Twilight MU Lottery

[Feva]

CLICK HERE - Twilight MU Lottery



- 1 Ticket gives you 1 chance to win.
The more tickets you will buy, the more chances you will have to win.

- Each Ticket costs 1billion Zen.
The zen is taken from your Web ZenBank.

- The Ticket(s) that you buy now will participate only in this week's draw.
For next draw you will need to buy new tickets next week.

- Using this script once will buy you ONE ticket.
If you wish to purchase more tickets use the script more times.


Andy (AOC5577) was making Lottery Event for his guild, that's where I got the idea for this event/thread.

I thought it would be great as a Twilight MU Server Event...

Everything would be stored into the database so no 'keepers' would be needed...

500 numbers is quite a bit, of the 150 users that log in everyday, hypothetically chances of drawing that number is 30% IF everyone participates. i think 100 numbers is good enough.

unfortunately this will not work well with a large community because you cannot keep track of zen payments through the website transfer. but if we trade ingame it could be recorded BUT, trading 100mil at a time and with several people, this will be difficult.

hm...well first we have to test it out ><, we havent seen the problems yet

yeah, i agreee with exq, maybe we should reduce down the numbers ><

[burnsy]

sounds like fun =]

We are currently applying the idea to Heroes first, then, after we have tested out, problems can be seen and solved :)

Might test with StarCr3w too..

People can pay 2billion and have 2 numbers..
thats why I thought 500.. some people might pay 5billion.. even 10.. for better chances


Maybe it would be safer to organize A line for everyone to pay with
I might do it on a Staff character just so all members / participants feel safe

oh yeah, i forgot about that factor of buying multiple 'tickets' but still should be lowered to like 200 since not everyone will be playing.

also having it once every week would be more fun as theres not such a long wait, but will require more organization and punctuality.

but yeah, i forgot to mention this was a great idea for in guild event. great job aoc5577




EDIT: oh yeah, this just came to me. if the php coders are willing to, this event could be possible through the main website.

EDIT EDIT: this just came to me again, if anyone remembers they ALREADY had a mu lottery before on the website ^^ except it was like 100 mil or something, but no one participated.

- 200 tickets?.. maybe 300 is a better start.. Andy's rules cover any unpaid numbers..

- Once every week, maybe at a later date.. will start off with a test,. then maybe monthly.. if gets busy we might get to weekly..

- coding on webpage would be nice.. maybe if it becomes a favored / frequent event, and I couldn't remember previous lottery on website..

More ideas welcome...
