Need suggestions

We've been thinking about two things for a while, and still haven't been able to come up with a proper solution, so we thought maybe someone else can come up with an idea.

What we need is two things:
- A way to obtain the "donator" (EULA) classes for other users.
(Not the same way as earning point classes, please)

- Somewhere to spend a lot more points on.
(Most players right now have plenty of points to buy all classes. As long as they don't need points they won't need boosters, and we thus don't sell boosters and don't earn enough)

Does anyone have suggestions for the two? Preferably a system that doesn't make the server too complicated, as I'm actually trying to make it as simple as possible for new players to understand.
 
tim i think u should add an 1v1/FFA arena.
and mybe only donors/voters can use the arena or that only donors/voters can start a duel.
or u can just do some point kits at the arena so pps would be able to spend some points.
the arena can be a lotr class arena or u add new class.
try to add the arena for limit time and if ppl would love it so dont delete it.
its also vary simple to do with commands and every pleb can do it EZly so it wont be that hard to do.
the arena will also help solve some rivalries betwen players and i think it would be nice to add.

for short: TIM ADD AN ARENA PLZ it would be awesome

It has been suggested twice that donator classes could be unlocked by score. A lot of people thought that was a Good idea.[/quote]
The reasons I don't like that idea are:
1. It leaves nowhere extra to spend points on
2. Say class A is obtained at 500 score and class B at 1000 score and you really like class B, instead of plain aiming for B you'd have to get A first, unlike when you can purchase stuff, where you can actually pick which you want.

Still doesn't solve the "nowhere to spend points on" problem.[/quote]
Well, Maybe add more point classes....

We already have plenty of classes on most maps.
 
For spending points, maybe give all classes like an item that would open an inventory interface that functions as shop, making you able to permanently unlock certain boosts for all classes.

This could include stuff that would be useful for all classes; 1-3 extra porkchops, unbreaking weapon, X extra ladders. Or it could include special stuff like small temp buffs that they can activate once or twice per life, for example: on troll u can buy some sugar, that gives you "rage" when u consume it, giving you like a little extra strength or speed for 10-20 seconds.

For porkchops or ladders, people could spend like 1k points for 1 extra pork on the class, then another 1k for another extra pork, but they have to buy extra pork individually on each class they want to upgrade.
 
For points, perhaps make ranks. They will cost a lot but you get the donor classess. But to keep the original donors unique, perhaps give them a new name?

No, we want to replace the point shop with something, not make it larger.

No, too many ranks in chat will make it all way too confusing.

This would require for so many new variables and checks per class that it'd over complicate far too much of the server and increase lag too much. I don't think this would be a good solution because of that.
 
"Somewhere to spend a lot more points on."

well you started the things which helps to upgrade rock throw cooldown, fireball damage and so on. How about you need to use points to upgrade that, beside the skill lvl?
 
1.

Achievement classes (EULA Donor classes)

NazGul: I actually think we should leave this as donator only, or we'll have 6 of them in every game again. That or "Kill 100 NazGuls to unlock this class"

Balrog: "Kill 25 Balrogs to unlock this class"

Lossarnach Axeman: "Get 200 MVPs to unlock this class"

Orc Chieftain: "Get a killstreak of 50 to unlock this class"

And so on.

2. Points

The mage/rocks idea wasn't that good in my opinion, since it gives almost no advantage for a massive amount of points.

Inventory changes: +1 Pork for 1000 points. Up to 10 Pork.

Shop updates:

Add Sharpness +1 on swords/axes. Upgrade purchasable in the point shop. These stack onto votes. Cost: 250 points for 2 hours.

Extra ladders: +1 Ladder for 1000 points. Max 10 Ladders.







Add 2 or 3 new point classes.

I'm not sure if I want those anymore, they seem a bit complicated for new people, and only give some classes an advantage.
 
I totally agree with gele that you should be able to upgrade your classes permanently with more food, ladders, arrows (on AoW?) not to op, but worth spending your points on.
 
Add a large area at spawn with a small parkour and to spend points, you can setup a mount system, like people pay points to buy for example chicken mount, and can ride it around this area. Also you can make that you can buy books with funny stories or/and buy empty books where you can write your own stuff and put it into EW story chest. as long as it is appropriate... I don't really have ideas about the donors.

oh forgot another idea, upgrade your rank with 1000000 points
that would may be make people playing more on EW and spend points, you can change the amount. I don't know what would make it good.

dude, I don't think anyone on EW has even gotten CLOSE to 1 million points... Riku is probably highest with 300000 pts, basically worthless to add a rank upgrade for that huge amount of points
