From 9 activities · Jul 2026Pirate Nation was a browser-based, pirate-themed on-chain game with engaging gameplay and a dedicated community, but faced significant challenges including poor token economics, a collapsed economy, and ultimately shutdown of the original blockchain and game. The team raised $33 million and initially delivered a fun strategy card system with seamless transactions and generous airdrops, but later outsourced support to third-party email, cut features, and broke promises around mobile versions and future service development, leaving players frustrated with credit losses, glitches, and token deflation. They have since pivoted to rebuilding on Abstract blockchain with the same token.

日拱一卒王小楼 · 1480· 1y ago37“Started on a good foot, ended up falling flat on our heads”Pirate Nations was one of the most talked about web3 gaming projects since their crazy raise ($24M+)/ They had an evolving game which people participated in for many seasons and pvp events. Players even locked their earned tokens and Founder Pirates because they trusted Pirate Nations will fulfill all its promises. And then suddenly things started falling apart. Devs started blaming players for p2e failing, not acknowledging that maybe their own game was not as good as they have been promoting. Full of bugs, laggy, repetitive content. They kept baiting people to lock in their tokens and pirates for an ecosystem token. And probably provided a way for investors to dump that way. And now we come to know there is no such ecosystem token possible. We are being asked to burn our founder pirates which at the top were selling for thousands of dollars for now mere $50 worth of tokens. Game has been decommissioned and with it all our progress and items. And even for that they provided a tiny allocation of tokens. All the boasting that fully onchain games live forever was an obvious lie. One has to wonder why make a fully onchain game (with worse UX) when its fate is no better than a normal web3 game. The least they could do was provide proper compensation to their players and especially pirate holders. But instead they decided to pay them a petty allocation to get rid of their players completely. So no one call them a rug. Wouldn't participate in any new projects from Pirate nations now.

MR WAYNE · 1203· 1y ago10“Week economy”Pirate nations typically generate low tax revenue, have limited production capacity, and struggle to maintain large fleets or infrastructure, resulting in overall financial fragility.

Ayo Elixir · 1293· 1y ago8“Pirate Nation – A Fully Onchain Adventure That Raises the Bar for Web3 Gaming”Pirate Nation isn’t just another blockchain game — it’s a fully onchain RPG experience that blends rich storytelling, strategic gameplay, and real player ownership into one seamless world. Built by @ProofOfPlay, powered by @Arbitrum, and backed by @a16z, the project combines top-tier tech with deep game design. Players explore the high seas, hunt for treasure, and engage in unexpected events — all while their actions are recorded immutably onchain. What makes Pirate Nation stand out is how it truly embraces decentralization. Items, characters, and progress live fully onchain, which means players have permanent, provable ownership of what they earn and build. The art is charming, the mechanics are engaging, and the ecosystem is clearly designed with longevity in mind — a rare thing in Web3 gaming. Pirate Nation is setting a new gold standard for what onchain gaming can look like

Nova🤘🌪️ · 1317· 1y ago8“Decent Onchain Game”One of the few web 3 games that actually expanded and is playable. Been around for awhile and while not my exact cup of tea to play . . i do appreciate the way they built it out and have a decent game loop and strategy for those that enjoy that style of gaming.
