Rise of the Pixels Launch Events: Over 2,000 $HIVE in prizes

 
The Rise of the Pixels Beta roadmap and testing is complete!

<p dir="auto"><strong>🎉 We are ready to go live, with full PXL rewards. 🎉 <p dir="auto">But before we do that, we’re giving Beta users—new and old—a chance to reap some nice rewards. After that, another round of prizes to celebrate the new game. <p dir="auto"> <br /> <center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/Enyumm3KfVV3ZQ8fyhDxGbzpgkXRUBtAT6r4HCS9TnEBdYMmciyM2UqGFJCem6tAULH.png" alt="separator.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/Enyumm3KfVV3ZQ8fyhDxGbzpgkXRUBtAT6r4HCS9TnEBdYMmciyM2UqGFJCem6tAULH.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/Enyumm3KfVV3ZQ8fyhDxGbzpgkXRUBtAT6r4HCS9TnEBdYMmciyM2UqGFJCem6tAULH.png 2x" /> <h2>🗓 Target launch date: Monday, April 22nd. <ul> <li><strong>Pre-launch event & raffle: Monday April 15 to Launch (one full week before launch). <li><strong>Post-launch bonuses: 48 hours of increased PXL rewards (for all). 72 hours of discounts on Recruiters (these improve the stuff you get from opening packs, for a price). <li><strong>Post-launch event & raffle: Either 72 hours or one week <em>after launch (we will ask the community their preference) <p dir="auto">  <h1>🎁 Prizes and how to get ‘em <p dir="auto">Here’s the current prize pot for two events and raffles: <ul> <li>⭐️ A total of <strong>1,200 liquid $HIVE <li>⭐️ <strong>120 8-bit packs (worth ~1100 $HIVE at current price) <li>⭐️ Limited special accessory <strong>NFTs (only way to win them is Events!) <li>⭐️ Studio <strong>Avatars (a new thing! Stay tuned for more info) <li><em>Prize pool may change based on community input: we've considered less HIVE and more packs, for example <p dir="auto"><strong>Note: the four RotP team members are not eligible for packs or $HIVE (but they could possibly win the fancy new NFTs). <p dir="auto">There will be daily prizes for both the best and worst games (based on in-game rating). To maximize chances here, you’ll want to be creating a few games per day. <p dir="auto"><strong>But the big raffles will be based on a Leaderboard score. Your score represents the number of raffle tickets you’ll have when the Launch Events end. For the pre-launch event, super early adopters will get yet another advantage, and last minute Beta users can sneak in too. <p dir="auto">Draw dates and exact prize distribution details to come in future posts—but the bulk of the prizes will be in the post-launch event (we’re thinking 200 HIVE and 20 packs for pre, 1000 HIVE and 100 packs for post. NFT prizes will likely be in both events). <h2>Earn points (both events) by: <ul> <li>Creating & releasing games. All past games in Beta count (pre-launch event only)! <li>Doing research actions. All past research in Beta counts (pre-launch event only). <li>Doing training actions. All past training in Beta counts (pre-launch event only). <li>Buying & opening 8-bit packs, including any you bought in the past (see below for details). <li>Re-blogging specific RotP posts on Hive (including this post!) <li>Early adopter bonus: every Beta reset you’ve “suffered” through gets you points! This only applies to the pre-launch event and raffle. <p dir="auto"><strong>Point details: <ul> <li>Each 8-bit pack purchased = 2 points (counts for both pre- and post-launch events!) <li>Each 8-bit pack opened = 2 points (only counts for the post-launch event) <li>Each game released = 2 points (both events) <li>Each research action = 1 points (both events) <li>Each training action = 0.5 points (both events) <li>Each post reblog = 10 points (for specific posts during the events) <li>Each beta reset endured = 10 points (pre-launch event only) <p dir="auto"> <br /> <center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/Enyumm3KfVV3ZQ8fyhDxGbzpgkXRUBtAT6r4HCS9TnEBdYMmciyM2UqGFJCem6tAULH.png" alt="separator.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/Enyumm3KfVV3ZQ8fyhDxGbzpgkXRUBtAT6r4HCS9TnEBdYMmciyM2UqGFJCem6tAULH.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/Enyumm3KfVV3ZQ8fyhDxGbzpgkXRUBtAT6r4HCS9TnEBdYMmciyM2UqGFJCem6tAULH.png 2x" /> <h1>📈 Post-Launch bonuses <p dir="auto">All players will enjoy increased $PXL rewards for 48 hours after launch. The Pixelians are just so excited to buy Earth inspired games, it seems. <p dir="auto">Also, certain Recruiters will be offering $PXL discounts for the first 72 hours after launch, which will improve your pack drops. The strategy here is pretty simple: start making games ASAP at launch, earn extra $PXL, and then decide if you want to take advantage of the Recruiter sale. <h1>Reminder: switch game sites at launch! <p dir="auto">We’ve been using a completely separate server for the Beta test. The pre-launch Event will be on the Beta site: (<code>beta.riseofthepixels.com), but the post-launch will be on the Main site: (<code>riseofthepixels.com) <p dir="auto"><code>beta. from the URL). There should be many redirects and notices on the old Beta site to help remind you too.<span>So, once we launch on April 22, you'll need to log in to <a href="https://riseofthepixels.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://riseofthepixels.com (remove the <h1>📙 Rulebook update <p dir="auto">While the Event is happening, the Team will be busy making final changes and updates to the <a href="https://rulebook.riseofthepixels.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Rulebook, so that you have full documentation on how to play the Live game with its rewards and tokenomics. <h1>Full game feature reminder <p dir="auto">Here’s all the stuff that is ready to go on the 22nd: <ul> <li>✅ Open packs (use recruiters to improve contents) <li>✅ Team members fusion (combine NFTs for higher rarity; only way to get Mythics) <li>✅ Equip accessories (improve Game rating by equipping) <li>✅ Game creation (core game loop) <li>✅ Real rewards (The HE token $PXL will be live at launch.
