Hotel Business Auction

Deophite18 · #1 01-26-2009, 07:18 AM

This week we will be selling off the Era Hotel to the highest bidder. The winner will be able to select the name.The levels have been slightly redone by DH and scripts are being redone by Angel. It will have the following features:

Rooms/Suites rentable. - Player controlled. You must have someone on staff to book the room.
Room Service - You must bring food to your guest.
Each person that rents a room gets a reserved parking space.
A radio throughout the Hotel. - Music and text.
A full gym including spar room.
A full bar.
A "computer" based renting system.

You make money from each room/suite rented.
The highest bidder will still have to pay a lease on the building. This is a weekly fee, failure to pay the lease will result being closed off to the public. If you miss 3 week payment. The building and business will be sold off to the highest bidder.You will also have a small "electrical" fee. Not paying this will result in a dark hotel.

The auction will be held this Saturday
More business will be re-opened shortly following the same plan.

this doesn't solve the issue of staff favoritism, obviously the users with the most money got it from their privileged positions due to their friends, all you are doing is simply giving them more businesses and money.

Sadly it's hard to reverse the damage that was done by previously administrations. This is our attempt to try and prove we no longer want to use favoritism. All business will soon be following the same path.
We are all ears to suggestions, we need input to improve it.

I think itd be better if there were applications or something on how you get these bizzes but just make the bills and fees a little higher to get money out ;o

Applications require human element and that will make favoritism come into play, What we are trying to avoid.

This way if the person who buy's it goes idle or loses too much money by not running it well, They will lose the business and its up for grabs again. We want people to run the business well.

Obviously your bitter about how the old admins favored their friends. But let me assure you we aren't like that and I for one don't show favoritism towards anyone and always try to be fair. If the person who wins the business in the auction runs it lazily then he or she will lose it and will have just wasted their money. That's just how this business is set up. You actually have to work more for your money and at the same time helps the economy out a little.

Let me guess? This aucation is also somewhere in the middle of the night for me?

if the rent system is computerized why the hell do you need a player to own it? you're just giving free money out.

Idea:

For the players that won't be able to be online at the time, they can ask Deo to have in mind how much $$$$$ they're willing to offer...

Or this could ruin the whole point? xD

It should just be auctioned off regular...If someone wants to bid on it bad enough they will be on for it

Shouldn't you guys be focusing more on the reset rather than giving the players more stuff to cry about afterwords? If you keep adding stuff now there won't be much more to expect out of the reset. Giving away businesses now is just going to get the players hyped up into thinking that they will have the rights to own that particular business after the reset.

Plus, isn't there a new gmap? Why are there stuff still being added to the current one?

MysticX2X · #12 01-26-2009, 04:15 PM

This reset has been talked about for a whole entire year. Why don't you just carry on and do it already instead of thinking of how to correct an already inflated economy which is already naturally ****ed with the amount of dupings that have happened, not to mention staff spawns. All this hotel system would do would be to make the richest person even richer. Everybody is anticipating this reset anyways.

Because this is a game, People need things to do. We have added nothing to the map/gmap. We are just re-opening up older parts of the map to encourage usage - Tired of the place being a ghost town.

See above. We can't reset till we are sure the economy can control itself. We have checks and balances being put in place to ensure the reset would be the last one.

Yeah but does it really take a year+ to come up with an idea for economy control? People have been posting up ideas to solve that for the longest now. Has anyone tried looking into their concepts or is the staff team not looking anywhere outside of RC?

No the current team just got in control. Give us a little while, we kind of had to hit the ground running. We will find a solution and we will keep the players involved in our decisions.
