An Advanced Beggars lane/Heidi's
« on: March 21, 2007, 12:01:56 AM »

I usually find myself with too much gold on my hands. Because of this I try to deposit my gold to the coffers but there is one of two problems. One is that The global limit prevents me from depositing and the other is that it's already full. Due to this I wait until I am at level 15. From there I because I don't lose any progress I then I sleep in the fields after telling someone that I have this much gold on me and am giving it away by letting them kill me. Now not anyone can attack me so I find it a little unfair. So what can I do? It would not make much since giving the same gifts over and over everytime you reach the end of the cycle.

The option I want is to be able to send money to others. It would be like sending gifts to others but in the form of a gift card letting them choose what to get. If they didn't need it they could pass it on to someone else who may be struggling. I think that with this gold would have more use then just a forehead protector and gifts. I see people begging for massive ammounts of gold compared to what the beggars lane could do. I can hold 30000 gold but only 55 can be given away and not just that but a day? From there it goes to Heidi's Place. That depends on level. I don't know how  long it would take to donate that 30000 at level 15. Not only that but just who is it going to? I don't know If I spent that time giving it to one person or lots of people some of which may not even play the game anymore making it a waste.

Therefore I must ask, can we have more control on the money giving?

it sounds like a good idea but some downsides

people will use this to transfer gold en masse from alt---> main


an alternative is that neji makes teh beggars lane able to give more money
or make a whole different place in which you throw your money in a pit and it is evenly distributed fast and randomly, thus preventing the alt---> to main thing.

Sounds like a good idea but like Raikiri said,  some people would send all of their extra money from alt to main, so if this happens it's prolly going to be throwing money into a pit.

And not just from alt to main. Friends to friends.

A pit.. Splendid idea.

maybe heidi can run two stores now..

one for small donatiosn and candlees, and one for a giant  money get-rid pit in which you are allowed to dump all money on hand and split around randomly by the server.

Everyone like that?

i like the "pit" idea-ish thing...but it's a bit unrealistic

"The charity hall"
A) Donate gold
B) Leave

If A), you get a "Donate how much?" box to type in numbers
then in the morning, x random people receive 100 gold each, where x is the amount of donated money/100 (there are a LOT of people who play this game, it's kinda lame to give everybody one gold piece or something :P)

"You have recieved 100 gold from the generosity of <insert donator here>!"

perhaps something like that?

also, i suggest you get a cityhouse :P it always worked for me until i became a sannin, (at which point i made too much money to deposit) in which case get a castle ^^

you can also try to deposit gold continuously, every game day, as opposed to waiting until you're level 15 (at which point you can only deposit 9k in one day)

i happen to like my pit idea >.<

lol, your idea is good too.

One thing, i think that anoymousy is better when donating. its not practical for someone to be tehre and write down every person who donates keeps track of their gold and who it went to,

The "pit" was only an example, i wasnt planning an event

your charity hall should be donate all money or leave as we already have heidi and lane for less money donations.

I think the main thing Twilight is asking for is a way to get rid of ALL his gold fast, without wasting it, and before an oro kill.

i think that wouldn't be a very complicated automated system, it wouldn't require a person (correct me if i'm wrong, i have *very* little programming experience)

i meant an npc.

think its just not practical


When someone donats their money, in order to know who donated it it
A. needs to be put in a box with their name on it (lots of boxes if everyone donates.)
B. A npc must keep track persoanlly of the gold, which is also impractical.

imagine how many people/boxes required with the insanely big amounts of money donated every  hour...

Not ver realisitic either.

but lets not spam this toppic with discussion between the two ofus, if you wish to contineu to argue, pm me.

There is a reason why money transfers are not allowed, it is already stated in this thread...

Multis are allowed here, so transferring is prohibited.

I could say Multis not allowed, then we can allow transferring money and also larger donations between chars.

But this is not really an option.

Why do you, with all that money, don't use the money sink -> forehead protector

?

No beggars lane will give more money, it is one-time a day for a purpose.

so neji, why not make another money sink? This one instead of helping  you personally, it divides the money and sends it to acads and people who need it?

That one of the reasons why i don't like Multi, it makes this game too limited.

sure, buff up the poor acads (who should beg) and also who can be invited into your house and use the chest...

in my active player days, it was what I did... you search for somebody to look up to, he supports you with his house and money, and then once grown, etc etc

good days happy after.

=)

another money sink? ok, I can do that, but only a sink, no benefit at all ;)

let's see.... how about a "donate the hidden village" thingy? :)
