I'm thinking out aloud

What do you guys think about a membership rewards program? (We're not talking flights on the Concorde here

)

Tell me more, tell me more (wella wella wella huh).

Post by **Vain** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 10:10 am

There's so much

We can have playful rewards like a "shop" type concept where x posts gets you x Land dollars (or whatever) to buy Land stuff (I dunno - top of my head here) So you have a bank and a shop and...

Then we can have tangible benfits like site hosting. Have your own domain name? Want to have it hosted free? With free message board and other gadgets?

Customised titles....it doesn't need to be linked to post totals. We can vote for member of the month - that kind of thing.

Sounds like a great idea!

Post by **Reisheiruhime** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 10:14 am

Wow! Sounds cool.

Any preferences? Alternative suggestions? I'm pie in the sky at the moment

I like this bit :

"We can have playful rewards like a "shop" type concept where x posts gets you x Land dollars (or whatever) to buy Land stuff (I dunno - top of my head here) So you have a bank and a shop and... "

Do that!

We'll have to think of a name for "Land dollars".

Post by **Bannor** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 2:28 pm

white gold dollars?

Post by **Lord Mhoram** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 3:20 pm

Thats a good 1 Bannor! I like it more then Land dollars!

This whole idea sounds good Vain!

Post by **Landwaster** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 8:12 pm

White Gold Doubloons?

Post by **[Syl]** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:54 am

my interest is piqued.

Post by **Vain** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 10:57 am

OK. If you look to the left you will notice there's a Points and a Donate thing.

The points I'll rename to White Gold Dollars or something

At the top there's a link called Bank (no image yet). Click on it to deposit your points into the bank and start earning interest so you can afford all those cool Land things I'm going to be setting up in the shop

Cool!

This is going to be fun!

Post by **Damelon** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:26 pm

Ah. I was wondering what points meant.

Sounds like a good idea.

Post by **kevinswatch** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:27 pm

Hm, sounds interesting, Vain. I guess anything that sparks member-interest is cool. I'm curious what you have in mind for some of these ideas, like what you will be selling in the store. Sounds interesting, though. Let me know if you need any help/ideas from me. Although I'm still a little confused about what exactly you plan to do.-jay

Whooops. I go off at a tangent sometimes

Items you can acquire would be stuff like:

Items
aliantha
amanibhavam
anundivian yajÃ±a
bone-sculpting
caamora
clingor
diamondraught
fire-stones
First Ward of
Kevin's Lore
Gilden
Gildenlode
High Wood
hurtloam
Illearth Stone
Kevin's Lore
krill, the
lillianrill
lomillialor
Melenkurion abatha
orcrest
Power of Command
Ranyhyn
rhadhamaerl
rillinlure
Staff of Law, the
suru-pa-maerl
treasure-berries
Word of Warning
Wraiths of Andelain
Earthpower, the
Earth-Sight
master-rukh
metheglin
mirkfruit
pitchbrew
rukh
setrock
Third Ward
ussusimiel
vitrim
voure
white gold

The list most likely needs refining though and we can do with small smiley sized images for each

Then we need to associate a cost for each. The act of posting increases the white gold dollars you have and that enables you to acquire variuos things. However, we don't just want mindless posting for the sake of acquisition hence the bank to deposit your hard earned cash to earn interest. There's still a bunch of issues to work on like interest rate (what should it be) etc etc

Whew !! Now I'm exhausted

Figured I should add I'm at a business conference for the next few days and wwwless (now there's a new word) so I'll have to catch up upon my return.

Post by **Reisheiruhime** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 12:34 am

wwwless needs to be put in the dictionary.

Post by **Sevothtarte** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 1:04 am

Er ... hope I'm not the only one doesn't truly get it ...

We get points based on how often we post, but don't keep them for ourselves but donate them to others? Or do we put them in the bank? Or ...?

Help!
