Daily bonus

Post by MrSpock »

A new idea we can introduce to SMR to make people to login more often (or on a regular basis).
It basically is like this:
If a player logs the next day (+24 uo to +48 hours) after last login he gets a small bonus for doing so. If he logs in on the second day he gets another (slightly more valuable) bonus and so on. From 7th day on the bonus will be the same each day.
If the player misses a day it always starts at day 1 next time. The bonus can be dependant on new/vet status (slightly more bonus for newbies)
Bonus can be like: 25% cargo filled of some good for free. A free building on ones planet, a small boost in turns and so on.

I could also imagine to have day 1 bonus category and the actual bonus for day 1 will be drawn by random from that category. Bonusses from day 2 are ofc more valuable than bonusses from day 1 and so.
It favours the players who visit often, yes. But thats exactly what we need and what we want. Each player (if new or old) can get the bonus.

What you think?

I've seen this suggestion used in many other games, and it works with me. Though often I log in just to get the bonus and don't play that day due to time constraints. But I agree that it will help players stay connected to the game.

i like the idea! but i dont like the idea of just random cargo put on your ship, because then it would be an inconvenience for a trader. i just think if you log in you will be rewarded with a lottery of turns.. some day it could be 5 turns or it could be 15 turns..

I think it's a good idea, just balance the rewards so that they're roughly equivalent for each X day, get on it Spock :)

Great idea, requires more clarification though. Moving to discussion.

To the initial feature request an admin function could be made where admins decide which items will be given on each day. List of 7 items, on 8th day it either starts with the first day again or the reward for the 7th day is been given on each consecutive day.
