What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:

Main City Server
​

Short title for your suggestion:

5 Year Member Prestige
​

What are you suggesting:

I'm suggesting that a new prestige be introduced that rewards long time members on the server. There are some of us who have been an active part of the community for years now and have contributed on numerous occasions to help better the server. It seems logical to reward people with prestige for their loyalty and dedication to the server. A lot of us have played on this server for years, however we don't have the time or money to grind up for the current prestige requirements.

I'm suggesting that players who have been registered on the forums for over 5 years and were ranked President+ on our previous main server should be allowed to apply for this prestige rank. I believe the rank requirement is something that can be debated amongst everyone however this is a solid benchmark rank in my opinion.​

Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:

Firstly, it acts as a sort of substantive reward to the players who have made the server what it is today rather than the simple anniversary medal we get on the forums. I know a lot of us would love the extra boost so that we can continue to play and be apart of the server we love.

Secondly, it helps older members return and get back on their feet so that they can get to their previous rank from the previous main server. With our new server it can seem very discouraging to many old returning users that they have essentially lost all of their ranks and assets from the previous server. Giving them the extra money making boost can possibly stimulate these players and encourage them to return to the community.

All in all, I think it's a strong incentive that not only helps current player retention but also encourages old players to return and become involved.

One suggestion per form:

I Understand.​

 

There’s people who play today that signed up a few years ago and who will never be able to spend 10 hours a day on a Minecraft server to get those prestige ranks. Something like this can be seen as a thank you to those same players who have kept the community alive throughout all of these years. It also incentivizes old users by giving them an extra boost when they realize they have to start all over again.

This suggestion is less about just giving them prestige for the hell of it because they’re old and more about retaining and rewarding old players through the extra incentive. Believe me, I don’t want to just inflate the economy, but I feel that there’s a certain playerbase that deserves to be recognized for being a consistent part of this community for so long. Additionally incentivizing old players to return and be apart of the community again is something that this server desperately needs these days.

I think most of us old players could agree that being awarded a medal is pretty worthless. I understand where you’re coming from completely, but realistically a medal means nothing in comparison to how much some users have contributed to the server.
