The Viz currency is also being affected by the economy, people are spending less Viz, vizzed stock market crashed long ago...what can we do to improve the effectiveness of our currency and vizzed economy?

(in other words, how are some ways we can get people to spend more Viz and to give Viz more value?)

The reason I'm not buying is I'm saving up. How to make vizzed more valueable is to make there less of it. As in giving less. It's like supply and demand only, you make the people work for their demands, and making less given out it makes them work harder. Of course, it could always back-fire, and cause some threats.

Yeah, I agree with you totally. It is pretty hard to gain, but I should maybe make it so people can earn Viz on sundays anymore. The only other events that award out lots of Viz are the game shows, and we only have them once a year.

Maybe change some items, to be more costly.
EDIT: Of course if you want people to buy more. Make items cost less.

There are some cheap items though.

A future feature will be to allow users to own more than 1 item per a category.

Also, hopefully by summer I'm going to insert my "side-kicks" into the shop which you can purchase them to be your "side-kick". Also quantity on those would be limited.

Sidekicks would be fun and new.
But haven't we had sidekicks before?

We did in the very old item shop and they were only there for less than a month.

How about you know offering something people care about?

That's the whole point

But what? What would people care about?

Access to downloads by paying Viz is an evil scheme that definitely would work. Secret characters on your flash bash game (If it ever gets done) is also an idea that would work. You just have to give people something that's fun and hold off half the fun until they pay the Viz and BANG instant vizzed value++

The unlockable characters for 'Vizzed Flash Bash" is a Brilliant idea which will be used for sure

I actually think the character idea is evil dumb and sucks. But ii would certainly raise the value of Viz.

Well there wouldn't be many characters that would be unlockable. If we had 10 playable characters, only 2 of those 10 would be unlockable. Would give people somethting to work for and I'm sure the average person who's a regular to the game would be willing to unlock the characters, I know I would.



Another idea (maybe a bad one)...Possibly I can make certain downloads cost Viz, like things that are big in file size.

Could also create a system where users could upload files (would cost lets say 10 Viz per an MB?) and that user gets 10% of their charged fee back every time someone else on vizzed board downloads that file (and they could make a profit if more than 10 people download it). And any time someone wants to dowload something that the person downloaded, they'd also pay 10% of what it costed for that person to upload that file. And since vizzed board would claim no responsibility for what people upload, people could upload whatever they want.

I would personally say screw the economy and let everything be free. Yes you would miss out on people doing each other favors for vizzed but I think some people would rather join in on the fun if they didn't have to work for stuffs.

Of course both ways have their good points.

Well most people like to have something to work for, especially gamers. Having only 2 out of 10 characters costing Viz isn't that many, and they'd be cheap anyway, like maybe 500 Viz each (or 1000 for someone really cool).

It's more rewarding to get something out of what you do, even if it is only virtual money. But than again, there are people out there who pay real money for virtual money in games like "World of Warcraft".

Anyway, I would like to have a system where members could cash in their Viz for real stuff, or even money - would cost a lot of Viz though. This would only be possible if I placed a few ads here and there; basically I'd just be using half of the profit I'd get from the ads to give back to the users if they pay Viz for it, I've seen another board do something similar to this before.

does dragon master think the free thing thru anything through... if you made everything free then you wouldnt get donations. I mean you probably arent now, but yeah.

Do you even know what the word donate means? Donating means giving out money for something that you support or is a good cause. If the game is good enough then there would be donates every now and then. And besides ads generate money too. But yes the money wouldn't stream in as fast as the Viz system but I think the members would both stream in a little faster and stay a little longer. But still it's all up to Davideo.

did you know that no one on the internet is willing to donate without something back, same with salvation army they give you tax deduction, just like donating on private servers of RO, you get donate items, thats the only reason why anyone would donate. My point still stands, r-tard.

Well having the donation feature for 'Vizzed Flash Bash' is suppose to go toward getting new features. So basically it'd say something like "we currently need $xxx.xx more money until we get 4 new characters and maps added to the game".

Additionally, if someone does donate money to vizzed board, they get 1000 Viz per US $1 they donate, so they do get rewarded for donating.

exactly my point, if you didn't have a reason for vizzed and everything costed nothing. What would be the point of rewarding Viz. It would be like "Whose line is it anyway" where the points dont matter.
