Splinterlands KPIs - 12/8/2024

Another week, another edition of the "Splinterlands KPIs" series, where I track several metrics I find important on a weekly basis to see how our beloved game & economy are developing.

For most KPIs, I put a quick visual indicator as follows:
🟢 Good progress
🔴 Bad progress
🟡 Middling

When deltas are shown, they indicate the week-over-week progress.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that I am not affiliated to the Splinterlands company, so these are just my own opinions on KPIs I feel are important and based on data I can find publicly.

GAME ECONOMY

SPS

DEC & Market Activity

On the bright side, SPS briefly hit 1.1 cents for the first time since June as of the time I'm writing this. On the not-so-bright side it may be temporary due to a $HIVE pump and also we're continuing to shed lower in the CMC ranks as other cryptos are surpassing SPS in market cap.

SPS burns increased a bit which is nice and DEC burns remained fairly stable.

A very good note is the market activity which continues to pick up and hit >$11k daily, the best we've done since mid-September, likely due to continued interest and preparations for Survival mode.

COMPANY SALES

Despite slightly increasing in velocity, Rebellion pack sales are still only creeping forward and at this point it looks unlikely we'll hit 1 million, though there could of course be a last minute rush.

Promo sales picked up very nicely with the new set of promo cards getting immediate interest as they are seen to be stronger than the last set. Meanwhile Heloise sales keep on chugging along with each RF selling for ~1.3M DEC.

GAME ACTIVITY

Well, it looks like last week was an anomaly, as DAAs shot back to <7k.

NEW PLAYERS

Huh, well that's nice to see. Despite account signups going down a bit, Spellbook purchases continue to creep up, averaging 4/day for the first week since I've started recording these numbers. Again I'm cautiously optimistic here, but it's good to see the slow uptrend continue.

COMMUNITY

These two metrics continued going down. Clearly they're not the best metrics for measuring community, but I don't have access to other things like engagement data, so it's the best I can come up with.

• Metrics obtained directly from Discord and Twitter
