People are gonna see this and think "troll post" but I'm very serious about this.
Ever been at spawn bored waiting around for things? What if while you were waiting around there was a gambling machine built into spawn. Sure the odds are against your favour, you're wasting money you don't have but they're fun and worth every shard put in, it could even dispense AI etc for fancy rewards.
This isn't a revolutionary idea but its a fun thing you can do while waiting for the reins fight to begin or for someone to trade or while you stand there blankly staring into the void, there'd also be many fun ways to spice up the machine to make playing fun to look at and use. To fit the more Lokan spawn palette possibly an underground shady trader running this machine? A hidden spawn easter egg?, just a few ideas
Could also run with opycs and give them a purpose for a healthy addiction!

We need a tavern as well ^^^ +1

 

[SilentStormSix]

This is a pretty nice idea, would like to see it implemented

 

[Jammin_Mas]

This is a cool idea for the server and it is known that there needs to be more types of resource sinks added. I would be down for one of these to be added to the server +1

 

[mindblaster007]

Can wait to see this added, if it is. I like the originality of this suggestion and, would furthermore, make a Loka the unique server it is.

speaking of places to sit down, remember that bench that was there at Christmas?
people actually used that for being afk and stuff
if there were some benches added to spawn and afk players could sit down it would look a lot more immersive than someone just standing still in the corner.

 

[FoxyBearGames]

boy do I just love loot boxes- would like to see it. Would like to see a building for it- with a bar and some other stuff like that where people can hang out.

 

[Sparky___]

Okay but I have spent literal hours playing the slot machines in Borderlands, I could easily burn tens of thousands of shards on something like this. I know @jibblypop could too... smile

 

[Haldyir]

I like the idea, I would just want to really make sure that this can’t be abused and destroy the economy. Maybe limiting how many times you can play?

Also yes a tavern, I would love to see some epic bar fights

+1 from me nevertheless

 

[Terryn_Greystone]

Sounds like that would be a great addition to spawn! Would love to see it added! +1

 

[Kaph]

I think this would be an awesome addition. More things to do at spawn would be great, given how it is used for idling/waiting.

 

[Adzy]

+1....

bad for future business i hope this dosnt pass

 

[PartayArc]

+1 more things for me to do at spawn that isnt broken

 

[Volpex_]

+1 Nice idea, I have spent half of my playtime running around Aladra

 

[Steve5729]

If it used Orbs, something that you've invested real money into then I understand the issues that come up from that and the issues it has. The difference here in my opinion at least this isn't real life money, there are no real stakes. There isn't a "cash-out" option, everything spent in this casino is virtual currency anyone can obtain and isn't the end of the world if you put in a few shards and don't get money back out. You can gamble and have fun with virtual currency without suddenly getting addicted to gambling with real money and real stakes.
Possibly adding a daily shard limit could be a way to prevent over-usage and some issues that might end up appearing.

I like the idea of this a fair amount, maybe not with opycs, since I like to abuse my powers to decide how many people have, but aslong as it doesn't use a proper in-game currency that really affects anything, like only being able to convert a few shards per day or whatever, I don't think it would cause any backlashing gambling issues. UWU

 

[koi0001]

I want to be able to waste my shards so nobody gets them

 

[Magpieman]

Sounds like a fun idea. Certainly, something I can see us messing around with and adding. However, don't expect it in the near future as it won't be crazy high up on the priority list.
