Voting
Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2017 1:21 pm
A similar suggestion was made around 7 weeks ago about overhauling the voteshop. This suggestion is to do with that as well as methods of reminding people to vote or to get them to vote more often. I am making this suggestion because voting helps any server, whether it's modded or not, get more recognition on the server lists, making it easier to find and more worth peoples time. We all know you've been there before, looking for servers and completely ignoring the last few pages because you deem them not worthy of your time because simply put "Why should I play it if no one votes/likes it?" I personally believe Craftland is an amazing server with a lot of potential, but was a lot more fun with more players online (also achievements, we need more of those ). Without more players, half of the shopchests are also obsolete since a lot of people who play is either AFK-Farming or owns everything.
Friendly Reminders
- Whenever a user logs in, ask them to vote as one of the messages when they log in.
- Every hour or so, at the top of the screen, if the user hasn't voted on at least 3 sites, remind them with a simple "Please remember to /vote for us" for about 20 seconds. It may seem like a form of begging, but the server does need votes in order to increase the amount of newer player influx.
- Another option could be to add an auto broadcaster in chat to remind people to vote if they again, havn't voted on at least 3 sites.
Additional Prompts/Rewards
- Whenever a user votes, add in a random chance system for a bonus reward. The rewards would have to be tempting with something like a potential rare spawner, perfect diamonds, white point stars etc.. When someone does win one of these things, the chat would broadcast "USERNAME just won ITEMNAME for voting using /vote". Again, this seems needy for votes, but we need them.
- Add in a voteshop UI instead of a warp and make it maybe emit a glow or have a different colour to the rest of the buttons to make people want to press it if they havn't already seen it before. The voting system needs more recognition and needs to be used more.
- Within the voteshop, add a daily item. Making people want to save up their votepoints to see the next rare daily item. This daily item could be a rare spawner at times, a vote-exclusive piece of armor/tool, white point stars (Please, I need them damn stars >.<) etc..
- I was also thinking about changing a few prices and adding a few things.
Perfect Diamond 300pts -> 180pts
Coloured Aercloud (4) 20pts -> 14pts
Spider Head 230pts
Grey Point Star 5pts
White Point Star 9pts
I would also like to take this moment to ask you to please vote for the server when you can. Voting may not give you too many in game rewards, but it gives the server the reward of being more easily recognised by the server lists, which in turn, leads to more newer players finding out about the server (Yes, it's not a quick process, but it does add up.. Just having one additional player vote everyday is another 30-31 votes on every vote site).
