UPDATE: Random Roleplay Loot Drops
Posted: 11 Oct 2016, 21:22
You can now get random loot for posting roleplay on the forum. You'll get this loot for posting on any board which ordinarily gives RPP, but your chances of loot drops are better and more frequent on boards which give more RPP.
The loot you can get from these drops can be almost anything you'd ordinarily get for killing NPCs, except for the absolute rarest of items such as relics.
This system will most likely come to Blood soon also, but it won't be quite as advantageous.
Nerdy details
Every time you post it checks to see how many "loot points" you've amassed (hidden value). This increases at the same rate as RPP (but starts on 0 as of now). When your loot points reaches over 5000, every post you make thereafter will have a 50/50 chance of spawning loot.
The rarity of loot you get is random. However, the rarer the loot the more your loot points drop down. The more common the loot the less your loot points will drop. This means that if you had poor luck and found 3 silver bracelets in a row, you're still going to have more loot points left over compared to somebody who found a great weapon on their first drop. This means less time until your next drop.
Deleting or editing (to make smaller) your posts will drop your loot points, possibly into the negative. If your loot points drop into the negative then you'll simply have to post more before your next loot comes along, so it balances out in the long run.
