Resurrection Stone

Deleted • 17 May 2014 at 7:12 AM

There is a recent problem regarding the resurrection stone being available only to CC-buyers .. and as such those people who don't buy CC cant access it.
People might suggest an option like bringing CC back to trading, but that is not at all needed. I have many suggestions:

(i) The Graveyard
Some place just like the trade center where we can set up lots with the dead creatures. The Graveyard can have a storage of 25 or 50, which can be expanded further by EC/CC if needed.
They can create lots of dead creatures. The person with the CC can directly offer the Revival Stone on the lot. As there would be an option on the Revival Stone page to share it in the Graveyard which would allow people to resurrect their creatures in exchange for what they pay.
It would be good if someone could like open lots like that and include the EC/CC in other lots. But that opens another way for scamming. So this also has its disadvantages, but the advantage may overrule the disadvantages.
Well... there always can be a confirmation if the person has CC or not. 😊

(ii) Revival Stones Tradeable Items
This is good to allow others to get these to use. But people might misuse it as a secondary option for CC and in the future someone might have to see someone hoarding off Resurrection Stones.

(iii) Interlinking Certain Accounts
Perhaps.. A needs a revival stone and can't buy CC. B owes A a lot of CC, so B can do it, but since its on A's account.. and CC can't be traded.. so there is a dilemma.
A possible solution is that accounts revival list can be interlinked. That is A uses an option to reveal their list and make their list accessible to B, so B directly uses the revival stone and the creature appears resurrected on A's account.

Just a form of trading. No problem with hoarding, no problem with scamming as well. (except the fake-IOU ones)

(iv) Making Revival List Public
Making the list public so that anyone can revive off creatures (I doubt that anyone would spam out someone by reviving their commons for real money) and as such make gifts possible without the hoarding of these CC items or using them as a secondary mode of CC trading.
As such, people can get the stones. The only problems are spamming (which is quite obvious that someone won't do it unless they're too rich and too crazy xD) and the fake-IOU scams.

There is no way to take out the fake-IOU scams and such false promises and their possibilities without implementing CC in the Trade Center.. but this topic can prove otherwise that there is no need to implement CC.

As such, the revival stone problem is solved. Anyone can feel free to express their opinions/criticism.

I like this idea, I hope it happens, I'm upset because I forgot about this acont and 2 of my fav animals died, now I have to buy cc to get them back.

@frosted in my opinion, these are great ideas. i'm not rich and i have about 50 valuable creatures in my dead list.

Of course, making CC-based items available for all will help the community. However, I don't think a public graveyard is necessary. When a user quits and creatures die, that should be left alone. If one does this, perhaps the number of rares will increase greatly and the rarity of creatures will fluctuate.

@trig
That is why many other options are already listed.
Any one could work 😊

I really like the fact that reviving critters can be a gift. I have a friend who is inactive for a very long time. I saw a lot of her critters die, and some good ones too. I know she can't get CC. So maybe one day when she comes back, I'd be able to restore some of her babies :>

@frosted
Out of the 4 ideas, I believe that the 2nd idea would work the best. I'm not at all saying that the others are bad ideas, but feel that the 2nd would be the easiest and simplest. The graveyard idea might just be too much, and get confusing for new users who don't have any dead creatures. Also, I feel that the graveyard sounds like a big part of EggCave, that is, if it is created, and that dead creatures aren't as 'important' as alive creatures, in which there is a trading center for. If there were a 'trading' center for dead ones, it would almost seem like they are equally as important as alive creatures, which there are far more of. The last two, I feel like would cause confusion as well, and perhaps some conflict. I don't know how it would, but seeing that on EggCave somehow doesn't seem like it would work out all neat and tidy. I think there would be disputes over the linked accounts and possibly more hacking going on.

Overall, I vote for tradeable ressurection stones 😊

These are just my opinions, and I'm not trying to say the other ideas weren't good. Please do not take any offense.

@frosted No its lonewolf, her side account @light. Used to be 30 critters, now it just dwindled down to 13

@lunar Whoah. Still.. I hope any of these ideas will be considered.
