Hello!

In my other thread we were thinking of some VIP ideas.

Many players suggested the idea of a larger house... which is the purpose of this thread.

Original Thread:

Basically this what the mansion would include:
An entire level/room dedicated to farming.
A fancy outside level.
A spar arena AND a guild spar arena.
Three Large Basic Indoor Rooms.

I have completed the outside level that players will start in.
Levels are attached below.

Now I am working on the inner levels and linking everything together. Will post a video of myself exploring this new house when finished.  

Amazing  

Working on inside atm  

Just a tip, bigger doesnt mean better. I find that I and a lot of other people like smaller rooms, because everybody just puts furniture along the edges, and the middle is a big empty space with just like a carpet. Just my opinion anyway.  

Although this is a cool idea, it wouldn't work.
#1. If they got a mansion for their VIP, that means it would have to be taken away at some point when they run out of their VIP if they do not renew it. That means all their furniture will be gone, their farm as well.
#2 That level is kinda dull, the outside has too many windows which makes it look unrealistic, and the grass part looks kinda empty.
#3 The Guild House is supposed to be the largest house supporting a whole guild, and this is a BIGGER house supporting one person. So it wouldn't make sense for someone to pay $3-4 on a guild house and pay $3-4 on a BIGGER house.

1: This would only create an incentive for someone to re-buy VIP, creating more money for graal.

2: I gave it the "window" look, because well... a mansion has a lot of windows, not to mention I couldn't even find the correct wall tile to match.

3: A guild house is a $5 one time purchase. If buying gralat packs, VIP is about $3 a month. This means that in order to maintain a mansion for a year, you would need to spend about $36, compared to a one time purchase of $5.

Exactly 2 much money to spend and the incentive for vip is already the vip item + colors + the island.  

i think... i like peanutz

also with the "furniture would be gone" no the furniture would still be there but if u didn't update your vip it could just move it all back into inventory. I do think a mansion would be cool but I would also settle for something exclusive at the oasis that is updated, king of like a nexus that updates every month but has no where near the amount of items, just a couple, and you would pay for these but not much, or add some 'exclusive' bugs to the oasis or something exclusive to only the oasis that changes every month so people want to keep buying VIP  

I think you should let the staff (Imprint and Chris) let do these levels once your idea is accepted and being worked on the server because:

- if you do them now you'll waste your time merely
- if you finish them, and the idea gets accepted, they'd need to check ya levels for an corrupt script (lot of hard and boring work)
- if your idea is accepted and being worked on, it's their job to do those levels, not your

woah.. jerk alert. He just made the levels as an example, no need to be a complete jerk about it  

Their house doesn't have to be taken away. It can just be locked until their VIP is active again. Or their furniture could be returned to their inventory. I think it's a great way to get people to buy VIP.  

It's a lot of hard work but maybe this could work the same way a VIP item does a different guild house every month or so  

Kind of a bump...

Can an admin please post here on possible implementation?

If there is a clearance that this is possible I will continue working on this...

Exactly. It also costs a lot of gralats just to make a guild house not look bare.

I'm not so sure about the idea of adding some kind of house for a VIP subscription, but I think the best way would be to add more design options for regular houses and guild houses.

One thing that would be difficult to overcome is what happens when you lose VIP.
