Voting Rewards

[Anonymous]

Yesterday i logged in to UOGamers Hybrid to see if my houses had fell when I saw that they had made a new really cool new feature, which was when a person double clicked on a *Vote For Hybrid* stone (one in every major bank) that you got a reward for double clicking the stone (75% chance of 10k check and 25% of a blessed shirt name Voter or something) (which opend up your web browser with all the tabs for the voting sites). If you look in all the voting sites UOGamers Hybrid is NO.1 on all of them with about a 1000 votes. I think if we implemented this feature on UOValor then it will give players a reason for logging on then voting for UOValor which will then increase the chance of getting new players. Instead of checks and a crappy shirts you should do a certain chance of getting *special items* like maybee two 30% of getting a arty with the same amount of *worth/specialty* of maybee a tokuno stealable and maybee two 15% chance of getting something thats a bit better and then two 5% chance of getting something thats even more better (these are just ideas of reward).

Please consider this i think its a great idea.

Something to think about to boost the voting. We do want to make it easier to vote for the server and something automatic in game that can be done frequently is not a bad idea. As long as the main focus is actually voting for the server and not about trying to obtain items. Any item that drops would be a token of appreciation and maybe a chance at a special item, but nothing incredible. I think it would be best to base it on repeated voting rather than chance so continued voting would earn you a better reward.

This would be way too easy to abuse though. I've considered it.

I meant to say you can only do this once a day.

Even then, there's no way of knowing if the person actually voted. The only thing I could do is make it open the vote page, at that point there's no way to know what the user did.

The people that still play UOValor are dedicated to it, their not just some random people. Who would be stupid enough just to close down the tabs? I would think that all the people that play would want more people so they Would vote.

I think the main purpose here is to create a means where voting can be done a lot easier and more conveniently, with a reward to attract the hesitant players and to give an incentive to vote each day. Loyal players will vote for gaining more players but the more players you can attract to actually voting, the better it will be on the whole.

It's worth taking a look at to see if there's a benefit to the server and the players, then from there we can add new features and incentives.

Oh yeah the voting stones are not a problem (thought I had added some already but maybe I removed them until revamp, I forget). But I just don't think giving a reward would work without it being abusable. At least, I really can't think of a way it could potentially be tracked and be fool proof.

Guess what I could do is have goals set, where if we get NN votes on each site, THEN the reward is given, so it would be a team effort though that still does not stop people from using the stone but not voting. Something to think about though.
