Stemming from ideas that came to me in the other discussion thread, I began doing some thinking. I feel that maybe a few more reward systems on Evelon could be used to encourage more activity. I have a few ideas of my own, but would really like to hear what other users and the mods think of such ideas.
Regarding Breeding Rewards:
Perhaps, for each level up of a breeding Licence, users receive a prize? For all of Evelon's existence that I have been around for, users have only been awarded for A Licences, even though we have to go through other license levels as milestones toward the ultimate goal.
My prize suggestions are as follows:
Upgrade to C of any type: 250 KS + Breeding Key of that type.
Upgrade to B of any type: 500 KS + Breeding Key of that type.
And A remains the same.
Honestly, I would also be happy with just the KS or a Breeding Key reward, but I thought both combined would not be out of the question either? I especially like the idea of receiving keys, as it helps toward the obvious goal of achieving the numbers to go up a level again.
Other Reward Ideas:
These are much more varied, and I may not be certain on prize ideas, but just things that could possibly constitute rewards.
+ Roleplay rewards. The numbers could be anything, the prizes could be anything, but how about rewarding milestones for roleplay posts? Such as 1000 roleplay posts earns a prize? 1000 is a lot, but also very achievable. In the other thread, I suggested this as an alternative to getting a "free custom breedable." Which could be used, if approved, or the reward could easily be something else? We could use 500 posts as a milestone, too, with maybe a bonus KS prize, as well as more than 1000 posts.
For users to submit for their prizes, they would have to link the threads and note the post count in each of them, which could then be double checked prior to the prize being sent out.
+ Consecutive log in rewards. Users log in and post at least once a day for 30 days in a row? Maybe they could be rewarded KS.
There could be a thread where users post tracking posts for this themselves. They can start at any time, but have to link a post for each day, 30 days in a row, from their starting date. This has the potential for higher rewards for more consecutive log ins and posts, or could remain with a set amount of days. I picked 30 just because that would prove a month's of activity. It could start at 15 for smaller rewards, or what have you.
If there was a prize chain that goes up and up, it could also be stated that you can only redeem for each prize once, even if you are forced to start over at some point. Or it could stay at every time there is X amount of days of consecutive log ins and posts, you get rewarded a specific KS prize.
Example of how users would log for this:
7/26/14 : (Link to post with that date.)
7/27/14 : (Link to post with that date.)
And so on.
These were my main ideas, but I would love to hear feedback and any other ideas everyone may have!
