Rewards

[immense]

Yeah, I really like this idea and it should definitely be integrated with the awards system. They could go up in levels, like if you win one event you get the level one award. Then for level two you need to win 3 events. 7 for level 3 etc. Once you have won like 50 you could have a really cute award/badge and maybe get 50 reputation points. I think it would mean more people went to events. Everyone wants something to achieve and aim for and giving people material goods once they accomplish something is always going to work with a teen audience.

It's taking Habbo's way of rewarding people with Pixels, but making those Pixels that Habbo give out, a bit more worth something isn't it. Could teach the Habbo world a thing or two in rewarding user loyalty haha.

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:

You won a points tourney in the arcade! For this you get 20 forum points!
You won Member of the Month! For this you get 50 forum points!
You won a points tourney in the arcade! For this you get 20 forum points!
You've been on the forum for a year! For this you get 100 forum points!
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.

Quite a good idea actually Ryan and I ***THINK*** there's a points system integrated in the awards system which we don't use.

I will take a look at it a bit later on and try and get in touch with Roxy (who is jointly responsible for the Awards with me as obv I'm not clued up on the habbo stuff) and see what we can come up with.

Sounds like a very good idea that Ryan. Would be nice to try and get something like this implemented!

Quite a good idea actually Ryan and I ***THINK*** there's a points system integrated in the awards system which we don't use.

AdminCP here we go in regards of "think there's a point system".

I just did some snooping around on the YAAS site (the awards addon basically), the version HxF has does feature a points system, however the forum must run MySQL 5.0+ if it's to work. I don't know whether you run that or not... but yeah.

Plus if you were to do this, would there be an option to see how many points people have earned in either their userbit or on their profile?

Yes it works as I've tested it this afternoon and yes you can see it on their profile

Oh my god awesome! All you'd need to do is think of what sort of prizes would be given, at what sort of prices in terms of points, and well yeah! I'm just trying to think, would you be able to put points to zero once they've used them for a feature? I dunno.

I've thought about that too No we wouldn't be able to reset them but we can keep a record of when people exchange points for prizes

Mainly prizes will be Rep, Donator & VIP although all prizes have a habbo equivalent

And would people be saving up their points from awards for certain prizes yeah? Or would they get different awards everytime they go up in points scale, so they get a taste of different things? Like so people aren't constantly getting 15+rep from 10 points everytime they get 10 points? (using 10 as an example btw).

Also you could do it so when they get to a certain amount of points, like when they get the top amount, it goes back onto the first round... Alot like Habbo Club does, goes from HC, then after that it just rotates... Well, it used to.

Yeah the rotating thing sounds good, although it'll be quite hard to reach the top prize

The prizes will be staggered and then you can exchange your points for a prize however once you exchange you start again, so the longer you wait & build up more points the better prize you get, it depends what you want really, we haven't fully drawn it up yet but say 500 points is 50 rep points, 1000 points is VIP, if you wanted VIP you would have to wait until you had 1000 points, exchange them and then your total will still be 1000 but your exchange total will be recorded as 0, so if you then decide you want 50 rep, you then get 1500 points (500 points on exchange total) you can exchange it for that.

I hope that makes sense.
