Griff is out touching grass so you’ve got the short king this week as I’ve come up for air from the Stardew trenches [read:mines] but this is supposed to be about web3 gaming right!? Wrong.
I’m feeling real nostalgic this week with MMORPG Ragnarok: Monster World NFTs the most traded on Ronin Market. Spent countless hours playing Ragnarok Online growing up as many kababayans do and even got some flack when I told my World of World guildies that my first MMORPG looked like something seen on Cartoon Network. For the uneducated I’ll pop a video in the Bonus loot section.
