Event Format and Gameplay Changes

Throughout the four-week event, Pirate Nation will feature several updates aimed at enhancing competitive play. One of the key changes is a major rebalancing of cards used in the game, which is expected to affect strategic decisions across matches. Additionally, a player's Plunder Rating, also known as Matchmaking Rating (MMR), is now visible, allowing participants to better track their performance and progression. All leagues have been reset in conjunction with the event's launch, ensuring an even playing field for both new and returning players.

The event will also introduce weekly updates, with some gameplay elements expected to evolve during the competition. For example, in-game features such as The Storm may change behavior at various points during the event. These changes are intended to maintain a dynamic and engaging experience throughout the month-long campaign.

Reward Structure and Eligibility

Participants in the Legend of the Underlord event will not face any reward vesting period, meaning all rewards will be immediately accessible upon earning. To be eligible for rewards, players must hold either a Founder's Pirate or an active VIP status. Importantly, rewards are limited to one per player, even if they operate multiple accounts.

In such cases, only the highest-ranking account will receive a reward, and additional rewards will be passed down to the next ranked unique players. Top-performing players will earn exclusive items, but each of the top 100 rewards can only be earned once per player to encourage fairness and discourage multi-account farming.

The Vision Behind Pirate Nation

Pirate Nation is designed around core principles that distinguish it from traditional games. The development team at Proof of Play combines blockchain technology with a player-first philosophy. The game is entirely on-chain, meaning that all player actions, assets, and achievements are recorded and verifiable on the blockchain. This transparency contributes to the game’s security and long-term sustainability.

The studio emphasizes player ownership, allowing individuals to retain full control of their in-game assets and actively contribute to the game’s growth and economy. Pirate Nation is also built with remixability in mind, meaning that players and developers alike can build on the game’s infrastructure to create new content or derivative experiences.

A New Approach to Web3 Gaming

Pirate Nation reflects a broader shift in the gaming industry towards decentralization and transparency. As a web3 game, it enables players not just to participate but to shape the game’s trajectory. With each new event, such as Legend of the Underlord, the game continues to build on its commitment to community involvement, innovation, and open development. More information about the event and ongoing updates can be found through the official Pirate Nation channels, including the game’s website, Twitter, Discord, and Medium.
