Hey Anet here is one of my silly ideas that will probably be a fail. I think we should have a national lottery system. everyone buys tickets and the money stacks up for a whole week and on Saturdays in lions arch the lottery can take place. i am not sure what price the tickets should cost but they should be reasonable. there should be a limit to how much ticket a person can buy, my suggestion is, limit a person can buy a ticket is 5. If a person does not want to/ is not in lions arch on Saturday when the lottery is being played the prize money can be received through the post. Also like the normal lottery if more then 1 person wins the money will be split. KEY THINGS I HAVE MISSED OUT: international lottery is basicly the national lottery with 3 different servers. The tickets for these should cost more because of the amount of possible winners. I also suggest that the game itself starts of with 20s because there could be a problem. Not enough players therefor no/low profits. Last thing I forgot to say was if no one won the lottery it will be rolled over to next weeks money giving people the chance for a bigger WIN!
This will help people with money problems so I think it is a great idea, if anyone disagrees please state why and how could this idea improve thanks
nah just mail them the money but this is a phenominal idea. i say buy as many tickets as you want for 50 gems each, prize money always 20g (make it more like a raffel ie always a winner) and there you go.
seriously anet this is a fantastic way to make money unless this is a grey area with gambling but i would definetly sign on for this. maybe the prize money could reflect the interest as well. if no ones buying the tickets except 1 guy then 20 g is a bit unfair….. but if everyones buying them then make it like 100 g. or unique skins or anything.
lol thats funny there should be international lottery aswell for a chance with other servers and what i meant was everyone in lions arch can watch the lottory take place
Wow a lot of info i missed out, well not that much( I’m just thinking off the top of my head) people can get a rank/tital for winning the lottery and the international should cost more:):) whatcha think?

Pretty sure there’s some online gambling related legislation. Particularly those regarding minors gambling.
Also, I don’t think that just implementing a lottery or a raffle alone is a good idea. You should make it a coin sink. If you want to scale the rewards, then make it so that a percentage of the total gold put in gets removed while the rest gets distributed as prizes. Either way, it should never generate gold. It should only recycle it from one player to another, or remove it.
Though, I think it should also include some pretty severe limitations. Because let’s be honest, without limitations you end up in a situation where one person can potentially gain thousands of Gold from this thing, just based on luck. And that’s really not something you want to do. Re-distributing wealth like that should always be monitored to a reasonable level. And of course, it should be as random as possible. It’d be ridiculous for them to implement a gambling system that you could use to consistently turn over a profit in, after all.
yep the national is only the money collected by world wide players, the international is only the money collected by about 3 servers, or could be every server :O
:):) whatcha think?
