Among enthusiasts of cryptocurrencies, NFT tokens, and blockchain-based games, there is an awareness of people referred to as a "Whale".
This is a person with a very abundant wallet who is able to redeem significant in-game resources.
For example, in the Arrland Metaverse, such resources include Pirates, Lands, Ships, Items, $RUM token, $ARRC token and other items stored in the database.
The accumulation of a large amount of wealth in the hands of a single player, often poses a problem, as they are able to shake up the entire Metaverse economy with their decisions, upset delicate economic mechanisms, shape the prices of goods, and overuse the goods that the game distributes to its players.
In order to counteract the excessive accumulation of goods in the hand of one player, a number of features have been introduced in Arrland Metaverse, aimed at preventing such situations and promoting players who have fewer pirates.
An example of such measure is the asymmetrical distribution of $RUM tokens from the Pirate King Treasury, between pirate owners and pirates who participate in battle arenas. You can read more about this in section:
As for the economic part of the game, which is performed on private islands, a pirate who has been assigned to automatically perform a given task, performs it twice as long as a pirate who is actively controlled by the player. In order for this restriction not to be imposed, the player must perform the assigned mini-game with the chosen pirate. You can read more about this in section V.3 Resource acquisition.
The game also promotes the appropriate selection of pirates for the activities performed. By assigning resources randomly, the maximum potential profit will not be achieved. In order to obtain it, it is also necessary to review your items from time to time and make repairs if necessary. This is described in section:
The strategic layer also favors players who actively control the actions of their ships. Due to changing economic conditions, it may happen that once profitable trade route has become unprofitable. It is also possible that due to a random event a ship carrying goods has been immobilized in a port and cannot perform its activities as usual.
