I'm Pleasantly Disappointed, Happily Annoyed & I'm About To Rant On Splinterlands | 77% of New Hive Accounts Created By @steemmonsters

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I called on this before! I didn't expect myself to be this right. It sucks to b right. But it's only because something is working just right. You are probably already confused right now. So let's clarify things.

If we get real exposure - we'll have to onbaord at least 1000+ users every hour. That's what it means to go viral. All of us on blockchain knows we have what it takes to beat mainstream apps. Hell - we want this massive onboarding to happen!

Splinterlands is among best of best. That's why I'm even able to make this rant. We've got a problem of too many users - not too little. But if we're not going to handle 1000 signups/day how the hell are we going to handle 1 million/day ???

Warning For Hive Dapps

Quotes are from the post above. It was 6 days ago and we were finally seeing effects of lots of users coming and lots of activity happening in Splinterlands game.

Today I Could Barely Play Few Games

Sometimes I go 10 -15 minutes trying and still get no matches. I could be missing opportunities because I'm trying manually while trying to find something else to do while waiting for the game.

It used to be kind of bad at first and now Splinterlands is almost unplayable for me. Things are that bad. I even missed out on some matches because I was doing something else on a another tab.

Imagine A New Player Coming Fully Hyped!

I hope at least preference is given to new accounts. They need to have good impression of the game that represent what we old players fall in love with in the 1st place.

77% Of New Accounts Created

It's a screenshot of a @penguinpablo report. This isn't a 1 time thing. Check old posts from him. Splinterlands is leading Hive onboarding.

Sever Upgrades Didn't Even Matter!

Only 6 Days Ago

New users are staying aboard. They are playing the game. That's how we get extra 14K DAU. That sounds lot closer to how many accounts made by Splinterlands in last 6 days.

Most players who make an account stay with the game. That's a really nice trend. I'll make things even look better.

Weekly Active Users

Monthly Active Users

Those are really nice looking growth trajectory indicators for any app/game. Best part is all of this done with barely any real marketing spend. It's coming from really organize community we've built.

Doubling Your Servers Won't Help

This is a warning to all Hive Dapps. I think @leofinance devs and @dbuzz should keep an eye on things. I see lot of opportunity for these Dapps to grow. As you saw - DAU counts can double in a week easily. If your server upgrades aren't big enough you're giving a bad experience to users.

Let's Do Better By Being Prepared :)

This is a very good point.

If we can't handle 1000 new users daily then 100k would be a big problem.

We indeed are seeing how things change rapidly within a sec in the crypto world.

We all have to be prepared for what the future holds, which is a mass adoption and thats a great achievement to everyone here.

A wise man once said, proper preparation prevents poor performance.
