Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the my weekly HSBI giveaway for the Splinterlands community!
As promised in the last giveaway, this time I would like to briefly report on the new Campaign mode. It's a kind of tutorial and I have to say that the mode really isn't badly done. I've played through it myself and I really enjoyed it. The new Foundation cards that you get by playing the Campaign are certainly very helpful for new players and I'm excited to see what else is coming in the future. The only thing I wonder is why something like this has taken so long. I'm not a programmer, but I think that the development of this Campaign mode should be much faster these days. There was also another piece of news last week, and that is the discussion about whether a “Crypto Gaming Recovery Fund” should be introduced, from which the entire crypto gaming industry should benefit and be networked with each other.
Answers to the last Question:
Last week's question was "How long have you been playing Splinterlands?". This time, 13 people took part and answered the question. Let's have a look at some of your answers.
I'm playing almost every single day since August 2021, only took pauses in the summer holidays, the grind goes on!
Wow, almost four years is impressive! I also play Splinterlands almost every day, but sometimes it gets too much for me and I take a short break. There's just so much to do in Splinterlands that there's not enough time!
I've been playing since Feb 2025, so not very long. BUUUT it's a super fun game and I really enjoy it. It's also a great source of stuff to write about here on hive. :)
This makes you the participant who is the newest part of the Splinterlands community. I'm always happy to hear when new players find Splinterlands and are enthusiastic about it. And you're right, there really is something to report about Splinterlands on Hive, I do that myself.
For a year in 2021/2022, then around 18months break, and back since 2024 and having more fun than ever. I wish I hadn't done the break though, missing many cards :-D
This is actually a problem that I have heard from several players. During bad phases, I myself have always wondered whether I should continue playing at all. A certain kind of FOMO (fear of missing out) prevented me from pausing/quitting because I wanted to collect all the reward cards. At the moment I'm glad that I've never really paused, but I can understand if others do. Sometimes you just don't feel like it.
I have been playing the game for more than 4 years
If I've seen it correctly and calculated it correctly, you've played the longest of all the participants. Four years is impressive, even though Splinterlands has been around for seven years. That's when you realize how few players have actually been playing from the beginning and are still playing.
I myself have been playing Splinterlands since January 2022, just like . The way I came to Splinterlands was perhaps a little unusual. I followed a YouTube channel that was primarily about stock market investments. At that time, however, cryptocurrencies were very much in vogue and I had already invested a little in BTC and ETH. This YouTube channel then published a video about which play-2-earn games it plays and that's how I came across Splinterlands. The YouTube channel no longer has anything to do with Splinterlands and was never heavily invested, but without it I would probably never have found Splinterlands. I then also started blogging on Hive quite quickly and realized the advantages of the Hive Blockchain. Although there were always phases where I played less Splinterlands and wrote blogs, I never took a major break and am very happy about it today. I hope it continues like this for a long time to come.
