i think the current prize amounts are fine aside from the 50pd, i feel like that's too small of an amount to make it worth being on the wheel

maybe take the 50pd and change one of them to the set prize (so that there's two panels for prize sets instead of one), and maybe change the other to a 1kpd slot? also either remove the '1 cr prize a week' rule or increase the cr prizes, because as of right now earning 1cr every three weeks is unfair

i'd have to disagree, there's charts on the site that explain how to position the wheel to get the set already

it'd be too easy to manipulate it to get 5kpd every day, meaning that by the end of the week you'd have 35kpd which is absurd

Given that pd is functionally useless on the website already, I can't see why having 35kpd would be an issue?

look at gaia's economy, they tried to fix it by adding more gold generators and now everything is worth 1 billion+

adding money to an already inflated economy doesn't fix anything, it just devalues the currency even further

Mm, you're right about gaia and if the wheel was giving out that kind of cr I'd agree. The primary currency on vp is credit though, not pd and pd is already devalued because of it so it seems like a nonissue.

How about these amounts? What do y'all think? 

Top Credit prize: 20 credits
Regular Credit prize: 10 credits
Small Credit Prize: 5 credits

Top Pd prize: 2000 pd
Regular pd prize: 1000 pd
Small pd prize: 500 pd

here's the thing though

-i'd only be okay with the wheel giving out that kind of cr if it still had the "one credit prize a week" thing

-sure, pd is already devalued now, but putting that huge amount on the wheel would devalue it even more. hypothetically, people would buy things from the fashion shop with the pd, but since kim hardly ever releases store items for popdollars anymore (again, an issue gaia had when it abandoned its gold shops in favor of adding things to the cash shop) those popdollars would just be shifted from user account to user account in exchange for items and/or credits.

-the prime currency on virtualpopstar was never meant to be credits, it was always meant to be popdollars. just because kim and kaj fisted the economy doesn't mean users have to encourage them to mess it up even more than it already is

(i'd go on about how kim/kaj could fix the economy on here but that's probably better for another thread)
