Wilderness Play 2 Earn is a Fantasy World that immerses the participants of the ecosystem in a variety of activities they love, starting with a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game [MMORPG] in the Decentraland metaverse.

The Wilderness community transcends beyond just gameplay, however. The participants of the Wilderness ecosystem establish digital connections that are reinforced by Marketplace Trades, Team dynamics in the gameplay, Social gatherings and Parties in the metaverse, town hall discussions and active Social Media engagement.

Wilderness' development team sees a future where Billions of people around the world will engage in activities they love and be fairly rewarded for it. Wilderness aims to be the most encompassing fantasy world for these people to play, socialize and earn. The era of big corporations extracting huge profits at the expense of time spent by the users in their ecosystem is at the brink of collapsing and Wilderness will play a key role in creating a new ecosystem where value is fairly distributed among all the participants

Wilderness NFTs

Non Fungible Tokens or NFTs have seen a massive surge in popularity and adoption over the last couple of years. Wilderness has offered NFTs as a reward for gameplay since its beginning. Since then, Wilderness has launched and distributed multiple NFTs with different use cases to its community in the form of Play-to-Earn rewards. Wilderness still believes that there are tons of other possibilities with NFTs and will continue to be at the forefront of experimenting with and introducing different use cases for NFTs and will continue to innovate on the Play-to-Earn rewards it provides to the players.

Some of the notable features of the wide array of NFTs Wilderness has distributed as rewards are:

• Wilderness VIP Passes (https://opensea.io/collection/wilderness-p2e) provide a unique utility of access to the VIP Sale of all new Wilderness NFT releases. The VIP Sale starts exactly one day before the public sale of these NFTs. During this 24 hour period, VIP Pass holders are eligible for a 20% discount on the newly listed NFTs, subject to terms and conditions.

• Wearable Items of Wilderness come in the form of Decentraland Wearables, making them interoperable with the rest of the Decentraland ecosystem. These items provide different kinds of bonuses and are minted in different rarities to provide players with a vast choice of rewards to choose from.

• Clan Master’s Wearables allow players to generate a passive income subject to the quality and hardwork of the clan they can recruit and manage .

• Wilderness aims to provide the first free NFT (they even cover the gas fee) to every gaming and metaverse enthusiast.

• NFT Wearables that can be claimed as rewards are integrated with the Decentraland Metaverse.

• The Wilderness game is also known to have a unique set of Wilderness Fantasy Artwork within their wearables that exudes a factor of exclusivity of their community.

$WLDY Token and Economics

$WLDY is an ERC-20 token, initially based on Polygon Blockchain, which tokenizes the currency of value for the Wilderness Ecosystem on the blockchain. While all the important game items in Wilderness ecosystem have been released in the form of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) right from the beginning, the intermediate currency of value : Wilderness Coin will be launched before the end of April 2022 to enable players own any fraction of wealth that they generate in the ecosystem and to increase the efficiency of Wilderness economy.

Governance

The Market size of the Global Gaming Industry reached $220B + in the year 2021. The players who participate in these gaming ecosystems however, are seen as sources of money that have to be exploited to generate profits by traditional gaming companies. With rapid adoption of Cryptocurrencies over the past decade and the explosion of Non Fungible Tokens (or NFTs) over the last year, the gaming industry is bound to undergo a massive transformation. NFTs have enabled virtual assets to be tokenized and owned by the community, rather than being a discretionary object in the control of centralized entities.

Following the ethos of decentralized organizations like Ethereum and Decentraland, Wilderness was born in December 2021 with the goal of creating a gaming ecosystem where value is distributed back to the community fairly and the community dictates the development of the game. Unlike protocols and platforms, a good game needs a centralized body to carry out the development of it and own the centralized server for a seamless gaming experience, especially in the early stages to take fast decisions and help the project reach a Product-Market Fit. Wilderness is also developed by a centralized organization in its current state, which we will hereby refer to as “The Ministry '. The Ministry will be registered as a legal entity to represent the Wilderness ecosystem in the legal framework and details of the same will be shared with the Wilderness community and DAO as thathappens. The Ministry started with one person leading the development and has now grown into a small organization of people dedicating themselves to the project in different capacities. Details of the people involved in this organization can be found on our website at https://wildernessp2e.com/#team.

The Ministry takes cognizance of the fact that any centralized organization, no matter the intentions at the time of establishment, runs into the risk of turning into the same evil Wilderness was started to fight against. To mitigate this risk, The ministry has already started holding public discourses on all important issues and decisions of the game on its discord server : https://discord.gg/y4GxdEPz4x.These discourses lay the foundation stone for the establishment of a DAO within the next 6 months and subsequent actions to enable the Wilderness DAO have complete control over all the decisions related to the ecosystem including the right to change leadership within The Ministry and/or change its structure entirely.

Gameplay

Wilderness started as an MMORPG [Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game] which provides a fun gaming experience while incentivizing players with earning opportunities. Wilderness creates a vibrant economy for its players with no Price for Participation by earnestly distributing the value created in the game back to its players.

Starting with an immersive Magic Combat experience, Wilderness players enter a fantasy world which is more dynamic and strategic than most of the things we experience in life outside the metaverse. The thrill of exploring mythical creatures in a fantasy world, discovering new tactics everyday and building the best strategies with and against other players makes it an unforgettable experience.

Gameplay in Wilderness is not static. With new developments every week, there is always something new to explore. As we grow, players will be able to enjoy new forms of adventure like Melee and Ranged Combat, and tons of other skills. Every player will play their part in contributing to the overall experience of the game. While some may prefer to be the combat experts, others will be able to choose less violent skills like Cooking, Woodcutting, Farming, etc. It is this diversity and the resonance of different aspects of the game that enable Wilderness to provide different gameplay and economic opportunities to everyone in the world.
