VegaPhone Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I was thinking about how games can bridge other players interests into one online community through different platforms and different games. What I mean is to have a game of star wars themed poker and have real gambling for fake money. This is a game of its own, however players from swtor while playing on thier servers should be able to go to a casino and see these players from the other game (players could be playing from a mobile device) simulated with thier chosen avatars and be able to gamble with them. This might sound unnecessary, but the perks would be 1. More people to play with while logged into swtor 2. people who are not subscribers of swtor would be able to generate cash for thier character which they can use for their character in game if they create an account. The downside is having a lot of credits floating around which is happening anyways, and BW taking up peoples credits with legacy unlocks. There would only be too much cash floating around if they could buy fake money to gamble with... however there is a solution. The solution could also be that gambling uses a different currency at a different exchange rate and therefore the richest gamblers would not be extremely wealthy but still wealthy. So the ones with the potential of buying more gambling currency with thier credits would of course be the actual players and much easier than people only playing sw themed poker and are not subscirbers of swtor. They, swtor players, would be the richest gamblers depending if they want to exhange thier credits for gambling curency since it would be easier for them than other players using a credit card. The other benefit of this idea is having an option to play a part of swtor that increases our wealth while away from the computer but on a portable device like a phone or a old portable computer. This idea can be used for many other possible ideas of bringing other games which are on mobile devices or on facebook but to fit with swtor at the same time. edit: I think a good balance could also be that swtor players can put 100k creds and get a very high exchange to gambling chips for the highest stakes table. They can withdraw only 100k from gambling as well daily. The non swtor player would start from a low amount of gambling chips of course, but would be able to achieve any number of chips, however, only 100k creds can be exhanged at the same rate of the highest stakes tables amount once into swtor. The exchange also would be so different to swtor creds that the value of buying exchange gambling chips and trying to exploit that to make in game creds would be very costly and also limited to 100k per day.
