World of Rogues

The vision of World of Rogues is centered around the empowerment of players within a decentralized gaming ecosystem. Rogues Studio aims to shift control from traditional game developers to the players, allowing them to shape the economy, environment, and narrative. By integrating blockchain technology, the game ensures that in-game assets have real-world value, breaking the boundaries between virtual worlds and reality. The idea is to create a living world where digital ownership means something tangible.

Creative inspiration comes from classic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Runescape, combined with modern blockchain-powered ecosystems. Rogues Studio sought to bring the thrill of traditional MMOs into the Web3 space, offering a seamless experience where ownership and progression are deeply tied to the blockchain. This vision brings together players, creators, and developers to co-create a universe where the world and economy evolve based on the community's collective input.

Additionally, World of Rogues emphasizes the concept of "play as your NFT," allowing players to use characters from NFT collections. This unique feature creates a personalized experience where players are not just part of the game but contribute to the very fabric of its narrative and economy.

The World of Rogues roadmap outlines several important milestones:

• Phase 1 - Alpha Launch: This phase tested basic game mechanics like crafting, gathering, and player economy.
• Phase 2 - Genesis Avatar Collections: Players could now use their NFTs, with Genesis Fox avatars offering exclusive access to certain areas and quests.
• Phase 3 - Public Alpha: The game expanded to a wider audience, incorporating player-driven market features.
• Phase 4 - Beta Launch: Expected to feature more refined mechanics, procedural world generation, and player-owned in-game assets.
• Phase 5 - Full Launch: This stage will include advanced AI-driven UGC systems and a complete blockchain-enabled economy.
