Blame my long commutes for my random ideas As we have seen over the years, there are quite a few meso sinks in the game, from potion costs, telerocks, taxes, to chair gachapon But these are operational costs and cosmetic items without an expiry. But even then, the mages farm on to constant pump more raw mesos into the server, just to fund attackers to get ever increasing damage - the circle of life in royals. So i had a rather perculiar thought If damage is the goal of most players How do we get players to sink mesos HARD for more damage? If apples/ high attack pots are sold in NPCs, they will just kill content in the game, and thats pretty bad. If rentable weapons that rival perfect equips are available, thats bad too So, why not have a stackable equip, much like christmas, where there is an item stat stacks ontop of your pendant or something, And you get STRONG(er) for a limited period of time. But heres the catch, instead of everybody being able to buy/rent this stackable equip at a fixed rate, they will have to more or less bid for it The proposal Donate mesos to the donation box next to dalair for the stackable item Donation amount and leaderboard is hidden Top 50-200 donor gets 1WA 5MA for 1 week Top 1-49 gets 3WA 15MA for 1 week Top 20 donors per fortnight get a special 5 WA 25MA for 2 weeks Top 10 donors per month gets 10WA 50MA for 1 month Top donor per 6 months get 20WA 100MA for 6 months The social mechanics that should drive this janky idea If nobody donates Some random player can just throw 10k mesos and be like oh wow i get 3WA stackable for next week, cool End game players can just throw 500k for fun and sees what happens - "nobody donates lol", gets 3WA ez Then the next week it gets known that some people are throwing small amounts to get the stackable Round 2 attempt to throw 500k results in nothing, cuz somebody be pushing it to 750k, still low, nothing to worry about Round 3, lead amount to 2mil, predicting each other to throw ~1.5mil Round 4, loser see that 1.5mil is not enough, decides to throw 5mil and see how that fares, winner may try to predict 2mil again/ up the game Cycle the snowballing until the community plateaus at a certain limit, i don't think 1b per week just for a temporary 3 WA boost is worth it, but for 1 month, throwing 1b for 10 WA for 1 month sounds like it could be appealing to some Imagine getting 20WA for 6 months all because 100k mesos was thrown in Would be a top tier omegalul moment
