Previously, in Hive Gaming Community Contest #5 - My First Online Game, I submitted an entry, which according to the committee could not be included because the number of words in the post was too many. However, the post I sent was still curated at that time. This post contains the story of my first experience in playing an online game (android), which is a First Person Shooter (FPS) genre game, called World War Heroes (WWH). As a brief description, for those who don't know, WWH is a world war II themed game (Allied Block versus Axis Block/fascism), where each player can choose a specialization in the form of: assaulter; scouts; sniper; machine gunner; and medic. Each specialization has an impact on the advantages and proportions of the attack power of the weapon to be used, although many players also choose specializations and weapons that do not match each other. The main battle tools provided consist of six categories of weapons which are divided into several types.
Both weapons and specialties, can be increased in strength and ability through the exchange of credits and gold, which can be purchased at any time if you wish. Players can also choose a game mode, between team deathmatch, deathmatch, capture point, capture flag, defend base, and custom. One more thing, players can choose the clan that suits them, because by carrying the clan label that is at level 10, players are given an increase in ability and strength. In addition, playing with a team from a clan will increase your income. The highest level is 50, which can take up to months to reach.... I joined the official discord server by the game developer, and since its global release on November 22, 2017, the game has continued to evolve, with its 1.29ᵗʰ update soon. In the update, the developer gave some new touches which I think is pretty cool. Here's an explanation from the developer that was distributed on the official discord server, as follows—For information, all illustrations in this post are also taken from the same discord server.

Rise from the grave:
And, the last one is the appearance of zombie who will soon spread terror in this game. Many people know about the horrors that took place inside the walls of Nazi concentration camps, but very few of them realize how much hatred and anger is stored in these places. The man, whose name is lost among countless victims, was one of the few "lucky ones" who retained the remnants of his mind after inhuman experiments in a cold, dirty basement, which was called the Laboratory. With his last breath, he vowed not to forgive. The restless soldier came back from the dead with only one purpose—to take revenge. Nothing can stop him. He sneaks silently and kills his victims as savagely as he was killed. Fear him, hide, cry, but he will come for you. And the last thing you will see is the dead, frightening eyes of death itself.
Changed the rewards for the levels, where the player will receive unique WWH Veteran chests as a reward for already completed ones. The number of chests you get depends on your account level:

Player will find gold, as well as weapon and armor improvement points in the chests.
