This would be a MASSIVE step towards creating a true MMORPG experience. Items would include weapons, armor, and consumables like any other RPG fan would expect. However, what makes this interesting is that since theses are non-soulbound NFTs, we will also be creating a player-to-player economy. Some items will only be available to warriors and some to priests, so if you loot an epic item not for your class, sell it!\n\nCurrently, we are laying the foundation (gameplay) of the game, but the Season 3 items update is where the MMO aspect of the game will truly come online... or onchain :)\n\nIt's going to be epic!\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0}, "recipient": "0xDDFcd8957dFC987A14FAf11b61E74097B9CF8C7f"}}
