Comparison List

You also missed Disable Advertisements, which stayed consistent (2->30)

Also snipe

I’d say have a minimum amount to qualify for the peen. 15 BP?

I currently have 15 BP – it seems like only yesterday it was just 1. Log in to see images!

So can I host 570 Last post wins 1BP contests now?

Yeah, we’d probably expect a minimum of 15 BP for a Big Give E-Peen™ or something like that. I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

oh no, please don’t that makes games horrible.

You already complain that the game is horrible all the time. Log in to see images! I agree it would be horrible if it was introduced without opening the economy. Then it would simply be a donor game and that drives people away. Allowing people to trade for things in Kyoubai would very much be the equivalent of the mall in KoL. I have two characters over there, one has donated plenty, one has earned the in game currency and purchased all specialty items from the mall. Both characters are fully capable of anything. As long as I had options the specialty items did absolutely nothing to give one character an advantage over the other.

That would be a kewl way to do it, yeah. They’d need to set the min price p high though.

No, you misunderstand. Catt means the players are the only ones who sell BP at auction. Any BPs sold would have been purchased by players, not put up by CZ. The only way for sales to be maintained is to keep CZ from introducing extra random BPs into the economy, it must be player driven.

scully, I think you know what I meant but I’m gonna talk a bit about it. I hate those games where people who simply give out the money need no skill on the said game to be on the “top”. I think CZ has already talked about this that they do not want to turn forumwarz into that and that’s the reason for the joke app ET did a while ago.
Maybe if it’s some kind of decorative item or gives cheater status or something along the lines.
I’d totally buy something like a 0off 0def helmet for keyboard bashing for example.

By The way, i have a suggestion.

Can you please allow other bank accounts than paypal?

Like Ideal, wallie cards, etcetra.

I just updated every active contest to the new BP ratio.

If I forgot to update a thread please report it.

Thanks!

I do know what you meant, but not every game with buyable things turns to crap. A lot depends on how the game itself functions and whether the game designers behave responsibly when they release things.

This is what scares me the most though. That we could make a mistake and ruin the fun of the game for everyone.

I absolutely do not want our game to become one of those Zynga pieces of **** where people just buy their way to the top. So while we do want BP earnable in game, we have to be SUPER careful about how we do it.

Hmm…

Given that, I think you should wait until Dom is overhauled before doing this. Because really, what else can you buy your way to the top with other than a competitive advantage in Dom? The storyline game is a solo affair you could cheat your way through anyway if you really wanted to.

Maybe leaderboards, because buying ads increases your ability to go for Flamebate fodder and the other “click here and do something to give me +1”-type things. But that’s about it, no?
