Kragel Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 I have Been ask by one of my adepts how someone could buy credits as a gift for someone in the game as i have looked and can not see any way to make this happen so far i would like to request that it could be added 2 ways that this could be done with little coding would be a: have a box when buying credits that has the players name in it and it could be changed to any other player name for the purpose of making the (gift) b: make a button in the MD shop that says something to the effect of "Give the Gift of Support" where in the player could click on the button and then choose the amount they wish to gift and the person the gift is for the reason this would be good for the game is it lets people with extra resources help those who they would like to help or those who perhaps cant afford to support but would like to access the MD items this allows added support for the games bandwidth and growth again this is my 2 c Kragel The Metal Mage
Granos Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Seems like an interesting idea.. You have my support.
stormrunner Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 being one of those with little or no free money I can not help but say this is a good idea plus it really is a good idea
pamplemousse Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Great idea and should be implemented soon.
Elloriana Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 You know, there are many games that enforce this type of reward system. The ability to share your credits allows for a multitude of reward style systems: Good RP, Puzzle Solving, Helping Solve Quests... all of this player run and capable of being shared quickly. Credits and the opportunities they provide add a great deal of encouragement to players. The area of abuse, making multiple accounts to do the "Free credits" of voting are minimal damage causers. even this could be mitigated by only allowing so many credits changed over at a time or per day, if the feeling of such a threat was high. Ultimately, I assume the difficulty truly lies in coding it...
dst Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Playing devils advocate here What if a real Richy Rich player comes and gives money for: making one player his/her adept, receiving the solution for quests/riddles/etc, pays another player to kill another one etc, etc? Yes, there is a way to give credits to someone else: PM the GM and ask him (Shoeps don't shoot me!). I did this some time ago. But I know that is not a long time solution.

Kragel Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Posted October 15, 2008 Personally i have never been a fan of multi accounts but they are a part of this game at least for now so i would suggest for credit gifting it could not be done with other accounts you have you can not give yourself credits .. this might not seem fair to some but i think it makes since and helps people to develop one stronger main profile they will play to be stronger in the game also i don't think your multi accounts should be able to adept to your main or worship your main again just My 2 c Kragel The Metal Mage
dst Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 I was not talking about your own accounts. It would be pretty stupid to do that... And hmm...Mur becoming Rrich? No problem! And Happy Birthday Kragel
Kragel Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Posted October 15, 2008 that's right its already tomorrow over there in Romania thanks for the Happy B day wishes dst
LunarGoddess Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 I love this idea, you have my support 100%.
Je Suis Oeufs Fous Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I fully support this idea. Alas, I even joined solely to show my support for this idea. I think it would be a wonderful thing if you could give credits as gifts to your friends, or those less fortunate. I'm a big giver, especially this time of the year, and it's definitely something I would love to see before Christmas time roles around.

[/b][/quote] [b]GREAT IDEA!!![/b] Eggos if this could be done in time for the holidays i think a lot of people would embrace it! :yahoo: Maybe Murtaus and Shoeps can give us their feedback on the topic :clapping:
MRnegative6 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Im greedy so i dont like the idea:P Sorry guys:) Id rather the idea was more like...a gift when a quest is done or something...you got to earn your credit. The reason i dont agree is: I got 50adepts and i dont want them all beging me for credit Im greedy I like a challenge to gain something Nothing is free:) MR-6
Shoeps Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Buy them and ask me to change it... Could be a idea..
Udgard Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Just one think though, I think it should be strictly purchasing for someone, not transferring for someone else what you already have in your current character. That would make everyone make lots of multis to farm free credits to give to their main. While I am using strictly free credits as well, the free $s are a real bonus that helps everyone, and it is already very generous for Manu to give it to everyone. I'd hate to see it get abused and become a blunder that suddenly diminishes the amount of credits purchased (which in turn is used to support this game's development and maintenance).
MRnegative6 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Donating credits to people i dont mind, but a system that is SPECIFICALLY aimed to give your adepts or players your credit...i dont agree on as reason stated above. People will just follow you around beging once they find out you give credits out. I agree to what shoeps says, if you want to give credits ask shoeps to take yours away and give it over. I dont want a system that encourges it...:/
Kragel Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Posted November 18, 2008 yes just a simple button you can click on that says to buy a gift of credits for someone click >here< then you click and it says please enter the exact name of the player you wise to buy credits for you enter XXxYX or maybe the name and uid 001234 then the amount from 5 to 100 credits and click ok then confirm the name and or name and uid and =@ BOOM =@ there ya go instant credits for anyone you wish your adept the guy or gal you are crushing or the new player who impressed you with something whatever the case may be and Thank you Shoeps for the support well Thank everyone for the support in this :yahoo:
Kragel Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 simple bump this idea had a lot of support before and since we cant transfer credits anymore through shoeps maybe some more love could get mur to take a closer look at it since it would allow others to support the game by using credits as rewards and gifts
Braiton Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 You could do this. But Mur wont allow it anymore. Look in the announcements. Here: [2008-12-21 01:41:01 - Alpha 8] Credit transfers between player accounts are not allowed for a while. Please do not request such a thing for the next period, your request will be ignored. Thank you for understanding.
lightsage Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 What if we're not talking about credit transfer but actually buying them for another player? For one it would prevent free credits on alts. As a second people wouldn't really dare ask other people to pay them for them... (or atleast I wouldn't) since you know it's paid with real money just for you. The only problem that's left is the rich player bribing everyone, but they could actually just give people money instead of credits (I know accepting money is one worse than credits but still) so in the end there is no way of preventing this. Just my 2 cents, tried to stay objective in outlining it...
Braiton Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 That would ruin the no economy system. Plus it would be even worser because it would be real money. And as you said, the rich would just run the game.
