Free-to-Play Frontier — a player’s update and why you should try it

I’m just a player in the Splinterlands community — not a developer — but I wanted to share a clear, simple update because this matters for everyone jumping in.

The Splinterlands team recently launched a Free-to-Play Frontier mode and the early results are impressive. Here’s what was announced (plain and simple):

●It’s totally free to play. No upfront cost to start.

●You can win cards by playing. Progress and rewards come from gameplay.

●No staking or crypto knowledge needed. You don’t need experience with tokens or wallets to get started.

●New raffles with special cards are being run for players.

What the team handled behind the scenes (so the experience stays smooth):

●They fixed several exploits quickly — the team acted fast (under two weeks).

●They built monitoring tools to measure and watch new player activity.

●They managed liquidity and set up a scalable system so the game can grow.

●Importantly: they say this was done without lowering rewards in the Premium version of the game.

Result: in less than two weeks, Frontier has more accounts playing than all other modes combined.

Why this matters for players

●Lower barrier to entry — anyone can try the game and earn by playing.

●If you’ve been curious but worried about crypto or staking — this is an easy way to start.

●More players = a healthier community and more activity for everyone.

How I’m planning to use Frontier (and ideas if you want to join)

●Try a few daily matches to earn cards and learn the battle flow.

●Keep an eye on community raffles — special cards may appear.
