And i'm addicted to gambling irl.

FML


Too bad i gave all that million gold away :/ Could've put it on lottery :l
But i assume it will stay on 100k gold and not increase even if more tickets are bought?

It's a gold sink, they are betting on more people throwing money into it than it hands out.

So everyone should just not buy tickets...

YES, fight the powa!

Everything should be multiplied by 10 though. Tickets too cheap, price too low.

Anyone else thought the prize pool would increase?  :mrgreen:

definitely, ticket must cost 99k and prize must be 100k
Also tickets must be bought automatically, if you've got more than 99k+1 gold.

Let's get read of money stackers.

You mean 20% tax, right?
Title: Re: OMFG GAMBLING!
Post by: Dutchydave on May 21, 2012, 11:37:52 am
5% would do right?If your going to do it(please)can you incorperate strategus gold into the gambling?

No, because I actually read the page.

CHUMP LOTTERY GO GO! All it'll take is 50 people buying 20 tickets each for it to go into burn mode.

You think it will stop at 2k?

Yes cuz max 20 tickets and this lottery thingie ends in like 13 days. Who the hell won't have more than 2k in that period of time?

Only for the poor players. Those who are rich and got lots of gold should only get 10%

You have to sell 1000 tickets to not be putting more money into the economy? Sounds kinda high..maybe you should have to buy minimum 10 tickets. Or make the prize pool like 80% of total money spent by players on tickets

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't even care if the prize is 5,000g and I have a 1:100 chance of winning. It's 2,000 gold, what kind of scrubby scrooge are you if you can't afford to lose that?

What if the prize increased when tickets are bought, but on an exponential curve where the payout gives a worse investment:prize ratio? Like if you were the first person to buy a ticket for 100g the prize would be 1,000g. But if you were the 10th person to buy a ticket, the prize would be 6,800g. Just throwing numbers out there, but does that make sense?

Even if the rates made it so you had terrible chances of winning by the time the prize was big, wouldn't you be tempted to buy a ticket as you watched the numbers rise over the week? I know I would.

Also I made back my 2,000g while I typed this post.  :lol:

If you don't lose money at x5, you aren't trying hard enough. You are cement shoes, pulling your team to the bottom.

This is a great new feature. Excellent gold sink. Maybe even add special gear you can win that is not available in the shop. That would REALLY make people buy tickets (those tickets should be more expensive though).

Hey lets not
Title: Re: OMFG GAMBLING!
Post by: LordBerenger on May 21, 2012, 09:44:56 pm
Hey lets not

Why not. They don't have to be OP items or items that cause unbalance among other items.
Just special rare items that only pops up at lotterys.

Imagine the price on those. 3mil atleast.

Hey lets not
Why would it matter to you or anyone not interested in it? If you aren't interested in it don't buy tickets for it. 'Problem' solved.
Title: Re: OMFG GAMBLING!
Post by: B3RS3RK on May 21, 2012, 09:51:28 pm
I think that´s a pretty interesting Idea, but imo it should be a rather useless item, like a diadem or a crown, and only one of it.Having more than one Special lottery items sucks.

Post by: Miwiw on May 21, 2012, 09:52:39 pm
Hey lets not

Well, as long as it doesnt depend on RL money (which is does not), and as long as its no overpowered Item and only different in the looks, it should be fine. maybe even tradeable?

Yeah, we're gonna end up 90% of all good looking stuff is on the lottery, rare...

Not necessarily good looking. Just different non-buyable from shop items with different stats but not OP stats or breaking balance stats just different looks/models/stats.

Or some useless fun new fun loom

I'd like a lottery where I can change the name of one of my equipment items, like my nodachi, I want to rename it to Namodachi.

Actually, weapon renaming sounds like a good idea.
