Okay, we now have the vBCredits, vBShop and a few other things which I have been waiting for. Ame is working hard on the front page and hopefully will soon be putting Alfie up on the front page. This has been a royal bitch to get get going. A lot harder than we thought. But it'll be worth it!
When we get this ready to go I'm going to do the following things:
Basically there were things when I was working on the mods that did things like double the money people had, etc. So all of the prices I've set are whacked. This will level the playing field.
There are a few things that have been allowed to be done normally that people will have to pay for - like changing names or avatars. I do this because it's confusing when people do it and if they want to they have to pay.
Coming to the mod soon will be the ability to steal points. I've already created two groups called "Criminals" and "Witness Protection". The Criminals will be able to steal for a lower price and be better at it, but they won't be able to protect themselves very well. Witness Protection will be able to cheaply block any changes to their accounts but won't be able to steal or change anyone else cheaply. Basically it'll be just for fun.
I am going to have something where people can change other people's avatars but it's going to cost a LOT - like HB25,000.
Also, I'm going to be changing permissions such as PM limit and things like that. If you want to allow more PMs in your box you can pay for it with HalBucks.
Last, I'm going to be locking down the Wretched Hive. It's going to be completely hidden. BUT! People will be able to buy access. Why? Because I'm going to open it up a bit. It's been underused and I'm seriously thinking of allowing harsher stuff. Locking it down will stop it from being seen by anyone and would stop it from showing up in What's New unless they bought the ability to go there.
Thoughts? Additional suggestions? Rants?
When we get this ready to go I'm going to do the following things:
- Reset everyone's HalBucks to 100.
- Make everyone's name/style the same so that to customize it they will have to buy it.
- Reset all Triple Triad cards - Right now anyone can buy pretty much any deck.
- Reset all arcade scores - Drifter is going to hate this one!
