Title: We have hit 2500 Votes!!!
Post by: James on August 27, 2013, 06:32:48 PM
(http://bigjoeonthego.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/thank-you-road-sign.jpg)





We can't thank you guys enough for all the hard work you've put into helping us reach our goal of 2500 votes for Worldscape. We are so very grateful to have this fantastic community, and I for one am proud to say that I've been with Worldscape as long as I have, and have seen it grow so much! I know player count isn't the highest it's ever been, but we've taken the first step to get it where it used to be, by voting and letting people know about us.

To thank you all for what you've done, we will be holding two drop parties: One tonight at 10:00 PM Eastern US Time, and one tomorrow (more information coming later on tonight about time.)

Again, thank you for all you guys have done. I can't wait to experience another 7 years of growth with you all!

~James, Kevin, Ryan, and the rest of the AllGoFree staff team.






In other news....

We have fixed the special for the Dark Bow, as well as the normal attack (where it shoots two arrows at once.) Enjoy!

Yep awesome drop party, who cares about staying up to 4am on a weekday

To next time : Make the date MUCH MORE CLEAR so more people can attend, and also make the dropping on a time that could work for Europeans and Americans.

Or we can do it when we damn well please.

If you guys are really this bummed about having the opportunity to get free items, we'll discontinue drop parties all together.

This is why we're having an Australian drop party for people in that zone :-).

As for European, as we have no European moderators or administrators, we have nobody to host one in that time zone.

This.


Due to the negativity, the AllGoFree owners have decided that we are discontinuing drop parties as a form of rewards for us reaching our goals together.

It is a sad situation, but all the negativity surrounding it is outweighing the positive influences.

I want our community to work as a team, and things like this really irritate me, as I saw it as an opportunity for people to get items, and have fun. Apparently, others didn't see it as this.

Again, After the Australian Drop Party that is happening on the 31st, we are disabling trading/dropping for admins+.

We will be coming up with other methods of rewards, though.

Post by: Krest I V on August 30, 2013, 09:34:26 PM
Well that suggestion isn't helping at all.

I say we keep on voting and get to 5,000 and see what we get.

That's not punishing the people who voted. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the people at the drop party, or the people who got the items that were dropped, didn't vote at all. Or even open the topic we made about it. It was really a reward for voting at all. It was a reward to the community for a couple of peoples dedication to voting.
Title: Re: We have hit 2500 Votes!!!
Post by: nate on August 31, 2013, 02:00:33 PM
yeah. If it was rewarded for voting, me jake wolf and nick voted a crap ton....  I voted just about every hour, and I would assume they did the same. So if it were for the voters, they would have made sure we all could make it. Idk if wolf really plays, I had church, Jake had school, and idk if nick was there.

Post by: Krest I V on August 31, 2013, 06:09:08 PM
I think a vote shop would be a good thing to try out. People would definitely see immediate rewards from that and that would probably get us to vote more. Instead of the same five or ten people voting, more people that only play the game and don't use the forum would start to vote too.

I completely agree. We need more of an incentive to vote, otherwise only a select few will continue to vote for the server. I like the idea of a vote shop, as people can save up their vote points to buy something nice that would hopefully not ruin the economy.

That's the biggest part of it in my opinion. There can't be a Sigil in there for 10 votes, it's gotta be 100. Voting 100 times is actually a lot easier than it sounds.

A voting reward shop could be another way to bring in more items. I don't know how we're going to go about linking the amount of vote into the game, but if that could be done I suggest this be implemented.

Every big server, or popular server, has a reward for voting shop. Hence why they're as popular as they are. No one ever really wants to vote for nothing. Did you see the difference in people voting when we announced they would be a drop party at 2,500 votes? There was like 100 votes per day more. Now imagine that but 24/7. I'm not asking for every 10 votes you get a Godsword, or something ridiculous like that. Maybe even take out all the Party Hats in the game and add them to the store for a big price. Like 2,500 votes for one person = enough for a party hat.

In addition to what I just said, I think it'd be in community's/economy's best interest to make the items from this store un-tradable. Making them even more rare.

That wouldn't make them more rare?  ??? There'll still be the same amount of said item in the game, it'll just be traded for other items and so on, circulating the economy.
Regardless, I wholeheartedly support Jake's suggestion of adding a voting shop as like he said, it may/may not introduce new items into the game but it will also encourage voting which in turn, attracts more people. In essence, it's like a big circle of love.  ;)
Title: Re: We have hit 2500 Votes!!!
Post by: Jake on September 01, 2013, 07:20:19 PM
I only meant the highest thing you can get from the store should be untradable. That way it's a symbol of how much effort you've put in and in some way making it rare.
