Warp Count

Hello,

Here I am again with a suggestion. I have no clue at all if this suggestion could cause arguments or huge competition or so, but it's worth a shot at least sharing my idea with the players, to know whether they would agree/like the idea or not.

The thing is quite simple (might be not as simple as it sounds to actually add it): Add a warp count to warps. By this I mean, how many times players have warped to a warp. There wouldn't be a use for this on private warps, so perhaps only let the warp count show up on public warps.

The advantage(s) of this would be that, before warping, or when just having warped to a shop, players would get a view on how many times it is visited, thus how good of a shop it is. So basically, 'warp popularity'.

This would show up in the public warps tab in the GUI (a new title on top and then in the table, the number of times that warp has been used) and also below the warp owner on 3D warps (the warp orbs when 'Show warps' is on).

Let me know what you think of this suggestion.

Thanks,

~ Rob.

This seems like a good idea when looking at shops to look at and other warps. I would like to this one added. :D

That is a great idea. Good going Rob. But you shouldn't add a warp to list the warps by popularity, or make any way to find the most popular warps on Craftland. Think of it in this light:
-People look for a shop to buy stuff.
-They want to buy at a good shop, so they search warps by popularity.
-As the #1 warp gets more popular, the others get less popular.

No new shops would be able to start up because all the players would look for shops by popularity, not player shops or the warp list.
Amazing idea. But the warp count should be unable to search, and you should only get to see the count when you arrive at the warp.
I like the idea.

Exactly, alltho this is a neat idea, im basing my intentions off of what lumber said cause as of today, the wealthy continue to get wealthier putting smaller shops out of business with no money so this, unfortunately, would make this go over the top.
srry but -1

I think this is am amazing idea, with player shops tab added it would counteract the influence a popular warp has, it would allow places like /warp greycliff, /warp newworld, /warp repair shop, etc. to be more accessible to new players.

I agree to the things the people above nick said.

As Lumberlord mentioned, it would be awesome just to see the count when having warped there.

However, I have a few more ideas:
- Warps with a higher warp count will appear closer to the top of the list.
- Instead of counts, make players able to rate warps. The higher the rate, the more on top of the list.
