ZP Lottery
in Suggestions
**Note the [Implemented] prefix was just something I flipped on cause I noticed the option. It's probably there so that the GMs can show us what player suggestions have been implemented in some way shape or form. And this is my way of telling that they should probably limit that pre-fix option to GMs and maybe MODs only. :P**
Okay so this here idea is simple...and it stems from me pondering on what the BINGO thing is going to be...so if this IS what the BINGO thing is (or similar)...then disregard....but here's my thinking....
ZP Lottery
Pretty much every week players can buy a ticket say 1,000 ZP. The ticket gets assigned a number. (maybe limit it to 1 ticket per week/drawing period)
At the end the week the game automatically selects a number.
If a player's ticket matches it that player wins. But if there is no match then no one wins and the lottery prize pool grows larger.
The Prize pool would be a base of 10k ZP but would grow by 900ZP per entry. (that means the game takes 10% of each entry into the lottery.)
Once there is a winner the prize pool resets to the starting number and the cycle begins again.
I feel this matches the 'gambling' standard that we have with nearly everything on this game and would be a fun way for players to try to increase their ZP amounts. And since the Ticket fee is relatively low it doesn't take much for a player to get in on the possibility thus increasing the likelihood of participation.
I suppose this doesn't have to be done INGAME as it could be set up via the EP Shop in a way similar to raffles they've done in the past. The difference here is that the prize is a pool based on tickets bought and not a set weapon/item and also that some weeks there may not be a winner and thus the pool would grow more for the following week.

Will players be able to buy multiple tickets to increase their chances?
Personally I was thinking no simply as if everyone can only purchase one ticket per drawing period then everyone who participates has the same chances of winning per drawing and heavy ZP users can't dominate the ticket field to ensure that they win. although eventually there'd be a point in which they invest more ZP in than they'd or at the least defeat the purpose of using a little to gain a significant amount. It'd be a shame to see the same people winning every time due to shear purchasing power. But perhaps multiple purchases could be allowed but limited to a small number. That's something that could be played around with by the GMs or Devs if they view it's something worth implementing to begin with. -
Personally i think this is soo bad for those who doesn't want to pay in game .... Second this is Called Gambling !! So this is "Haram" for muslims ! ..Well.....ok i know you are thinking >and what about the non Muslim players ?? ......

Well I agree some people, especially those who don't wish to buy ZP would be excluded from this. But that's not all bad.
As for the 'Haram/Gambling' thing....what do you think the Black Market is? That is gambling on perhaps an even higher level. So....if this lottery idea would really be that bad for Muslim players...then I hope the people that see it that way...aren't spinning crates in the black market...
I also believe that you'd be surprised by just how many people WOULD be into this. Especially on months like this where there is a ZP Storm event giving tons of players ZP for perhaps the first time even.
I do get where you're coming from though. -

so hypothetically speaking... if say a casino gets built near you and as a promotional they offer you so many chips (consider chips as ZP or ZP Crates...you buy them with money to use on the various games) on the house....it's okay to gamble then since you're not spending your own money? fascinating... does that mean if you win ZP from ZP storm that would make this lottery idea acceptable to play? :P
