Rewards

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.

Nooo you're not getting me. I'm saying, once you hit 500 points you get a prize, then hit 1000 you get a prize, then hit 1500 you hit a prize, then on 2000 youd get a prize again (which would be the first prize you got at 500)! Like the Habbo Club rotation basically! I mean could do it the way you're describing, give the users more choice over what they can redeem, I like that and everything. I was just trying to make it simpler for you guys haha, but if youre not bothered then yeah sure!

So.... yeah I get you though, 1000 points for VIP, use your 1000 points exchanged but theyre still on the system as 1000, but obv it'd be recorded. Then when you hit 1500, it's actually -1000 cuz of the points you've already used. GOTCHA

I think exchanging would be better because then it somewhat limits the amount of prizes given out, rather than every user getting a prize at X points if you get me.

[kk.]

How would you implement that though? Would you put something in the user it like:

Points: 1500 (1000)

Where the one in brackets is what they've redeemed or something. I dunno if you can add a field onto the user bit that just admin can edit, and then put it there? Not sure what's possible on vB

i'm gonna be honest, i'm a bit simple, but i am confused beyond confusion.
this seems a little complicated for new users.

[Pyroka]

Beth, it's simply the planning stages here It's gonna be confusing at the moment, however as Oli gets more understanding of it, I think he'll be able to phrase it better and make it look simpler for forum users

Sounds like a shop system designed to work with a reward system. They're quite good ideas but it depends what's on offer, as a limited selection of "VIP", name changes, title changes and so forth are small and not that useful. The usual rewards tend to suffice, and maybe give a months VIP as a gift to go alongside such a reward? Tell me if that's not what you're on about

I think the option of a name change would be pretty awesome actually! But yeah, stuff like that plus Habbo variations of each offer as well. VIP is sought after though, so they cant give it away willy nilly. I mean maybe if you hit a certain point you could get 3 months VIP instead of 1 month, buttt I get it's at the discretion of Forum & General Management innit. But yeah I said to Garner about a shop system, but he said that wouldnt be available on the forum at this time. It can easily be worked with what HabboxForum has now anyway, just it's a bit more manual thats all.

But yeah I think you got the general jist of it.

Shop systems are fun, I had one on a forum I worked on ages ago, but this forum isn't the sort to off an evil shop, where you can edit a user's name, title and avatar to anything temporarily Credit cards are fun to work too, but that's pretty advanced stuff. You could do name colours too, but that depends if it encroaches VIP :/
