Well, everyone knows the Lioden developers are trying to balance the economy. However the SB cap is the worst way they could try to do so, as this will not make GB prices go down, neither will this make SB more desired.

The two main reasons why people are hoarding SB:
- Because what do you spend your SB on? Decorations? Not everyone is into such things and once you have decorated all your lions, what then?
- Because they want to buy GB. GB has so much more uses than SB, so of course people prefer it.

Now, how can we solve this?
By making SB once more the main currency and giving it back some light and usefulness as it is supposed to have.

And how can we do it?
By introducing more items to the Monkey Business that actually arent just decorations. Items that are useful, and alter gameplay. It is a wrong setting that every useful item becomes GB only.

But if there are more SB items then what will happen to GB? GB will be less worth! All amazing features should be GB only!
I see it as a problem that everything that has a 'too good use' is always made GB only. Of course people will look to buy GB instead, hoarding SB, and make prices skyrocket. Make some amazing features SB only, to raise its value. While I understand that GB is needed and the purchase should be encouraged, if SB isnt supported either, then the economy is never going to be balanced. Plus SB is the main currency... yet it is useless if you dont trade... or dont like backgrounds.



This thread is to suggest SB items, which you can buy from the Monkey Business ONLY, so the Oasis cannot have them. Feel free to add your own ideas. Please note that the names arent the ones I would like the items to be given.

Note: I wont put prices, this is for the developers to decide what they should cost.


-Customization Options-
- Reroll: -Added-
- Basic customization kit - Thread -

-New Items-
- Playtoy pack: -Added-
- Critter pack: -Added-
- Carcass pack: -Added-
- Quest guide: This might give your lion +5-10% chance to find the item or animal you need for your quest. Of course for NPCs you will need to be in the right environment.
- Anti-illness and healing items: If the sicknesses and wounds are introduced, there could be SB items to help heal the lion, lionesses and cubs. (-Original Idea-)
- Cub protecting items: If cub mortality is introduced, there could be items that help avoiding it. (-Original Idea-)

-Game Play-
- Energy tank: -added-
- Offer to snake: -added-
- Smell bad: The item makes you smell bad, decreasing the chance for enemy NPC encounter, but has a slight bad effect on impression too. (-Original Idea-)
- Catnip: This item will increase your impression slightly and attract slightly more females, but also catlike predators. (-Suggested by DragonSage-)
- Feed all Button: -Added as GB item-
- More accurate Scrying stone: For a small fee, it will also list you the markings the cubs will have.
- Adolescent preview: What the name says. Just put in the lion ID and it will show you its adolescent image. (-Suggested by DragonSage-)
- Adult preview: -added-
- Titles for Lionesses: If the titles will be implemented, they could be sold for SB. (-Suggested by PlaguedRuby - Thread-)

-New Games-
- Game tokens: You buy it from the Monkey Business (For example can be a Dice) and you can roll it to get a random prize. (- Suggested by Raksha-)
- The Wishing Rock: Once or twice a day sacrifice some SB to the Wishing Rock and perhaps your wishes will come true. The fee should probably be around 100 SB perhaps even more. I'd say the odds should be reasonable, perhaps 1 in 3 for something good, 1 in 6 for something bad and the rest of the time nothing. It could be used by any lion, the effects would be applied to the lion who used it. (-Original Idea-)
- A daily or weekly raffle: -added-
- Maze: Successful navigation through the maze and puzzle obsticals under the time limit would result in a small exp boost or stat boost. (-Suggested by DragonSage-)


-SB Fees-
- Plus Hunting party: -added-
- Subordinate Male Slot: -added-
- Signature token: Using this grants you the ability to have a signature. Can be rented for a week, then needs to be re-purchased. (-Original Idea-)

It looks like a few of these items will be added soon since there's new artwork for a Random Eye Roller, Food Bundle and Toy Bundle to name a few

yay nice to hear. It is good to see SB getting some uses.
I did ask myself what these are and looked in the Oasis -instinct much lol- and couldt find the items. So they will be SB. yay!

They were coding yesterday and didn't finish so hopefully we'll find out soon how many new SB items there are. Some of the items may be GB (the marking adder and marking remover for example) but I'm hoping the majority will be SB

Yeah, as we already said, customization -custom markings and colors- should stay GB. But it is nice to see something like the ability to add or remove markings as a separate item from the 10GB version. I myself would be interested to roll a new color for my lion -dark golden- and add it the white undercover only. With less GB needed. But for this we might need a wild color roll or a very basic customization for SB where no custom just wild colors can be chosen o.O Because really, I am not too keen to pay 10 GB just to make my lion dark golden...

Things I do not support:

1.

Signature token: Using this grants you the ability to have a signature. Can be rented for a week, then needs to be re-purchased.

2. - Carcass pack: Gives you 5-10 random carcasses.

3. A daily or weekly raffle: The number of winning tickets and the prize pool would be dependent upon the number of entries. If a ticket cost 50 SB only 20 SB should go to the prize pool. For every 1000 SB that is in the prize pool, there would be one winning ticket drawn and the pool would be evenly split between the winners.

4. Maze: Successful navigation through the maze and puzzle obsticals under the time limit would result in a small exp boost or stat boost.

I really dont like these ideas. 1. is my LEAST favorite. Why do we have to pay a fee to express our personality's and likes? I believe that sigs should be free and fun to look at. It makes your page fun and is one of the things that makes this site 20% cooler. c:

Yes, I'd also know why all these items are listed as 'not liked'.
I also think that a sig token is a good bargain. Right now there are no sigs implemented, so why not give them a reason to do so? This might be another way to drain the SB reserve of players. Of course it wouldnt cost 1000s of SBs, but could be something you can pay for with a day or two exploring without even needing to sell anything.

Ya but if the mods do decide to do this and make it a hefty amount of SB to have a sig then how are poor peeps like me going to pay for it? I dont have a SB stash and I dont earn them by the hundreds. But all these other things can drain their savings.

As I said, cheetah, nothing that is SB will cost a ton of money -the admins pointed it out. Even 'poor' people can buy it if you want. or save up for it now. Simply to gain more SB you will have to explore a little more. Not just once or twice a day, this is what this game should be about. Keep exploring and you can gain enough money to save up for future updates.

What do you think I do all the time? I explore and explore some more. I think the idea of having to pay to have a profile is ridiculous. We should be able to post what we like and express our selves without haveing to pay money. And no, poor people can not pay for it. Isen't that the whole point of me saying poor people cant pay for it? now why would I say I was poor if I didn't mean it?

You wouldn't be playing for a profile. The 'signature' thing would only be if you wanted a signature on your posts in chatter. As an example I'm going to am a fake signature for this reply. The thing below the line would be my signature.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This would be the signature. You'd pay for having a small line, image, or whatever you wish at the bottom of each of your posts/replies

Ya I know what those are. But I think as profiles and sigs as the same thing. xD Ya I guess you would pay for that but I was thinking about the actual profiles on your page that has your lions territory's info. Woops sorry bout that.
