I've just quickly read all the pages here.. we've discussed this in the past. Fact is, we need to vote for the shard. Players on other servers vote, some also get rewarded for it. And again, ED are intended as a reward for some sort of external help to the shard, it's good that all players are able to get them.

I have a concern about 1ED being sort of an extreme amount of money for a 2-day old player. And not such a big deal for a veteran. So i'll consider making the reward a progressive thing, for example, 1st vote is 1k reward, 2nd vote 2k, etc. Until at the 50th vote you start getting 1ED.

Whilst I like the ticket idea, ...

The quest idea sounds fun. But have the reward stone give the quest book and the reward for the quest be the ED or whatever. Not just go kill this monster though. Variations on the collector quest maybe.

Or a special class of treasure map. The more votes you have up before claiming them, the higher level the treasure map and the more ED's found in the chest. But the harder the monsters too :)

Something perhaps to make it more interactive.

+C, the problem I see with what you proposed is that while it solves the huge influx of money for little work for someone who just started, it would take way too long to get to the 1 ED to the point of making it irrelevant. I'm at 21 days old and beginning to not need the money from that 1 ED at all. By 50 days old I believe I wouldn't even bother with it.

Something around the range of 10-20 days to get the full ED would be a better thing if you do it that way.

And that system still doesn't take into account veteran players.

If we are getting the votes we need. Clearly the gold for new players isn't unbalance the game. If it's not broke don't fix it.
