Inheritance auction

Postby Maha » Tue Oct 04, 2016 7:16 pm

Players do stop playing Pirates Glory from time to time.
When they pass away they leave a shipload of assets behind. Ships, gc, bank accounts, hidden treasure, credits and voodoo.
I want to propose to auction off the inheritance of those gone.
I imagine a 2 tier system; the first tier is for accounts with less than 11 ships, and less than 100k gc. The accounts in this category will be auctioned a full 2 month after the last activity.

The rest will be auctioned after a full year (just to be safe) an automated warning can be send after 9 months and at the 11th month.

What comes to the auction?

It is like ‘storage wars’; the interested parties will see some but not all.
the gc will be shown
the number of bank accounts, but not the amounts deposited
the number of hidden treasures, but not the value or the turns which protect these treasures
the number of common, uncommon and rare voodoo cards, but nothing specific
a list of fleets and ships with id numbers for each ship (officers will only come with the ship when the bidder has less than 200 captains and will not go beyond that number)

A week before the auction the account enters the auctions list.
The highest bidder gets the gc added to his gc and the voodoo to his voodoo chest. Fleets will be transferred to the new owner but stay in the port they are. Ships without fleets will added to the ports they were left behind etc. Bank accounts will be merged where possible; the new owner will get a week time to offload any gc that’s above the allowed max for that bank.
Hidden treasure is never easily found, however the new owner will find references of the treasure at the treasure page in the same way as his personal hidden treasure.


The rich will go after the huge voodoo accounts, aspiring merchants after the ships while new players will be happy to acquire tier 1 offers.

We delete inactives every week. So far,we have deleted 50,688 characters. We do not delete accounts that played a role at some point in the game. For instance, your account even if it goes inactive, it will not be deleted, even if it hits 0 fame at some point.

Futurely, every account will have a full history page (addon to achievements) so future players will get an idea of what this player has done in the past.

The more the time passes, the more we will be able to work on it and at one point, we will reach a stage where every player will have a full biography in Avonmora.


end of discussion i think :)

There is a whole industry (of warlike folks) who reap these assets forcibly.

I understand that some assets are of low value and some never bother to garnish them through attack. Still these assets eventually open up to the game ecosystem in some way (ie Tidal Wave for empty ships).

However, your idea can be combo'ed with another idea we have (and we have not yet posted as we plan to implement right away) but in different fashion. Thank you all together.

Inactives with assets of considerable value are not really deleted.

-1, what if they plan to return? I think if this is implemented on PG there should be 100% inheritance tax, which is why I am voting Hillary.
PM me any complaints (10M gold coin wire fee is mandatory).

Oh no, it's the Trump approved method : you can then write-off the loss and never have to pay any more Avonmora taxes for another 2 decades!
