[quote name="DeadBattery" date="2018-08-06 12:13:15" ] I've been thinking hard about this and are y'all (Staff) sure about letting all of us have a chance at buying an unlimited amount of tickets? I personally think it would be better if we all had equal chances at getting something because I know there's super wealthy people, there's mediocre-wealthy people and there's lesser people on this site and the wealthier won't mind spending lots of money on tickets. I personally think it would be better if we could all buy the same amount of tickets and let RNG do its thing but I know there's people who think differently and that's okay [/quote] Yeah... 2 mil Treasure is chump change to some users. Those people will still stay rich even if they drop millions every time something rare comes up, especially since the most desirable prizes won’t be as common, so it’s not like they’ll be spending constantly. 4mil T on tickets every month will be a drop in the bucket for the incredibly wealthy. Another site I play (albeit one with a small userbase) had to implement a “You can only win the weekly raffle (1st or 2nd prizes) once a month” rule recently because the same 3-4 ultra-rich users kept winning the raffle every week. I like the idea of a new Treasure sink, and I’m definitely not trying to say “Newbies/poor users should be handed rare stuff for free!!” or “Rich users don’t deserve rare items” or anything! Obviously the more work you put into a game, the more you get out of it. But I think a ticket cap of 500-1000 tickets per week would help level the playing field for all types of users. 250k-500kT is still decent money, but it’s achievable, and it would keep the odds from getting heavily skewed towards the “FR Elite”. I just don’t want to see FR’s rarest-item/dragon raffles all go to the same handful of users who can easily afford to blow 3mil on tickets multiple times a month, since that ends up being discouraging and generally not a ton of fun. :’/ I’ve seen it happen before, and I don’t want it to happen on FR, too.

[/quote] Exactly. A ticket limit would help keep things fair for everyone, and items to circulate to more than just the same group of people.

Cool! The new map looks great:-)

im so excited for the raffle and the map!!!

I don't know how I feel about the no cap on raffle tickets but still a great updaye! The new map will look awesome.

Also, do you think you could get battle items like eliminate from the raffles?

I love Roundsey! It's so good to see art of a spiral NPC!

Did I miss how to enter the raffle or is it not on there?
