Hey guys!

So, I'm sure you've seen me grumbling about the lack of SB sinks and expressing my worry over what is going to happen to the market. Well, I've been trying to think of ways to help fix this, and I've come up with a few! I will post them here. If you guys can help me think of more, that'd be great! After all, we need to get SB out of the system quicker than we're putting it in, and right now that just isn't happening.

NOTE: I will be valuing GB at 900SB for all suggestions considering the Marking Opacity change is 2GB, yet sold for 1800SB, therefore valuing GB at 900SB each.

Ideas



Hunting Wait Time
Currently if we want to hurry our lionesses and finish their hunt early, we have to pay 1GB. I think this should be an SB cost instead, something around 400-900SB (yes, valuing less than it currently is, I know). I don't see it affecting anything since you would still have to pay for it to finish early, as well as still having to pay to add more hunts if you decide to use this for all 10 hunts.

Exploring: Out of Energy
Right now when you run out of energy in Explore, it links you to the Energy Boost in the Oasis. I think it should instead link you to either the Energy Boost AND the Bone Marrow. This way you can easily pay that little 80SB and keep exploring, and it gets more people to know about it.

Bone Marrow -- by Aventyr || 'Ducky' (#4490)
Currently it is rather cheap and allows us to get 20% of our male's energy back. However, the Energy Boost is 2GB (1800SB if applying the rate mentioned above) and fills it to 100%. Using this as reasoning, the Bone Marrow would be better priced at 250-300SB.

Scar Bundle
The Scar Bundle is one of the items I believe we could also have as a Monkey Business item. It's not important to the game and wouldn't hurt anything to have at an SB price as well, something around 900SB.

Change Lion Name
I think we should have this in the Monkey Shop as well. Having it at an SB price (again, 900SB) would not hurt anything, and the name would still have to be unique.

Special Lioness
Currently we only pay 50SB to attempt to impress her. Considering how special and desired these girls are, I think we should have to pay a slightly higher fee, something like 100-150SB.

EDIT: The items I'm proposing to be in the Monkey Shop would STILL be available in the Oasis for GB, much like the Opacity Changer is in both shops.


Those are all my ideas! Feel free to comment your opinion as well as any ideas you might have!

This is a very bad idea. Gb is the premium currency, how the heck are they supposed to make money if there is not a good reason to buy gb? The players will want this, sure, but it would ruin the game. Other things would cost gb instead you know.

There are plenty of reasons to use GB, the website makes most of it's GB sales from people buying early retirement, and premium items like instabirth, aging crystals and zebra hearts. Currently, SB has little use comparatively, which is why it has so little value.

Not to mention lion customizations.

SB is the main currency of the site yet had little use compared to GB. We need to give SB it's value by making SB sinks. And even of a feature is changed to cost SB instead of GB there will anyways be other GB items to balance that out. This wouldn't ruin the site so much as give SB more uses and purpose.

Support.

I don't support this. I know doing things without GB is difficult but I like the challenge of the game without them as well as the incentive to support such an awesome site and the people who run it. It's not like this site can stay awesome for free.

It's not about making gameplay easier :/ It's about giving SB a purpose, which they don't at the moment. As the game is right now, the only reason to use SB (save buying lions/art and other things from users) is to add lioness hunts and buy GB ._. Yes, you also buy the occasional aging stone, as well. I won't count the monkey shop decor as an SB sink as it's not technically part of the game, and doesn't affect gameplay :3

I think the skip hunt should be 1000 SB along with the re-name being the same price and the scar bundle. It seems like a better number than 900, but thats me. xD

I think the special lioness needs to be around.. hmm.. 150, yeah.

so support. xD

Maybe make other oasis things that are 1 GB be available for SB in the monkey shop?

Like marking removal, cub sex changer [iffy there].

The only reason I save/use my SB is to buy GB and to buy marking Opacity Changers and Random Eye Changers on whims XD

SB need more use, not incredible GB-hindering uses. But more use.

Though on Out of Energy, you just want a link to Bone Marrow in the MS. Not really a sink, just a extra link.

To Larry-Man and Quetzl:

None of these suggestions are taking away from the GB value in the game. Currently I don't know of anyone who really spends GB on the things I mentioned, hence why giving it an SB price would be ideal.

To Cat:

Yeah, I know it's an extra link, but perhaps the ease of it being right there would prompt more buying? xD

I also added an edit to clarify any misunderstandings :3

I think bone marrow might need a boost in price.

80 SB for a +20% energy item.

A +100% item in the oasis is 2 GB, or by their conversion rate, 1800SB.

Breaking down 1800SB, it is currently 18 SB per energy point. Multiply that by 20, and you get 360.

Reasonably, the bone marrow should be 360SB. But, since it is a one use per day, maybe 250-300 would be more reasonable.

Why is the marking opacity changer 1800sb but 1gb in the oasis? Yet in the oasis 2gb is valued at 150sb?

I agree with everything here except the bone marrow, since it's only used once a day it should only be 150sb max.

Marking Opacity changer is 2GB in the Oasis. And the conversion rate that the Oasis offers is based off when the game first started and things cost less. I believe they leave it so low so as to encourage players to sell GB among themselves seeing as we already have a shortage.

what about the SB to GB ratio in the oasis, currently we only get 150sb for 1 GB! its rediculous expecialy when we can sell them for 1200-1500sb or more in the TC. Maybe making it higher like 1000-1200sb?

I wouldn't like that Coldwater, it would destroy player-to-player trading for Gb X3

Plus it would heavily influence those who sell for anything above 1,200 SB and those who sell under it.

The conversion in the Oasis is GB to SB, and it should stay as is (or be done away with all together!). If we raised it to slightly match the market, people would be more tempted to sell to the Oasis for that guaranteed SB and would not sell to other players. We would have less GB in circulation, therefore raising the price of it due to lower supply and constant demand. That and we would have more SB being added into circulation, which is the opposite of what I'm suggesting.
