Darren of Space Nation delved into the future of MMORPGs and the role of virtual economies. He explained how Spacenation is using blockchain to simplify existing game models, rather than reinventing the wheel.
"We are not inventing new things; we are just simplifying things that have already worked."
He cited examples like World of Warcraft, where players have been trading assets and accounts for years. He believes that blockchain provides a more efficient and secure way to manage these transactions.
Darren also emphasized the importance of a strong in-game economy for the success of MMORPGs. He pointed out that many games fail due to economic collapse, leading to a decline in player engagement.
In 2024, with Bitcoin breaking through $100,000, more countries and industries are purchasing and storing Bitcoin, and the research on international blockchain applications and payment tools is also accelerating, showcasing the vast potential of blockchain technology globally.
