One hour Meta Talisman/Relic//Pet EXP boosts.


200%/hr for 100 donation coins.
400%/hr for 500 DC.
1000%/hr for 1000 DC.

No explanation needed here. Meta gains are (understandably and reasonably) slow as fuck. People will pay you cash money to reduce their farming time. With a giant smile on their face. Win/win.

You might be thinking, "hey those figures aren't really a bulk discount." You're right. It's a time discount. The value is correlated to time/silver, not exp/silver. Most of us, including and especially @Shane , understand that time is the most valuable asset in an older mmorpg like this.

If server revenues don't double in 2 months, I personally promise to rub both @Lord Hampton Royce 's and @the flube 's nuts on my chin on a live twitch.tv stream.

I imagine this idea has been posited before but I was unable to find a thread. I'll be the first to admit that it's not that novel. Feel free to take credit. But it's not about credit, it's about spending less time leveling my talisman.

If perma stat gets implemented could also sell recovery for silver and it only reduce statloss recovery. So my only question would this be for meta stat loss? If so I think it would be a good idea. If for gains in general then not so much. I have a lvl 3 meta but when I get it to lvl 5 or 6 I don't want it to feel like a Honda....yea I got one of those too.

I know there are already a lot of metas but this would just flood it more imo.

P.S. Those figures are well-thought out; I did not pull them out of my ass. Pricing is my professional forte. But feel free to provide alternatives.

P.P.S. This is a common revenue strategy for the F2P business model.

He just wants a reason to run nuts on his chin in front a live audience lol!!

Ok serious now, @kurtis
I I don't know if a sink of some sort was ever thought of my only concern (after making sure we never see trammel) is that this does not become a pay to win model. Now obviously what you propose is not in that catagory but is a slippery slope that needs to be watched so we don't get to that point.

But i do applaud the thinking....

how does sinking silver make Shane rich?
o_O

If anything, wouldn't he want to add it to the donation vendor? = more donations.

I don't think they should make it any easier to level metas either, leveling the new meta is pretty much the only reason I'm playing at this point and I know a few others that are doing the same.

Then shane could introdyce a meta pet sink...higher level metas give more points....points redeemed for uber cool leet stuff
Maybe shane could set it up to where you can trade your pet to a trash can and you get your points while your pet is deleted horribly

You lost me on this one Cack. I didn't mention anything about rewards or anything of that nature. I believe you may have taken my reply out of context.

If youre cpnfused....it's because I want you confused.....
Buuut....
Reread your last sentence in the quote I quoted...then reread my reply.
Something about too many metas...and this would add more....
Then I say well let shane make a meta sink where you can turn in metas for rewards....
Thought that was pretty straightfoward. Go easy on the weed man.
