昨晚失眠了，躺在床上非常焦虑，因为我深爱的行业正在快速流失用户。

很多人会问：做链游的从业者里，真的有热爱游戏的吗？
很遗憾，就我所见，确实有，但并不多。在传统Web2游戏圈子里一直流传着这样一句话：“如果你连自己做的游戏都不喜欢，又怎么能指望别人喜欢？” 我觉得这同样适用于Web3。

过去一年，许多明星项目逐渐走向衰亡，随之而来的是大批用户的“被深埋”。
每每遇到这种情况，我都十分痛心。更离谱的是，这些受损的用户最终还要被PUA——“是你自己认知不足”。
我是真心热爱游戏行业的，但看到这种状况，常常会感到愤懑：作恶者拿到大结果，最终却让那些真正热爱行业的玩家和开发者买单，这不合理。

要知道，一个游戏失去了热爱它的玩家必然会走向死亡；同样，一个行业失去了热爱它的开发者也无法长久。很不幸，链游眼下正在同时失去这两者。
为什么会沦落到这种地步？ 在我看来，根本原因之一是：大多数玩家并不具备投资游戏的能力和判断力。

在Web2里，玩家会以产品力来衡量：游戏是否创新、有趣？微氪能不能玩？重氪是否爽快？这些选择标准与优秀游戏的核心本质相吻合。可放到Web3，“该用什么标准来挑游戏”却成了一个未解决的问题。

如果你将短期造富视为唯一标准，而没有上一波爆发式增长的环境加持，链游肯定不是一个好标的。资本的青睐更多取决于运气，需要大量试错机会，而游戏研发周期长、成本高，根本无法提供那种“无限试错”的空间。在这方面，meme反而更能“以小博大”。

如果你将资金与背景视为唯一标准，就会出现“套壳公司”批量涌现，或是虚假融资大行其道。更糟糕的是，为了得到所谓的“资本认可”，开发商往往要付出数倍成本，而这些资金原本可以用于维护资产价格或进行游戏运营。我并不反对良性的合作，但“军备竞赛”式的竞争只会是资源的浪费。

可悲的是，这些错配的标准偏偏成了当下最常见的做法。它们与“优秀游戏”的基本内核背道而驰，也逼得开发者在研发上“挖空心思”削减成本，因为项目的其他方面要花更多经费去“包装”。因此我们看到，如今的链游还在“吃”五年甚至十年前Web2游戏的“残羹剩饭”，这是各方共同作用的结果。

很多玩家只关注经济模型，奉行“链游不看玩法，只看经济”的理念。可20年前《魔兽世界》上线时，就已经给“开放经济系统”做出了优秀示范：要想长期运行，必须保证稳定的用户量，有人进有人出，而不是靠“挖、提、卖”来循环吸血。我并不认为那种模式能不停地吸引新用户加入。

那到底该用什么标准来衡量Web3游戏？ 说实话，我也还在思考。但如果换作一个普通玩家的角度，我至少希望见到以下几点：

1. 游戏本身要好玩
因为单纯靠短期收益吸引来的用户流失得也最快，需要更多理由让玩家心甘情愿地进入游戏世界。

2. 路线图清晰，并能持续迭代开发
因为我相信任何产品都不是天生完美的，只有不断开发、迭代才能逐渐向好。

3. 公开透明，定期发布开发动态
因为我一旦持有游戏资产，就不想每天都生活在疑惑和不确定的担忧里。

4. 不要过度承诺
因为保证能赚多少倍的口吻，短期也许能带来FOMO，但最终一定会有人“站岗”。而我作为一名普通玩家，并不觉得自己能比别人更早获得内幕消息。

5. 保持开放沟通
因为我希望作为玩家或投资人，能在需要时找到开发者，并且我的问题或建议能被倾听与反馈。

也正因为我们自己也渴望出现这样的项目，所以在 @playrunehero 的开发和运营上，我们一直努力践行这些理念：
1. 从最初只有一个角色，到如今第三个角色即将上线；从最初只能玩单人副本，到现在竞技场也即将开放——我们持续扩充玩法，不断拓宽游戏的边界。

2. 三个月前，我们发布了项目路线图，与社区同步未来的开发计划：25年Q1会上线PVP系统、交易行、新角色（巫医）以及首次CBT；25年Q2会上线公会系统、团队副本和经济系统测试。目前一切都在稳步推进。

3. 即使暂时没有测试活动，我们也会定期发布Monthly Update，向社区报告每个月的开发进展。

4. 我们从未宣称“能赚多少倍”，而是通过持续Build为产品赋能。如果在市场低迷时出现价格过度下跌，我们也会用实际资金进行维护，尽最大努力降低用户损失。

5. 无论何时何地，只要有人对项目有建议或想法，都可以随时找到我们。我们会用心倾听，并认真对待每一条反馈。

我不知道这样的方式是否真正有效，也可能这并不是大多数Web3玩家所追求的东西。 但我始终相信，如果连我们自己都不认可、不喜欢所做的游戏，又如何能奢望别人会喜欢并认可呢？

A game survives — whether Web2 or Web3 — only if players are willing to spend.

And that only happens when there’s a real reason:
fun gameplay, great design, meaningful progression… something that truly clicks.

We’re focused on building that with #RuneHero.

Web3 gaming isn’t dead.
it just took a short break. — and it will keeps moving forward.

[RuneHero @playrunehero]

We’ve been listening.

After Season 0, we made a series of improvements based on player feedback.

This is a new match from @Lgc_GG , featuring
@Ambrosia0x on Mage 🔥

RuneHero is all about immersive, high-stakes combat.
Not just damage — but builds, positioning, and survival.

In this fight, many players chased damage…
and paid the price.
💀 In RuneHero, survivability matters.

👉 How many kills did @Ambrosia0x get?

[TZ | RuneHero @tz529]

This is probably the hardest version we’ve ever built for #RuneHero.

Not the most ambitious.
Not the most content-heavy.
But definitely the most painful one.

Over the past 3 years, we’ve faced all kinds of challenges —design, tech, product, even business direction.

But none of them felt like this.

The first problem: Cheating.
In previous tests, we tried multiple solutions.
And every time, someone still found a way to break the system.

Not just small exploits —
but things that completely destroyed fairness.

And in a game where players invest time, effort, even money…
once fairness is gone, everything collapses.
So we made a decision:

We stop patching.
We rebuild from the ground up.
We spent 4.5 months rewriting the core architecture
just to eliminate the possibility of cheating.

Not reduce it.
Not manage it.
Eliminate it.

The second problem: The market.
While we were rebuilding,
the market changed — fast.
GameFi cooled down.
Narratives shifted.
Liquidity disappeared.

Projects shut down.
Teams pivoted to Web2.
Some of our old partners simply left.
At some point, we had to admit:

We probably missed the best timing.
And that’s when things got real.

Because now the question is no longer:
“Can we ride the trend?”

It becomes:
“Are we still willing to build when the trend is gone?”

We went through that phase —anxiety, doubt, hesitation.
But eventually, we came to a simple conclusion:
We don’t control the market.
We don’t control narratives.

We only control what we build.
So CBT2 is not just another test.
It’s the result of:

choosing fairness over shortcuts
choosing long-term over hype
choosing to keep building when others stop

We don’t know if this is the “right” choice.
Maybe the market doesn’t care.
Maybe players don’t come back.

But one thing we’re sure of:
If we don’t even believe in what we’re building,
then no one else will.

CBT2 is coming.

And this time,
we’re not here to chase the market.
We’re here to prove something.

Join us, Heroes!
