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-)

I thought it might be interesting to convert certain GB-only site features to SB. Like ... do you know anyone who would actually waste a GB to skip a Cups Game wait time?? No way.

I think putting an appropriate SB price on that would be wonderful. Maybe even a SB price tag to skip the waiting time for hunting (of course, it would have to be a reasonably high price so that people didn't abuse it and just spam-hunt all day long to get their lioness levels up).

With that being said, this post was a wonderful idea. ♥ The idea about stacked items becoming special decor? Genius! The perfect motivation for people to get out there and collect. There should be more displayable rewards like this for diligent gameplay and hard work. Mad props, full support.

I'd also really like to get behind the suggestion for stat-boosting, equippable items once the altered exploration and new possible battle system are implemented. I'd absolutely buy an item like that, so long as it's applied with fair limitations (only a certain number of stat-boosting items equipped at one time, etc).

Thank you for the support. I will list your idea at 'fees'. Sounds actually good. I also think that 1GB just to skip time one time is a little too much. But then again, I am not buying GB atm, so I dont know. But if I would -and I will with paypal if it is possible here-, I wouldnt waste it on that ._.

I'm a habitual buyer and I'm definitely of the opinion that if you would waste currency that you spend real money on to bypass a 45 minute wait -- especially on something as unreliable as the cups game -- it's time to learn some patience. >_>;

This idea originates from this thread.

I would like to see an addition to the Scrying Stone that would allow you to see the adult and adolescent images of already born cubs. It would only be a small fee, but I believe it would be a heavily used feature. I know myself and others have accidentally purchased "custom" lionesses when trying to see what our cubs look like, and it would eliminate that issue as well.

I support most of this, too lazy to say what I do and don't, but there are some fabulous ideas in there ! I would die to get an adult previewer. xD

Thank you for mentioning where the original idea came from. I would hate to be thought as an idea thief lol
Adolescent and Adult preview is already within the suggestions. Although, not at the Scrying stone.

I quite literally don't support any of it.

If you can pay for all these goodies with silver beetles than outside of customs there'll be no need for gold beetle purchase

Which means less real life money to support the game.

Which means it'll be harder for the game designer to pay for the bandwidth of the game. Meaning less additions. Meaning less improvement.

If you can't see that... well...

Darkness Falls, even with these suggestions there are still PLENTY of GB features. Did you even read the first post?

There is frankly NOTHING to do with SB right now, and it is kind of ridiculous. People are hoarding SB because they have nothing to spend it on.

This is a FREE GAME. All of the nice items should not be for RL money. The "free" currency should always be the main one, or else this becomes pay-to-play.

couldn't someone stick this thread up? I find it extremely helpful since it collects all sorts of ideas including links to the original thread so it is also helpful in order to check whether an idea has been posted already.

This thread suggested introducing illnesses and injuries with a possible SB item to help speed up healing/cure the condition

I'm growing increasingly annoyed with all the "no GB buys would hurt the site, waaaaa!" complaints. People, On every game like this one, cash-paid items are perks-only! Meaning, they are there for the select few players - around 10-20% of all the players on the game~ - who choose to buy the cash-only currency from the site.

And here's the newsflash - That does not change! No matter how many players, no matter how many items, there are always no more and no less than 10-20% of all players combined that make cash donations to these games, Lioden included. So please, stop the pointless complaints along those lines already.
< /growling >


And now...

We've been pondering the cubs mortality idea for a while now and incorporated in it are SB items that can offset the death chance for cubs. They are not expansive (3, 5 and 10 SBs respectively), but the numbers add up when you consider the average 2 cubs per litter, average three females nursing at teh same time and the 12 days period during which the items could be use on growing cubs.

Aside from that, I'm liking and supporting these ideas. I'm especially partial to game tokens because they open up so many future opportunities for said tokens' use.
