<p>After about 12 months of backend designing and alpha testing, Metagates has announced that the much-anticipated beta launch of its MMORPG game is finally around the corner. According to the <a href="https://metagates.io/dev-blog/arbitrumnova">announcement</a>, the game is set to go live on Arbitrum’s recently launched Nova chain.&nbsp;</p><p>Metagates in the announcement disclosed that Nova is currently the only chain suited to house its upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Metagates is excited to announce we have chosen to build on the gaming chain of <a href="https://twitter.com/Reddit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Reddit</a>’ community point system, <a href="https://twitter.com/arbitrum?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@arbitrum</a> Nova. <br><br>Arbitrum is the only chain that has the technology and reach we need to build and grow our MMORPG.<br><br>Follow us to learn more.<a href="https://t.co/xGBobFZ7QD">https://t.co/xGBobFZ7QD</a></p>— Metagates (@MetagatesOnline) <a href="https://twitter.com/MetagatesOnline/status/1584682174112202753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 24, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p>Metagates, in its exact words, described Arbitrum as the only “[...] chain that has the technology and reaches we need to build and grow our MMORPG.” It is also important to note that the upcoming beta launch will be a closed beta platform. This means that interested persons will need to apply to be a part of the beta testing. You can apply for the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScW4Iywdx_VsWZfJyh9MFkOaEwSdhYgg_dUs0LsSPflc7JpHA/viewform">beta testing here.</a></p><h2><strong>Important Details About Metagates Beta Launch</strong></h2><p>Metagates is largely known for its focus on ensuring top-notch user experience. It has also been widely touted as a player-driven ecosystem designed with top-notch city economies. It also has a player-owned housing economy located outside the central NPC city. Users who are interested in owning houses in the upcoming Metagates ecosystem can <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdDNhuElMRs_6I0W9tjAfZYJec9GVConUjJEa5D3sn5JisU5w/viewform">sign up for NFT deeds here</a>.</p><p>Interestingly, these NFT deeds are valuable in-game assets. They can be traded in Metagates for gold or better still sold on other third-party marketplaces. The house deeds will also be made available on Ethereum layer-1. Notably, Metagates apart from being an MMORPG will also operate as a cross-chain NFT ecosystem.</p><p>The closed beta testing will include a Player vs Player (PvP) and a Player vs Environment (PvE) layout. The PvP combat layout is an upgrade from the Metagates alpha test map. The PvP layout includes a more open and expansive ecosystem along with exciting combat features like dodge mechanics, auto attacks, etc.&nbsp;</p><p>Also, the previous overhead camera has been modified and is now placed over the shoulder. This makes it possible for players to have more navigation ranges and a better view of the environment. Plans are also in place to include more features like improved weapons, armor, unique skills, etc. All these additions will be introduced slowly into the Metagates beta universe also known as ‘The Shard of Singularity’. Interestingly, The Old World is a landmass within ‘The Shard of Singularity’.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bracket sign-ups for next weekend's Metagates PvP Tournament are online!<a href="https://t.co/N1prjzIiR6">https://t.co/N1prjzIiR6</a> <a href="https://t.co/JBGQG6fUwo">pic.twitter.com/JBGQG6fUwo</a></p>— Metagates (@MetagatesOnline) <a href="https://twitter.com/MetagatesOnline/status/1584362033243246592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 24, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><h2><strong>Metagates Gameplay</strong></h2><p>Metagates gameplay starts at the center of the map. Players have to move from the ruins of a tower and explore the world. The player will also encounter different biomes or zones like the Trinsic, Atura, Minax, and a small demo zone. In each zone, monsters will be put in place to add more challenge to the gameplay. These monsters will be from the Old World and will be aggressive. Filled with rage, they will roam into the night looking for any chance to survive.</p><p>For now, the starting zones are still just test concepts. These concepts will be expanded upon in future beta updates. Apart from the already listed predefined zones or biomes, players will also enjoy the possibility of designing and creating entirely new zones in the future.</p><p>In conclusion, this announcement is splendid news not just for Metagates but for the recently launched Nova chain. According to Metagates, Nova’s high speed, and low cost makes it not just an excellent infrastructure for its beta launch but a “[...] champion for in-game NFTs and the masked blockchain operations of the game.”&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>
