Yes!, Splinterlands Land is right now expected for a November 14th release just a day over a week from now. Of course that date is subject to change from the team and this is not an official announcement of it just from what I've heard on the town hall today.
It's honestly been over two years since land was released. I'm very happy I focused down myself two years ago and saved up to buy a tract of land. Sure, I couldn't do anything with it for years but it has earned me a fair share of SPS already I'd say closer to 100,000 SPS from it already and more to come as I do have a few occupied lands I can work for SPS.
What feels like a very stagnate two years for Splinterlands is now starting to heat up. Not only do we have a smarter and better planned out pack sale for rebellion but it also introduces cool new features into the game itself.
Liquidity Pools
On top of that we are getting land 1.5 and honestly 1.6 and so on should be rolled out pretty fast unless a major bug is found. That means lots and lots to be done with land.
On top of that there will be liquidity pools for over 50 items that pertain to land and have a 5% fee on them so those providing liquidity can most likely find a rather passiveish income source with land assets and DEC.
For myself I'm pretty low on DEC at the moment after dumping what I had into land start up perks and then the Rebellion presale.
These liquidity pools are also rumored at the moment to mine a separate resource themselves that can't be earned any other way as another little added incentive to provide liquidity.
Rebellion
Shortly after land 1.5 we are also going to get the normal sale of rebellion which also includes a massive new feature for airdrops on those cards by staking packs and or cards along with having to use some vouchers.
Overall there's a lot about to hit Splinterlands with tons of new features, things to do, investments to make and overall a wealth of activity and most likely solid profits to be generated. I honestly feel like Splinterlands is just about to jump on board to being a major bull run once again as a flurry of new features many of which were invested into years ago finally see the light of day.
The Game Plan
I now need to focus on un-renting all of my cards and focus on stacking DEC. That's primarily going to have to come from content generation as well as the DEC pools we currently have. That means a heavy push towards both HBD which is paying out a 20% APR which can be used to help fuel everything and also DEC liquidity pools to match. The idea here is to be able to generate enough resources that I just constantly keep entering into the liquidity pools and doing something like a 50/50 or 80/20 split where some of the extra resources will be sold.
