Rewards

Hey,
Before people start flaming this thread lol its just a suggestion so hush. Well everyone enjoyed the summer spectacular. What sucks now is habbos boring, no events etc. Maybe in the future something like a rewards system could be introduced?


Basically how it would work is, events all year but instead of getting a prize the and there you would get points, then you could redeem your points for prizes such as..


500points = vip
5 points = 1 rep point
10 points = hc

etcetc

then maybe have a list of habbo furni they could use their points with to redeem. Then again its just a suggestion, something new that might spice up habbox again.

I recently suggested something similar to competitions management:

Perhaps you could introduce a system like Habbo's which involves "honour points". There would be a winner for each individual competition but you could also accumulate these points for a wider competition or quest that runs as an arc through the month. This gives the feeling of a "big" competition and a coherent, consistent competition which ultimately attracts more users than random competitions here and there.

They weren't too keen on my idea specifically because it involved a specific theme each month, but perhaps the prospect of gaining individual points separate to any overall theme remains a possibility I guess, it would perhaps encourage more entries which is something we are always striving toward.

With points, you could give a small prize like a HC sofa, as they sell for 1 cred nowadays, but I like this idea.

However, you could save everyones points at the end of the month, and by PM you could tell them how many points they have accumilated over the month. And the points could start again.
On the other hand, you could still do points, but you could also give the person who won the most points throughout the month a prize for their dedication.

I think there should be a few good prizes, make something actually worth winning :). And you could as Richie said win VIP and REP for the points you win.

If you understand me, because I confused myself a bit! :P

I think this would be a good way to actually use the VIP the Events Department have (seeing as that Saturday event doesn't seem to have occured and I don't think it's worth doing) but it would have to be a first come first serve process. I think a prize should be given (a small rare) as well as points, though. This is far more practical for the Events Dept than the Comps Dept because of the above reasons Garion has mentioned, in both his quote and the message.

I've never been a fan of a points system tbh. Throughout HxSS, there were 'err what's points?' and 'team? im not in any team!' and I think it'd just confuse newbies. Also, a points system would be erratic. 500 points for VIP but as there's a quota, what if too many people get over that which doesn't fit in the quota that management are given. It'd mess up future months and create too much hassle. I just think it'd be so much work with little benefit imo.

Not a bad idea but there are events - you have just been to one!! :P xx

@ Samanthaa - if you sell an Hc for 1c that's a bit silly as they still sell well for 4 on MP making the average 3c.

Oh I noticed that :) but at then end of the day I sell mine for 2c or give them away :D.


Also, what about creating differen't categories, like teams like the HxSS.
Saying you need so many posts on the forum for a different range of prizes. The downside to this is some people may spam the forum like the posting competition.

Also, some people may not want points, so a small rare for newbies and others would be ok?

Don't do categories, don't do teams. Please, it makes the system have more cons than pros. And everyone should receive the small rare otherwise it's just giving a message to EOs that they don't have to give prizes.

It was only a suggestion! :). But at end of the day it's not upto me :D!

I think a better system would be this. You know the Awards system? That will come into play. Everytime you ask for a award you have to request it on the forum, and forum management approve it. Straight away, you can get points for hitting each milestone (like Habbo Pixels actually). That would mean that the Awards system would be better used, and also you could add more milestones to gain more points. Every milestone gives you a certain amount of points, or if you want, it gives you the same amount of points. For Arcade games, you should be given points too, this could work under the supervision of nvrspk4, he makes certain points-approved tourneys & you can join them, & if you win you get a small amount of points. It depends what sort of value we're looking at for each reward.

Now for posting obviously the awards system could cover that, the arcade system could be covered by nvrspk4 quite easily, and well the comps department, they can include in their prize bundle when it usually says 75rep + VIP, they can put an extra prize, which is another small amount of points! Obviously you cant be too generous on the rewards, otherwise everyone will get them pretty fast. For Reputation, I think the best way to do that is to do it through the awards system too, because Admins can see you have a certain amount of rep power on the system anyway, and hey getting an award for it would be pretty cool too.

Big events like Habbox Summer Spectacular and the Habbox Eggstravaganza (sp?), the top teams can earn forum points meaning that people who were in the winning teams or top 3, have an incentive to come onto the forum and earn prizes! Hell, you could make an award where you can get points for having a certain amount of people in one group on HabboxForum, that straight away gives incentive to use the Groups feature.

And obviously you'd get points for the milestone badges that people already have, though for this sort of idea, I think it may idea to do like a 1 month, 3 month & 6 months so users are instantly getting rewarded instead of quite far down the line.

So to recap, like this:

http://www.habboxforum.com/images/aw...ial/arcade.gif You won a points tourney in the arcade! For this you get 20 forum points!
http://www.habboxforum.com/images/aw...rizes/motm.gif You won Member of the Month! For this you get 50 forum points!
http://www.habboxforum.com/images/aw...posts_1000.gif You won a points tourney in the arcade! For this you get 20 forum points!
http://www.habboxforum.com/images/aw...ary/year_1.gif You've been on the forum for a year! For this you get 100 forum points!
http://www.habboxforum.com/images/aw...goldwinner.png You came 1st in a Habbox Event on Habbo.com! For this you get 20 forum points!

Any questions on this?

Oh and an additional note, sorry for the editing here, but the best part of this style that I've proposed is that with the Awards system, you can see which forum members hold that award (Check that HERE). So in terms of keeping it organised, straight away you've got yourself a backup system.
