Topic: Risk to earn
New “Risk to Earn” mini-game seems like a lottery/bets. Will this conflict with laws about bets in some countries? Where will it be included?

Topic: Vertical Slice playtest
Will suit and drone blueprints be used somehow in Vertical Slice playtest? And in general, are there any plans to use them in MMO?
Topic: Upcoming changes to Arena and rewards
What was the purpose of IPL prize pool 250k$? Is the purpose achieved? 250k$ is a huge amount of money, so spending it on prizes when the DAO needs financing so much should have a very precise and useful purpose i suppose.

What is illuviums marketing budget and what are we doing for marketing and would it be possible to open source any of the programming kinda like wow addons ?

Topic: Arena & Competitive
What can we expect for the next IPL season? All 2026’s competitions are going to be in leviathan mode? We’re going to se a rotation on illuvials? New ones or changes into the current that already exist?

Topic: Staking

Before the V3 staking was announced, I restaked all my ILV funds in V2 for 12 months to maximise rewards and to show commitment.
Because of this, I would miss out on rewards during the most important period of V3 staking, and on top of that my OG boost would effectively go to waste.

Can the team think of a solution for players in this situation .. by ensuring locked V2 stakes are included in the V3 reward programme?
It feels unfair for long-term supporters who voluntarily restaked to be excluded from the key phase of V3.

Topic: Arena

I think the Arena has met a lot of its conditions to be a great game, but not many to reach its full potential.

What does the timeline look like for Set 1b and Mobile release?

Topic: Overworld MMO

Are the first set of illuvials, colour, holo or dark holo will be capped in total supply after releasing new set of illuvials? If the first set of illuvials total supply will be capped, what is the plan timeline of releasing new set of illuvials is it going to be yearly?

Upcoming changes to Arena and rewards

Set 1 will be uncatchable and burning mechanics will decrease the supply that's already low.
Do you have a plan to prevent the supply from limiting the number of future leviathan arena players?

Will we have a mix of set 1 and future sets in the pool even when we are in set 3? Do you still intend to release the same set 1 illuvials with different affinities?

I hear other players complaining about Illuvium Zero load times when changing plots and mega city's taking long time to load. Can you guys look into this

Topic: (2025 Review)

Question: how is Aaron doing and what is he working on now that the Arena team is down to a skeleton crew?

When is the migration to zkEVM planned, and how will it look like for current users.

  • Will everything be migrated automatic, including passport balance in ETH, Fuel, etc.
  • Are there any improvements to the IluviDex planned as part of the migration or will those come later.
  • Can we expect so see some "Performance improvements" (example. currently there can be an issue for people that have a large inventory of Illuvials, that impact the gameplay in OW)

Topic: Illuvium Zero

  • Can we expect more features in land gameplay, like get xp for illuvials, other kind of drop or new interactions with the upcoming MMO?

What were the explicit goals and KPIs for IPL season 1, and were they achieved? If not, what changes are being made before IPL season 2?

#

What is the primary monetisation loop Illuvium will rely on in 2026 to generate consistent revenue?

#

The real question everyone wants to know!

Once the mmo comes out will we still be able to travel via bubbles in brightland steppes?

__Topic: __MMO Economy
• What concrete revenue sources will be implemented for the MMO, beyond the 3% transaction fees, to ensure profitability?

Topic: MMO Revenue Model
• Can you share numerical projections for these revenue sources and explain how they will cover costs and support the growth of the Illuvium universe?

➠Illuvium cannot afford mistakes with the MMO economy — it must be fully committed to a AAA-quality, sustainable model, as relying on transaction fees alone is a gamble the game cannot take.

TOPIC : overworld mmo
Q. How will the mmo make profit exactly? Will there be web2 options to help onboard new players?
(Expanded)
Considering that the game has very few players and mmo’s require a large player base to succeed, how will web2 players be encouraged to play, have fun, and hopefully spend? With how relatively small the web3 community is, it may not be viable to avoid the vast majority of gamers (and whales) who don’t use crypto at all. Especially considering the concept currently being just mmo, it seems unlikely to appeal to the masses. I believe that this can be worked out, but I want to bring up these questions to encourage the team to think of the player base and sustainability.

TOPIC : Christmas sale
Q: Why would the Christmas sale help, considering a lack of trust in the community and a very small amount of buyers in total?
(Expanded)
The game doesn’t have many players, and the players who buy seem to buy big. The bigger issue is that there are very few reasons for people who haven’t spent money to spend money on fuel at all, and even with a Christmas sale, most of the purchases are out of dolphins and fish’s’ range. Unless the Christmas sale is 80% or more (which is not a great idea, considering the fuel disaster a while back), I can’t see it helping the state of the game in meaningful ways.

Reards topic: Will raffle and gauntlet leaderboardd rewards stay same or will they be changed a bit or maybe some new form of rewards be implemented?

Topic: Year In Review, Illuvium Pro League

  1. Did the IPL move the needle enough in the eyes of playerbase, marketing, and investors?
    b. If it didn't perform to their expectations, is there a chance it can still come back but with a smaller prize pool budget? Or was it too damaging?

  2. There were supposed to be 4 spots in the World Finals for "Wildcards" streamers and pro players from other esports and games to have a shot at competing in the finals with the intent of introducing Illuvium to their audience. However, we didn't have any Wildcards. Bit of a missed opportunity. What happened?

  3. Does Illuvium have any plans for esports for 2026? Doesn't have to be Arena related.

Topic: Vertical Slice playtest

Will Illuvial ownership be important in the MMO as it is now in Ranked Arena games?

jovial rampart
#

Topic: Shards

  • Can we learn the use of them yet? Illuvium has been great with transparency over the years so it feels weird that this is still an unknown especially since there is investing involved.

Topic: Illuvium Zero

  • It's be teased for a bit, but is there an ETA on Training Gyms being added to the game?
  • How are Training Gyms going to work? Is there a Limit per plot? Building Size? Require Fuel (Crypton, Solon, Hyperion) to Run? Etc.
  • Other than the Training Gyms, are there any other buildings or systems for Illuvium Zero coming in 2026 that'll add more utility and value to our land plots?

Topic: Illuvials Set 1B

  • When can we expect to see these Illuvials released?
  • When released, will it be in Overworld or in the MMO?
  • When released, will their biodata be scannable in Illuvium Zero with Blueprints available to research?

Topic: Illuvials

Set 1 is now probably closer to the end than the beginning, yet there are still illuvials that don't even exist in dark holo. Is the team happy with this level of rarity? Are there any plans to increase dark holo chances/adjust fusion prices to ensure that we have at least a few dark holos from each illuvial?

Maybe a "magic" weekend or week during the Christmas period when DH chances temporarily double?

If there is an extended bear market 1-2 years, what levers will Illuvium pull to persevere?

# young junco actual long-term supporters locked their stakes years ago so they were all unloc...

I’ve only seen responses from community members like yourself. What I’m looking for is an official explanation as to why users on their second or third 12-month lock are excluded from shard rewards. So far, there’s been no clear answer, which is why I raised this in the AMA.
I mean if this is all normal, what’s stopping the team from creating a V4 staking model and ignoring all existing V3 stakes?

And yes, something can be done. I’m not asking for early unlocking.. I’m simply asking for inclusion in shard rewards. They see the contracts.. Excluding long-term stakersin the first place doesn’t make sense. Does it?
