, it has totally changed how we see and use money, even the government are looking for a way to tap into this huge platform.

But to be very honest the gaming world has not been left out on this advancement, a lot has changed i mean it still feels like yesterday when i'd drag Sega gaming pads with my younger brother@emeka002 but since Crypto became mainstream everyone is rushing to tap into it and hence the advent of crypto gaming.

What is Blockchain games?

Well to a lay man he might define Blockchain games as games you would play on a mobile phone or Pc and earn money in form of cryptocurriencies.
But a game savvy person would tell you blockchain games are built on the blockchain platform.
Blockchain games has the potential to change the gaming industry for the greater good, now young investors, game developers are trying to bulid on the platform to change the gaming exprence buliding games on blockchain technoloy.

HOW DID I FEEL PLAYING A BLOCKCHAIN GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME?
Actually the first time i heard about Crypto gaming was during the lockdown. I was bored and i needed to find some new hobby to keep myself busy, a quick call to one of my gee@sonofremi to find out how he was coping with boredom he made a shocking revelation to me on how he was busy earning and playing a game known as 'League of Kingdoms'. after hearing about the things he said i decided to download the game on google play store and start playing for fun and also to earn money.

Actually 'League of Kingdom' is a strategy game built on the Blockchain that is available on both mobile and Pc game where gamers can earn by building up asset, buying kingdom, compete against each other and take part in raids. You have to also grow your army in the whole process so that you can have a strong defence mechanism in case other's are ready to raid.

The first thing i discovered when i started playing the 'League of Kingdom' game was that the game is built on the Ethereum Blockchain, this means that to play the game i had to purchase Ether using a Fiat through a Crypto exchange platform at first i did not like the idea since i was a new to and investing on something i was not really familiar with was a bit of a discouragment. Also unlike a normal game where you'd lose your weapons and asset when you stopped playing a game, i could trade with other players, sell for real life cash or take them with me to another game. I discovered that all i needed to do was progress in the game and earn Ethereum and i could be rich, lol😂.
One of the smartest things i did then was buying a weapon at a cheap rate and selling at a very high price after a gaming season, bit by bit i became addicted to this game. Also i had to Monetize my lands and estate, in the game the higher the level of prosperity in your land the higher your dividends real life.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

Actually the game is very expensive to play, to be very honest i was broke and yet they expected me to pay for every move i made on the gaming platform, lol.
