Casino

I know this will never happen because r2 bases it's patches on what 7roads does but it would be cool if there was a casino building where you could play poker against other people on your server for vouchers, balens or gold. Something to do while afk blitzing or starring at the screen looking for something to do when you completed everything already :P

1) Guild wheel and VIP wheel are already "casino" games
2)You need more specificity in your idea. Are the opponents random? If not, people will play against their alts and rig matches. Are the stakes done by players wagering their own stuff, or getting a random card a la MPD/solo arena completion? If wagers, could become a system for transferring stuff from alts to mains by rigging matches.
3) Things to do while afk blitzing = step away from the computer and do something in real life.
4) Poker? Yeah right, they'll implement slots before they implement that.

We'll in essence the casino would have tables you can sit at, rather it be randomly or one ip per. Many other games have added this feature and it does work, so it would be easier if you actually played a game that had this feature then to explain it. This is an idea with about 0% of being added but would be a cool addition, however it's seems you are only here to troll so I'll end the conversation and let other people post opinions.

The issue with being able to bet against actual players is people will just use alts to transfer vouchers, gold, and balens between accounts. Such a casino type game would need to be against the house to prevent people from abusing the system.

Fair enough , I guess. I figured random seating or one ip per table would solve that problem, seems to work in real money poker online. Against the house like blackjack would be cool but for every great Idea i'm sure someone will be there to exploit it unfortanetly.

Interesting how it's called "trolling" when I point out potential flaws in a person's suggestion, but when a moderator points out some of the same flaws it's "fair enough."

What's wrong with this?

Only downside is if someone HACKS account than do this...



It's not like transferring balens between yourself or others causes R2 to lose money, because the players ARE still paying for balen in the first place, LOL. (vouchers and gold is blah... if you think this causes problem, why not look at the amount of gold between VIP and non-VIP, LAWL 500,000+ gold, do you think those VIP breaks the game because they already can obtain lots of gold? no....)



Also, you can restrict how much of each is wagered in casino.

Such as min amount, max amount, etc
Like 5 balen min wager, 50 balen max wager
2000 gold min wager, 10000 gold max wager
etc etc.


Plus, making it random player selection would prevent self-trading easily.
Especially if it's up to 4 players playing, you can't really "cheat", because the other players prevent this.

Cause he actually gave a valid reason, 3/4 of yours on the other hand had nothing to do with my idea..

1) Guild wheel and VIP wheel are already "casino" games ( Still no reason not to add it)
3) Things to do while afk blitzing = step away from the computer and do something in real life. (your point? still no reason not to add it)
4) Poker? Yeah right, they'll implement slots before they implement that. (still no reason not to add it)

@anichaos: Eventhough I can make people cry with how much I win from them, I need to disagree with the suggestion of casino. Gambling directly with others will make people say that I gamble!

Unless it's just for fun, no rewards, then I'll play, but then not many will show up lol.

If only you had acknowledged that 1/4 in the first place (thanks for doing it now, btw)...but you didn't. I understand, it may have been really difficult to respond to my post point-by-point...as you have now done...

But let's let bygones be bygones. I forgive your oversight, because I believe you've realized the error of calling things "trolling" without taking the time to examine whether any of it is indeed valid and relevant.

Well, than just make it gold and voucher only (no balen, thus no real money involved) ;P






Also... maybe make like some sort of special prize ranking for winners after each round.

Like a random prize of gem, crystalloid, etc (things from Guild Blessing)

Where you get greater/ higher level prizes depending on your Rank when the gameplay is over.

And can make the game like 10 or 20 attempts a day before you stop getting rewards or can't wager anymore or unable to join into game.

Best yet, can make this always active like Arena Solo, so players can choose when to play and not get all complainy about time restricted.


Where to place it?
Stuff it into where Homestead is now... since we know it's been removed in CN's 2.0 version.

No i just pointed out that 3 outta 4 of your suggestions had no reasons why not to add it, the 4th one the mod explained in a better method. I guess you just don't get it, it's easier to fool someone then to convince them they have been fooled. Anyways this was an idea, to discuss, I already said it has 0% of being added, but I have seen other games have this and it was fun.

[Tehlawlfirm]

Only reason I suggested this idea is cause someone made a thread about something for the late nighters since there is nothing to do never figured it to be taken serious but just throwing ideas out there. This would be fun even if you couldn't win balens , vouchers or gold.
