I, throughout my years on siege, have noticed that we do infact get ignored somewhat by the dev team.
We are namely being ignored because our numbers are extremely low compared to the vast number of "production" shards...
We have asked them to change siege to encourage people on "production" shards to want to come to siege, and I feel the changes havn't been the best thing for siege.
What I propose we do is use our OWN methods of encouraging people to want to come to siege!
I am pondering some idea's, so you may have to bare with me...
I think we should do one of the following two idea's:
*DONATION*
One of the reasons people tend to NOT come to siege is for one very simple reason... they don't wish to start over, and who blames them for that?
I think if I advertised in game, on other forums, and had you guys spread the word about... I could set up a donation box and allow people coming over from other shards the opportunity to collect 50k starting money...
I think the small insentive that people wouldn't be starting out with NOTHING would draw a larger crowd over here, and ROT would still weave out most of the UBAR WARIORZ!!1...
If the donations where high enough I could possibly have them start with 100k...
*cons* There is a slight chance that people would double dip, and collect more gold then they rightly deserve... but I say let them, if they feel they need more gold to come here... then let them here anyhow, I see more profit having them come here then leaving siege as a dull "empty" shard...
*Lottery*
This idea is very similar to that of the Donation idea, but with a small twist... it would encourage people to donate gold, and it would encourage people to come to siege from other shards...
What would happen is, I would set up a locked down box at a house close to a gate (friends house)... and post when the numbers (5 numbers, 1-30 (Make it easier for one winner to be announced)) will be announced...
Basically you would buy a lottery ticket for 100k (price may vary depending on how interesting people feel this is) and you would post the name of your character buying the ticket...
After you post, you are free to place a book with your name on it, and the 5 numbers (1-30) in the locked down box...
The winner (or closest one) would recieve half of the pot every week (I'd announce the pot before the numbers are revealed)...
If there is a tie the pot would be split...
The remaining half of the pot (that didn't go to the winner) would be put into the DONATION Idea (see above) and basically would be used to start people coming to siege with more insentive to come here...
The benifit of having more people on siege, would be that there would be more people to say things need to change on siege... there would be more people to talk to, more people to fight with, more people out farming, more people crafting... ect...
I see this being very benificial as a merchant of siege...
These are my ideas... Now tell me what you think...?
