Me and my faction mates came up with this idea for perfect world international. We thought that P.W.I. should have there own coin lottery. it goes like this, every day you can log in and get a lottery ticket from any elder from the 5 major city's, (City of Plume, City of the Lost, Etherblade City, City of the Raging Tides, and Of course The City of Archosaur) the tickets them self's would cost 2.5k and you can play up to 2 times per day maximum. Now the way that you get the coins is simple.

Say if i bought 2 tickets( 5k coins ) and i was the first person to purchase
Those tickets
The lottery will save my ticket #. (ex: 1 and ticket 2 = 2)
when sombody eles buys a ticket They get a #(ex: ticket 3)
now the jackpot is up to 7.5k Beacuse i bought 2 ( 5k ) and they bought 1
Knowing how millions of people play PWI
There will be a vast ammount of coins in the jackpot
if everybody plays the lottery...
At the end of each week the ticket # will be called at random
And the person with the right #
Will Win all the coins!!!
So for example..
Since i bought only 2 Tickets
And i was the first person to buy them
My ticket # would be 1 and 2
If my # is called I Win the 7.5k
By the way you can play 2 Times a day
Do the Calculation
Pretty sweet Huh?? b:victory



Well thank you for listening and Hopfully a GM will read this and take it into consideration.
Tell me what you think about the Perfect World International Lottery.

    ''Millions'' of people is a bit exaggerated I think, it's probably less than 100k people actively playing nowadays.

    Still the idea is nice, since the developers are desperate for coin sinks apparently (*cough*TW*cough*) they would probably make it like half of the total amount of coins for the winner and the rest vanishes.

    Sometime last year, there was a lottery that was allowed on each server (Or maybe one, I'm not sure)
    The person responsible had permission from eatwithspoons (The current CM at the time)
    People on whatever server would send a specific character coins, and they'd be mailed a number.
    After however long, a number was chosen, and the winner won X amount of coins.
    It was really fun, and even became a popular thread and a sticky on here.
    Sadly, I don't remember all the details. Some of mine may even be off.

    Belongs in suggestions, but it is quite a good idea.

    Instead of twice a day, make it unlimited. 2.5k a ticket is good. And sink half of the coin total and award the other half to the winner. Would be a very nice coin sink.

    We do this in-faction. One person collects 100k from everyone who wants to participate. Every friday or saturday he draws a random name from those submitted, and they win the money and something he throws in himself.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Sometimes being factionless sucks. QQ

    I miss faction contests. :(
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    Being factionless is better than being in a horrible faction.
