Hello Everyone,
I have an idea for Foxotic currency that I would like to share. In the beta test last year, Foxotic had two currencies, one gold coins and another silver. I just want to say, don't make this game that difficult. I suggest that you have just one currency. I have a nice small cute name, thank you science teacher for the idea: Ion. An ion is a small molecule. It would be pretty cool since it has never been used before, and it sounds more interesting than coins or dollars that are used in any other games. Basically, ions are used to purchase anything in the game from cloths in a clothing store, to furniture in a wood store, to pets in a pet store, or even limited items during special events. (Some features require paid membership. Ask your parents before going online.) ;) Had to say that.
What should it look like?
A basic slim cylinder that looks like a real coin, but with the engravings of a fox avatar. Not your avatar, just a face of the fox that isn't wearing anything like glasses. The color would look best in platinum with some animated white sparks.
How can you earn it?
By playing games, DUH. But farther than that, some people don't like playing mini-games and prefer hanging out with their friends more. So, for every hour you're on Foxotic, you get an allowance of 100 ions or whatever the Foxotic staff decide to make it. This way, they will even be encouraged to stay on longer. Also, Foxotic will keep track of how many days in a row you've been logging on.
If you log on 7 days in a row, you can get 200 ions
If you log on 1 month straight, you get 1 000 ions
3 months = 4 000 ions
6 months = 10 000 ions
and 1 year = 100 000 ions
Sounds pretty awesome to earn 100 000 ions, but one year = 365-66 days and over the Summer, you take even one break and you start on day one.
But, members get double the ions for every game or the days they log on. They also get this extra feature that they have a limit of up to 10 days in a year so for those 10 days (they can be any time like 1 on new year, 2 on March break, 5 on Summer, etc.) they don't have to log on and they won't lose their streak. Obviously, you don't plan if you will play one day or not, the one day you don't log on, Foxotic will automatically subtract one of the 10 days so you don't have to worry and it makes it easier to get the 100 000 (x2 if you're a member) ions. Again, it doesn't have to be ten, Whatever Mr. Ben and team choses.
You can also buy ions from the store for however Mr. Ben and team decide to price it.
I also have an idea for Foxotic Bank. You can deposit whatever amount of ions that you want, and after some time, you can withdraw with maybe 10% interest.
If your friend is in need of money, you can donate for free as long and you two have made an agreement. This can be useful for something like limited items which you already have, today is the last day to buy it, and your friend still needs 300 or 400 more ions to get it before it's gone. Then you can either take it back once your friend has enough, and maybe even take like extra 20% for taking your ions and taking so long to return. ;) Or you can be an awesome buddy and not take it back.
If I think of more ideas for the currency, I will post an update on this post. Until then, you guys tell me your thoughts or if you have some of your own things to add. I might even add it to this "starter post" so people don't have to scroll and read all the comments. I will remember to say (so and so's idea.)
