LAN parties are the oldest form of multiplayer gaming, and Nifty Island takes a page out of the history books with its September 14 LAN event in Manila, Philippines.To host this LAN event, Nifty Island partnered with Gaming Chronicles. Featuring a $300 prize pool and six legendary pistols, this event will take place in Cave Esports Lounge at 2pm SGT on September 14. Nifty Island has been one of the more social Web3 games within the Web3 space in the last months, embarking on collaborations with multiple titles in the process.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_01_188b4f1838.jpg" alt="Nifty-Island-Manila-LAN-event-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_01_188b4f1838.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_01_188b4f1838.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_01_188b4f1838.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>The Nifty Takeover</h2>&nbsp;More than a handful of games and NFT projects, including <a href="https://x.com/youngandsick/status/1833934350079131764">Young and Sick</a> recently, organized game nights in <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Nifty-Island">Nifty Island</a>. This is a two-way street since both projects’ audiences get introduced to each other. Combining this momentum with a LAN event in a region where offline gaming is still pushing strongly speaks volumes about how much Nifty Island prioritizes building its community.<a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-infinity">Axie Infinity</a> co-founders also discussed a similar subject in a recent <a href="https://funjible.games/news/axie-infinity-town-hall-signals-upcoming-event-and-secret-new-game">town hall</a> meeting. Axie Classic has had its fair share of LAN events in the Philippines, and the developers shared that they have been instrumental in the game’s success within the region. With the tournaments and gatherings becoming a frequent occurrence, Axie Infinity naturally developed a devoted fan base in the Philippines, putting out statistics that the game can’t match anywhere else in the world.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_02_a3eee574bf.jpg" alt="Nifty-Island-Manila-LAN-event-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_02_a3eee574bf.jpg 231w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_02_a3eee574bf.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_02_a3eee574bf.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;While Web3 games are decentralized and serve global audiences, LAN events often give players a localized experience that takes a dear place in gamers’ hearts. Putting together quality offline events requires a certain level of effort, which can help a game pass its rivals in terms of local popularity when it comes to their rivals.&nbsp;<h2>Local Approach Has a Proven Track Record</h2>&nbsp;As gamers, we’ve seen this scenario play out many times within the Web2 gaming world. League of Legends beat Dota 2 in global active players with its localized approach, and the same could be said for other titles like FreeFire and Mobile Legends, which have major audiences in Asia.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_03_811dba3e07.jpg" alt="Nifty-Island-Manila-LAN-event-03.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_03_811dba3e07.jpg 235w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_03_811dba3e07.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Nifty_Island_Manila_LAN_event_03_811dba3e07.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;However, there are downsides to this local strategy too. Players from unsupported regions justifiably feel left out and consider moving to other games where they can be more involved. During Axie’s September town hall, for example, many viewers asked whether there were plans to host LAN events for other titles and regions. This drawback can be considered negligible as long as developers don’t forget to take care of their online communities with different seasonal events and constant content updates.&nbsp;
