WorldShards, the immersive sandbox MMORPG platform, has announced its "New Beginnings" contest, offering verified players the chance to showcase their building skills through creative 60-second videos. The contest is designed to celebrate the platform's vibrant creator community and provide players with an opportunity to earn exclusive in-game rewards, including Islands of Tranquility and NFTs.

More About Worldshards?

Set in the ethereal realm of Murlandia, Worldshards presents a diverse landscape of floating islands ripe for exploration. Players engage in traditional MMO activities such as battling monsters, honing skills, and completing quests, alongside unique elements like puzzles and diplomatic encounters.

Embracing a sandbox-style approach, Worldshards empowers players to shape the game's economy through crafting and trading. With parallel versions catering to both web2 and web3 audiences, the game offers flexibility in accessing its immersive world. Although the gameplay remains identical, the web2 version will be available on Steam, while the web3 version introduces the ability to buy, sell, and trade in-game items as NFTs.

New Beginnings Contest

The New Beginnings contest aims to encourage players to express their creativity by designing and showcasing in-game environments. This initiative highlights the sandbox nature of WorldShards, where players can explore endless possibilities and build unique worlds. The contest is open to verified players only, and those with unverified accounts can easily verify through the official Discord channel to participate.

To enter, players must submit a 60-second video showcasing their creations. The video should be posted on the official WorldShards Discord channel under the contest channel, with the option to also upload it to YouTube. Each participant is allowed to submit only one video, and the video duration must not exceed 60 seconds. The deadline for video submissions has been extended to 9th December 2024 at 5:30 PM.

Other Ongoing Events in WorldShards

In addition to the New Beginnings contest, WorldShards is hosting two other major events:

Craft ‘Em All: In this event, players can craft various items and earn points based on the rarity and tier of the crafted items. Players can participate by crafting weapons, armor, and tools, with weapons earning more points than other items. There are two leaderboards for tracking progress—one for collectible items and another for standard items. The rewards for this event include Islands of Tranquility, Bliss, Harmony, and thousands of Gems.
Runes and Essence: Players are tasked with collecting different types of runes and essences to earn Rush Points. Strategies are key in collecting these items, as each type of rune and essence provides varying amounts of Rush Points. The event offers enticing rewards, including Islands of Delight, Happiness, and Joy, along with Legendary, Epic, and Rare Artifacts.

Both the Craft ‘Em All and Runes and Essence events began on 9th November 2024 and are still ongoing. The final rewards and winners for these events will be announced at a later date.
