Brownie Points and Prizes

[Kender Bard]

Currently we gain 1 point per post. To put this in perspective, it takes 400 posts to earn a Force wish.

Should we raise the cost of prizes after the plot? If so, by how much?

I'd also like to point out that what is now purchasable are no longer true Force Wishes. Force Wishes, as they once were, were 500 points, and you could have a character blessed by a Force, and the Force asked nothing in return. These are still available to players on the yearly anniversary of a player's joining the site and on Christmas.

What can currently be bought are Force Bargains, meaning that the player pays 400 brownie points (or 600, in some cases, depending on what they want), plus the character ICly has to make some sort of deal with the Force for what they've been given.

There's a lot of stuff on there that just seems a bit too easy to get for such unique things.

When voting, keep in mind more than just the force bargain stuff, but also that there's at least two more time consuming and potentially costly prizes as well.

Ultimately it's the admin's choice whether or not these brownie point prices get raised, but as is, I don't think they should be raised, or if the are, then not by much. I know the point is to try and raise one's activity on the boards to gain bp's, but to a newbie or someone who cannot access the boards too often because of connectivity or other problems, making it too steep may put them at a disadvantage or may be construed as unfair.

lol Navian this is such an old topic. I've already gone and raised them; what you can see in the store is the new prices! Between posting, games, the bank, and soon other rewards for activity, it's not hard to get points. After all, you have over 100 and you've been here less than a month.

Heh heh... *rubs neck sheepishly* heh... Sorry Kender. Well, I had to give my penny's worth on the subject anyway... But it's true what you say.
