Player Arcade
Located off the Games Cafe, which is itself linked to the OOC Nexus, the Arcade is a way to reward players for roleplay without giving them unfair quantities of XP.
When playing at an arcade, winning at a game gives you paper tickets, which you can then bring to a counter to trade in for prizes.
This system operates on the same general concept!
Staff has written up a list of "prizes" which can be purchased with tickets. Tickets themselves are earned when a player A) has their +account set up and B) exceeds the 5xp total weekly limit on +activity use. Any +activity entries past 5xp automatically flip over into ticket gain instead.
Tickets are shared across your Master Account, and are stored on that object, not you, as they are a prize to the player, not the character.
The prices in the Arcade are subject to change during/after beta testing. This is our current estimate of fair pricing based on what we believe will be the probable weekly ticket gain of the average player.
