Successful crypto investors say there’s an edge in following the crowd on Twitter and Discord. And it’s true. 

Anonymous Twitter accounts, researchers, and investment groups on social media have earned the crypto community’s respect over the last few years. However, you wouldn’t know about them from crypto media websites because they seldom make headlines.

I am talking about people like Tetranode, DCF God, and Light. More often than not, it pays to follow them. 

Today, I will talk about a community-led blockchain game Ragnarok, which is backed by anonymous angels like DCF God, Cold Blooded Shiller, and SatsDart. You gain some advantages as an early adopter with such backers.

Ragnarok is an anime-themed play-to-earn (P2E) game. It has 7,777 NFT characters and an in-game token $RAG.

The characters will have a breeding feature, which will enable holders to produce new NFTs. Such a mechanic played well for Axie Infinity and should work the same for Ragnarok. It provides an opportunity for acting as a metaverse landlord: new players will need NFT characters, which you, as a holder of genesis NFTs, will produce to sell or rent out.

On top of that, the NFTs will likely make holders eligible for earning $RAG tokens, which is an additional return on investment.

The public mint drop is scheduled for early March, 2022. Out of a total of 7,777 NFTs, 5,000 will be sold to the public via a dutch auction. The rest of the characters are reserved for early backers and allowlist community members. 

The 2,777 reserved NFTs will be distributed as follows:

  • 1,500 for Discord members with the “Pixel” role,
  • 1,000 for Discord members with the “Pill” role,
  •  277 for the team to distribute later.

According to the project’s Discord, only 348 out of 2,500 allowlist roles have been filled. Meanwhile, the Discord server has over 16,000 users. The allowlist is being filled slowly, not because of low participation, but high requirements.

To get a “Pixel” or a “Pill” role, you need to complete regularly updated quests in the project’s demo application. For instance, last week, it involved looking for a particular character named “Benchamin“. 

In addition to that, you will probably have more chances if you actively participate in Discord discussions. You can even produce content like music or art for the project if you have such a hobby. In similar projects, this approach was historically efficient.

It may appear that getting on Ragnarok allowlist is a hassle. And judging by my previous experience, it is. Given the overwhelming demand and high requirements, it will take a lot of time and effort to get on board.

However, it may be worth your while if you consider who is behind the project. Once the sale is complete, you will likely hear shoutouts from the project’s backers on Twitter, where thousands of users get their investment recommendations.

Consequently, the hype around Ragnarok should increase, which is beneficial for you as an early buyer. NFT prices usually go up several times from the mint price in such setups. So, you will likely have a great return on your invested time.

For example, NFTs of another hyped blockchain game, Crypto Unicorns, were recently trading at over 10x from the mint price and now are trading at 8x.

To conclude, I believe that there’s value in getting into projects with backers that have a large following on social media. If you have a chance, I suggest you try getting on the Ragnarok allowlist, even if it feels intimidating. Because if you get on board, you will firmly establish yourself as a metaverse landlord.
