Rewards for server awards on the forums

[Cept For Her]

I was thinking that it could be cool to reward people in-game with store credits if they are given a forum award for playing on the servers for the amount of days required or for surf the proper percentage. For example, if someone reaches 5 days in ze then they could be awarded 250 store credits on the servers. If the same person gets 5 days on JB then they would again recieve 250 store credits. If someone reaches 15 days they could get more store credits for a bigger milestone of playing.

 

Essentially Im suggesting that we implement a way to reward people on the servers for spending the time on that server. While the forum awards are cool and everything, it would be even more cool to give players in game rewards for their dedication to playing. I feel like this might motivate people to spend a bit more time on the servers because they would essentially get rewarded for having fun, and would possibly drive them to help make a better community of players.

Isn’t a bad idea, but playing for 5 days to get 250 store credits is sort of underwhelming. Since any regular would earn 7200 credits in five days of playtime, maybe they should get something like 5k.

 

Just a thought.

I'm not really against a reward for playtime awards, but I'm against destroying the credits value. Even though it's not to be treated as a currency, giving me 5k every time I achieve 5 days is sorta adding not needed credit. I'd rather give a month of sub for 15 days, where sub is also 5$ is value + encourages ppl to play even more during the month.

 

But I like the idea, worth talking about.

In my opinion this is quite true, and I do agree with this but instead of 15 days for 1 month, I think it should kind of higher because if they do give one month of sub for 15 days, they are losing like $5 every time a person gets 15 days, and just think of the amount of people who have over 15 days already. Again this is just my though and I do like/agree with this idea.

I like the idea of gaining from certain milestones but I agree with roux on the value of credits. I believe something should be implamented to reward players.

Giving sub at first doesn't seem like a bad idea. But then people who actually pay for sub might not pay for it anymore and just get play time to get sub, therefore lowering the available funds to keep the servers running. In this case I'd prefer giving credits to people instead of sub/vip

Even if its not store credits, we could offer them a special model to use or something of that sort thats a cosmetic perk, so people can say “howd you get that?” And they say “ph i played on ze or jb or ttt or mg for 15 days so i get this specific model for that server”. Theres many different ways to reward players for their time spent, the only question is whcih one is the best for maintaining the servers while giving people something awesome to earn.

I actually really like the idea of time specific models / items I feel that is a great way to reward players

Closing this one for now because we have a plan similar to this.
