@ThatMillwallPod @BlueTintedLCFC It was me, and I would like to apologise profusely for those comments that were bang out of order. I regret saying them and wish I could take them back.

Congratulations on your fantastic win and brilliant performance.

[Anil Das-Gupta @_AnilDG]

I'd like to make a public apology to all Milwall supporters for some of my comments post match on @BlueTintedLCFC yesterday. It was bang out of order and emotions should never get the better of you despite a result.

Congratulations on your well deserved win.

@jamesallcott This is on Firefox by the way, i will check it in other browsers

[Anil Das-Gupta @_AnilDG]

@jamesallcott Great idea! There's an issue on it at the moment. I tried uploading an image onto the Media Draw section, and tried to draw a line on it. But when I draw the line, the entire screen goes black and you can't see anything.

Great idea anyway!

We’ve integrated with LayerZero to take Farcana truly multi-chain.

This isn’t just a milestone. it’s a calculated move to future-proof Farcana.

Here’s why this integration is a significant leap in Farcana’s history. 🧵

@rehan16388 @blastroyale @0xRenny This is a situation we are aware of and we are discussing as a team possible solutions

TGE for NOOB did not go according to plan. We have a lot of bridges to mend and trust to regain.

Our mission is to make an amazing game that is FUN and helps take web3 to mainstream audiences. This has not changed, we will continue to ship, continue to add utility to the NOOB token within our ecosystem and continue to put the amazing Blast Royale Community first!

TGE $NOOB Community Statement

To the Blastverse community,

We want to take a moment to address everything that’s unfolded over the past few days.

You’ve been incredibly supportive, and we owe it to you to be open, honest, and transparent about what’s happened, where we are now, and our future plans.

What Happened

We launched $NOOB after two months of intense build-up, with a lot of you grinding hard, showing your belief in us, and contributing to the Blastverse.

During our Community Round, we were able to raise significant funds from a single launchpad, although it wasn’t quite what we initially aimed for. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, and your commitment means the world to us.

We know that the tech issues surrounding the TGE didn’t meet expectations. While many users successfully claimed their tokens, not everyone was able to do so. We understand how frustrating this has been and are working day and night to solve it for all users.

We understand that the high gas fees on Ethereum made claiming your $NOOB tokens costly, and for some of you, it was frustrating to see those fees taking part of the token rewards.

To be completely transparent, we didn’t anticipate such high gas fees caused by an unprecedented BTC all-time high of over $90K, but we take full responsibility for the timing and structure.

We are actively working on optimizing the claim process and exploring low gas fee alternatives to offer a smoother experience.
We will continue to support you throughout this in our community channels and will address these within the coming weeks.

The Big Picture

While the TGE didn’t meet expectations, we are proud of what we’ve achieved on the gameplay side.

We hit a record 85,000 daily active users (DAU) during our Loot-to-Airdrop event, and more than 3M $NOOB tokens have been spent in-game before listing. Incredible numbers that show how the Blastverse has captured the attention and passion of players worldwide.

The game itself is actually stronger than ever and this is especially why we believe that we will overcome these TGE challenges.

Even after the Loot-to-Airdrop campaign ended, we’re still seeing 45-50k DAU with no economic incentives. This confirms that we have product-market fit and that the game truly entertains our players.

To our NFT holders, we’re proud of the value you’ve seen, many of you have shared this has been your biggest airdrop to date, as you are aware we have big plans and the best is yet to come.

Our Commitment Moving Forward

We are determined to make things right and ensure that we not only meet but exceed your expectations. Here’s how we plan to do it:

Resolving Technical Issues

We’re working tirelessly to improve the Blast Hub and streamline the claiming process and aim to have Blast Hub issues resolved for all claiming related transactions as soon as possible, with regular Discord updates on progress made.

Your experience matters, and we won’t stop until it’s as smooth as it should be.

Strategic Approach to $NOOB

We understand there’s been significant pressure from the community to take immediate actions to boost the $NOOB price and our priority is to deliver short-term solutions while always maintaining long-term sustainability of the project.

We are actively monitoring the situation. We want to reassure you that any decisions we make will be carefully considered to benefit the entire community.

Co-Building With Our Community

We’ve been building the Blastverse for over three years, pouring our passion into creating a game that has reached 1.2M installs.

We’re committed to continue building a project that thrives for years to come, always communicating openly and taking your feedback to heart.

Our ethos has always been that Blast Royale is our game and we will co-create it together, this also stands true for the $NOOB, especially with governance on the horizon.

Focusing on the Road Ahead

While it’s been a tough launch, we are far from done.

We still have huge plans on our roadmap, including exciting updates we haven’t even shared yet, which we’re planning to reveal towards the end of Q4, with a big push into 2025.

We are doubling down and plan to deliver a big game update in December. Trust us when we say the best is yet to come.

While all of this sounds exciting, our priority right now is still on dealing with the post-TGE environment.

Final Thoughts

We understand that right now, the sentiment is low, and some of you are feeling disheartened. But remember, the Blastverse is about more than just a token—it’s about a game, a community, and a shared vision of something great.

We’ve hit some bumps in the road, but together, we will overcome them by improving tech features and daily support for our community, as well as creating campaigns which elevate the enjoyment of our community and utility of our ecosystem.

We’re here, we’re listening, and we’re not going anywhere.

We’ll continue to work day and night to prove that your belief in us was not misplaced, and we’re committed to making Blast Royale a game that you can be proud to be part of.

Thanks to those of you who share our vision and are just as bullish as we are on the success of Blast Royale.

When we said this is just the beginning, we meant every word.

Noob Army will grow stronger from every challenge we face... TO THE NOOB!

You know the marketing is doing a great job when:

• Investors reach out saying we're all over everyone's timeline
• Our servers have melted due to the high demand from Loot-to-Airdrop

We're slightly delaying the $NOOB listing to make things even bigger 🚀🌕

[WallStreetAlpha @WallStreetAlfa]

$NOOB LISTING UPDATE

Thanks to the incredible stats we're seeing with our Loot-To-Airdrop, we've received big opportunities that we can't pass up to make our launch even bigger!

To make this happen and finalise everything, we're moving our listing by 15 days to November 13 🗓️

A first big announcement is coming tomorrow, and we’re sure you’ll love it 👀

Thanks for your patience while we level things up, Noobs!
