Player Houses/Funding
Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2017 7:03 pm
I am working on player houses first before guild houses, though the systems will be similar and most likely will be used for both, it's just that player houses obviously don't involve the guild wars system.
Standard player houses will be generic, nothing too fancy, and not customizable beyond some little things. They will have some sort of vault storage for items.
Custom player houses will allow full portrait changes, description changes, special rooms, and the like. They'll have heavier storage for vaults, and generally all rooms can become vault rooms if you feel.
Thing is, I want custom player houses to be something not really obtained through gold. Dare I say it, through actual funding. We currently are sinking in money to a server, and I'd honestly like to get a little coin that doesn't involve anything pay to win, as I think PTW games are terrible.
I am not sure how I'll do this yet though. For example, custom player houses could be something that you pay lets say, for a 3 months, or a year, or every month (though you can pay upfront or whatever.) I don't want it to be too crazy though. I do think it should be some sort of recurring but fairly cheap option.
I am also not sure if we should combine this with lets say, a package that boosts the amount of items you can hold in your vault, amount of items you can post to the auction, things like that. Things that would make your life alot easier. So it would be like Vault Space + House + Auction Posting Amount + Whatever other things, or keep them separate and let people choose what they want. What do people feel would be the best method? I'm still not sure how I'd reduce vault space if they find out after a year or whatever they don't want it anymore, but I'll think up something probably.
What do people think? I know it is a touchy subject and I want to get says. Obviously this doesn't mean its the ONLY way to get some things, at least the custom houses, but for sure vault space and other things are going to be something of a 'gold membership' type thing.
Furthermore. What would really be a good price? For the 'gold membership' or houses, or it all combined or whatever. I'm really up for opinions here.
Custom portraits, name changes, etc, will be coming soon as well, but that's for another topic too.
