Double EXP & Gang Updates

Hello :)

I've got this fabulous idea! How about on special weekends, like this weekend (Valentines Day), we do Double EXP Weekend where you get double exp in all skills (We don't have this yet, its just an idea)? Or perhaps a potion you buy to get double exp? Please let me know what you all think!

Also.. I need some ideas for gang activities! Things for gangs to do, maybe small events or something, to gang gang points to sell in the shop. Tell me any and all ideas please!!

ALSO.. Would it be nice to have a list of who does what in the guild? For example, if someone kicks somebody, it would add it to a history list so the owner or everyone in the gang knows who did what. Same would go for news updates, recruits, etc.

Ideas ideas ideas!! :)

Right now, we want Oasis!!

Not sure if you read this or not but I'll post my ideas here as well and adding on to them in the future. :P

Spoiler

I was wondering if we could add a "Gang Inventory?"
It could be located where the Hours/Members/and News are. I was thinking it could be just like the player inventory (click the button, and it shows all your items) but for the gang.

So let's say your gang has 500 gang points from basing. When you click the gang inventory, it will show all your items including the 500 gang points you guys have in stock. Now, the leader will be the ONLY one who can purchase items. Once he/she purchases an item from the gang shop, it will then show up in the gang inventory for all members of that gang to temporarily use until the leave the gang. Once you leave the gang then you will not be able to use that item anymore.

Also, to prevent abusing leaders and them spending gang currency, there should be a voting system. Not sure how this would work but it could be something along the line of the leader tapping on the item and clicking a tab that says "Voting!" Once the leader sees what the members want to that item then they can either buy it or move on to the next item.

Another thing we could add is spending gang points for an extra gang hat. Could be like a couple thousand points for one of the PREVIOUS gang hats.

Could also add an extra member slot to your gang. However, this deserves a cap since you don't want a gang with 50 slots for people, they would dominate. I was thinking of a 26 or 27 cap. One member can make a difference for your gang. We don't want this out of control.

Also, an idea for the current gang system. We need gang logs. This should be for any gang to see who has been kicked, who edited the news, changed ranks, or just joined the gang.

Possibly buying gang houses with gang points would be a neat idea too.

Now I don't think Ol' West has had any "gang wars" yet, but in the future I'm pretty sure there will be some. So in order to officially make a gang war with another gang you could spend a few points to do so? War is a pricey thing. ;) War could operate by the amount of time one gang gets compared to the other in a weeks time. So the gang that has the most gang hours in that weeks time (just that week, Sunday - Saturday, 7 days) would win the gang points total. So if a gang payed 500 GP for a war, then the other one would have to do it as well. The victor of the war would receive 1,000 GP.

Anyone else can add one as well.

Having a list of who does what in the guild is a great idea. For the gang points we could have something like fortkillers in era but the prizes would be gang points

I'm not sure if it is just me , but does anyone else sometimes have bugs they can't catch for some reason?

Anyway OT:
Yes, this is a way to attract more players to get on.
What if a holiday is on a weekday though ?

Just weekends. (Saturday/Sunday).

Then it would probably be double exp on that day :o
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to choose days.

Wait a month. Check the logs. Find the average amount of players on for that day. Pick the two days that commonly has the most amount of players.

A couple ideas are:
Tomb Raid style dungeons that can drop recipes, hard items to produce great results.
More Bases: Personally, I wish there were more types of bases, right now its just a base, and it is only a tool for gaining hours, but what if there were three types, Outposts, Towns, and Cities, Outposts being like bases are today, meant for smaller gangs, still fun. Towns would be the next tier up, they could be attacked once a day, and would yield resources for the holder. Cities would be siege-able once a week, buildings possibly placed on plots within these allowing the guild to have a home, something that they truly want to defend.

Please don't....... :( :'(

Split gang points into two different currencies. Gang points are earned by doing things together such as defending bases. Solo points are earned for killing enemy gang members outside bases, and perhaps doing certain jobs. Gang points can be spent for gang armory items which anyone can use while on tag, while Solo points can be spent for items in the player's personal inventory, and are permanent.

I am a solo player. I never base with a gang before.

That's actually a really interesting topic. How about we just have one type of gang points, but they're just for solo? Like, anyone who kills somebody in a base while on tag gets a point. Anyone who is in their base, on tag, and holds it straight for an hour gets a point. Etc. (There won't be any leader distributing points or assigning rights for that or anything, it would all be rewarded automatically. This would probably be the most efficient way.)

Yassss Double EXP

Double EXP for special holidays? OR Double EXP EVERY weekend?

Try to keep in mind... More people gaining EXP Quickly means that more people will be MAX LEVEL! It's probably best to not have Double EXP so often so that people don't level up to fast, thus making there be virtually nothing to do when you max out.

(It's probably best not to do double exp every weekend and only special ones or random)

Maybe double exp every OTHER weekend?
