The Machines Arena launches with a Play 2 Airdrop Event $TMA
The Machines Arena (TMA) has announced the start of their Play 2 Airdrop. It’s an 8-week event offering players the chance to earn points and secure their native $TMA tokens. The Play 2 Airdrop event is now live, inviting players to accumulate points that determine their rank on the P2A Leaderboard, directly influencing the amount of $TMA tokens they will receive during the upcoming Token Generation Event.
“Personally, I view this as reaching the best of both worlds, adding the incentives that W3 gaming has to offer to a game that is already proven as a team-based PVP multiplayer in a competitive sense makes this the gaming experience I have been looking for. We have been working closely with the community to bring in the features that players want.” – Kristján Einar Kristjánsson, Marketing Director at Directive Games.
How Play 2 Airdrop Works
Play 2 Airdrop is a gamified rewards system where players earn points through a range of activities:
- Playing Matches: Earning points by participating in PVP and PVE game modes.
- Completing Quests: Engaging in various quests in-game and outside of the game for additional points.
- Owning and Holding In-Game Assets: Minting assets like skins and familiars grants significant point bonuses. More trades in the market mean higher points for each minted asset.
- Joining VIP: Purchasing a VIP membership to access exclusive point sources and enhance a users’ leaderboard ranking. VIP members can double the points earned by themselves and their sponsors.
- Teams Activities: Creating Teams to climb the P2A leaderboard with, and collaborating with team members to boost individual and team scores.
