Taking a Step Back: Renting Out My Soulkeep Assets

Sometimes, stepping back can be the best way to move forward. Recently, I made the decision to put all of my Soulkeep assets up for rent, a move driven by mounting disappointment with the direction the game has taken. While I had high hopes for Soulkeep when I first jumped in, recent changes and a lack of alignment with my gaming priorities made it clear that continuing to play wasn’t for me.

A Quick Dive into Renting

Though I hadn’t seriously considered renting my Soulkeep assets before, I decided to test the waters. To my surprise, a handful of my assets immediately sparked some interest. Encouraged by this response—and given my waning interest in progressing through the leagues—I decided to list my entire collection for rent.

Thanks to PeakMonsters, the process was far easier than I expected. After a quick troubleshooting session in their Discord community (shoutout to their team for being so responsive!), I was able to list all my assets with just a few clicks.

Market Realities: Demand is Weak

While the setup was smooth, the results were a mixed bag. Unsurprisingly, not much has been rented so far, highlighting the weak demand for Soulkeep assets in the current market. This didn’t come as a shock—after all, my decision to step away was partly due to the same lack of excitement I suspect many players are feeling.

Despite this, I feel at ease with my decision. Renting out my assets allows me to stay connected to the game without the commitment of active play. It’s a win-win: my cards have the potential to generate passive income, even if it’s modest, and I can redirect my focus toward other areas of the Splinterlands ecosystem.

Refocusing on Splinterlands Land

With my Soulkeep assets now on autopilot, I’m ready to dive back into a project that has always held my attention: Splinterlands land. The upcoming Land 1.75 update has reignited my excitement, and I’m eager to refine my strategy and maximize the potential of my plots. Land has always felt like the cornerstone of the Splinterlands economy, and I’m hopeful that this next phase will deliver the much-needed depth and engagement I’ve been looking for.

While I’m stepping away from Soulkeep for now, I’m not shutting the door completely. The game’s trajectory remains uncertain, but I’ll keep an eye on its development from the sidelines. Renting out my assets has given me a sense of closure while still leaving the door open for a potential return if things change for the better.

For now, I’m channeling my energy into areas that excite me most—namely Splinterlands land and its ever-evolving ecosystem. If there’s one thing I’ve learned through my time in Splinterlands, it’s that focusing on what sparks joy and purpose is key to staying engaged in the long run.
