Tibia, one of the oldest MMORPGs in the world, will allow players to trade in-game gold for crypto

CipSoft, the developer of the classic MMORPG Tibia, has announced an upcoming feature that introduces Tibia Tokens (TIB), a new digital token for trading in-game currency. Tibia, launched in 1997, is one of the longest-running online multiplayer games.

Tibia Tokens (TIB) can be obtained by converting Tibia Coins, an in-game currency, through the Tibia Token Exchange. Built on the BNB Smart Chain and following the ERC20 standard, Tibia Tokens are compatible with many digital wallets, like MetaMask and applications. This feature opens up a unique opportunity for Tibia players to engage with blockchain technology, blending the lines between virtual and real-world economies.

While Tibia may not have the massive player count of games like World of Warcraft, it has maintained a dedicated player base with around 10,000 to 20,000 daily active players. Therefore, this might indicate an important step for the gaming and cryptocurrency industries, showing the potential of game economies to integrate with digital asset platforms.
