On Monday, when I was checking my various holdings at the beginning of the month, I noticed something interesting.
This is what I mean:
Want to guess what that is? The title may give it away, but if you thought STARBITS, nope, that's not it. It's STARPRO, the other token of RisingStar. It rose from roughly 6 HIVE in late March to roughly 16 HIVE these days, while the price of HIVE in USD is about the same (for those who want a USD price reference). I feel pretty good about holding onto STARPRO, even if it's a small amount.
But STARBITS is doing ok too lately:
And they both started to reverse course at the same time, in the second part of March.
I checked to see what happened then. This is what happened:
@risingstargame/easter-seasonal-mission-new-server-and-new-blending-information
I'm sure the yearly Easter Mission had something to do with the token price increases, but I also think the other news shared then is responsible: new, quicker server. That makes interacting with the game much smoother these days, even if it's just for a few clicks.
They also started releasing news about a new series of cards recently, which will work on a separate zone. And they should come out after Raves will be launched ("aiming for early to mid May for the full launch of Raves"). Looks like we might be very close to the release of Raves, which is the Rising Star's version of team gameplay.
One reason STARPRO might've soared in price recently could be because it has utility on Raves, as far as I know.
