How about a building in Eldevin City being used as a casino? This could be full of different card games or other mini games. This gives all players an opportunity to kill some time if they're not interested in doing anything else or even making some quick gold/ep. I think if the gambling is controversial we could just have a card house where players gain points, new achievements, or some vanity/items for winning.

Been mentioned in other threads, HCS do not have permission to implement gambling.

Permission? Would they need to put an age restriction on the game or is it all up to Hoof?

Someone made a post months ago about it and asked if it was ok. I can't quote the response because thread got locked so copy and paste...

Though your idea doesn't sound so bad. But I don't think HCS will ever allow it.

What about just a friendly card house? Or recreation area and you could win/buy decks of cards from the shop or vanity packs and just play different games without any currency being bet. Or you could do something where there's nothing at stake and players don't gain anything from it.

it's up to the gambling laws in the UK

[Irradiated]

An alternative that has been suggested before is mini-games (only after key features are complete).

 

Add small, multi-player games such as darts (taverns already have a dart board), pool, table shuffleboard, etc. to the taverns.  Players could have a little fun competing rather then standing around in the street.

 

No prizes.  Just a little bar entertainment on the side.  There could be a minor fee (I'm thinking 50s per player per game) as a small gold sink.  Perhaps even add a jukebox (although I can already see some issues implementing this).

Reroll on items for 250ep is gambling

[redsmokeboy]

Key words game of chance.

Game of chance - AKA  not game but chance gain - Champions chest - Elemntal chest - Newest event cash grab keys PAy with EP chance Grind for day's get 1 key for chance on item.

 

defined game of chance as, See sevral refance to game of chance as is.

Rerolling new item's 250 EP Pop not cheap - chance roll out come this not labled as game of chance reroll for chance roll ?

like slot machine, press button see out come not sure how this not conisder gambling when pay real money AKA EP Virstual cash based on real money.

 

Other refance to game of chance then agin this mmorpg limited refance line to meaning what is legal MMORPG range.

Most law's would be defined under UK where game based from. some over sea's - Legal matter's formost part come down tio UK law's what is ok or not.

 

Over all, any cassino - card's game - darts - probly would not come in game any time soon based on what devs have stated, consider gamblin game's diferent legal terms.

Then normal game of chance MMORPG many use.

 

Old thread but this revalent subject context based on dev's respons.
