Vision and Mission

NFT is a hot topic these days as it is getting more and more attention from all over the world. Many big players have started their NFT projects, and lots of NFT projects have been released, such as collecting, farming to get the NFT and so on... But most of those projects omit stop right there: no goal, no innovation, no creativity.

Faraland is different. We have far more advantages and features:

Faraland offers a platform with exciting gameplay rather than just a NFT collection platform. Users can experience their NFT heroes in many unique ways.

Faraland has seven clans and individual players can complete a mission, upgrade their heroes, equipment, pets, join guilds or combat with other guilds to get farming resources, protect their clans, fight bosses to earn amazing rewards, and experience the Gacha features.

## Faraland’s Vision in Play-to-Earn

From the perspective of Gamers who have been in the crypto market for a long time, we believe that the games we just mentioned are a failure of the media. They give players a hope of a compelling idea, but the result is the opposite. Players and developers fail to recognize that the basic value of a game is for fun and relaxation. As long as there is still a mindset of playing games to earn, the GameFi market will not be able to develop.

### **So if games are not for playing to make money, why do we have to develop games on blockchain?**

The superior technical characteristics of blockchain is security. Data stored on the blockchain is immutable and highly secure. All important data of players is stored on the blockchain, hence the “Roll back” (the situation when all the data of your game account is returned to a time in the past) will not occur with blockchain games.

Next, thanks to blockchain technology, all the virtual item transactions in cyberspace are safe and quick. This is an irreparable weakness of traditional games. People can now safely trade virtual items with strangers around the world.

Moreover, the possession of virtual items will not be controlled by the publisher. This creates a vibrant NFT market and combined with the in-game economy will provide opportunities for profits.

Another advantage of blockchain games is that gamers fully have the rights of a shareholder when investing in the game. When the project develops and the token price increases, users can freely take profits. If there is a major update in the game, the development team will have the consensus of the majority of players to be implemented through the DAO voting mechanism.

### It is really a new step for the game industry, when the interests of gamers and developers are attached. That will create a fair game for everyone.

Our aim is to create an attractive game that makes players stay with the project for a long time. Besides, it is to apply the special Earning mechanism that was mentioned in the previous article “What makes Faraland’s Earning mechanism different from other projects?“.

We only create a safe and attractive environment for users to experience the game. Those who understand the project and know how to take advantage of blockchain can earn profits. Although Faraland has not released the game officially, there are many people who can make a profit from selling heroes and items.

Moreover, even the staking service rented to other people’s heroes brings a steady income to participants. In the future, we want to create a game world where everyone can participate and immerse themselves in fairy-tale adventures.

The reward is to receive special items; therefore, people can freely trade with each other through the in-game economy. In fact, the Earning mechanism will still be there, but it only plays a part of what users receive during the game. We always prioritize the gaming experience and put the gameplay factor first, which is the core value of Faraland.

In addition to creating a complete game, our further idea is to build a long-term and sustainable ecosystem for Faraland, making it different from a regular game.

### The application of Fara token is not only used in playing games, its holders will have a lot of benefits related to future projects of Moon Knight Labs. This makes FaraCrystal’s intrinsic value even greater when the ecosystem grows.

In fact, we have been already preparing and will launch FaraStarter – a launchpad platform for potential new projects. These projects are researched and selected by Moon Knight Labs. That is considered the next step to build a strong ecosystem for Faraland. In the future, we will have many surprises for users.

Creating a game will take time and effort. Making a blockchain game takes even more. In addition to gameplay, creating many use cases for tokens is also very important to the economic system of the project.

Moreover, many aspects need to be carefully considered to create a complete and sustainable product. We are still steadily on the track of the path outlined from the beginning. Quality products will always have a chance, that’s what we aim for.

## Metaverse and the future of Faraland

In the expanding Universe of Metaverses, FARALAND is creating its own Solar System.

In recent days, the whole world has been paying attention to the event: Facebook’s holding company changed its name to Meta. It is an affirmation that Metaverse is the future of Internet technology. A VR (Virtual Reality) universe in the future that can connect everyone. In this world, there will be no limits for creativity, a limitless universe.

## Metaverse

According to Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg, Metaverse is like the internet in 3D, a virtual environment that users can step inside instead of just looking at the screen. This will be an unlimited world, connecting virtual communities, where people can meet and work together by using VR devices such as Facebook’s Oculus, smartphone applications or other devices.

Metaverse is a virtual world created from the Internet and virtual reality assistants (such as VR, Augmented Reality (AR) or other devices), to help users have the most realistic experience. Metaverse can be considered as a world that exists parallel to the real world. In this world, through the tools or features developers provide, all barriers to creativity are almost eliminated. The movie “Ready Player One” is an example of the Metaverse.

Metaverse is considered as the next generation of the Internet and an important part of the digital economy because of its features such as:

Sustainability: The ability to maintain and continually improve the service or ecosystem within it.

Immersion: The degree of realism of the Metaverse. The answers to the question lie in our experience.

Openness: Openness, which means that Metaverse allows participants to connect or disconnect at any time. At the same time, it is an open space that maximizes our creativity.

Economic System: An economic system parallel to reality. Participants can easily move their assets between the real world and the Metaverse.

## The future of Faraland

Faraland’s ecosystem is built to become a “Solar System” in the vast virtual universe. With Faraland as the center, other projects in the ecosystem are like orbiting satellites complementing each other and helping users have more profitable investment options.

The goal is to make the $FARA token have diverse usecases. This will attract more investors and will help grow the community in the project’s ecosystem.. The need to own $FARA is not only limited  to being able to play games, users can use $FARA anywhere in the ecosystem, and it can even be used to pay in many of our Faraland’s partner projects.

Faraland was built with the idea of ​​creating an adventurous and attractive gaming world, where players join to play and accumulate resources, money and can freely trade and transact with other players. This is done through blockchain technology and the in-game financial system. In several other game projects, players accumulate a lot of value when participation in the game, they will tend to take profits and cash out.

With Faraland, we provide players with many satellite projects where there are benefits of holding $FARA tokens. Players will have many options to continue to reinvest and earn profits from many sources, not just depending on playing Faraland. This improves token liquidity, stable prices, and ensures long-term value for everyone.

In the future, Faraland will have new things on the new blockchain platform. Each blockchain platform will be its own country, with its own Hero races and storylines. With cross-chain technology, we want to scale Faraland’s war on a truly massive scale – called Nation War.

Players on each platform will team up and fight with new Heroes and new races from other platforms, something that normal games can hardly bring the same experience to users. Even further, mini-game universes could be inter-connected. With the development of blockchain technology and the future of Metaverse, all of this is possible.  Let’s move forward to the future and be part of Faraland’s Solar System.

## The Future of Blockchain Gaming Industry and Faraland’s Vision

Last year 2021 is probably a big hit when it comes to media, with the emergence of the pervasive term “GameFi”. The future of the Gaming Industry via blockchain platforms manifests great potential.

### What will ensue after the termination of “GameFi”?

“GameFi” is a term used to represent  the merging of two concepts, “Game” and “Decentralized Finance”.  GameFi is basically a decentralized finance platform that integrates gaming elements in the blockchain technology. With GameFi, P2E is brought to the limelight in which players can both experience their favorite games and earn money simultaneously. That ambitious concept stimulated a booming year for “GameFi” markets. Whilst social factors resulting from the pandemic have affected everyone’s work, the demand for making money renders working from home inevitable.

Projects both large and small have been accelerating the process of developing “GameFi”. GameFi is one of the strongest drivers of growth in the blockchain ecosystem in these very turbulent times. It is expected that those participating in “GameFi” will realize the prospects of obtaining large profits in a short time, particularly via offers of extremely attractive interest rates from projects. And apparently, those aforementioned outlooks are all but the tip of the iceberg. Behind those ambitious offers lies the risk of abrupt collapse for the projects that promise high interest rates in a short time for investors. When investors seek great profit generation, this leads to an imbalance in the projects’ cash flow and accidentally hampers the implementation to a dead end in the blink of an eye. When the “Finance” factors are no longer guaranteed, players will not have a reason to stay with the project either.  Now that most projects merely scratch the surface of “Game” factors, many projects cannot even be considered to be a true game without any attractive factors for players.

From what has happened, it can be noted that the models and operations of “GameFi” projects are quite simplistic and inherent with a range of setbacks. Perhaps, to proceed and develop sustainably, developers must figure out the right direction to overcome the current difficult period. This can be perceived as a “natural selection” when projects with good internals and directions will outpace and continue to develop. Instead of “GameFi”, we think “Blockchain Game” will properly reflect and cover the advantages of this new generation of games. “Blockchain Game” resolves a vast majority of inherent setbacks of conventional games, hence the future and opportunities for growth are propitious.

### Faraland’s vision and direction

As analyzed above, Faraland has specifically identified the problems that current blockchain game projects are encountering. We specify the project to have a long-term goal rather than following an old trodden path that might vanish in the blink of an eye. To do that, we had to discuss extensively and thoroughly to make a plan to help Faraland avoid treading on the same footsteps of other projects on the market. Developing an applicable game title with an attractive gameplay, along with a sustainable economy with a complementary ecosystem is the foundation that helps Faraland has enough intrinsic value to go further in the future. Henceforth, it will probably entail a long time, yet we are determined to initiate the direction so that users can grasp Faraland’s vision and direction in the future.

### “GameFi” is a fad and “Finance” is just a part of blockchain gaming?

A blockchain gaming project will always contain a financial element, but it will definitely not suffice. The fact that game titles embrace the superiority of the blockchain-based technology  will make this the right direction for future game projects. In addition to the ambitious and in-depth gameplay elements (which players obviously possess), projects must create different experiences and features that were not possible before in conventional games due to technological limitations.

Thanks to the convenience and expediency in trading virtual items via blockchain-based technology, users  can definitely become “traders” in the game world and earn profits for themselves by playing the game.

In addition, they can also participate in Staking, Farming, or buying IDOs to get profits by flexibly using the game’s tokens.

Players can exercise the rights to participate in contributing opinions and regulating major changes or updating the game through the DAO vote features.

With the “Scholarship” feature, players can earn money from being hired to play games and share profits safely and quickly from blockchain-based technology.

Players with high rankings in the game receive a token reward from the holders. Being gamers will probably soon become the profession of many people.

The “risk” features are now guaranteed that the rates are always accurate and transparent thanks to smart contracts.

In the near future, all game projects will be connected together and fully compatible by using the same programming language on the blockchain, which brings it closer to the concept of “Metaverse” that people often refer to these days.

Those are just a few fascinating and alluring points demonstrating that the potential for developing blockchain games is huge. And obviously, there will be many ways for players to profit while playing the game. Those who harness the resources and mechanisms offered by the holders gain the opportunity. Thus, what you get in return depends on your ability, knowledge and even a little luck. All of the above makes the appeal of a game title greatly increased, and that is why we believe in the future of this relatively new blockchain gaming field.

### Transforming Faraland into a practical turn-based eSport game

It is recognized that the current blockchain game’s customer base is quite restricted in terms of the players’ motivation  to participate which is simply to make profits, along with the quality of current blockchain games. Indeed, there are still a large number of gamers who have not been attracted to this new market.

To help Faraland expand and reach new users, we are launching Heroes Non-NFT system and PvP eSport game mode, where users can participate without investment and compete directly. Accordingly, players with the best achievements will still receive very attractive rewards, which is perceived as “Free to Earn” mode.

With turn-based tactics and a diverse skill system, Faraland can definitely become a viable eSport. The turn-based game genre in recent years has not had a truly remarkable name, yet the fan base of this game series remains sizable. So we expect to refresh these series, integrating RPG elements in an open world with blockchain-based technology. This is also the foundation to bring the project to reach and attract customers in the conventional game market. It is also expected to provoke users’ love and awareness of the advantages of blockchain games. There is no doubt that Faraland will soon appear on the Appstore and Google play for non-crypto users around the world to easily access and experience the game.

### Establishing an eminent brand for Faraland beyond just a game title

With elaborately designed images and plots, Faraland seeks to establish a “universe” of its own. The heroes or NPCs in the game all have their own stories behind, and all will be adapted into comics or movies. There will be many secrets and hidden meanings in the plots waiting for players to decipher and discover, which makes Faraland captivating and distinct from other projects on the market.

With the direction and vision specified above, we aim to inform users of the early stages of the blockchain gaming industry. There are a lot of exciting things and features to look forward to, and the future of this new generation of games is extremely bright and attainable. Faraland will stay on track and develop products based on the core values ​​that have been set forth from the beginning and keep on delivering a great gameplay experience to gamers all across the globe.
