Welcome to Gaia! ::

This will be our workshop we will use the second post as our coding place to put finalized ideas and will eventually be used to as where we will copy and paste into the official thread once we are happy with our results.

So here are my ideas for the shop write now.


Requirements for purchasing:

~Must already be active with current characters. With no penalties against them for inactivity.

~Cannot not be on probationary status with the guild.

~Finally must have the appropriate amount of points.

Things Available for purchase and pricing:

Lottery Ticket: 3 points

Custom Hero/Villain: 8 points

Canon Villain: 12 points

Legacy Patch: 15 points

Overspill Patch: 20 points


Things worth points repeatedly:

Activity Check: Worth 1 point
Completed Events: Worth 2 Points
Defeating a hero or capturing a villain: Worth 2 points


Things worth points only once

Making a Premade: Worth 2 points
Having over 500 posts in the guild: Worth 1 point
POsting an event or patch suggestion : Worth 1 point
And maybe being active in Skype chat: Worth 1 point

Hmm I like that so you can get points for making good premades. And it not like people are going to spam making premades. And it something we can easily catch happening.

Roxas, you only want every five hundred posts because you've got 3,500. cat_xp

How do you plan to have the legacy and overspill patches purchasable?
I feel like we ought to make the rewards a little more pricey, so they're harder to get.

If you think about it they are already pretty hard to get currently, if you get every point available your only around 11.

Then think about other factors. We haven't had an activity check and are just now doing the first event so no one get's those. So that's 11-3 leaving only 8 available. Then how many people have actually encountered a hero or villain and actually truly one. So far we got Black Beetle over Superman and the Flash over 2 villains with a team up.

So might as well minus those 2 points from everyone. Leaving about 6.

Then let's assume everyone makes premade so they get to keep that point. Then I am in like 4th place for most posts in the guild and I only have 300. Roxas, Grogan, and Periwinkle are the only ones with more than 500 and peri just passed it. So might as well let that one pass. Leaving about 5. Then there is Suggesting Events or patches. people can get those and they can be active in the guild.

So really at the moment the most amount of points anyone is really going to have at this moment when we start is going to be like 3. Even us mods won't be much better. Then to get the legacy level you need 15. Canon villains are 12.

Nobody is even a quarter way there. I say we pretty difficult as is at the moment.


And as for how the legacy/overspill purchase would work. You would buy the right to participate in either the next overspill competition or take an available legacy out of the patch. Overspill competition is more expensive because in theory it allows for someone to make any Legacy they can think of not even being bond to a patch, sorta.

I thought about that too. Where they could just make any legacy they want whenever they want. But at the same time, the overspill is a competition for a reason. We don't want random legacies popping up. I mean if your cool with it then we can allow them to make a free overspill Legacy of their choosing. Though that's such an uber reward I might knock the price up even higher to like 25 points instead of 20. Because that's a serious reward.

Surely this is just as competitive. If it's as hard work as you have been pointing out throughout this topic surely that warrants a legacy...

Shop [Name comes later]

Requirements for making Purchases:

Purchasing from this store requires you to meet these regulations:

○ You must be an active member within the guild currently controlling characters, and cannot have any current penalties against them for inactivity.

○ You cannot be on probationary status with the guild - this means anyone with a warning currently against them cannot purchase from this store.

○ You must also, naturally, have the appropriate amount of points in order to purchase your desired prize.



Things available for Purchase [Name later]:

The following are what you can redeem upon earning the appropriate amount of points.

○ A Lottery Ticket [3 points]
See: Character Lottery

○ A Custom Hero/Villain [8 points]
As the name suggests, this will allow you to open up a 3rd Character slot and fill it with a custom hero/villain upon being accepted via the application process as normal.

○ A Canon Villain [12 points]
As the name suggests, this will allow you to open up a 3rd Character slot and fill it with a canon villain upon being accepted via the application process as normal.

○ A Legacy [15 points]
As the name suggests, this will allow you to open up a 3rd Character slot and fill it with an available Legacy (Strictly not overspill) upon being accepted via the application process as normal.

○ An Overspill Legacy [20 points]
As the name suggests, this will allow you to open up a 3rd Character slot and fill it with an overspill legacy of you're choice upon being accepted via the application process as normal. However, if you're overspill is not chosen in the competition then you will be refunded and awarded a single point just to ease the disappointment.

○ A new patch [50 points]
As the name suggests, this will allow you to open up a whole patch with your friends. You can share points to collectively buy this deal and ultimately you will get to work with mods to decide the theme and the available legacies. There can be up to 5-8 legacies and you and the other contributors will get first dibs on the available legacies.
