Self-financing the website

GuyFawkes85about 12 years ago

I've got an idea that could help the site get some money through the tokens.

If I'm not wrong, at the moment, one can only BUY what the website sells for tokens, right? (coloured text, more chances to get a role, etc)

Well, you could allow players who don't want to use something they bought anymore, to SELL it. (for something less, maybe, but that it's up to you) to other users. Let's say I buy "more chances to get bomb". I get achievement, then I keep playing setup with bombs, but get bomb too much and bored of it. Then I can SELL that to somebody else who wants it, and I would receive, if they buy that, X tokens that I could use to buy something else on EM... This would make circulate more tokens on EM.

What do you think?

Guy, once tokens are purchased they're purchased. Being able to give your tokens to other people doesn't help the site at all. It's the second-hand market.

I thought people just don't use enough tokens, this would make people START to use some. If they START, then they can put some money of their's for other things they can buy.

It can be a risk, and go like Dyn said, true. Didn't think about that option.

That's an idea that would make the site LOSE money. Circulating more tokens isn't the problem on the site, it's the fact that not enough real money isn't getting into the admin's pocket.

If you have all these indirect purchases that go for less and give even more tokens to the lot of you, that's making the admin lose money for the things he made for the site. Is that your intention?

This is a bad idea, front and back.
