Suggestion:
I know vmr is in the early stages, but the point system only caters to a select group of players and isn’t inclusive enough to generate enough involvement which could be a bad thing.
An example would be players who aren’t in it for the money but the ability to accomplish something. I would propose a rank system that could be purchased with VMR money as it it accumulated or allow points to be purchased for VMR towards the medal. Almost a leveling up so to speak. You start as a runner and move up based on the VMR money you get. The medal is fine and all but it’s more of a mini game right now based on grinding. If VMR is going to be a long term situation then there needs to be an incentive for players who will stick to it but not have the time to grind to win any points. I’m happy with just being recognized for what I do in the time I have to play. I think others would be as well.
Reason:
I believe it’s an easy tweak. It would give more incentives for players to play long term instead of quitting because they feel there isn’t any chance they make top 10 for that week. You could still award medals and ECD based on points and what not. This will give all players a chance to work towards something.
Other Information:
Ranks could be any level and have cool tags..
Runner...beginner...novice...expert...etc. ok bad example but you get the picture. They would be based on set levels of VMR money collected and could be automatic (plugin) or done through an application process. Maybe even award ECD for each rank or other incentives/rewards that can transfer to the main server. I also think the ability to purchase points with VMR would be good
Link to this plugin/Is this a custom addition?:
Doesn’t have to be but I’m pretty sure there some code you can write into the tag system for ranks... at least there was at one point. Jamie always need more work to do.... ;) Would be neat for it to auto change your ranks based on the money accumulated.


Anyway there is a lot that could be done with this. I know it creates more work for you guys but I am worried that if this stays more and more will be put off and only a certain group will do it. The more inclusive it is the more will play VMR and make it better.

 

It’s the whole week to week that kinda bothers me. I think VMR should become a more permanent alternative to the main server. Not saying we shouldn’t reset the world but the achievements and ranks should remain. I love the point system and medals... but again I don’t have the time to grind. Maybe points should be awarded based on the VMR amount you accumulate.

Great to hear more is coming though. Thanks

 

Honestly it’s because many of those players were grinding at a rate many can’t compete with so most just gave up and left. I feel this ultimately ruins the whole idea... I was on a lot yesterday and the most players in VMR at one time was 3-4. For this to be any real fun it’s needs to be much higher. I also think the world is way too big. Make it smaller so there is more player interaction and risk.
