Hello there you who has lost your way to this errr... possibly useless idea of mine. I'm not sure if this has been suggested earlier or not, but I have an idea.

The phrase "I have an idea" never goes any further from there. But this one actually seems pretty good, at least in my own head it does.

Now, among many other subjects I have studied finance, business, investment and many types of sales and advertisement strategies. Yes, I am fairly bored on a daily basis so I like to study on my free time.

I have recently taken an interest in banks and the way they work and offer their services while still earning money. Meaning, how does a bank get it's income.

With this it would be great to see a bank system in Lioden where there could be a place where you can take loans that you would have to pay off in x amount of days or the interests would start to round up every x amount of time, let's say every week for example.

The person who would give out the loans and later collect them back with possible interests would be for example a clan leader. (usually clans have a lot of SB and GB to spare) and that way it could be an actual player who would actually gain from this system.

If you made an entire section for banks and such it would soon lose it's value. So "owning" a bank would be a rare thing to have and it would need certain requirements.

As for paying back in time with the right amount there needs to be a strong system build to work for the purpose of loans and such. Like for example every person could have their own personal track of how much SB or GB they gain in average in x amount of time. And based on that they could be granted a loan or turned away. ----> Why you would ask? Well if the person never earns anything then it would be impossible for them to pay back with piled up interests.

This is how far I have had the energy to puzzle around with this idea. There is a lot that you could add or change. And of course, the game developers would know best where to place such a bank system.

Th reason for suggesting this and actually bringing it up is because I sometimes feel like it would be A GREAT thing to have a certain amount of SB right away that I could pay off a little later on. Now I could ask from another player for a loan, but if it were me who would be giving out the loan I would never do it, because there is no guarantee or rule/law to make sure that I will be payed back. PLUS, this would be a great way to earn more SB and/or GB.

I am terribly sorry if this was written a bit sloppily or if it was a bit all over the place, but I hope you got a hint of what I have been thinking lately.

Ps. Please do share your ideas and thoughts about this! The more refined I can get this idea to be the better =^w^= Says the perfectionist . . . haha!

I like this idea quite a bit, but it might be hard to implement. Supported, either way :)

In practical terms, I just can’t see how this would work I’m afraid. The idea of an 'average' amount of SB/GB a player earns in a certain timeframe seems like an impossible thing to calculate or code. Unlike real life where banks give loans/mortgages/whatever based on salaries (or often won’t, in fact, if for instance you’re self-employed so your income varies), LD just doesn’t work on that kind of system, and earnings/outgoings are pretty much random for a lot of us.

Honestly it seems like this would be a complete hot mess to even think about trying to code, let alone all the extra hassle for staff having to police it and ensure rules were kept to if it were added. I can’t see that it’s needed, or that the usefulness would outweigh the trouble of implementing and monitoring it.

Although I do hold concerns about coding, I do think that something like this would be interesting to try and work into the game. Now, that's concerning how possible it is, as what Myr stated, but it isn't something I myself would immediately toss aside. I'll support this so the staff can see it, and maybe they'll figure out something to do with it!

@Myr you have an interesting point there. But my suggestion doesn't have to be made in such grand scale. And what comes to the coding I know very little about, but as for the calculating the average of a players income is actually not that hard. Every player has some kind of number of earnings everyday, even if it was just between 5-10 SB or between 1000-2000 SB per day, plus the possible GB earned. -And that does not include any SB/GB won as a prize or in a gamble.

But like @adamymous said I'm eager to know the opinion of the staff and weather or not it is easy or hard for them to accomplish, and if it could be used in a smaller scale. c:
