Collected Ideas for Microtransactions

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that the cost of creating the opposite sex to each class would cost over $250,000.

I do agree with you on the guilds, though:

It would even be wise to have guild creation cost credits. This would weed out a ton of excess guild-making. Thus, it would leave only those who are willing to invest credits into creating and retaining a guild.

That's a hefty price. But to me it sounded like that was one of the things they already considered doing.
I took that guild idea from your post in the other thread, so you agree with yourself :P

I just had another idea:

I'd like to extend the time it take for instances to reset. I sometimes portal out of deep dungeons to barter and then one thing comes to another, and it takes longer than expected. Which means I have to go through 3 floors again, searching for the exit.
Maybe extend it to 30 minutes, that would be cool.

The ability to purchase pre-made forum avatars with GGG points.

To expend on the cosmetic clothing, as I have seen no such thing is stated :
It should be alternative slots that keep your actual armour/weapon stats but overrides its appearance.

Also, a handful of them should be free, if not for the sake of F2P, for the sake of teasing.

Can't say I really like this, since double armor for appearance has always seemed incredibly silly to me, but I will add it.

From a gameplay perspective it's the best thing to do.
It also prevents pay to win.

Added the Polishing Kit

"

Use: Right click the Polishing Kit to activate it, then right click on any active skill gem to add rarity (up to magic, like potions, not unique).

But hold on, it's not what you think. Adding rarity wouldn't change the ability's stats in any way that would offer a play advantage. Instead, it would randomize a cosmetic change to the skill.

As an example:
Let's say we have a typical fireball gem. Well, nothing wrong with the fireball looks now, but we can jazz it up certainly. We use our Polishing Kit on it, and it becomes:

Azure fireball of rage. Now our fireball is blue and leaves behind a trail of red smoke.

1. Cosmetic changes to Portals:

- generally different colours
- a firy red one summoned on top of a pentagramm
- blood dripping demon Gate'esque one, with a spiky black frame and a whirling nexus in the middle
- maybe a stargate rippoff for Sci-fi fans would also be nice

2.

Different haircuts and coming with them a "no helmet mod" where the stats of your helmet apply but the model isn't seen on your character. (one could add that for any sort of armour)

Stuff like:
-medusa snakes for the witch
-a mohawk for the marauder
-long flowing hair for the ranger
-chinese braid for the duelist
-some "emo like" hair combed into the face thing for the shadow
- haihachi side spikes for the templar
comes to mind :)

3. Some cheesy lines on critical hits for each class (we all know those form action movies)

"Hell yeah"
"Slice 'n' dice"
"Meet your maker"
"thy life ends here"
"Back to hell"
"Melt for me"
"Death's cold embrace"

i think you see where this is going :)

I don't know why this has not been mentionned before... I mean, it's so obvious...

You know those 2 slave girls on the UI, holding the health and mana globes? Well I heard somewhere that in the original design, they where 100% nude, not covered.
Well, I'd pay to have the nude version!

So the idea is, they could sell different looking User Interfaces.

Seems easy to do and implement, its just a small piece of art to replace ingame, and it totally fits the aesthetic/cosmetic perks they are going for with their microtransactions.

They could sell complete interface overhauls, like a jungle theamed interface,...(think Zerg, Protoss and Terran UI in StarCraft1), or, just small, simple UI perks, like the nude slave girls UI I mentionned. No need to move the buttons around or anything, you just change the static art.

I'd totally pay for that :P
