Welcome to a groundbreaking phase in the realm of Axie Infinity! July 17, 2024, marks the debut of an enthralling new feature that is poised to revolutionize the way we play and interact within the vibrant universe of Lunacia - the Homeland Avatar Mode. Picture this: embarking on an adventure across the expansive digital landscape, but with a twist - this time, using your very own NFT axie as a personal avatar.
Avatar Mode is not just a game-changer; it's a whole new way to experience Lunacia. With the freedom to traverse the Homeland map at will, players can visit plots and engage with fellow Lunacians in a real and immediate way. This novel feature is designed to weave a richer social fabric within the game, enhancing community engagement and breathing new life into the social interactions through innovative chat functionalities that span general, local, and global channels.
Key Features of Avatar Mode
So, what exactly sets Avatar Mode apart? At its heart, this mode is about bringing players closer together, creating a shared experience that goes beyond the game itself. You can wander through diverse landscapes, visit each of the four uniquely themed villages - Goldenwind, Evergreen, Winterblue, and Hazymoon - and partake in real-time socialization. Emojis and chat features add a personal touch to every interaction.
To streamline your explorations, portals are strategically placed throughout Homeland, offering a fast and efficient means to travel. This feature promises to make your journey across Lunacia not just about the destination, but about the joy of discovery.
