Guild Wars 2

Imagine how awesome it would be if you could create a lottery just like Mega millions.
Some limitations would apply of course:

If there is a winner, take “taxes” out of the total amount. This is an interesting way to get rid of excess gold in the game.

Allow only 10 tickets to be bought for each player so that there is not an over abuse and an advantage over other players.

Developers let your imagination run wild.

Excess gold? What’s that?

Hamfast.8719:

Excess gold? What’s that?

The excess gold created by farmers and glitch users that use exploits for gold farming.

Are we talking Account ?
Are we talking about Character?

It’s an interesting idea none the less

This would be cool. I’d probably by a ticket each week (or whenever it runs) just to see if maybe someday I’ll be a millionaire. I wonder what kind of prize pool would end up being created?

Let’s say each ticket was… 5 silver.

Even if only 10,000 players bought into the lottery once each week, that is 50,000 silver or 500 gold. And odds are that more people than that would buy in.

Would be a good gold sink. They wouldn’t even need to give the winner all the gold used to buy all the tickets.

Very good concept, I would buy in.

FFXI does?/did this, and Aion does this both in game and outside game. People might like it. (Similar to this, not exact)
