i was thinking that vizzed could have EXP packs in the item shop and when you buy them you get EXP. it couldalso stop some spamming because some people just want to level up. there could be 3 different EXP packs with different amount of EXP.

what do you think about this?

Honestly, it would be completely pointless in my opinion.  Not only will the buyers have to had been active or donated to get the Viz in the first place, but being able to buy xp points would completely destroy the purpose of them.  XP points allow us to see who is more active and who is less active.  If people could just 'buy' xp, it wouldn't mean a thing any more, and nothing could be determined by seeing how much xp someone has.

Besides that, it would discourage activity.  When the battle arena IS opened, people with higher xp will be able to do more (in that their ability to attack and defend will be higher since their stats are higher), and this might encourage people to be more active because they want to be able to battle more effectively.  If people can buy xp points, they won't need to be active to more successful in the battle arena.

And before you mention it, I wouldn't even like the idea if the amounts were small.  lol

Singelli : What if limits were set on how much you could purchase? Or something like this? Ex: I'm trying to get a level up, but don't have the xp. I'm really close though, within a couple hundred xp. So, I go to the item shop and buy an xp pack to finish it off.

It would help a little with posting, people trying to get into the range where they can use an xp pack to level up, and would increase donations if the price was high enough. Probably. It's rather impractical, seeing as a couple hundred word post only takes a minute, but it might end up profiting. Who knows.

Hmm...Both Singelli and mrfe are right. I think it could be kind of a cycle. A user donates to the site. The user gets Viz. the user uses the Viz to buy an xP pack. Also, the XP pack should give out a certain amount of XP due to a person's level. For example, buying a 500 XP pack could level up a low-level user 3+ levels. That wouldn't be fair, now, would it? Or, the person could buy any amount of viz! Ex. Every 1 exp point costs 10 Viz.

the problem with leveling up is that the levels are meaningless. All they really represent is how long you have been a member and how many posts you have made. Unless there is some sort of combat system that takes levels into account then gaining levels is meaningless.

mrfe :  I don't know, but I still don't think I would like the idea.  As I mentioned above, it can give a wrong impression.  Also, geeogree's post above this one may help explain what I was trying to say, but in a more concise manner.

I don't think I'd like it even after the arena is up and working, but it might increase income for the site if Davideo allowed small amounts of points to be bought with real money.  Although I wouldn't like the idea of buying site xp, I'd go for it if it helped David fund vizzed.  He puts enough of his own paycheck into the site and it'd be nice to have users contribute more to that.

I don't think the original post was about charging real life money though.

geeogree : Actually, David has mentioned many times that he will make an arena combat system on vizzed. I'm guessing that levels will have a manner in this.

Popeye116 : yeah, he has also been saying that for more years than most people have been members here. I've heard it so many times that I don't think it will actually happen.

However, if there ever is a combat system then I imagine there will be ways to spend money to improve stats.

That sounds like a cool idea to me. I noticed it can take awhile to level up. As long as they're not cheap. It would have to be very costly, like the Rare Candy on Pokemon. Then again, this may make the forum die then. Why post to level up when you can just buy EXP packs?

Konekodemon : For one reason you get Viz by posting. Another is that it's fun to talk to other users! I doubt more than a handful of users post for the level up...

You could limit the amount people could buy and the higher level you are the more xp you can get. Ex: you could buy a booster of like 10 xp at lvl 1 for 50 Viz or something and you can only get that once. next level you can get 20 for 100 Viz and can only get it once. I personally agree that it would kind of destroy the idea of the board but, in moderation it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I think this is a good idea, but like geeo said... he has been talking about it since before I joined Vizzed over two years ago. I don't think it will happen. I think the battle arena might happen in 4 or 5 years, when everything on the site is the way he wants it. That is a big project, and is going to take awhile.
