Gameshop ideas thread

[Kai]

I have absolutely no idea what these files can do in terms of items/buffs... Not my area of expertise, but I will look into it...

Added Horses, Tigers and Wolfs + there items to GS so far...

Sam

Would it be possible to add say one set to gameshop like change color of horse but keep exp? Or maybe tigers only? Or maybe one color of each mount?

Maybe if its only one type or color the rest could drop from mobs at a very low rate? Its a great item for people to play for that has low gameplay impact besides keeping people interested.

Pk point removal scroll: remove 100 pk points

rename scroll: players able to name their weapons and armours.

premium dungeon pass: acess to pd, slightly higher drop rate than other maps.

Weekly VIP system: VIP players able to get in to pd at anytime, 30% discount on pots, and 20% extra exp.

Repair scroll: special weapon repair requires a repair scroll.

Revival stone: Taos have to wear revival stone in order to resurrect someone.

Fishing system: players able to get any potash items from fishing in a very low chance.

Potcash caves: players able to get potash from game in a very low rate.

gold pick axe: slightly higher rate of getting plats and golds (random puri).

None of the above please except naming scroll and pick axe though the speed plus idea I liked more
because
PD means never leaving BW
VIP system just makes credit card warriors
Fishing for items you can just buy? Doesn't make sense.
No extra exp ever unless for under 40 which would help new players because players already out levelling content
No special repair ever because it makes items last too long
No shop items to be tradeable droppable
Guild war scroll needed as well as the fee ingame
SW scroll as above
Name change scroll very expensive new player name is different colour so ppl know and old name shows when View Char

i can only think of things i would not like to be put into the gameshop, no fun in having everything that can be bought for $/£.

Durability freezers - this would make stupid items last stupidly long if not forever.
Non Drop buffs - this would take away the fun in encountering someone in a dungeon and wondering if you have to be ready to fight/TT or you can carry on without that.
Exp Buffs - this would obviously be abused by people of the highest levels and then make the developer need to move his concentration onto more content sooner than wanted.
Items with stats - just wrong if you ask me.

Maybe good things to add;-
- bigger torch that lasts hours. torchs are a pain in the arse and i dont think it would change anything in the game except the need to spend g on them.

Nothing should be obtainable only from donating/gameshop unless you are going to add some form of getting gameshop points ingame without paying for them with real life currency.

We all know this is a bad thing as alot of people expect alot more from you when they are paying to play the game whether you say they should or not doesn't change it.

how about when you donate you get a random number of points fomr 1-500 and that can only be obtained once a week, no matter how much you donate? would remove the pay to win feel that something in the gameshop will undoubtedly add.

Was thinking of adding a Item/Chara Safety Deposit Box...

E.g. you wish you sell your chara or item... You but a box place it inside the box and set a 4 digit pin... You then trade the box with the item/chara, receive payment and then release the pin code...

Thoughts?

people would probably only use if it the gold game was redeemable.

 

[jamessss]

potcash.. £1 per 100

Sale of characters could have a £10 fee which goes to game fund. (1000pc)
Experience 20% £10 x two weeks (1000pc)
Added hp, mp, (+100) sc, dc , mc (+5 ) £10 x two weeks (1000pc)
luck + 2 no loss of items on death £10 x one week ( 1000pc)
Hardtorches ( 100 pc ) lasts six - seven hours

The box would have to be 'transparent' so people couldn't put random stuff in. Would the pin automatically show to the purchaser when they completed payment? If it wasn't automatic people could just withhold the pin and the purchaser is out whatever they paid.

Also character trading does have the downside that people don't have to play to level, consume items, etc. People playing new characters drive the economy and a persons interest in playing in general.

Brilliant idea, how long would that take to code though o.O

If your encouraging selling items/characters for RL cash GM's may aswell just sell items aswell atleast then the money will go towards keeping the server up ...

There's a massive difference in Gm's making items and characters as oppose to already made characters and ingame content. Some of the biggest mmorpgs out there use this method - so your totally wrong in mentioning this. If someone has an ingame character and decides to sell > sale should go through the storage box transaction with an additional fee of £10 to server. Win win situation for all imo

 

[Arch]

just charge a fee off £2.00 or 2 Euro which ever per 30 days as a administration fee. lets be honest thats nothing per month.

If ppl want to sell chars sell through the GM's so its recorded and accepted. NO come backs then.


Rent skill neckies and up the amount of skill points per spell lvl

Make a war happen every 30 days so that the holders of the wall have to pay to play or lose the wall.

DONT give game shop with anything that totaly outbalances the game.
If anything is available in the game shop then it should also be available in game via drops or quests.

I like the idea of custom skins and charge for the creation but then the coding may not be possible.

I think more info on what is and what is not possible for the future advancement of the game would help

Some Game Shop ideas (some/most of these have already been suggested, just reiterating them):

-Possibly teleport scrolls to caves (If this is implemented, it would need to be limited to places you can recall people to/Only entrances to caves).
-Gender/Hair style/colour changes (More hair styles/colours needed though i think).
-Global Shouts.
-More Mounts Skins.
-Infinite dura torch.
-Buy tamed pets (Just like you can buy Oma Warriors in WW, but nothing too op and you have to be right lvl to tame it). (Although pets most pets are useless, it's sometimes nice having them :/).
-etc

However, with each of these it would be best to limit each item (not including comsumables) to 7/14/30 days only.
Most games i've seen with game shops do this, and imho it keeps said game shop alive and doesn't completely alienate those not wanting to dish out their money.

if this is to combat the IRL money transactions ingame then i think you should announce some sort of punishment for doing it and not using this system.

Mir now offers in-app purchases?

You know what, **** it. Pay 200 quid for "GOD MODE"

GOD MODE lasts for 2 hours. It makes your character a combination of all classes. You can learn ANY spell. ALL your spells are LVL 3. You get +20 on all AC/AMC/DC/MC/SC stats. You get +8 attack speed and luck. Your running speed doubles, and you can run through literally anything.

All thats left is for you to f*ck **** up.

 

[terriblen]

Please
absolutely no selling trading of chars ever. It's to be discouraged. You get used to playing with someone who seems reliable then blam its a different scamming thief owner. Great for community
If you wanna play the game then play it. Give under 40's exp scrolls if u want but 40 doesn't take that long anyway.
Selling chars selling items for irl cash is a quick easy(fun) way to make some extra cash and that makes sense. Buying ingame stuff is disgusting.
IS it that difficult to check who's doing what when there aren't more than 300 players?
Needs more than sam solo running it to happen.
I am happy with the idea of those that buy a char being scammed.
If FF sold for £500 and the bound stones are going to sell for a similar amount and the wiz/war char sale goes through, the amounts would pay for dedi for a year. So all you desparate to look good in mir pay up (to milo) or there's no game to show off in
................................
A no drop good torch should only last a month/week
Speed + pickaxe same
Would it be possible to remove the teleport NPCs and sell an any town tele scroll which lasts a month and costs £5(ish)
This is like a subscription but you can still play if you are willing to run everywhere.
Those that don't want to be tied in to paying for a whole month could buy a 3 day telescroll for £1

 

[FUTURA]

Why not just get everyone to pay 1/1.50/2 quid upon reaching lvl 22 for example? Thats enough time to see whether you want to play or not, and its not extortionate, and if you have over 80 people total, even a 1 quid fee will cover hosting.

The key question is: WHO IS WILLING TO PAY REAL LIFE MONEY?

If EVERYONE is, then subscription makes sense. If only a handful are then you need to consider game shops and ****. You dont need 1 quid per scroll or pickaxe if you're ONLY trying to cover hosting costs, which are 80-90 pounds monthly from what I have read.

ALSO the locked box mechanism is a great idea. Sam, I know people that would be f*cking pissed if people were making money off essentially their business. You need to be getting a cut from the IRL deals that are going on, simple as. These guys wont want to risk a ban, its a waste of money for them.. ALL sales of IRL chars and items (which are going on either way) should go through your mechanism, and you take a % fee. Someone sold flamefield for 500 ****ing pounds, theyre profiting while you're losing out. Makes no sense.

 

[terriblen]

But u have to stop people selling without using sams mechanism.
If you can identify who is buying and selling then you can ban the buyers. Once you have done it to a couple of them it will stop. I am happy to contribute regularly to keep server going but I am not willing to do this if there are people buying items/skills/chars. Too much room for bad things to go on.
Sell me a tele to towns scroll for £2 a month
Make it a free month if theres plenty cash around. The price could be adjusted up and down depending on revenue.

book de leveler

allows people who dont lvl as much to learn the higehr lvl spells, say learn it buy -5 lvls and works on all spells

but at a cost of reduced dmg/effect (depending on spell) until you hit the original required lvl which would then unlock the full potential, (also limit so it doesnt go beyond lvl 1)



btw i dont play this server at all any more and gave my characters away to imgame friends, but id still like to see ace m2 develop
