I'm going to let this idea I had a while ago resurface with a poll. In an effort to come up with something that everyone will want to spend gold on...

Level Based Lotteries. The idea being that low levels don't have to compete with high levels swamping the lottery with millions of ticket purchases while high levels have something great to spend gold trying to win. The sketch out is here. Don't pay too much attention to exact level breaks or prizes - but feel free to comment on adjustments.


Lottery 1 - Open to all players level 10 and below. Tickets 25 gold. Prize some nice level 7-10 piece. Maybe Perfect Darmov's armor or Perfect Piercing Blade etc.


Lottery 2 - Open to all players level 25 and below. Tickets 50 gold. Prize some nice level 20-25 piece. Perfect Plague piece (forged?)? Pumpkin set piece?

Lottery 3 - Open to all players level 70 and below. Tickets 100 gold. Prize maybe a GC piece or other Legendary Piece (forged?).

Lottery 4 - Open to all players level 150 and below. Tickets 250 gold. Prize maybe a Baron piece or other Legendary piece (forged?).

Lottery 5 - Open to all players. Tickets 500 gold. Prize Destroyer Piece or other SE piece over level 150 or a Legendary piece (forged?).


The point on Legendary pieces being forged is that they aren't worth much right now. But the idea is to make the prize very valuable. This could be a daily lottery with no ticket limits. I know this would get me to buy tickets for Destroyer items at least and I don't buy a single ticket to the fsp draw.

What say all, is it time to bring the lotteries back but let everyone have a chance to win?

Like the idea in concept but again. lvl 150 and below... Sometimes consider myself newbish.... like leaving my offensive set on when I attack Baron with a group then having to sell the location..... nevermind back on topic.

I'd go with maybe lvl 25 and below
75 and below
150 and below
250 and below
then from there on it should be fine since I think the cap on gold starts 250 though dont' quote me I just know that at some point you stop getting more gold for the higher levels.

Again, as I said to you in last thread on this, all discussion about this is good. And, I'm not married to the levels on this thing or the prices or prizes (though I have a hard time seeing any other prizes that would be worth enough to get the tickets sold).

I did think about your 150 break. But what piece would attract attention over 250 more than a Destroyer Sword? Maybe I just don't know the stuff so well. Wouldn't the high level players be upset at not being able to bid on the Destroyer pieces?And for the lvl 10 and under, thought about how excited a new player would be to win that thing... Prize for them is worth golds not fsp's.

That's all nitty-gritty stuff that can be worked out though.

How about steep items for 250 and below. Steep is lvl 235 but people over won't really like it much. Hmmm... Hunter set is awesome too though cheap right now. Tarbidas sword sells well. Glowing diamond of Kozyu perfect is hard to obtain but one of the best items in the game. ummm... lets see. some other ideas. Some lottery only items maybe that focus on defense rather than damage? And of course Doublerx10/fi 1000/ew 1000/wither 350/ maybe even a SES potion all would be good options for the 250 or a Uber potion that has two or three of these skills. So you get FI 1000, EW 1000 and wither 350 in one potion. That would be a quick gold sink.

Anyway these would be my ideas for the lvl 250 lottery. So while those over 250 can't really bid on the steep items they can still pay in the lottery to win destroyer items. and steep isn't really effective in the high 200s but is very effective below that.

Though to be honest I really don't know a good lvl breakdown. i really do like the idea I just don't know what level ranges would really be fair and what items would go well at those levels.

I'm not going to comment as of yet. I'm in a rush, however just one thing, could you put a neutral option within your poll.

One that just states: "I rather like the over all idea with some changes"

Something around those lines. And obviously people will state the changes. Thank you, not very important but quite when one can't make their mind up though slightly agree with the idea if it had changes. Nyazu~

I'll go back tonight and change it if it seems I need to. I kind of intended the second one as that. Yes, idea is good - but specifics aren't what I want.

we need a real lottery back. not this click on 1 of 4 gods to pray to and hopefully not get one of them. or hopefully win ONE fsp with the prize draw *cough*

something needs to keep the low levels playing. and winning a lottery they can only join will help alot more then a regular lottery.

whats the deal with giving...not even giving but rewarding fsp through a lottery. why horde all those purple orbs hcs? you had a good lottery going before all this temple/prizedraw. just had to make it level based. or just give a lottery to every player under level 100.

steep can be used for 75 levelsplus so above 250 people will still be interested in it

Also, steep is a great item to sell or to donate to your guild.

I would totally buy these tickets. I also do not buy tickets for the current fsp draw. So for me this idea is a big YES :D

I like the idea, but I think that there should be more level choices, including one for all players, and different types of lotteries, like maybe one for items, one for fsp, and one for pvp combat moves.
