As an old user from hive and steemit and a splinterlands steemmonsters user from prefork, I agree splinterlands needs to promote hive more we have enough real players to support this.
At the same time Hive after its fork has not promoted heavily as well and needs to do so to grow the community otherwise why did we leave back in the day we could have just stayed with Justin Sun, who now owns bittorrent BTT Steemit Tron and a few other major crypto assets including ETH to name a few. This could be argued as a failed civil war fork.
As others have pointed out we need more ramps to the hive ecosystem not the islands of games as people pointed out many in Splinterlands may well be unaware there is more out there in hive. Easy enough to add to a tutorial that leads to the splinterlands hive page rip splintertalk then people will discover a far larger platform and ecosystem exist's here too.
With regards to this proposal the Team could give something to the Hive Dao as well it's a win win promotion to build the chain and the game so it makes sense to me that as other Hive users mentioned Splinterlands needs to vote and engage here as well as one of the larger communities not just hivers.
Game wise daily quests is what grew splinterlands the game should go back to basics it worked tweaking it over the years without addressing bots as a part of how we got here and leaving steemit for hive and avoiding Justin Sun tron bittorrent and steemits monopoly is part of the heritage we share on the hive blockchain.
Fun times are ahead if we can build better bridges now if Splinterlands leaves the chain I'll be the ass that says lets just go back to STEEMIT and the Almighty Justin SUN! (Raises a pitchfork of time)
