About Treeverse

Treeverse is a top-down MMORPG set in the city of Lorwick within the world of Arboros. It features exploration, combat, and crafting, with a strong emphasis on social interaction and cooperative gameplay. Inspired by classic MMORPGs such as RuneScape, Treeverse utilizes a classless progression system, allowing players to shape their own playstyles through a knowledge tree. Players can engage in various activities, including completing quests, battling creatures, gathering resources, and crafting items.

One of the game’s unique elements is the ability for players to own and customize land through Treeverse Plots. These spaces can serve as social hubs or personal areas for crafting and trading. Additionally, NFTrees provide an in-game economic function, allowing owners to grow and sell resources within the game’s ecosystem. Timeless Characters, another NFT collection, can be used as in-game avatars, giving holders a distinctive identity in the game world.

Alpha Phase Access and NTFs

The alpha phase is currently restricted to those who own specific Treeverse NFTs. Holders of Treeverse Plots, which represent land ownership within the game, Timeless characters, which serve as unique playable avatars, and NFTrees, which contribute to the in-game economy, are eligible to participate. To gain access, eligible players must complete a registration form. The developers have emphasized that this whitelist-only phase is a crucial testing period before broader availability.

Treeverse is initially launching as a mobile-first game, with priority given to Android and iOS users. Android players can download the game directly from the Google Play Store, while iOS users must apply for access through a registration form due to Testflight’s user limitations. A Windows version is currently in development, but for now, the focus remains on optimizing the mobile experience before expanding to other platforms.

Whitelist Requirements and Wallet Setup

Simply installing the game does not grant immediate access. Players must whitelist their wallets through Immutable Passport to log in. This process involves signing in to Immutable Sandbox, linking an external wallet, and connecting a MetaMask wallet that holds Treeverse assets. Without completing this step, even eligible NFT holders will be unable to enter the game.

Unlike later versions, this alpha phase does not offer any rewards. The developers have stated that a reward campaign will be introduced during the public alpha phase, giving early testers additional incentives once the game moves beyond its initial closed testing period.

Development and Future Plans

Treeverse was first introduced in 2021 by Loopify, an NFT collector and creator. Initially conceived as a digital NFT project, it has since evolved into a full-fledged MMORPG with web3 integration. Endless Clouds, the development studio behind the game, consists of over 50 developers with experience working on major titles such as League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

The development team has outlined future plans that include a Windows release following the mobile alpha phase. The next major milestone will be the public alpha, which will introduce a reward system and expand access beyond NFT holders. As the game continues to develop, further utility for Treeverse Plots, Timeless Characters, and NFTrees is expected to be introduced.

With the alpha phase now live for NFT holders, the next steps in Treeverse’s development will bring the game closer to a full release. Players who hold eligible NFTs now have the opportunity to explore Lorwick ahead of the general public, while others can anticipate further updates and the eventual public alpha launch.
