LOTTERY!
Zone should have a lottery! But not a trash one like in iEra. By lottery i mean one like the lottery in Era PC. By this i mean: NPC of Tashkin (enybody actually) Standing in the Unstick Me area. Tickets cost 100 gralats and players are allowed to buy up to 100 of them. The more tickets you buy the greater chance of you winning but you can still lose as it is about LUCK. Since this would be in the spawn an easily accesible, the lottery would actually be active. Lottery drawing is every week and there are 3 winners. -Even though each ticket costs 100, each bought ticket would add 150 gralats to the "Jackpot" so it will be actually attractive to participate in. If you support this idea feel free to put Lottery4zone. Reply here what you think! |

100 gralats is 1 win in showdown. This would attract more people to showdown. 100 gralats is mining a mission or two. This would attract people to missions. 100 gralats is a small fraction of a gralat pack. This would be for the big investors who would like to attract more people to the lottery and possibly make more money due to each ticket putting 50 gralats more into the jackpot. 100 gralats is 1/5 of winning rambo. Would attract a bit more players, even though alien rambo is already popular. Keep in mind that winning the lottery isnt I-bought-the-most-tickets-so-i-automatically-win. Imagine a pie chart. The lottery will already have a certain "slice" (%) of the chance to make you lose. Note these are examples and not actual content. Heres some math for you: Spoiler
I hope thats all, hopefully no mistakes, and if this lottery math doesnt work then we can always ask the developers from Era PC to give us their lottery scripts. |

Would be interesting to see. We could try and test it out some time and see how well it works. Time frame for it being added: there isn't one right now.

I suggest making a Lottery building instead of being located at start; he'd look too suspicious. And, I call dibs on the NPC.

Thanks for all the math? I'm just saying, I wouldn't waste a 100 gralats on luck. You'd probably need atleast 1000 gralats to actually have a good chance.

The lottery system has been completed. Let me give you all a little information on it though. For this lottery you all will be able to buy tickets at 25 gralats each. The drawings for the lottery will be done weekly. I know it was requested that we just put the lottery guy in the gmap, but we decided to do a level for it. Hopefully I will have a sign made for it and will have it available to you all later today.
