I don’t understand why they do. The reason I could think of would be to encourage players to post here on forums. It being 3:1pc would make people not abuse the feature, I see. But it’s just such a small amount that, even if you post like 300 times, you’d only get a mere 100pc. I see that this feature is mostly used to benefit the newbies, but it’s just such a small amount that I don’t think it would quite help them?

I think most users hang out in the Discord chat, 'cause these forums are fairly slow. Maybe a slight increase would encourage more posting? I'd love to see more action in the creative sections. Poor RP hasn't had a fresh post in months!

I understand what you mean; with veteran players making well over 500 PC a day, it doesn't sound very exciting to us to try to strive for 300 forum points (which takes months to get) only to receive 100 PC after all that work.

With that being said, from what I understand, forum points aren't intended to be a major source of income on the site, only a small incentive for posting. Though if the forums continue having low activity as the playerbase grows, maybe Komodo can be persuaded to adjust the incentive? xD

Just checked out the userlist and the forum posts are all dominated by the people who played for 1 year+ and even with people who are no longer active. Maybe there could be a badge or something else that encourages others to post. The forums have been quite inactive for months, I hope many more newer players would post and see that the forums is also a great place to interact and make friends.

@icearashi

Believe it or not, there are four forum badges! You have three of them yourself :P

But I agree, I wish more people used the forums. I remember some people suggesting exclusive decorations that come with badges. Maybe that could be done for the forum badges.

@BK47 Yea that was what I meant for the badges, maybe they should come with extra rewards as well to encourage them! For a forum like this... uhh I think the badges' requirements could be a bit lower?

For the rates 3:1 pc is so little and 1:1pc is like abuse feature xD but maybe that'll help motivate people to post in forums though...

@icearashi

Tbh I think a 1:1 ratio for forum points would actually be fine because people would still have difficulty getting 100 PC in a day, even if they spammed for hours. Though if we did that, I would also want point redemption to have a 6-hour delay after posting, or some type of spam detection feature that turns off their point redemption temporarily, because one thing I've noticed about the few players who've spammed for points is that they tend to redeem the points immediately after they're done spamming. And we don't always catch them before they're done, lol

I think the current badge requirements are fine, but maybe there could be more in between? Or something else entirely, like a pet that you can only get by posting. But that would force people to post, and we don't want that lol. Hmm...

@BK47 mmm that sounds interesting (the 1:1 point system + spam filter, that would help)
I don’t think people are motivated to post because of the badges, as they are technically not able to obtain every single one of them unlike the pets. A displayable reward of some sort would be great. In Flight Rising, they have this star system once you hit x posts you get 1 star 2 stars etc. all the way to the Rainbow star which at that point you’ve posted 1000 posts. However most posts from that are usually bumps...

And... I thought of something. Maybe, you could use forum points to redeem items/decorations! Things like plushies or small items would be good! Or maybe a system where when you hit x points/posts, you are eligible to claim x award which has some use in game! It won’t be like badges which are just for display and collection uses.

(oh geez I made this a suggestion thread now)

I like the idea of forum exclusive decorations, especially new Pixplush! :D Maybe add more systems to join the Pixtendo too. I think a Pixboy would be neat! We could do a Color version easy! It's something people would like to show off in their house, right?

And I guess it did turn into a Suggestions thread, but it's still a good discussion. One of the first things newcomers check out is the forums, (At least, I do anyway. :P) and if they aren't very active, then they might assume the playerbase isn't either and not stick around. First appearances are everything, after all.

You can only encourage people to talk about so much. Eventually we will cover most all PP topics and run out of ideas for things to discuss.. and having a Discord makes it harder to come to the forums when you can have such instant interaction in Discord already.

Although I do genuinely enjoy the game guide, suggestions, and bug fix forums.
