Currently, every weekend eight names in murder are given away.
That's 32 per month, and around 380 per year.
You're totally devaluing your own shop, because now buying a single name in murder will get next to no uses (I've had it for about 4 months and it's >1800 uses, a tiny tiny amount given how many games occur per day)

If I had to guess, that's why you guys removed the "chance to be used" thing from the murder name stats, because they were getting so infinitesimally small

If you changed the build battle prize to something else (Coins, a few hundred party points) you'd see an increase in sales, and a decrease in people being frustrated at how little a name in murder is worth. You could even switch the prize for only some of the rounds (Solo gets a name in mur, teams gets party points)

and no, I'm not saying this as someone salty about the build battles, I won one yesterday and then realized the absurd amount of names in murder given away per year. it's been 112 so far in 2017 alone

tl;dr swap the build battle prize to increase server revenue and make donators happier
 
I can see what you mean, but there are a few concerns with this..
  • What if the Event team gives more than x1 of name in murder? Like x4 of your name in murder?
  • They obviously cannot just increase the amount of times your name of murder will be in. I mean the administators can but not them.
  • And what will be the extra prizes? Like you said Partypoints and Coins. (Not that I want ranks, because if you want to be dedicated to the server than you actually need to pay it yourself ;p)

In conclusion, there are pros and cons with this. But I think it's disappointing, but it's fine with me -+0
 
Personally I think getting your name in Murder is a great prize, and some people who are not so good at building can buy their name in Murder, as well as the people who don't participate/don't get in can have a chance to buy their name. Going back to the point where you said the staff could give party points/coins the same thing would happen; people wouldn't want to buy party points, one of the reasons party points are so good for the server is because the only way to get them -I think- is to buy them. Lastly, the staff having a lot of people's identity's in Murder make the game have more variety. :)

Yeah.
 
We can't actually give away those sorts of prizes; ranks or murder coins because I'm pretty sure that's against EULA.

The Event Team is trying to think up new stuff to give away, if you guys have any good ideas, make sure to let us know :)

Maybe custom skns, or an avatar on the forums, maybe a cape? (Not sure about the last one...)

that's not true haha
EULA says you can't let players donate for an advantage, like coins
doesn't say you can't give away free ranks/coins/party points in a competition available to everyone
 
Yes I made a booboo, it is EULA compliant ;)
 
@Dizzeh maybe make prizes like extra plots or something? Idk

That seems like a little much, I mean it would be nice to receive more plots, but this could have some odd consequences later on that may be overlooked at this moment

Maybe a once in a while rank giveaway during build battles? Here's an example format:

DEFAULT ~ VIP
VIP ~ VIP+
VIP+ ~ ELITE
ELITE ~ ELITE+

ELITE+ can probably giveaway a rank or maybe have 2,000 Partypoints.

I like this idea, and if they DID do this, they could do it maybe like once per month or every other month

Unfortunatley this wouldn't work, the reason for this is the upgrade from
VIP to VIP+ is only $20, however VIP+ to ELITE is $40, therefore some players would be gettting ranks which are $20 more than the ones others a getting.

If the winner has a forum account, maybe giving them a few trophy points? (Ex. 20 Trophy Points)

Nice idea ;p
Though if their new this would just give them an advantage to helper right away.
Like in the future say that they are already a rank and they have 20 points,
Also, they used to be default and not really active on their forums account..
Ba Bam:

"Wow! I just need 5 more trophy points!"
Good for you by the way.

Maybe try and decrease it a bit, to at least 15 points or 10.
