This post is not financial advice
I stumbled upon this new game on Hive. My d Empire I was whitelisted to get into the testing phase.
Total spent on packs and additional EMP : 92 HIVE.
I am fairly confident over time that I will earn that back by posting game updates...eventually :)
I do not have a strategy yet as I am still learning and brand new. But first things first is to build factories on my lands. The construction can take a while.... a couple of days on some of them. There isn't anything else to do in the game for me until they complete building and start earning.
(edited for clarity)
From there I will use in game earnings/rewards and build up from there. I need to spend more HIVE to get more EMP (in game token) to build the blueprints. I may also use post earnings from blogging about the game to speed things up (this is what I normally do in Hive games).
As many of you know I am a big fan of sustainability and this looks promising on that front. No inflationary token. I would like some more info about how they, in the long term, plan to grow the HIVE holdings they use as rewards without relying on new purchases. That will be the real sustainability test.
Most games fail when new players don't continuously come in (or purchases stall). I am curious long term what the strategy is to continue to grow HIVE holdings. Even if that strategy is simple- post earnings ,curation, savings. These are things that can add to stability over time and would not require new purchases to fund the reward pools. Paying out less than 10% of holdings every year as rewards would make it sustainable (even if no new purchases come in)if they are leveraging curation and posting. There are many strategies for sustainability. These are just my first thoughts on it.
It's possible this has already been addressed but I didn't see any posts on this specifically. I have not read every post.

Enough rambling. Let me start building my empire. I'll update once my buildings complete and I start earning.
