Credits, Shops and real revenue?

Introducing
Jailbreak Credits Shop
Created by: Lolitsnico​

Keypoints

• Ability to spend credits
• Increase the need for credits
• Increasing income for eGO

Summary:
We all know we have the ability to earn credits? But what are credits?
Credits literally just exist for gangs. Thats it, and to coinflip. Well what if we can create a fun way to spend credits while increasing revenue for eGO?


JAILBREAK
My plan is to revolutionize the way we earn and spend our credits.
Upon spawning, CTs have a certain list they can purchase from. They have map weapons or they can buy their own weapons from the shop at a price. Terrorists (prisoners) would be able to use /shop to purchase items as well, but obviously super expensive.
In the US prison system, it is fairly easy to gain contraband. However, it comes with a hefty price to do so. This legitimacy would be easy to implement for our prisoners in Jailbreak. In jailbreak, the shops may include

Warden:

• Riot Shield (1,000 CREDITS)
• Freeze Grenade (This literally will stun/freeze prisoners to halt them ASAP for 5 seconds) (2,000 CREDITS)

Guards + Warden:

• Flashbang (20 CREDITS)
• Smoke Grenade (20 CREDITS)
• Abundance of weapons (Can range from 50-5000 credits FOR CTS ONLY)
• extra ammo (20 CREDITS)
• Kevlar (20 CREDITS)
• Health Shot (20 CREDITS)
• x-ray/heat vison (10,000 CREDITS)

Prisoners:

• Flash Bang (200 CREDITS)
• Smoke Grenade(200 CREDITS)
• Glock or Deagle (For a HEFTY HEFTY price) (20,000 CREDITS)
• Frag Grenade (200 CREDITS)
• Kevlar (200 CREDITS)
• Health Shot (200 CREDITS)
• Talk Power (Not having to wait x time to be able to speak as a T) 300 Credits
• Glow (selecting this makes you glow. Not really important or useful, but its cool and id buy it) (100 CREDITS)

TTT

Detectives:

• Riot Shield
• Freeze Grenade (This literally will stun/freeze prisoners to halt them ASAP for 5 seconds)
• CSI Kit to See who shot who once you find a body

Innocents + Traitors

• Flashbang
• Smoke Grenade
• Abundance of weapons
• extra ammo
• Kevlar
• Health Shot
• x-ray/heat vison
• Frag Grenade
• Kevlar
• Health Shot

Increasing Revenue

If we gave people an incentive, a REASON to donate, they will come flocking for the right reason.
If we make credits buy able with real currency, they come flocking.
You can either purchase credits outright, or buy DS and get the VIP privileges + an extra boost of credits every few minutes like our current system already has.


Purchasing Credits:
1,000 Credits - 1$
5,000 Credits - 4$
10,000 Credits 7$
20,000 Credits 10$
50,000 Credits 25$
100,000 Credits 45$

so on, and so forth. Its an EASY way to make money if applied in the right areas.


I understand eGO has a budget and a goal each month. I understand this month we were short 300 dollars 6 days from out goal. If we can implement this system, it costs nothing for us to make, turn it into a beta, try it out and see how it does. It will increase our visits, increase our revenue, and increase the enjoyment on the server. I honestly can not think of one issue other than people not liking change. But we were okay with Gangs pretty easily. Im sure we can modify the idea, switch it up a bit.

For the record, I don't really play CS. I'm going to be zero help to you.

Figured you would be able to chime in on the revenue and purchasing of credits part to see if it was even feasible to do something like that.

We don't let Adam touch money around here, for good reason.

For real though, he has nothing to do with finances lol.

 

[SirNico]

Ah gotcha, Well I tried. Lol. my apologies then.

In the future, just don't tag anyone The appropriate people will see it as needed.

Sounds about right.

Although you may have good intentions with this suggestion, p2w (pay to win) is not the way to go.

ehhh, im not sure I like the idea of being able to buy credits, this would somewhat turn jailbreak/ttt into pay2win. Other than that it seems like a good idea. Besides DS already get extra credits in jailbreak so this could increase people buying dedicated supporter.

Anyways to respond onto this... The servers could end up using a system for something that could divulge into a shop, from this would come a lot of cosmetic based items.. Previously said before I don't believe players of the server are going to enjoy having all of these P2W items into a store that everyone can buy. Surely enough it could increase the revenue for the community as a whole but stepping towards players paying for them to gain advantage on the server isn't something I think would be helpful at all. At some point it would cause a lot of frustration but the whole cosmetic portion and giving players a reason to save credits or gain credits is a good idea all together.

I know that we're still currently looking into more benefits for Dedicated Supporters to give back as a thank you for the support, truly I would start to keep a list of ideas for the list. I would much love to see more things added for those who have supported/support the server so we can continue to give you guys a server to play on and create an experience for you all. Coming back to the shop idea, it's not a bad idea at all and I'll contact Counter-Strike Leadership regarding it as it could give you guys more things to have on Jailbreak or the other servers.

We had HATS at one point a year ago, and it got removed, I dont know why.

The Hats plugin was removed because of the latest version of the server(s) could not support the hats plugin and would cause the server to become either unplayable or it wouldn't work at all. I know we're attempting to look into finding a fix or an alternative so we can get this back for Dedicated Supporters.

in what US prison are they sneaking in flashbangs HE grenades and guns

in what US prison do they consider knives not contraband

boom

Hats are nice, but please don't bring skins or stuff like that. Every other JB server has skins and it's annoying, ugly, and doesn't fit in with the theme of the game/maps. (+ they make the hitbox weird and stuff)

Truly how I feel when I glance at the forums now.

 

[SirNico]

Man that's rude. I'm just trying to help the community out.

 

[Corrupted]

Being able to buy ITEMS for credits shouldn't be a thing. ESPECIALLY buying guns, you can just buy a glock or a deagle kill warden and basically it's a t round. Also being able to purchase credits makes it p2w, which sucks. If anything credits should only be for cosmetics and stuff like that.

If you add guns and stuff like that it will make it hard on the CT's, they can't do anything, someone gets gun shoots warden easy T round.

Hitboxes were a thing I never really considered, but if we could switch between the T models built into the game that would be really cool. Some of them do look much nicer than others, and I?m almost positive all of the hitboxes are the same.

 

[SirNico]

Well. I played on a jailbreak server in cs 1.6 and there is there I kinda got the idea from.
They sold credits, or you can sit on the server and earn them. It was extremely hard to get anything decent other than talk power, or glow.
But once you did get a glock it was rare. Being as the pistol would be so expensive, you can either pay for it. But i doubt people will when they can just turn a corner or a secret and they can find one.

Its extremely easy to get a gun in game. It would be MUCH harder to save up the credits and pay for it. I don't get why thats so hard to grasp.

 

[lily]

-1 i really disagree with this. if you add buying anything other than purely cosmetic things then it ruins balance, and removes a whole aspect of rebelling (finding weapons). someoen suggested being able to buy different t models, and i think that would be cool. but please never add anyhting other than cosmetics to jb's shop

100% agree, I?ve explored other ?JB? servers before landing here, and I have to say seeing skeleton skins and Cortana skins running around shooting the warden is both the most awkward/hilarious thing I?ve seen on csgo. If cosmetics were considered, I would rather have it on a much smaller scale.

No one is going to buy it, unless it gives some type of advantage. Like gangs. Gangs gave a way (the only way) to spend credits (on one item). It gave no advantage but no one cares about credits. If we just give them simple stuff like glow, talk power without having to wait for the global unmute, and changing st color? no one is going to buy it.

Yes but it's always something to grind up to. People don't buy stuff just because it gives an advantage, take for example the golden knife, it doesn't give an advantage so why did people buy it? Because you could flex it in chat or maybe just because you like the way it looks.

I think he’s more talking about purchasing credits with real money.

 

[SirNico]

Okay so as SmeaR said, he is going to try and bring this up to Leadership to get it in motion. I am aware a LOT of people disagree with adding things that give an advantage. So instead of keep repeating the same thing over and over, lets try to come up with some NON Advantage things to purchase.
Lets start making a list? Because its apparent no one wants guns or anything. And, ive mentioned this NUMEROUS times before. Even if guns were added, it would be so damn expensive people wouldn't want to buy it because they can just find a free one in the map.
