Bank ideas

[Beezer]

Realism would suggest that the more you have in the bank, the more interest you will earn. Most banks offer Money Market accounts that earn varrying levels of interest, based on how much money you have in the account.

$0 - $5000 = 1.75%
$5001 - $20000 = 2.25%
$20000+ = 3.5%

What about setting up some kind of scale like this that determines the interest, instead of a flat rate?? We don't have to use these numbers, but something similar.


Another suggestion (we'll use the Money Market account from above):

Most money market accounts have a limit on the number of withdrawls you can make from the account in a month. What if we had a limit on the number of withdrawl transactions that could be made in a day/week/month?? That would add a bit more strategery to the use of the bank.

Hmmm, I think you may be right here. In active players can also benefit from this feature...

The more money in the bank, the more money you get. Of course, this will make it more difficult for the newcomers like never before...

Not if you put some sort of experience feature in. Say for example you get X number of experience points for the size of the army that you attakced (and more point sif you kill it). Then experience points can be tied to nuke purchases, troop improvements, and other such aspects of the game.

This might deter the bigger, more established players from attacking new players, because they would gain nothing from it strategically. But if this is going to be discussed, it needs a whole new thread.

Back to the issue at hand. The bank!!

Could we change the current system to 1 withdraw+1 deposit in an hour?
I was going to give somebody some money but first had to get if off the bank...then it says i can't deposit it to him for an hour???

Great idea. One could also link an account to to the S&P 500-- only as a multiple. For example, if the S&P 500 for the day (Mon-Fri) is up 1%, have a multiplier of 10-50 to give 10%-50% payout for the day. But like real life one could also have massive losses with this type of leveraged account.

OK great idea

The game was just reset. I can't imagine you already have enough spare money so you can give it to "somebody" and "somebody" can do something with it (can't be that much Geos).

I changed it to one transaction every 10 minutes, which should be pretty good for most people.

I believe that Lukepuuk made that statment before the reset.
