Best Posts in Thread: New voting currency

Change voting currency from meebles to its own custom currency that you can use to purchase exclusive items that can only be gained with the voting currency. Many players do not vote for the same reason they don't player Minigames and that is because there are better ways to get meebles and they look at voting for 8k not worth the effort and not very appealing (me being one of those players). But if it was made so you had to vote to gain this voting currency than they would be forced to vote. This will also increase voting on the server which will in turn increase player count (which should be a top priority).

Example: Each site you vote for gives 1 vote point. So everyday you can earn up to 4 vote points.
Make custom exclusive (not the rank) items that can be purchased for vote points giving players a reason to vote everyday. You could also make common items as lower rewards for voting like a diamond block for 4 points or an enderman spawner for 8 points etc.

 

What about the people who vote to keep their towns up?

 

I still think the random notes and chance at 5k 10k 25k and 50k meebles should stay the same.

I would get data on why people are not voting, instead of finding ways to force them to vote. When I did my surveys and had hundreds of replies, we gained valuable data, and players saw some change they wanted to see.

This is MeepCraft's issue, they consistently try to force behavior, rather than motivating people to do things.

Want more votes? Get more players.

Want more players? Ditch this stupid mini-game crap and all the lost and wasted investments made towards that nothingness and go back to the proven success MeepCraft had before.

 

So, because its not worth voting for YOU then its not worth it for every single player?

8k pays for a fairly large town a day on top of the vote bonuses which could contribute to players towns, not everyone wants some exclusive item

dunno how you can think 56k a week (248k a month) (plus bonuses) for doing something that takes a couple of minutes is nothing

 

I see a few issues with this:

1) You're forcing your towny players to play mini-games, this is bad because it's removing people from the game-mode they join, and donate for - Towny. You should be moving mini-game players to towny.

2) You're forcing your customers (some high paying) to do an activity for the benefit of the server. My gas station doesn't force me to leave a yelp review to get gas. How is forcing your customers good for business? When I played I rarely voted because I didn't want to take the time. Isn't spending hundreds of dollars enough?


--- The better option is to focus voting to towny, as I'm sure people who vote for town upkeep would appreciate it. Figure out with data why people are not voting now, and fix that problem, not invent some hassle-filled fluff to make it look cooler.

Most importantly: Don't force your customers to do work to get special items.

People are not voting for a reason. The solution is to find the reason and solve the issue. The solution is not to force players into behavior one wants, because they will not react that way.

A good portion will not vote simply because of the apparent attempt to force them to do so, and another good portion will simply just buy this currency with meebles.

How long has it been since the free rank was given out for voting?

 

I like you . I like this.
