In a significant stride toward broadening access and enhancing player engagement, the alpha iteration of the science fiction MMORPG looter shooter, Earth From Another Sun, has transitioned into a free-to-play model up until August 19th. This change not only opens the gates for a wider audience to dive into its rich, immersive universe but also introduces an innovative mechanism to earn through in-game missions, offering $SOL and other rewards via Daily Bounties for a limited period.
How to Play and Earn For Free
In the past, engagement with the game's earning mechanisms was primarily through the accumulation of Bounty Shards. These shards could be gathered via a daily check-in system facilitated through the Kepler Citizenship Program, the game's proprietary rewards platform. This system allowed for the assembly of shards necessary to craft both Standard and Elite Bounty Crates. The inception of the Bounties feature, along with a 30-day special event, initially granted limited free game access through continuous daily check-ins. However, those who have yet to partake or have missed consecutive check-ins now have a streamlined avenue for participation: directly downloading the game's launcher from the official website, necessitating around 64 GB of space. Completing Daily Bounties after reaching level 5 in-game becomes the new path to claiming your earned rewards, stressing the importance of manual claim within the designated period to secure your Bounty Crates.
Ownership of an EFAS Citizenship Passport NFT elevates the rewards potential, allowing for the claim of Elite Bounty Crates proportionate to the number of Passports held. Available for trade on Magic Eden at a notable valuation, these passports not only enhance the bounty claiming capacity but also unlock exclusive benefits, potentially including whitelists, NFT airdrops, and access to special events.
What Can Be Found in Bounty Crates?
The intrigue surrounding Bounty Crates lies in their yet-to-be-revealed contents, promising an assortment of valuable prizes. Standard Bounty Crates may contain anything from whitelist spots for upcoming mintings, $SOL airdrops of varying amounts, to diverse in-game resources such as Dark Energy Canisters and Credits, alongside the coveted NS Data Core Chests and rare weapons. Elite Bounty Crates, on the other hand, offer enhanced rewards including larger $SOL airdrops, increased quantities of in-game currencies, and premium rarity assets, fostering a deep sense of anticipation and excitement among participants as they await the opportunity to unveil their prizes.
