Graal Lottery
 

I was thinking, why not include a lottery system into graal? Following the popularity/success of the RPS update, I think the lottery will fit in just as well.

Here is how it works:
•Each Ticket Costs 1,000 Gralats
•There are x number of tickets drawn, ouf of x tickets.
•Winners get (?) prize, either all of the money put into the lottery, divided up, or a special hat.


*Another note, the admins could tax 100$ onto the tickets, so it would be 900$ put into the pot, rather than 1000$. (Removes money from the economy, rather it being passed around or increased.)

That sounds like a cool idea, I think a hat or item would be the best prize.

I agree aswell.

The best prize would not be a hat or item, it would be all the money people put into the lottery... hence the whole lottery idea. It would be ruined and I would not enter if the prize were a hat.

Sounds pretty cool but 1000 gralats is a bit to much. Unless you have 2000 hours and can go to the grotto and get it in 5 mins, 1k isnt easy (packs dont count). Maybe 700 gralats?
If you think about it, RPS was such a hit beacuse:


1. The RPS item its self was only 150 gralats and very easy (Id hope) to get.


2. The hats are mostly 300, 350, or 900.

I would have to disagree with you're 2 points about rps being a hit. Firstly, the hats are not a flat 300/350/900. You bet to win the hat, winning would be a 50% chance. As it may seem like it is cheap, there is a slight chance you may pay overboard, thus it becoming higher priced.

As for regular hats, I see them priced around the 5000's.

As well, this update was related to RPS as it being UNIQUE. It is gambling, and it is based solely on luck, just like RPS as well, so it is the same in that aspect.

Stay around the NPC, look for patterns. I actually think I found one in one NPC and got like 2k off of it,

I think the npc's are completely random...

I agree u can tell what certain NPC's are going to do most of the time. I got 7k by rock 2/3 of the time at one spot.

If u put it that way I agree, I am incredibly fond of hats tho......

This is a pretty good idea. I would like to see this added sometime, but maybe a bit tweaked. People don't win brand new cars or cruise vacations from a lottery, they win them from games. Lottery is generally where someone can win money. I'd say make the lottery a huge sum to win, and a decent price, 1000 sounds good to start. Don't forget things can be changed for next time after the first time if it isn't a big hit, or too little people bought tickets.

Perhaps a system that starts high and price declines while more people buy tickets, thus decreasing the chance to win. Less people buy tickets, they will pay more for tickets but have a greater chance to win. Vice versa.

Agree with the first half, however I disagree with the last part. It should be a flat price, having a cap for how many tickets someone could buy.

I'm sure either would work fine, probably flat price would be easier to control. Again, that suggestion is always just a back up lol.

I like it, but I am bored of hats as prizes.

We want monneh!

Indeed, I would love a giant cash prize.

I've made this for Era, I may release it this weekend. It's 25$ a ticket, its drawn every 24 hours. It choses 3 random winners, each get 27% of the overall money, 19% is taken from the server.

Awesome :)!

I wish that classic would be on the ball when it comes to these kinds of suggestions!

Hurray for graal turning into Las Vegas!

yess make it money

please release it this weekend!

What are you gonna make next... a casino?

It's more like a 1/3 chance of winning since you can tie them.

Released it on Era

Something needs to be added to iClassic fast... Spar, towers, PK, and guild spar is getting boring. We need change!

Lets buy SNK from era, all chip in 1$.

I agree with you there, even though rps was added recently. We need something to entertain us for a long period of time. Rps lasted a few days.

A lottery would be great idea. lets see 110000 players with 1000 gratlats... 110000000 gratlats!!!!!!! or it could be 200 winners or something like share the cash kinda stuff either way great idea.:)

lol graal 'economy'.... its a game... it doesnt have its own economy.

Games do have their own economy.

lol if we were playing my sims or something i would agree. this isnt my sims.

a hat would be the best prize.

It wouldn't fare. The winner shouldn't get all the money, if 400people had got 2-1 ticket the winner would have 400,000or+ gralats?

yea, pretty much.

LOL, this comment actually made me laugh for a good 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure we have a currecny in this game, unless that was just invisible to you.

Seems like a good idea to me.

wut necro post

Ohey. I made pretty much exactly this on UN recently and first drawing was pretty popular.

Make one for iPhone and every drawing will be popular.

Ph8 its your fate to make this on the iphone server.


huehuehue

woo!

iEra has a lottery, it was pretty popular the first few days now it's pretty much dead with only a few purchases. I suppose they could lower the rate at which a new lottery is made.

:( I already suggested this once, in the Feedback thing.

It is a great idea, and you seem to have put more thought into it than I ever did. :D

There is no hype surrounding it on Era because it is drawn far too frequently like you said. Once a week, fortnight, or even a month would probably keep people interested.

if the iClassic GST tells you anything this is definitely true.
Get a monthly lottery going.

Agreed.

If exclusive hats were made for a lottery and it was drawn every 1-2 months people would piss themselves with excitement.

Saw another lotto thread, obviously inferior to mine. Bump.

Too much for the price how about 100?
Also iEra has this system already.
Win money not hats or items...

YEA BUT U DIDNT GIVE KOUJI THE PRICE I TOLD U!!!
Fate made an awesome lottery project.Fate the great.

Why the major bump?
