Daily log-in bonus cash. (Vote in the poll)

The problem with Legacy (And gamma too, even after all the changes and preventative measures taken, but less) was that the economy would have too much money brought in all too quickly. With too much money brought into the eco, the value of money will decrease. This does not result in a healthy economy.

true thats why it would be best if it was temporaryor not at all

The latter would probably be preferable, since we don't want to start off with an already faulty economy.

ya, that makes sense

in case you havent noticed, we don't care about the EULA anymore
~ @Muunkee

Unless something has changed between now and the post "no words", I believe we will be EULA compliant after the server goes back up.

I think the idea is nice, but personally, Citizens should get more Meebles then people that have Rank. That way, it would be a reason for Citizens to keep coming back to Meep.

But I would change the amount

Citizen = 50 meebles
VIP + = 25 meebles

It wouldn't be enough to ruin the economy, it's less then what the gold value is, so it shouldn't ruin that either.

That should get past the EULA, since buying a rank would actually net you less Meebles, then if you didn't buy a rank.

(edit: Thank you Qazini for pointing out that I spelled Meebles as Meeples. Fixed :) )

They're meebles, not meeples. Also, I think that this would upset rank owners even more, since that would make their donating money to the server not rewarded, but in a sense, punished. That would degrade morale even further and more players would leave Meep.

I was thinking a good way to get people on everyday is to make a daily log in bonus. The daily log in bonus would be the same every day and would vary depending on your rank.
Suggested amounts:
Citizen: 100
VIP: 200
Premium: 300
Exclusive: 400
Elite: 500
Supreme: 600
Ultimate: 700
Legend: 700
OR
Citizen gets a base of 500 or 1000 and then the amount for each rank is determined by multiplying the base by the mini-game win multiplier.
For example, if VIP gets a 1.25x bonus for the win (I think they do) They would earn either 625 or 1250.
OR
Everyone gets the same bonus, which could be 100-1000If over 50% of the people say yes will we add it?
~ @Tweide

This whole idea is dumb and would act negatively on the server.

Meepcraft gets most of its new players through server websites. The voting system is in place so that Meepcraft gets a higher rank on these server websites; therefore leading to more players seeing it and joining.

Adding a log in bonus would distract people from voting as it would be replaced by this new form of income.

Keep coming up with suggestions though, its what Meep needs!

Its still illegal
~ @CasualNuker

why don't you concentrating on not breaking the rules yourself before you criticize other people for breaking them

WhoNeedsJimbo

maybe instead but along the same concept, we could have a command that shows us a chest in an advent calendar type of style, and each day there is a random thing we can get, but we have to log in every day or us miss that day, and at the end of the month we can have a big reward or if it is a holiday month such as Halloween we could have a theme for the rewards we receive, +1 for the idea but as Qazini said it would bring in too much money into the economy, and with what's happening I don't think we want that, considering (In my opinion) I think that's what ruined gamma with the marble trading from legacy.
~ @Vexmae

Rather than meebles I would prefer if we implemented... a SECOND CURRENCY? They should be able to buy exclusive items such as Grappling Hooks, Pets, and notes you would have a VERY low chance of getting from /vote, and you could trade meebles for meeplets, although not vice-versa...?
I feel like this is a bad suggesion I'm making here... :(

I think that this would be as confusing to new players (and old ones) as having 2 economies. I understand what you're getting at, but I think it will do more harm than good in the end. Though I do think that we should have grappling hooks and bushes and such available, I don't believe this is the way to achieve that.

~ @qazini

I edited my post with the correct spelling of Meebles.

I think the point I was trying to make with paying rank owners less, is because Rank owners already get Perks, Citizens don't have. While it might make some rank owners mad that they would be getting less Meebles, I think the amount I was suggesting, would be a whole 25 meebles difference, shouldn't make anyone mad.

But as maxyman pointed out

~ @maxyman

there is the voting system, which gives a potential of 4000 Meebles or more when voting daily. So giving meebles just for logging in is kinda moot anyways.

~ @qazini

You're probably right. I was thinking of a way to bring the two arguments of this thread together. With a way that will get meepers to remove money from the economy, and have a daily log-in bonus system.

I agree that any system of this shouldn't be implemented, it would flood the eco with unnecessary money and keep people from voting. But the point about the ranked players, in your scenario, they would be getting less. I do not think the rank owners will care how much, it would be an offence to their expectations that they are getting less than cits, since they are the ones who support the servers. I am not trying to put across any negative sentiment on anyone, but that's how most ranked players would feel. Also it would discourage people from buying ranks "First they take away most perks, and now this". Please understand that I'm not blaming anyone, least of all the server, in this comment.

TheTastyNacho

This will put too much money into the eco.
~ @qazini

Agreed. The new towns world will become like legacy. The value of money will drastically decrease.

Guys, mojang cannot blacklist us, we are not complying with the EULA, ranks have actual perks

I think that you'll make enough money logging in and doing work like /jobs when the new system is implemented. However, what if this idea can be made into a new user reward cycle. For example, player Bob joins, completes the tutorial, and gets his starting meebles, but then for the next couple days, he also gets a bonus for logging on. It doesn't have to be much, but the idea that the player will get rewarded for coming back can be a good boost to player retention.

~ @builderjunkie012

That's what I'm trying to do here. If players feel like they should log on everyday, they will become more attached to the server and keep wanting to play.

I see that, but i also think that at a point, the money for logging on becomes inconsequential for the average player. It would be nice for new players though.
