Hi everyone! Honestly, it’s hard to come up with something that would truly be motivating. I do have one idea though over the past year I’ve gotten into AI chatbots, with the appropriate kind of content, of course.
Why am I bringing this up? Basically, right now there’s almost nowhere to spend activity coins, especially for people who have millions of them just sitting there, essentially useless.
In theory, if a good chatbot with a decent model were added to the site (even just as an experiment), and activity coins were used as the currency per message, then:
- Activity coins would get a new life if this feature turned out to be relevant, people who spend all their coins would want to donate, and voilà: you have a product with real demand.
- The very fact that there’s something to spend coins on, instead of just hoarding them, would encourage people to interact with the forum more.
- Yes, I know this idea is kind of silly at its core I’m just sharing my thoughts. That said, donors could be given some other type of currency that would grant access to better models, better memory, etc. Or it could be implemented the way you mentioned as a rank subscription that provides a certain amount of activity coins (AC) each month specifically for these chats. Alternatively, you could offer specific characters that are locked for regular users and available only exclusively (you know what I mean, right?

).
Of course, this would shift the site’s focus away from games and the exclusivity of games that aren’t available on other sites but it’s just an idea (and it might not work at all, and end up being nothing but noise).
Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts with you.

Oh, by the way, there’s also an idea with cards. Over the past two months I’ve been spending time on a site that uploads manhwa translated into my language, and they have a feature where you can buy cards using crystals (the cards drop randomly, and it’s hard to pull the specific card you want for a particular title).
You could introduce something similar on this site buying packs that contain cards for building your own collection or deck. The cards themselves could be based on characters from specific games featured on the site, with rarity ranks from E to S, and exclusive ones marked as X (extremely rare).
So yeah, here’s another idea on how to encourage users to actively spend their coins.
