Step by step guide to entering the Castle Age Web3 world: understand the Web3 version, master account binding, familiarize yourself with the top-up mechanism and strategies, and become a pioneer among newbies in Web3 gaming.
Web3 Version Overview: Differences and Advantages
The Web3 version (also known as the mirror version) is the web-based/on-chain mirror version of Castle Age launched for decentralized and cross-platform access. Players can bypass the restrictions of the Facebook platform in their browser and log in directly using a universal account.
The difference from the traditional version lies in: possible asset openness, cross-device compatibility, ad-free experience, and better platform stability. Some iOS features can only be accessed through the Web3 version.
Account binding and login process
Newbie players who have a Facebook version account need to follow these steps:
- In the Web3 login interface, submit a binding application using information such as army code, character name, or recharge order number.
- After receiving the verification email, bind the account with the email and password to upgrade to a universal account.
- After that, you can directly log in to the Web3/Web4 version using a universal account (email + password), without relying on Facebook.
Note: If you are a Newbie (not using the Facebook version), you can register a universal account directly without binding an old account.
Latest trends and capital environment
- With the GameFi boom, Web3 games are becoming a battleground for capital competition. For example, the Japanese market has established a $50 million Web3 gaming ecosystem fund.
- In the Web3 game trading rankings, “Castle Age” was also mentioned alongside others.
- As more and more blockchain game projects receive funding, the landscape of the Web3 gaming market is still being reshaped.
In light of these trends, if Castle Age Web3 can develop smoothly, early players will have an advantage in entry.
Recharge, Price and Token Mechanism
In the traditional version, the typical recharge options for Castle Age include: US$9.99 (60 favor points), US$99.99 (700 favor points), etc.
In the Web3 version, direct purchase of favor points with real currency is not yet supported. Therefore, players need to complete asset migration or transactions through other means (such as recharging the original account, transferring, or future on-chain transactions).
Therefore, the price mechanism is in a state of “transition.”
- Traditional version recharge is still available.
- Asset trading on Web3 is relatively restricted.
- If on-chain trading is opened in the future, favor points, hero equipment, items, and other potential NFTs or tokenization may lead to more market-oriented prices.
For newbies, it might be a good idea to start with a small recharge in the traditional version to experience the gameplay and economic system before cautiously entering Web3 asset trading.
Five-step onboarding process (from zero to hands-on)
- Familiarize yourself with the traditional version gameplay: First, learn the basics such as heroes, combat mechanics, resource management, and daily tasks on the Facebook or iOS platform.
- Create or bind a universal account: Link your game account with your email to upgrade to a Web3 universal account.
- Log in to Web3/Web4 version: Use a new account to log in to the Web3 interface.
- Transfer or sync assets: If there are existing deposits, favor points, or hero assets, check the official guide to see if transfer or sync is supported.
- Participate in activities and try small investments: Pay attention to anniversaries, holidays, and time-limited events, and invest a small amount of resources to test Web3 functions. Observe whether there are on-chain assets activated and the possibility of trading.
Through these five steps, newbies can smoothly transition to the Web3 version and try asset participation under controllable risks.
