What should and shouldn't be monetized

[Vaulken]

The Nostalrius team will probably want to monetize this somehow and we need ideas that give people meaning full things that don't heavily impact how the game functions. I propose things they can monetize for $$$ as a means of donation reward should be based around novelty and comsmetics that does not affect buying power or player power. The logic here is "would blizz put this in their own cashshop?":


- Rare/Novelty Mounts
- Rare/Novelty Pets
- +10% Exp potion for 1 hour
- Temporary appearance changing potions (Deviate Delights?)
- Temporary size changing potions (Voodoo Witchdoctor?)
- Faction change
- Appearance change
- Bank space
- Talent respec


Things that should NOT be sold:

- Flasks/Scrolls (They were a big part of farming and should remain as so)
- Nothing that can be vendored for gold


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To encourage people to vote, people can gain tokens after voting for Nostalrius and then spend those tokens to purchase said items if they have enough. Of course you could also spend $$$ to buy tokens as a normalized means to price the rewards. I will leave the pricing to the Nostalrius team but would suggest they follow Blizzards methodology of cheap enough to cause contemplation but not too cheap to not make that a decision i.e. mounts would cost $25, pets $15 etc etc

I'll add suggestions I feel adhere to the rules, if anything here bothers you please voice your opinions but try to be civilized of course.

lol these ideas suck ass

why would they want to make money off blizzards game? thats illegal

[reddeffect]

I think TCG items are OK to sell for money.

[kegboy123]

how about donation for gear who dont have time to raid

[Patience]

The only things that could be monetized are TCG items, because there is no way to obtain them otherwise.

Anything else is off the list.

Let's donate our GF's / BF's who just mess up with our gametime in exchange for cool ingame vanity pets.

[Terpsichore]

Didn't they say that they absolutely will not accept donations or sell anything since they're perfectly capable of sustaining the server?

I wouldn't mind TCG stuff myself though but I think it would be better reserved for seasonal events and such.

[Drooppi]

nothing should be monetized.

End o' story.

[Clutch]

If the server needs donations, yes.

If not, no.

[Killerwife]

If people want to help the server, they should donate, not want items from shop. If you start having a shop, blizzard can take them down bcs of "loss of income" or smth like that.
