this will attract players for longer time. as when they get 5000$ they stay in server for less time. and when they have large amount of cash 50000$ in hand they will stay longer. (this i think, i dont know about others).

Yes this idea is great, I think the players enjoy it and this computer and I know what he would have done in the future. And I love the idea with $ 50,000 ... $ 5,000 was too little money for a new player .. :)

They'd still get $5000 in hand, but they'd get an extra $50000 in the bank :)

Yeah lets' give them $50.000 then what is left to play for? They'll buy properties, weapons, kill other players and gain even more cash.

The original point of moneygrub was to start with $500 and a deagle and work your way up to better weapons and stuff.. and then finally when you had everything it gave you great satisfaction, then you had to redo it all after you logged out and rejoined.. LW's used to be way better :(

Like this there is nothing left to play for, only gives more reason to not play if you ask me.

With 50k you can't do that much, you can buy spawn weapons for one session but that's about it. You gotta admit Sneaky, most new players don't like starting out with such a reduced balance..
Title: Re: [Poll] 50k Sent to the bank when registering
Post by: Sneaky on June 07, 2010, 01:05:52 PM
Or you could buy 1 property for say $20.000 and buy spawnweapons for $20.000 and buy normal weapons for $10.000, go kill some "noobs" with lots of cash while gaining cash from properties.... or something, my point is anyone who has some skills can make 1 million out of that $50.000 in no time, making the gameplay even less addictive cause it becomes even easier to reach your goal.

This wont bring more players to littlewhitey's, you all know that, LW needs BIG changes, addictive, progression/achievements, less stats based gameplay (3.0) to become good again.

I remember 4 years ago in 0.1 how fun littlewhitey's was, there was no bank to save your cash, you started with a deagle and $500 and had to work your way up until you could buy good weapons and then the fun really started, that is what kept people playing; having to work hard for something, this only makes it easier.. know what I'm saying?

Just admit that we, the "regulars" are the only "group" of players who like having less cash.

Right, imagine going on a new server as a new player where you can buy houses for $50.000, when you spawn for the first time they give you $100.000, would you like that? Wouldn't it be much more fun to work hard to gain more cash and then finally be able to buy that house you always wanted?

At least that's how I see it, if you'd just make every feature available in the server to a player it becomes boring, which is what is happening to LW for last 2 years or so.

Don't think so, it would be cool to have a base you can start from, which'd be the house for $50.000, then (a bit more experienced) going to work for the $500.000 house you wanted.

Well this won't solve your economy for the rest of your time on LW's. It'll just give a little push for people to work on something. Also if properties are changed and less BIG props are added that would be an interesting feature (Suggested somewhere already).

The idea is great, but i also think you should make some cheaper proberties then. They would help new players to start, for example some new clothes stores. There are few low-cost stores that can even bought by advanced players. There should be some new stores only for newbies...

I agree, I also suggested somewhere adding a lot more properties, like 2 pages more. And not expensive ones like the Farms or Airports; cheap and middle class ones :)

Post by: Roach on June 07, 2010, 06:17:11 PM
50k extra for new players would be a good idea.
I do not think players will abuse this, as they make money quicker with properties.

I also agree there should be 2 lists of extra properties.
There are enough buildings that could function like properties.
Indeed small + middle ones and maybe 1 expansive property.
Also make a 1/4 of the 2 extra property lists unique properties.

Post by: Gryphus_One on June 07, 2010, 06:31:40 PM
I had already been thinking about posting a similar suggestion, by which the newly registered players wouldn't only get more money but also it would be automatically deposited in the bank instead of in their pockets, so if a player registers and just then he dies, he doesn't lose all the registration money.

Yeah lets' give them $50.000 then what is left to play for? They'll buy properties, weapons, kill other players and gain even more cash.

The original point of moneygrub was to start with $500 and a deagle and work your way up to better weapons and stuff.. and then finally when you had everything it gave you great satisfaction, then you had to redo it all after you logged out and rejoined.. LW's used to be way better :(

Ohh very great!! I can't believe this!!

you started with a deagle and $500 and had to work your way up until you could buy good weapons and then the fun really started, that is what kept people playing; having to work hard for something, this only makes it easier.. know what I'm saying?

You say it clearly: "then the fun really started", referring to the moment you have much money and good weapons, but until then??  ???
And if you want to work hard for something, do it in your real life, it will be more useful, but many people want to play to relax and to have fun, real life is hard enough to make things hard in games too...

Sneaky, there is a suggestion about getting back old gameplay, check it.


As you see I don't like this idea. Seems like you really want to delete the ship feature...  :'( poor ship...

50k at registering, more properties, but with a property limit for 1 person, like 9-10 props max for 1 person.

Why not?

err... i can only see one disadvantage to this:


Player comes in with a new acc waits 5 mins registers then gives 50k to his friend, or his other computer logged on LW's.



if they repeat this process, which admins won't easily be able to notice, they could have lots of cash easily...


And if somehow they DO get caught, what would happen? "We're banning you for exploiting a bug in our script which we didn't properly prepare for"

Some people have this changing IP adresses which would give them the ability to create more than 5 accounts.
However, I would love to see people abusing this shit, doing all the effort waiting 5 minutes and keep creating new accounts while they just could buy the big farm and get the same result instead.

It's a against the rules. All you would have to do is to inform people about it. Then you can fairly ban them if they keep doing this ::)

Title: Re: Give cash to the new players
Post by: Roach on August 24, 2010, 09:56:27 AM
I'm not sure 100k will be really helping in making things better for everyone.
A little while ago i made a new account & started with 5k only.( no money from different account or friends.)
In 1 day I had a full bank + hop hop + chainsaw + a full weapon set.
& after having that for a little while i got bored & /quit.

I am not saying that newbes will make 5 million in 1 day with their 5 k.
I am only saying that it is pretty easy already to make your money tree grow bigger.
& as easier it gets the more boring it gets.........
Lately little whitey is getting more boring & boring & boring.
Cause there is no challenge.

& btw, what is the point in giving newbes alot of money when they don't even know how to spend & save their money.

I prefer giving newbes a small amount of money for finishing that tutorial.

It's enough to start with, you can buy a property, then with that property buy 2 more. It's a well head start to be honest. Plus it will be directly sent to the bank account so regs can't abuse that easily.

Think of it this way, the difference between starting with 50k and 100k isn't THAT big. But going from what we have, 5k, to 100k is a bigger step than 50k. Testing it out and seeing how it goes with a decent amount of money is better, because if something wrong happens (like too many people abusing this to get cash) then not as much damage is done.

Post by: [JOKER]Miczi on September 15, 2010, 03:38:29 PM
Here we go again. Regulars have too much money, so they can hunt newbies all the time (because they don't have to hunt rich ppl, they just care about their stats, frag is frag, nvm easy or not).
Of course even poor regular will hunt newbies, but with this system newbies have even lesser chance of winning - regulars have not only better skills and experience, but also better weapons.
So here is shortly what we've got with the current game mode: regulars are bored, the only profitable thing to do for them is increasing stats, usually on newbies. And newbies are not bored, because they still need money, but they can't make any cause of regulars hunting them so they rage /q.

And I really dunno why the fuck im stating this for 100 times, when you have already told me that it's ok, we only need more things to  spend money on. Im just a believer and I hope that someday you will see it the way I do.

Well, now with the car exports and if races were autohosted by the system, I wouldn't mind too much to have the bank saving removed or drastically lowered. In fact, when I used to play with unregistered nicks, that's all I did: export some cars, buy some weapons (because the default uzi and sawns have very little ammo) and just play (exactly like in the old gamemode when bank wasn't saved: every time you start playing, earn some money, buy weapons and play, but with the difference of me exporting cars instead of going to the Pirate Ships). Even with my registered nicks I still do the same to not touch my bank.
I only use my banked money to host races, but as I said, if they were autohosted by the system I wouldn't need to do it so I would hardly need the bank (and besides, this would make more people join the races :) ).

Post by: AJP on September 16, 2010, 11:05:22 AM
Benny and Miczi, although interesting points about unbalance between regulars and newbies, that's not really what this suggestion is about. There is a topic somewhere I made about removing the banks or setting them to 1mill and 2mill for donators. Then changing up the special shop items and it's done. IF that still doesn't work then it's obvious permanent banking system should be removed.

Again tho, this isn't the topic to discuss that.
Title: Re: [Poll] 50k Sent to the bank when registering
Post by: Gryphus_One on September 16, 2010, 12:29:44 PM
Sorry Scott for going off-topic again, but Miczi, you are always saying how good the old system (only deagle and banks not saving) was for newbies and how bad the current system is for them, but if players spawn with only deagle and money is hard to make, newbies will always have only deagle, deagle and deagle, and even if regulars have only that same weapon too and aren't killing newbies all the time (because they chase the richest players), that doesn't prevent newbies from getting bored very soon because they cannot kill anybody (no matter if regulars don't kill them either). However, if there are good default weapons and money is easy to earn, newbies will have faster access to good weapons and better chances to kill, even if regulars have better weapons too.

Also, with the old system everyone was chasing the richest players instead of the newbies, but not always the richest players are the best fighters: for example I suck at fighting but if I wanna host a race I will have to carry much money and everyone would be chasing me. Also, if a rich player takes a Rustler, almost nobody will chase him.

In summary: for a new player it's funner to have good weapons and some chances to kill (even if his enemies have good weapons too and kill him sometimes), than everyone having shitty weapons and not being able to kill (even if he's not killed so often). The only advantage of the old system was that regulars weren't killing newbies all the time, but:

Newbie not killing anyone + nobody killing him = no action = bore

Whereas with the current system, although it has the problem of regulars killing newbies for stats, the situation is this:

Newbie killing some players + some players killing him = action = fun

Gryphus you don't understand what he's trying to say. A regular wont always have guns if he has no money in the bank to purchase them straight away. He'll have to earn them by getting cash. That's how there would be balance between newbies and regulars.

Yeah Scott I DID understand what Miczi says (and he had already said this same thing other times before).

A regular wont always have guns if he has no money in the bank to purchase them straight away. He'll have to earn them by getting cash. That's how there would be balance between newbies and regulars.

I know that, but that also affects the newbies, and as I said for a newbie it's better to have good weapons (even if regulars have them too) than everyone with only deagle. You say that there's balance between newbies and regulars if they all have deagle, but there's also balance if they all have good weapons.

Removing the banks saving is good ONLY IF access to money and weapons is easy: good default weapons, car exports, autohosted races and other ways to earn money easily. I don't want to imagine how terrible the old LW had to be when bank didn't save your money and there weren't good default weapons, nor car exports, nor autohosted races. Many old players say those were good times but that had to be due to only the high number of players in that moment (and no, the high number of players wasn't because of that gamemode but due to other reasons).

Back on topic:

Or you could buy 1 property for say $20.000 and buy spawnweapons for $20.000 and buy normal weapons for $10.000, go kill some "noobs" with lots of cash while gaining cash from properties.... or something, my point is anyone who has some skills can make 1 million out of that $50.000 in no time
in my old prop days of 0.2x i turned 50k into 500k.
It's enough to start with, you can buy a property, then with that property buy 2 more.

Many of you are saying that with 50k or 100k you can earn lots of money and get your bank full by buying properties, but take into account that newbies don't know anything about properties, so no matter if you give them 50k or 100k, they will spend it all in a short time.

True,  although I am neutral on this, I feel like 50k will give newbies a little too much of a "head start"

/help -> /commands -> /tips -> /properties
^like this, not the exact commands but well, anyone should know about /help, as it's announced in main chat every ~10 minutes(?) Was, somewhen, anyway.

Thought about how we got known to properties? Asking how to make money; visiting the blips on the map and finding it out. Good ol' fun times.

Yeah but the property system is gonna be changed, to avoid cash farming (people staying in banks and receiving money from their properties without doing anything more). With the new system, it won't be so easy to earn lots of money from properties. Therefore, that argument of "if we give much money for registration, they will get their banks full" becomes invalid.

Yeah, but the other ways of earning money (like the car exports) don't depend on how much money you already have, and therefore aren't affected by how much you get for registering.
People were talking about people using the registration money to buy properties and get their banks full, and it's then when I say that with the new property system that won't be so easy, and therefore there's no problem in giving 50k or 100k for registering.
