Legend of Ymir highlights play-to-earn features prior to 28th October global launch

Wemade has announced that its next web3-enabled MMORPG Legend of Ymir will go live globally on Tuesday 28th October from 4am UTC.

Legend of Ymir is a norse-themed combat-centric MMORPG, built using Unreal Engine 5,  which will be available via PC and mobile app stores. 

Other similar blockchain-enabled games running on Wemix blockchain platform include first party titles such as Mir4 and Night Crows, as well as third party games like ROM: Golden Age.

One key web3 component of the game is its item economy, which enables players to make and trade higher value items. 

The refinement stone materials required to craft the game’s own common coin currency will only be available through its mileage shop by staking tokens. These common coins are required to craft and enhance legendary NFT equipment that can be traded between players. 

In addition to the game’s general economic activity, there will also be regular seasonal events, which will involve their own refinement stones, coins and legendary items. 

Trading all NFTs will use Wemade’s platform WEMIX token. 

Players will also be able to earn a synthetic version of the WEMIX token, called gWEMIX. The amount of gWEMIX provided for rewards is capped per server. Initially, Wemade will provide this, but over time, the amount of gWEMIX for rewards per server will depend on the amount of WEMIX used for NFT trading per server. 

It can either be used to enhance characters and equipment or converted into the main WEMIX token, albeit with some restrictions. 

The game’s other important web3 component is how it enables users, such as streamers, to buy and operate their own servers alongside the official servers from Wemade. 

This option allows users to name their server, handle some level of user management, run their own events and also take a revenue share of up to 15% of the fees from their server’s economic activity. 

The server economy introduces the separate YMT token, which is used to pay for server services, operational costs and is also required to participate in the auction through which these servers will be sold.
