As many of you know, your Former Pride page is where you go to store all of your deceased lionesses (and if you didn't know this, go check it out, it's pretty awesome). For a lot of people, including myself, this is like laying a lion to rest, and therefore, it's a pretty big deal.

As makes sense, to store a lion beyond the set free amounts you get when you join, you need to pay a small fee of SB to gain another slot. This makes sense because it's additional information that the servers need to hold indefinitely. And while it may not seem like a lot on an individual basis, once you have several hundred of players doing it, it's going to add up. So to sum that little part up, this is not to contest that there is a price attached to gaining new slots in the Former Pride page.

Long term player are starting to run into a problem, though.

With each slot you purchase, the price goes up by 25 SB, a rather modest sum when you think of all that data that's now being stored. However. When you reach around the 1200 SB mark, the price switches to 1GB and stays there. That's a problem.

I don't know about you guys, but I can't always rely on other members to have GB for trade, that the current market price for GB is steady at 1200SB (and there are certain events during the year which historically have seen GB prices go through the roof), or that I can afford to donate personally.

So what I suggest is this. Have the option to pay either the 1200 SB or the 1 GB. This frees up the player to continue storing their beloved lionesses while still paying the fee. SB is the main currency of the site and should remain an option on one of the site's most important aspects.

SUGGESTIONS MADE BY OTHER USERS

By Jacimagicwhitedeer
Along with GB/SB prices, include a monthly currency from that month's event.
Initial response
Not sure that it would be practical in the long run and for one large reason. The prides have little if anything to do with the monthly event (aside from the breeding in the events every so often). I also feel that, from a coding sense, this would be a very large undertaking and the overall aim of this thread is to make life easier, and to me, that includes staff as well.



This suggestion has 150 supports and 3 NO supports.

I support. I think after the 1200 Sb mark it should give players a choice of paying with SB or GB. Not every lioden user has GB.I like to store all my lionesses that have passed on. I don't have GB. I think when the game changes the price to GB to get another slot, it makes it unfair to players that don't have GB. I do agree with your suggestion.

Here is my suggestion what if you could also get a slot by paying in event currency. For example one slot one would cost 1200 SB, 1 GB , and or 25 scarab beetles. Of course the event currency would change with the month. Please let me know what you think of my suggestion. If you like that is great. If you don't like it that is fine, but please explain why.

@Jacimagicwhitedeer

While your idea is interesting (and I will note it on the front page for continuing discussion) I'm not sure that it would be practical in the long run and for one large reason. The prides have little if anything to do with the monthly event (aside from the breeding in the events every so often). I also feel that, from a coding sense, this would be a very large undertaking and the overall aim of this thread is to make life easier, and to me, that includes staff as well.

Thank you for considering my idea. I do know the pride have little do with the event, i was referring to the former pride currency. I wasn't sure if you would like my idea or not. I do understand that coding does take time. I do agree after 1200 Sb mark it should give you choice between paying with SB or GB. I don't like that fact after 1200 SB mark the game makes you pay only in GB. Which makes it unfair to players that want to store more lionesses, but don't have any GB to pay for a slot.

In regards to the event currency the different types are worth different amounts. For example, 200 dung beetles in December is worth far more (because it can get you an ice applicator) than 200 meteorite shards in July. Because of how much the players value each currency it would be hard to determine a set price, much in the same way that Lunaris mentioned that players value gb differently depending on the time of year.
I support the original idea 100% though, sometimes it's better value to pay in sb and vice versa :)

EDIT: Skipping the waiting time on hunts also has an option for sb OR gb, which I personally find very handy, so it's not like similar options don't already exist in-game ^^

@FlipicusPup - In regards to the hunting having the same option - Yes! Exactly. There are so many things in this game which now offer us an either/or option. Hunting, Studding, Trades, etc. So it's not like the coding is impossible to do for this suggestion (though it obviously would need to be reformatted for this particular situation - code is not one size fits all).

I agree wholeheartedly. I have an abundance of SB right now, but no GB, and no means by which to pay for them with real money. It would be really nice if this were a thing.

Support. I hate that I have had to stop storing my lions who have died, but I just can't afford it. This is a great idea, but I'm also going to add that the constant price increase is insane!

I agree with you. I don't like the constant price increase. The way it it is now is insane.

While I see your point, I can somewhat understand why there is an increase, from both a data sense, and a "luxury item" sense as staff likes to call these things. Data space is not infinite in servers, and like I stated in the original post, it may not seem like much on an individual scale, it adds up. This is more stress on the server that needs to be accounted for. It makes sense that you need to pay to have these slots. Maybe it's price does need to be adjusted further, that much I can agree on, but I can see why there is an increase to begin with.

I support the original idea, but not the event currency part due to it being too easy.
