Hi,
First I would like to say that I am a very proud Monria Born player and that I decided to be Monria Born after a lot of research mainly due to Monria offering the Sweat Purchase Program as described here.
Thank you very much @Gatekeeper and @RosaRaine Buns .
You both made all the difference and made me want to stick to the game!
A bit of background that prompted my suggestion:
Due to my own Time-Zone constraints I'm usually unable to meet neither @Gatekeeper nor @RosaRaine Buns during the work-week (they are online either when I'm sleeping or when I'm at work - sometimes both!).
As a result of that and of myself being a swunter by heart I often find myself accumulating high amount of sweat for long periods of time without the ability to sell it to either one of them (per the program constraints I can sell only 3K sweat per day that I actually meet one of them - which usually translates to 6-9K sweat per week due to my Time-Zone issues).
Having this issue I thought that it might be a good idea to suggest that the Sweat Purchase Program will be turned into a daily quest that will be available only to Monria-Born players.
Roaming this forum I encountered this thread which suggested adding a daily quest for converting sweat for universal ammo.
My suggestion:
I think combining the two ideas together will be a great idea.
We can have a NPC that offers a daily quest (reset every midnight MA time) which prompts the player to give him exactly 3K sweat and in return gives the player 6 PED of Universal Ammo.
The quest should be limited to Monria Born players (you can check if the player has Monria Born shirt in his items for example if you don't have another way to know) and should have weekly "budget" that will display "out of budget - come back on the 1st of next month" message to the players where applicable.
If you decide to go with this idea then you get the following benefits:
1. Monria Born players can sell 3K sweat every 24 hours only on Monria soil and regardless of their time-zone.
2. No Monria Born player will be able to sell more than 3K on the same day (for example 3K to @Gatekeeper and another 3K to @RosaRaine Buns assuming he met them both when they weren't online together) - unfortunately I did that when I didn't know I wasn't supposed to - I'm very sorry about that! won't happen again!!!
.
3. Monria Born players will be encouraged to use the Universal Ammo to hunt\mine on Monria (instead of getting the peds and buying something in Calypso AH for example) which in turn will increase Monria profits from their hunting\mining activity taxes (those players can still sell the loot they get from Hunting using the universal ammo in order to buy whatever they wanted from Calypso AH).
The only MAJOR down side I can see for this suggestion is that I won't talk to @Gatekeeper and @RosaRaine Buns as much![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
That concludes my suggestion for today.
Thank you very much for everything!
**EDIT**
PS
I'm a software developer by profession and I implemented similar quest on another open source MMO server in the past.
I'm not familiar with the API nor the limitations imposed on Monria from server\coding aspects but I'm more than happy to brain-storm if needed.
