Oncology 19 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hey All, This will be a cumulative list of ideas over the next few days and I will update it as I think of more just to prevent myself from creating 18 separate threads. - Remove the 100m a day daily GP giveaway. I know the idea of this is to reward the players who are playing, possibly entice them to stay, and try to bring new players to the server. I feel like this can be achieved better by buffing the voting reward system, offering sales and discounts on select things in the donation store, adding other things to enhance the actual game play like selling perks that will make the game easier. For example offer a perk for fishing that will require no bait while fishing anywhere on Ely. Giving 100m GP a day for the 100 days will create a large wealth gap between the old players who choose to stay and the new players who come onto the server especially if they come after the 100 day period. Maybe trying to promote events on the game itself to play some of the minigames or have boss masses. 10 Billion GP introduced into the server is a lot and if one person wins 10 times in 100 days they have just gotten 1b GP which can lead to an extreme wealth diversity issue. - To tie into my idea above release a calendar with weekly staff/certain member hosted events. The events can be anything that will bring people together to try and play some of the content that is tougher because of the fact we are a small server. For example castle wars, pest control and the other minigames/bosses. - Rotating vote shop rewards and sale items in the donor store. Rotating the items keeps fresh items in the store which will hopefully boost votes/donations to be able to get these desired items. - I have always been a huge fan of a perk related donation system that complements certain tiered donor zones. So for example there can be the current zone for the Guthix donators, a second zone for the Bandos donators, and a third zone for the ancient donors. The difference in zones is something that can be explored and discussed further if that is something that is worth exploring. The idea of different tiered donor zones would be for people to actually gain something besides wealth from items as they continue to donate. Each zone offers more content and bonuses which will help them as they progress through Ely. Ideas for some of the nicer content could be instanced bosses for Ancient Donors and for the Bandos Donors maybe a mineable ore that gives any type of ore obtainable in Ely. - As for the perks I suggested above a perk for fishing that would no longer require bait to fish anything in Ely. So that would mean you do not need bait to fish rocktail. This would add a variety of game enhancing content available to people and they would be able to buy bonuses if that is something they would wish to keep. There could also be a perk that will allow you to change your slayer task freely without having to spend points. There could also be something for degradable gear where if you buy the perk it degrades at 50% the usual rate which allows the gear to last longer before you have to repair it. These slight buffs allow people to pick and choose bonuses for their account depending on their play style. With this idea in mind I wouldn't suggest removing the current system but maybe changing what the emphasis is on. This is it for now, I will continue to update the thread with ideas as I think of them. As always any ideas or comments is greatly appreciated!

Jordan 159 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 1) The money thats being given away was already in the eco and was being held by some loser, so this isnt going to ruin the eco in my opinion. I like thats its being given away daily to different people now, as money isnt the easiest to come by for newer players. its being spread over 100 days so im sure if someone was to win a few times they had already spent the 100m that they won a week or what ever before. Dont support 2) Agree would be cool to see more events! ( Maxed clan should be doing more stuff :D ) Support 3) I like it however probably only on some items since voting/collecting the tickets for certain items takes a while would suck to see something changed after 2-3 months collecting for it IDK 4)I actually really like the idea for these different rooms! would be something new to do and some good content. think it'll need some more suggestions on what would be in them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was being spawned just for the giveaway so that's my mistake. If that's the case then that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Kari 308 Posted March 26, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) 1) As stated by Jordan the gp was already in game. I won a huge pot gambling with Jordan and instead of hoarding it I decided to give back to the community over a 100 day period. Both to gain more players and to try to retain a player base. 2) I agree, but just so you know everyone is free to organize an event and post it in #events in discord/forums 3) I do like the idea of rotating donator/vote shop items. I'd still like to point out that we do have a summer shop that carries different items that you can purchase with donator points. 4) We do have a benefit system regarding donations that gives more benefits the more you donate, but I see your point. Multiple donator zones is something we've discussed on multiple occasions but have not yet come to a conclusion about. 5) We used to have an unlock system that allowed you to buy certain donator benefits with EP but we disbanded that and made it available for all donators $5+ It's definitely something that we can discuss though. Will edit later with more input, am at work Edited March 26, 2019 by Kari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
