The meso bank!
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 4:23 pm
So! As some of you may know, we have a meso bank.
[http://www.mapleanime.com/bank]
Basicly, in the bank, all the meso you loose when gambling ends up.
There's several thoughs about what todo with the bank.
I'd like to present a couple of them, beginning with one of mine.
So, my suggestion is that the bank will give a random person gambling, at any time, a .5% chanse of winning 1 million, which is then subtracted from the bank.
Then, the prize will be locked for 24hours. The prize could vary depending on how much the community looses by gambling per day, because I want it to progress forward so that it's got at least 120% of the lost 1million back after 24hours.
Then, as the bank reaches certain amounts of meso, we could host events.
An example of the event could be doubled prizes when winning. ( Eg. If you gamble 50k you'd only loose 50k like normally if you fail, but win at least 200k ( instead of 100k, which you'd do normally if you won ).
This would also mean that if you gambled 10k and got the *5 prize, you would win 100k instead of 50k.
-------
Another suggestion would be having a jackpot. Basicly, at a REALLY small percentage ( Maybe 0.05%? ) a lucky gambler could win all the meso from the bank.
A problem with this is that if somebody who barely gambles gets it, they could holdonto it for a while and keep 1st place, and the bank would have to build up again with help from the people with less money.
But this could also give people motivation to gamble meso like crazy ;P
-------
Another thing worth mentioning is that since the meso system is still in a beta phase, there's more content comming to it, which might have use for the bank.
So. Please leave your thoughs about theese two ideas, and post your own ones!
