Tip-like advertisment for shops
« on: 30 Nov 2015, 01:53:39 »
Right now we have /advertise which allows you to pay to advertise something to the server. This however only affects the people that are online at the time and is really only for current events. Say someone just built a new shop and wants to advertise it, with this you'll be able to buy an ad that run through the server every so often, like tips (maybe you pay for an ad that specifies what type of shop you have). This way players aren't constantly spamming in chat. It will also affect everyone that plays within the time of how long the ad runs for, not just the players online at the time of the original announcement. Whether its old players promoting their shops, or new players starting up there shops, i think this could help them.

+1 this suggestion. Although shops and visits are constantly changing. It could be quite difficult for the system to keep up with what's been changed, added, removed, etc. but I do like the idea if somehow it could be implemented.

+1 from me as well, this would be a great addition.  To keep the list of "tips" down,  the person paying for the advertisement would be paying for amounts of time anywhere from 2 days, to a week max.

+1 for me, It is a good idea what i would love to see but with all the shops around lots of ads will be going and it might annoy other players just like why Foob took off the thing with {PlayerName} just got a black friday deal.

it would be set so it runs one at a time peridocially,not all at once, having it this way will also help the stores stand out so you don't read about 5 of the same stores at once, it would also reduce spam

i was thinking itd run an ad every like 5 min and if 20 people have an add then the 21st 5th min it'd repeat the start

While I can understand the reason for wanting this it, I imagine if it were repeating it would just become more random chat that people ignore, which then makes them even less useful to on the whole. Currently with it being a one-off it stands out because it isn't something commonly seen in the chat.

As long as you aren't being SPAMy and follow the rules with how you're advertising your shop you can mention it in the chats. Just try to be respectful about it.
