[01/24/2025] - Splinterlands Update: $1 Packs, Conclave Arcana, and Player Psychology!

Key Points:

• Proposal Overview:
  A poll initiated by Claybo seeks community input on whether Conclave Arcana starter packs should remain at $5 for 25 cards or be restructured into smaller, more affordable options like $1 packs (5 cards) or $2 packs (10 cards).

• Player Benefits:

  • For New Players: A $1 price point provides a low-risk, affordable entry point, breaking down financial and psychological barriers.
  • For Veterans: Daily in-game earnings (e.g., SPS, DEC, vouchers) can be used to buy $1 packs, enabling consistent collection growth without waiting to accumulate larger amounts.

• Psychological Impact:
  $1 packs are more accessible and appealing, fostering better engagement for both new and experienced players.

• Market Alignment:
  Microtransactions thrive on affordability. Splitting starter packs into smaller units aligns with these trends while maintaining the same value ratio.

• Community Input:
  With less than 60M SPS votes cast so far, community members are encouraged to participate in the poll and voice their opinions.
