New Server Development Discussion

[coolzeldad]

There has been some talk with others about a new server-wide, non-monetary, shop system.

This will feature some sort of currency that can be achieved on all servers.

Special items and majority of points can be earned through contests all admins can hold at any time.

Contests will be logged and displayed publicly as information and also to help facilitate honesty.

Items able to be bought include player additions/decorations/etc.

I am posting this to gather comments, ideas, criticism, etc.

For it ? Against it ? Reason ? Have an Idea ? Have a suggestion ?

Will the special items be permanent?

Will the special items be permanent?

It's possible to have both temporary and permanent.

Not sure what kind of item would be temporary.

I like this idea.. I might develop something along those lines

Would be amazing to have some kind of poker game where you bet with your existing points along with this.
Anyway, definitely sounds like a cool idea.

wiremod.ru Servers are a good example of this (although they have a donations system as well )
GMOTD = Gamemode of the Day server

Points are used for the donation menu only, they serve no purpose in-game.
Profits are used to buy from the shop in Deathrun
Silver is used to buy various items in GMOTD

1 USD ~= 31.217 Russian rubles (you can use WMZ to donate USD if you're not Russian )


All
-You can donate online or by SMS, where 1 ruble = 1 point
-Uses:
-1 point can be converted into 10 profits ($1 USD ~= 312.17 profits)
-Cheap deathrun packet (66% off all deathrun items for 7 days or a month)
-Build VIP privileges for 7 days or a month

Build
-Build VIP gives you ability to use PAC, some tools and features, etc.

Deathrun
-If your team wins as killer or runner you obtain profits. Less for if you're dead, more if you actually killed the killers, etc.
-Shop uses profits as currency
-Shop has hats, playermodels (you're the C17 black citizen by default), trails, toggleable 3rd person camera, custom text below your name, and ghost mode (you can respawn after you die and noclip or run around (although you don't weigh anything, so you can't trigger any break traps))

GMOTD
-You can set your own playermodel, all gamemodes are fretta-based
-If you win you obtain *profits*, which can be used on deathrun or converted into silver in the GMOTD menu (but not back to profits)
-Shop uses silver
-Shop has hats, blood dyes, custom titles, facial effects, special items you can only get through events and promotions


Would be nice to have 1 single currency that's shared between all servers though.

Bullshit Here

I highly doubt coolz will end up doing something like this. RND isn't a sellout like some other 'big servers' that sell admin/VIP/othershiz.

Although a paypal donation button on the forums would be nice.

Ontopic// I'm all for a shop system. Those of us who constantly play on the servers can show off how we have no lives with our 1337 hats.
Plus it'd help make server-hoppers regulars on RND.
plus, maybe some nox players who can't stand their own community might switch over to RND.

How about a Casino RP?

[Carp]

Yeah, I was actually hoping donations wouldn't go towards in-game credits.

Only prob. is that selling things like hats, trails, or playermodels in the shop would be pointless on the build server (PAC2)

[Tomcat]

ahh yes great idea because when you do this you could also make a stats page ( Your putting the player info into a mysql database anyways LOOOL).

Besides buying and equipping hats using pac 2 would only take around 10 lines of code to do he he he
