At the time of writing, Upland is the top Blockchain game according to the DappRadar site's 7-day user volume data. It is ranked number 5 when the 30-day user volume data is compared. The thing to take note of is that this is a game that's in open beta release. There's still plenty of room to grow.
Do you want to be a part of this growth? I have and if you've read my earlier article and have decided you want a piece of the early action, a congratulation is in order. One thing is for sure, you will be embarking on an exciting Upland Game journey. In no time, you’ll be a part of the thriving Upland community and get to meet the many fun and wonderful Upland Citizens.
This guide is to help you walk through the simple and short process of signing up. For an easy walkthrough, click here to get to the sign-up page. It'll open up a new tab so that you can be guided through from here.
Once you have done that and are at the Upland game page, you’ll see a screen similar to the image below.
The first thing that you need to do is click on the GUEST icon located in the upper left corner of the screen.
You’ll arrive at the LOGIN page. Click on the DON’T HAVE AN ACCOUNT? SIGN UP link at the bottom of the screen.
You’re now at the SIGN-UP page. Before you proceed further, I have a word of advice - think of a very good USERNAME. Believe me, you’ll regret it if you don’t give it much thought. This game will grow on you and you'd want a memorable Username for the game. This will be your 'branding' in the Upland Metaverse and your username will be uniquely you & yours. As this game is built on the back of the EOS Blockchain, and anything written on the blockchain is unchangeable, this means for better or worse, you are stuck with whatever username you register with. You'll not be able to change it later.
Now, complete all 3 fields (Username, Email Address & Password) and click the green SIGN UP button. Please keep your password in a safe place.
Each player starts with a Block Explorer (BE). You can see two such in the first image above. Once you zoomed into the map, you'll see many more Block Explorers on the map. Your Block Explorer represents your Upland presence. Your BE will randomly travel through the city you start in. The Genesis city for this game is San Francisco but new players joining now will start in Fresno. Fret not, you'll be able to travel to San Francisco by train. Yes, much like Monopoly, there are train stations and you can travel between cities.
Once you’ve picked your BE of choice and the background color, your adventures in the Upland Metaverse begin. Welcome to the exciting world of the Upland Metaverse.
See? The sign-up process is simple and short. In my book, this is a big plus to gain traction with gamers. It should be a pain-free signup process.
That’s it. This is the end of the sign-up guide. What to do after signing up? Good question. For that, you’ll need to check out the next short guide that will be coming out soon. Stay tuned.
