Hi all, this is a suggestion that is mostly to do with crafting services people offer.
I know of a few people who have either been scammed or are living in fear of being scammed when asking people to craft things for them, Even some people in the same houses have scammed members before. (I'm more so talking about over a year ago scam incidents.)
My suggestion is we introduce a system where once a crafter had 3 people vouch for him/her having a legitimate crafting service/store and wont scam them they become verified so that people wont be constantly living in fear of potentially being scammed.
Example if I was to open up an armour smith crafting store, where I craft armour for people 1-hero class at the start people would be sceptical because I am not a well known member in the community. But if I was to be vouched for (With screen shots of trades) and earn a verified status it would make more people comfortable to use my service, they supply me the mats and the order, I supply them their completed Armour(s).
Sure people can easily gain this verified status with just 3 vouches, but that's just an example. Maybe 3 vouches from people like game admins or people that everyone knows or devs or something to see how teh service goes. Mixed with just random players as well. This thread/idea may seem quite stupid to some/all of you which is understandable but I just thought I'd suggest it. Could be a way for the 'Poorer' people to gain some kind of a name in this community and feel like they belong, I know some people who feel isolated because they don't have 5 legendaries, and 2 barrels/tomes. While if they want picking up a little bit of extra cash.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION:
Is a monthly house event where the house who is the most active and most helpful to the Nord Invasion community have a chance of winning a house prize. There could be mats/armours/weapons in here. Or the community/Houses could donate to the pool, and then at the end of the month, a video goes up for a developer putting all of the participating houses into a hat (showing all houses names that donated to show there is no rigging) and then on unedited/uncut footage they developer picks the paper, then shows it to the camera. This way if a house wins two consecutive months in a row, there can be no claims of the competition being rigged.)
You could also do a community one as well where individuals donate something into the pool and at the end of the month one -five names are drawn out and it is split or given to the first name to come out.
This also helps the less skill-full players/ players with less time that work and such more of a chance to get some cooler items. (Like striped, butcher, Sharp Shooter bow etc.)
I understand the raffles seem silly but I just thought I'd throw it out there as it's something I personally think would add a bit more generosity into the game. Of course the house winners would have to share it with the house. And of course for a house to enter they need to have donated atleast 300k worth of stuff (Be it a butcher or mats or something.)
Obviously this thread may get flamed alot so I please ask you all to not start flaming me/my supporters or people who disagree with my suggestions. These are meerly feeler suggestions to see what both the community AND the developers think of my ideas. If the community/devs go for them then great. If not, that's not a huge drama.
One last thing is mostly in relation to the Australian community within Nord Invasion, as many of you know, AU only has TWO servers. Honestly I find it quite frustrating that EU and NA have I think something like 30 combined total of servers. I haven't bothered to count them because I just don't see what the point is. I'm requesting/suggesting on behalf of the Australian Nord Invasion community, that two of these servers funds be put to better use and used to purchase one or two new Australian servers, It's unfair to the Australians to have to go to EU and NA servers, if we want to do Ragnorak mode, we get accused of leeching all the time and it creates arguments in the game. I believe from what I was told today another Ragnorak server was opened for EU, be it true or not how ever I do not know. If the reason that AU only has two servers is because each regions gets as many servers as there is donated from that region than I guess two is fair enough because our community isn't as big as EU and NA clearly, but I still feel strongly and so does probably 99% of the active Australian community that AU needs ATLEAST one more server to host Ragnorak on.
Sorry to have rambled.
Sincerely,
