, has been working with channel followers to build the neighborhood in Queens and make it their own. Now about 30% built, as a community, they have pulled their spark and UPX to develop the node and incentivise building participation.
Interestingly, players from specific nationalities have created “expat” communities in the Upland metaverse. Whether it’s the Canadian Uplanders’ Group node in Maple Park, Kansas City, Japan Town in Bucktown Chicago, or the Israel “Kibbutz” in Granada Hills, LA. Upland players enthusiastically connect with their real life fellow-nationals in the virtual world. Take Fresh Meadows, Queens as an example.
Some communities are forming around specific interests, rather than geographies. The Upland Racing League is a community built around cars and racing in Upland. The founders DAK & MASSCHEF organized seasons of racing throughout Upland with Race Commissioners – players who are putting together Teams; Planners – players who are designing the different racetracks; and Drivers who race.
Other nodes are organically joining forces with this initiative. Boystown node in Chicago for example, is louding the development of their neighborhood’s Circuit Race Track “sanctioned by URL”. This is a good example of Balaji Srinivasan’s description of Web3 community vs Web2 communities. Balaji’s notion being that in web3 “we are all in this together” while web2 games are a one-way player interaction with project operators.

Winners of the 2021 Halloween decoration challenge, the node takes pride in their community activities. Russellenvy, the newly elected first mayor of the Portage Park node in Upland’s Chicago described some of the community plans they are pursuing: “We are attracting more Metaventures to Portage Park; Block explorer shops, NFLPA legit shops, outdoor decor and more.
