Game Room! - Please, tell me what you think..

grenadiermeg

I was recently thinking about this in-game and thought this would be a wonderful idea for the game.

A "Game Room"!

There will be 2 modes you can enter once you talk to an NPC called,"Game Master" at "Dreamweaver Port" that gives you the options: "Normal Mode" - "Gamble Mode". But please, before you think,"This already sounds ridiuclous" and leave the page, give me a chance to explain!

**(Normal Mode) - There will be an NPC "Game Master" (Maybe? Lol.) you can talk to where it teleports you into a big room with targets on the wall, tables for chess/checkers, playing cards, an UNO type of game, Connect 4 types, etc. You can click on any of the items to play that certain game. For example...Let's say you want to play Chess with someone. You click on the "Chess Table" and you enter an "Available Players (Chess)" list. While you have that list on your screen, you can highlight and choose who to play against so long as they're in the same game list and send them an invite in that same window to play against you. The other player must accept for both players to be able to play. If it's denied or not answered, there will be a pop-up message saying,"This player does not wish to play that game with you at this moment." or something.

(I know it sounds kinda like a ********* thing but that's not what I had in mind at all when I thought of this.) It gives other players something to do when they're bored with friends and it's be a nice little "hype" for a while for bored players, or just players that want to hang out.

**(Gamble Mode) - After you choose "Gamble Mode" you will have another warning pop-up on your screen asking if you're sure you want to enter "Gamble Mode" before you enter the big room (To save PWI the trouble of little children sending in pointless tickets saying,"I lost my money gambling! I didn't know I was in gamble mode blah blah!" And you can tell them the system gave them TWO warnings. One on the NPC in the chat and one after they chose "Gamble Mode"). Anyway...After they enter Gamble Mode, normal invites can be sent to players in game lists but after they accept the invite, another small window pops up where they can enter how many coins they would like to bet or drag an item into a box within the window to submit it into the "Betting Table" then the selected game would begin. After a player has won a bet, they can go to an NPC called,"Collection Agent" to retrieve the items they bet and the items they won from the other player.

***There is also a benefit to the PWI company I thought of***!

There can also be "Game Points"! Every game likes to have new idea's brought to them, yes and let's admit, they always want to add something that can cost the players to buy gold. It's just the way business works. So I will begin explaining this further. I figured PWI would want to make some kind of benefit for benefiting us. (You scratch my back, I scratch yours. And so on and so forth.) So I thought "Game Points" would be an excellent addition to this idea. The "Game Points" can be earned for participating in games with just players in general. 1 Game (Completed) = 1 Point. There can be a "Rewards Manager" NPC that can exchange your points for a reward. 500 pts to 50,000 pts for a reward like a mount, fashion, etc. How this would benefit PWI company is that I also though of adding "Game Packs" that are permanently in the Boutique costing maybe 1 Gold each(?) that give the players certain amounts of "Game Points" Maybe 1 Gold = 35 or 55 pts.(?) Or there can be "Small Game Packs" & "Big Game Packs" Small give 35 pts. for 60 Silver and 55 pts. for 1 Gold. (The more you spend, the better the benefit to players.) Again..It's the way of the business.

There will also be rules to the "Game Room" that can go two ways.

*PG-13 way*

- There will be no bets or gambling on games.
- Trading or squadding to drop-trade will be disabled in the instance.
- Any record of payment/trade for gambling can result in ban/temp ban from "Game Room". (?)

(Don't really like the idea of PG-13 way as there could always be someone trying to make money out of it, even if the following rules were applied.)

*Adult Way*

- Gambling is allowed with betting of items/coins. (ONLY in the Game Room.)

*As for wondering if someone DC's during games in the "Game Room"...I was thinking the game would end and what ever both players bet will be returned to them and the other player and they may collect it from the "Collection Agent."


I hope you like this suggestion as I've spent hours typing this lmao. And my hands hurt so I'm going to stop. O.o Let me know what you think, please!

It has merit if this were a different type of game... but as things are, not so much. The gains are incredibly minimal and the idea is... well... something friends can do on Skype or the like anyways.

One of the biggest problems is this would be a nightmare to try and fit into the current game engine. Any "games" would have to be incredibly simple to fit the game or so heavily modified that it wouldn't be worth it. And that would be assuming our devs were good. Our current devs being so... well... horrible makes this even harder to try and consider occurring here.

Lol pg13 and adult way... good luck to know people age.
There's already gambling in pwi and it's call pack.
If i want to play to Monopoly i'll go play Monopoly.
Pwi is a game, why want to put game inside the game?

No need to have an attitude about it..

It's called suggestions so I made one.

I suggested it because there are a lot of people in the game that stand around and do nothing but talk to friends all day. But that can only go so far for an hour or so. Like I've mentioned, it might be a source of more money for PWI and something to do for a while for players. Plus it can give them something else to work toward via Game pts.

I understand where you're coming from with it for another type of game. I was just thinking that would be a really cool add-on to the game for people who have nothing to do but wanna play and hang out instead of just standing around and doing nothing but typing. (Not all but most I know, at least). I know and see too many ppl not knowing what to do from high lvl or just not in the mood to do the regular PW thing.
