Summary
In a difficult context, marked by turbulence and doubts, the price of the token $CTA is suffering a significant decline, to the lowest level it has ever known. Division is spreading through the ranks, and in some cases, it is even despair that is undermining the community.
Whose fault is it? You might think… Well, there are several factors that explain this.
However, the Cross The Ages team does not give up, and as one man fights, redoubles its efforts, and stands as a model of resilience. The AMA of November 4, 2024 between the Cross The Ages team and its community helped to defuse fears somewhat and reassure players.
During this AMA, the team revealed the strategic decisions that were made in the short term, but also in the long term. Without detour, all the subjects were addressed and even the most problematic ones. We were able to find a team driven by an unwavering will, determined to answer as many questions as possible.
Cross The Ages is not a simple financial speculation adventure. It is a complex and multiple project, with an innovative and bold gaming vision. It is a rich intellectual and graphic property, which takes time to create. A collective of Authors who write 7 Volumes of an incredible adventure between science fiction and Fantasy. Since the first day, the CEO and initiator of the project Sami Chlagou announces a Saga over at least 10 years. The TCG is the introduction that allows the exploration of this very rich Lore.
The entire Cross The Ages team is working tirelessly to provide a solid future for this adventure. Prestigious collaborations such as Ubisoft with Watchdogs, Square Enix, Sandbox, or the many renowned artists and writers associated with the project all testify to the power and potential of Cross The Ages. A universe designed to last through the ages that is not done in a hurry.
They say that it is in the most difficult times that we recognize the most valiant people. Today, more than ever, in these difficult times for all, we must remain united, united around the vision of Cross The Ages.
The deep values of this project, dear to our hearts, are intact, and require support and attention. We must keep the flame alive and believe in this team, which works day after day, tirelessly, to provide the deserved success to this project.
Besides, there are many proverbs that sum up the situation very well, here are two:
"Without mistakes and failures, there is no Success." - Bob Proctor
"Success is not final, and failure is not fatal... It is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill
You said Frenchy channel!
The possibility of reopening the French channel on Discord and Telegram is being considered to strengthen ties with the French community. This sharing space, long appreciated, had unfortunately become a place of stress for the team and this led to its closure.
Unfortunately, this then led to a loss of communication and mutual trust between the team and its community. This reopening would be a way to regain the spirit of mutual aid and support of the beginning, if everyone does their part.
It would be a kind of return home, to share moments of joy together and celebrate the goals achieved. For this, it would be necessary to establish a framework, a regulation and limits not to be crossed for everyone.
Don't panic, it's for better crafting!
The update to the crafting system is slow to arrive, and is arousing impatience among players who only want one thing: craft, craft, craft... Although the wait is unpleasant, this delay is necessary to guarantee optimal quality.
This decision comes after all the issues encountered in the past. From now on, CTA prefers not to rush into delivering a lower quality product, for a better user experience. This choice proves the team's commitment to providing a truly immersive and rewarding crafting mechanic.
Focus, focus, focus!
The main axes, which Cross The Ages is making its priority for the moment, are:
Production and product development.
Retention of loyal players.
The acquisition of new players.
As part of a long-term vision, CTA's priorities and strategy must be clear and well-defined to consolidate the ecosystem. This ambitious plan wants each player, old and new, to find their place and get involved in this universe with limitless potential.
Special Rare cards, rarer than gems!
In the next two seasons 4 and 5, players and collectors will have the pleasant surprise of seeing the fusion of the 13 alternative SR cards continue, as for seasons 1, 2, and 3.
This will allow them to obtain two more special Rare multi-combo cards (such as Arkhel, Riona, and the Rift combo). These high-value cards will make the adventure even more interesting.
Regarding SR39, (fusion of Arkhel, Riona and the Rift combo), it will be possible to obtain it from season 4.
Arise beta, better late than done badly!
Originally scheduled for December 2024, the Arise beta will finally start Q1 - 2025, a postponement for a version that will be more optimized and stable.
By leveraging the lessons learned with the TCG, Cross The Ages aims to deliver a seamless and memorable gaming experience. This rigor is part of an improvement process and shows that Cross The Ages is doing everything it can to avoid the mistakes of the past.
Which Blockchain for Migration? One Step at a Time to Keep Balance!
In less than a month, the team will unveil the Blockchain to which CTA will migrate. No date has been set yet, but the choice is expected to be strategic to ensure sustainability and interoperability. The integration of Web3 technologies is at the heart of what motivates this decision. This underlines Cross The Ages' desire to establish a solid partnership for the future.
Key Moments and Directions for the Future
The program VIP 8 begins the November 13, (details and benefits will be provided to you in due course).
THE physical cards will be available after the migration to the new Blockchain, (Date to be communicated later).
An AMA will be organized every month, to keep the community informed of the various advances.
The Exit of the Volume 2 is scheduled for the Q1/Q2 - 2025
The creation of the central bank has been postponed to a later date for priority management, the launch of Arise and some Lands is more important at the moment.
A necessary unlocking to ease the pressure on the $CTA Token!
To deal with excessive selling pressure, Cross The Ages has decided to release tokens from players and investors over a short period of three months. The maneuver began on November 6 and will end on March 15. These next few months promise to be hectic but necessary to build for the long term.
This decision is the result of a collaboration with Xborg (Swissborg partner), and aims to consolidate the trust and the future of the project.
The team does not hesitate to take the necessary measures when it considers it necessary. Avoiding sales pressure will allow Cross The Ages to build the sequel more serenely, going faster and further.
Cross The Ages tests the faith of its community and investors
This AMA is an opportunity to reconnect with the fundamentals of the project and to put things back on an even keel for everyone.
Cross The Ages is much more than a TCG, an RPG, or a speculative-based Web3 adventure.
Nor is it storytelling intended solely to convince. Cross The Ages is a dream come true, a shared vision, a human adventure full of resilience, wonderfully supported by a team keene And determined to leave a lasting impression throughout the ages.
Despite the storms, Sami and his team continue their battle with total commitment. The creative stages continue, and prestigious partners continue to support the project. Various collaborations are underway, and talented artists bring inestimable richness to the Cross The Ages universe.
We all joined this adventure for a common goal: to build together a world where gaming, art and community meet.
Today, it is essential to refocus on this vision, to remember the passion that brought us all together, to support this team that never stops fighting to offer us the best, and to rediscover together the reason why we chose CTA.
