In a sea of Web3 uncertainty, Forgotten Runiverse rises as a game-changer, championing sustainability, player ownership, and a thriving, player-driven economy.
Revolutionizing MMO Economies
For years, players in MMOs like RuneScape have engaged in black-market trading for in-game assets. Forgotten Runiverse aims to legitimize this by allowing true ownership of items, spells, and land. Some Plot NFTs are already valued at $10,000, highlighting the model’s potential. Unlike other Web3 games that launched speculative tokens, Forgotten Runiverse focuses on gameplay first. Its beta and alpha tests have generated $700,000 from in-game purchases, attracting over 100,000 players and ranking as the #1 Web3 RPG on DappRadar.
How the Player-Driven Economy Works
In Forgotten Runiverse, players craft items, build structures, and earn Quanta, an in-game currency. Quanta can be used in partner token claim events, rewarding players with assets from established projects. This creates a thriving ecosystem where:
- Creators and landowners earn from others using their assets.
- Crafters and farmers supply valuable gear.
- Casual players enjoy the game with the option to trade assets.
This sustainable play-to-own model positions $XP to become the game’s official token once the economy stabilizes.
Early Access Launches Soon
Forgotten Runiverse enters its next phase with global early access on mobile and PC browsers this month, followed by standalone apps later. The launch will include a 21 trillion Quanta airdrop to beta players, PvP battles, raids, dungeons, new regions, and more. The game’s economy will continually evolve with balance adjustments and monetization experiments.
A Growing Fantasy Universe
Beyond the game, Forgotten Runiverse is part of a decentralized IP that has already earned $110 million in sales. The franchise includes:
- The Book of Lore with 5,000+ community stories.
- Comic books with over 200,000 copies sold, and a graphic novel releasing in Q1 2025.
- An animated series, produced by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad.
With backing from major platforms, Forgotten Runiverse aims to bridge Web3 and mainstream gaming, demonstrating that a player-owned economy can thrive.
The game’s upcoming early access may be a turning point for Web3 gaming, focusing on players, sustainability, and long-term engagement.
