dp For Books
« on: October 10, 2007, 01:20:07 AM »

I think that books should have a price of dp for them


Like a certain book can become a best seller and i think that person should be recognized

And how exactly does one's book become a best seller? Votes? Most viewed? Players can easily abuse this to get donation points.

if you want donation points, donate! The server needs it.

How can you abuse it ???

I just think writers should be compensated


If i really like a preview to a book i think i should have to pay 25 dp to get it

Your explanation in your 1st post was short & unclear.

So you want other players to give you donation points in order to read your book? In other words, you want to force your fans/readers to donate points to you. I don't like the idea of that.

ZackZero, try asking for donation points from your fans instead of forcing everyone who wants to read your books to pay. Do that by adding a little sentence at the end of your book.

"Any donations of donation points from readers as a sign of support are humbly accepted."

That's the right way to do it.

The library is just like any other library, the books are free to read.  The cost of the library card covers any expenses that will occur in the library.

I think this could be a good idea, just not well though out enough.

Can be used to transfer gold from one character to the other.

How to put this... Okay, what about some of the lower level players like Academy Students? I don't know exactly how many oof them read the books in the library but what if one did? Most Academy Students have 0 DP which means they wouldn't be able to read the books if they wanted to or not, and what of those others trying to save up thier points to read a book? Giving up 25 of thier earned points, to read a book thats about a chapter long? Its kinda unfair.

I have to agree with Gyu.
I don't like this idea at all. :|
It will get abused gold or gems.
