    Hello,

    basically I got this Idea from another Community and found it pretty cool, so I post it here:

    So, basically the Community Backpack is an Account which holds Player-donated Items and belongs to nobody else than the Communiy (not even I can take things from that).
    The Sense behind it is that People could donate towards the Community even without buying Keys or donating Money.

    After the Backpack reached a specified Amount of Items or simply on regular Basis, we might hold Raffles/Giveaways, where Members can win some of these Items.
    Another possibility to give the Items out would be trough the upcoming AP (Activity Points) System, so the User(s) with the highest Amount of Points wins.

    What do you think about it?

    I cannot decide which is better, activity points or raffles. But the overall idea is great seeming as people are not willing to donate money or keys very often.

    i'd vote for the activity points. if the guys keep their activity up on our servers to win someting more or less valuable it helps us more than just a 1-time-forumregistration for a raffle, i think we got enough of those already.

    Great idea, with regards to the giving away option. Got to say go with both. Those freebie items to draw people into the community & those active point raffle type things for the longer lasting active members. So the idea is to get people here & keep them here.

    It's a currently in Developement Phase (damn, I need to find moar time..) and no, it won't give Points to Idlers (therefore it won't be installed on the Idle Servers).

    Basically it gives you one Point for every 10 Minutes you play, every 10 kills and every 10 assists, if there are less than 8-10 People on the Server you get a x3 Bonus (3 instead of 1 Point).
    Once you reach a certain amount of Points (have to calculate it still), features will be unlocked that you currently only get by donating (Hats, Tag, etc).

    I will most likely also add a function that decreases your Points by 3-5% (depending on the Amount of Points you have) for every day on which you don't play on the Servers.

    Great idea since I can't donate any other way. Also like the AP idea.
