I used to be the head admin of a fairly successful server (Not going to name). Lets call it Arcade. On Arcade I created many succesful features for the server including this feature called ArcCash. ArcCash was a currency kept ingame which players could use on the Webstore to purchase ranks, keys and cosmetics etc: Players could earn ArcCash by voting, or watching ads on webpages and things like that. ArcCash can benefit to players by creating a more broad economy as well as producing income for the server by advertising videos. Every ad gives you an "ad reward" which would either be 0.01 "Central Cash" or you could get a exp pouch, small money pouch, diamond blocks, iron blocks or maybe even armor / gear items. Voting for the server could earn you 0.15 cents Central Cash. Central cash can have a minimum pouch purchase of $10 too make it more encouraged to vote / watch the advertisements. CentralCash could be a goodname. If you have any suggestions let me know below, I'm curious to know your opinions below. I have used this before and it generates more income for the server than it loses by a fairly solid margin. Sincerely - Oracy
I believe this is a pretty good idea! My friend and I were just talking about some way of using igm or something that could be converted to money used for the shop. This is would allow people without that much money at home to also get stuff in the shop besides doing irl deals with other people. The way of getting money by voting would be cool for those people who can't vote every day to get the reward for being top voter. Also voting would be encouraged more with this feature. ~Lizzy <3
Hey there, While this might be a good idea for smaller servers, I don't think this would fit well on MCC, nor do I think the owners would like the idea either. MCC is big enough to not need to run ads to make money, and there would be a lot of problems with making a second currency. It could work in lobbies but for rewards you mentioned xp, money, diamond blocks, etc which could only happen on subservers, and each subserver has a way different economy then the next, so transferring between subservers wouldn't work out all too well. Finally, I think this is just too much work for something that wouldn't be used all too much, and there's no point in taking something directly from another server. People who need ranks and don't have money themselves do IRL Deals (the allowed kind) in order to rank up.
I like this idea, many other top server have done something similar. And it seemed to work out. I don’t even vote, the rewards are so trashy currently.
Hey there! This idea sounds great! One question I have, is how are alt accounts dealt with? I can see issues arrising for players with multiple accounts, as they would be able to get an unfair amount of "CentralCash" and considering it's used on the Webstore which can buy Mythical Keys, Ancient keys etc, can become very over powered. This would work out really well, as long as it is limited somehow. If you have any other details, please let me know <3 Thanks, Nikki
Hey Oracy! I don’t know if you remember me from this unnamed server ;) it’s ubertoast :D Its great too see you again!
