Okay my other question is can the server handle Rigs? I remember having trouble during the war with the feather drop.

@Illusion/yuki: Yeah I have had some trouble with that on other sites.

The thing about this site is that Runes are already rare which would make getting the items hard and automatically rare. But if people can get 20 runes in a month Im sure in 3 months they can get 30 so I give the seasonal shop a thumbs up if it can be maintained.

Also I like the site the way it is.

Wait that's how seasonals were going to be set up!?
I love the idea of them Now <3
But like I said it's too early for rigs unless they were free and random to get. We need to wait until we reached a healthy set of members and donators.

Were not generating enough income to do all the things you want us to do in the first place. Oh the site is healthy again so don't be scared by me saying that. We have the ease of not having to worry about not making our bills right now because thats been easy specially this month. but we do not have the ease of say, a professional web designer, a game creator, advertising. None of that is free and its trying to reach out with our budget.

Maybe I should hold a webdesign contest XD Users want runes all the time so thats an option, I haven't thought of that yet, but I will think about it. I am not sure that we have the users that could do it because I haven't seen any of them post web design stuff.

I'm gonna start taking computer classes, and once I get skilled enough maybe I can help scrapping together an easy flash game...but I ain't promising anything. However I am interested in such things and it might be good training as well...

Actually I wanna make a really cool game...probably something that looks like Maple story or Zelda 2 on NES. It doesn't seem that hard from what I can judge. I could even do the character design and such myself. Thanks to at least decent art skills and maybe more than that if I try harder...

Personally, I dislike the idea of Trisphee ever getting RIGs... I know I'd never buy them (even when I'll be able to donate in a bit more than a year)... I know it generates income, but not sure it's worth the anger when people don't get the stuff they want.

Hm...Flash games....I know a tiny bit of Java, and Funkduder knows more than me...And I've been trying to get a certain Flash game to work.

Well you don't need to be focusing on any of that, you need to be focusing on us. WE ARE YOUR MAJOR ADVERTISEMENTS, WE ARE THE ONES WHO FIND MEMBERS THAT FIND MEMBERS!

So the only thing this site needs to do is to help promote referrals. But not with a store, a contest. With a real incentive, like get the most referals in a month and we will make a item you get to design. Or even 100,000 aurum, just something big. We need more members more then anything. You just need to finds ways to have us go out and premote the site without costing you guys money.

I'm on the fence about RiGs. I would probably buy a few every now and then. If nothing else, they'd make great gifts to other users.

Fen, I've taken a web design class. @.@ I'm not like super pro or anything, but I can look at a picture and figure out how to write it in CSS.

WEB DESIGN CONTEST.
Now I need school to start.
/ taking Web Design and Programming this year. 8D

I think will try and talk to Nefer about coding, I think I recalled her saying that she knews a little bit about it. Me, I'll stick to art for the time being.

I like the idea of C-Rigs (I call them comunist RIGS XD)

Make every item equally possible and such, like the seasonals. That's just my thought (Have I mentioned that I'm a communist-ish Capitalist? I'm my own contradiction XD In Soviet Russia...! ...I still make no sense <.<;;; )

Also...flash games...can our servers handle that? Just asking, as anyone should.

For the referral thing....why not have something like Crys had, where everytime someone used a referral link of yours, it got you some odd number of points, and when you got so many points, you could get special items? I mean, I HATE that system, cause some people <That will not be named> just spammed everywhere and got hundreds of spammy users, but still ^^;

Our servers can handle games jsut fine guys. The only reason the war has trouble is because it forces two users to connect to each other. Or at least thats my understanding. Plus it reloads every so many seconds so that users get updates, this causes server load.

Well there are spammers and then there are just plain children. I would hate it if Trisphee had to be a pg 13 site because many of the users referred where immature children. I remember when Coro and I ran into one here on this site bitching about her problems. >< -pain in the ass-

Hence why, instead of just having three accounts each on a tab for battle just on for 24 hours, I just go to battle on the one account when I feel like getting a jewel, maybe XD

Poggio, if anyone registers under the age of 13 it auto bans them until they are of 13 years or older. This doesn't prevent people lying about it but that's why users are free to report when someone says they are 12, or 11 etc.

Not what I meant by an incentive for referals. That's the lame way of getting referals. That's no different from the contest. You need people to actually be driven to promote the site. For that you need to make it a big event with a very big prize.

@Poggio: If you're talking about the one I think you're talking about, are you sure she was a kid? And also, doesn't Tris already have a 13+ rule?


EDIT: ...Got ninja'd by the Fenfen.

Well I could do a top referrer for every month gets such and such. Like a nice amount of Aurum, or even a monthly set?

Actually...I like the idea of an event with referrals involved o.o;

Like... a whole story about why we need people, etc., etc. I dunno, I'm not a one-man-event-planner, but...that's actually a good idea.

and a benefit to the referred. Like, maybe a special item, and a bit of currency, ya know?

Like..."Welcome to Trisphee, here's your free hat and a dollar" XD

I enjoyed Ninja'ing you 8D

@Espy: She confessed in her thread that she was a month away from being 13 then said something about crying and at that point coro and I were debating if she was a troll or just a stupid teenager who really was on her period.

Fenris doesn't ninja just anyone. Usually you gotta meet her in a back-alley and pay her to ninja you like that...

Alright, then I think I know what you're talking about. That was before I knew about the 13+ rule.

Now your thinking, and instead of a monthly set. Why not an amazing item that will be given out to the number one winner? And you will keep giving out that same item every month? And make a rule that you can only win it once.
It would be rare but everyone would want it and it would be given out forever.
;D

I suppose I could start a debate thread about it. But I am not sure about that one rare item. It would take forever to get into the market and that could really upset users.

Or give out a kind of trophy for it, and then make two one-pose items every month, and you can either turn the trophy in for one of those and ten runes, or wait til next month? I dunno, just throwing out ideas.

Easy enough - make the trophy item then a yearly the next year XD

A debate thread is good, get user input on this.
A trophy item would be perfect. Think Gaia fishing, of course it's rare but you can always get it. And it's not super amazing but it's a small personal glory for the person. To have achieve and win it.
Plus you can always have fun with the idea also. Like make the trophy a cute monster or even censor it for having inappropriate parts ;D

What if they were achievement items? Like refer one friend

Illusion - I like the thought of it being something simple and funny like that~

Poggio - I mentioned that XD

AWW BUT THEN NO ONE WOULD WANNA TRADE IN THE TROPHY >.<

EDIT: Hermes, your avi makes me wanna make my own epic-looking avi.

GO, ESPY! EXPERIENCE THE WONDERS OF Blonde/Rose!

Or, a past monthly of their choice?

... Bad idea, I can't even explain why without coming off badly.

I agree with Illusion on this one, actually; it would be too much of a temptation to choose the monthly with the highest marketplace value and just sell it to get other things that you want more.

I'm just down right confused now. xD

I have a question: I got reported in January and the report expired on April but when April went by I still got the referral, does it get erased and started over again or doesn't say there forever and ever and ever and ever

They are supposed t be removed after they expire because it takes 90 days to expire, but for some reason our expire system doesn't seem to work, I will remove it for you.

I'd love extra colors. =]
