RTB Development

[Kalphiter]

Currency could be used twords a dedicated server.  If they earn 100 currency they would be able to "rent" a dedicated server from RTB for one day.  People could also trade currency between each other for favors and what not.

That would just slow down the server a lot.

He obviously doesn't have time to hear you whine about how you were "unfairly" banned, even it if was unfair.

His server, his rules. Go make a drama topic and whine about him there.

Nice try.

This is what he deleted:

for anyone who makes PHP web applications

Why you hatin' other languages?

In RTB4, there will be a public JSON API for anyone who makes PHP web applications so they can interface with the RTB server and get handy data - it could be that the currency allows them to buy more API calls (since each developer would be limited to x per day) but then that's only useful to a couple of people.

How many api calls do you think will be allowed by default?

[Ephialtes]

I'll be doing some research to see how many people are hoping to use it and how much I can actually optimise the API. I won't be speculating on numbers now, but I'm sure there will be enough api calls to run a pretty standard web app.

[Technoscubed]

I will code something with the API, it'd be fun.

What on EARTH makes you think it's a good idea to have currency? The lack of it is a fundamental part of Blockland, in my opinion.

Then you obviously haven't bought a key ;D

Anyone can host a dedicated server, though.

I would spend fake currency on a Fast dedicated that won't crash.

Way to stray from the pack!

RTB Forums have been cast to oblivion! This is truly a sad day for the RTB community.

I will cast you to oblivion soon! >(

There is no point in us having a Gallery, Modification Discussion or Clan Discussion forum on the RTB forums. The only purpose they actually served was as a place for people banned from these forums to post there instead. The RTB forums are primarily for discussing RTB only and should not serve as a "second home" for Blockland users. The archived forums are still publicly accessible if you need to access anything.

When it comes to the currency, I would like to discuss about an another idea that some games or forums are using, but not in a wide range.

Instead of getting more and more money/credits/bricks each time you do something good or bad, you will have a maximum of 100 money, and can only achieve or loose from different ways.

10 from amount of uploads.
10 from amount of comments.
10 from reputation.
10 from classification of owned add-ons.
10 from good classifications of other add-ons.
etc...

If you e.g. loose reputation, you'll loose your points, and vice versa. The total sum of money will then give you special abilities, like giving access to the RTB API, or uploading add-ons.

[Ephialtes]

It was not my intention to implement some sort of game-wide currency. The only thing I was intending was some sort of "credit" awarded if you refer a non-RTB user to download and use RTB which might enable you to get some special feature in the future.
