    Please name your Suggestion/Bug Report:
    Pay To Jump

    Is this a suggestion or bug report?:
    Suggestion

    What does this report affect?:
    Harpoon Gaming (in general)

    Please elaborate on your suggestion:
    I think there should be a room added on moonbase and you would have to pay a bot that is always on 1 ref and then you could teleport to a trampoline room for only 10 minutes or more. You could get a lot of income and it would be a new fun feature!

    Any Additional Information?:

    Did you mean to say ten minutes or less?

    umm well i think 1 ref for 10 minutes is a bit too much so like maybe 1 ref for 15 or 20 minutes

    Why not make it free? Or make it a donor perk?

    well if it were free they couldn't make money off of it and if it were a donor perk they would probably have to make donor 1.3 keys or something and they would probably make over 2 keys a day from it

    I can see your point on Harpoon trying to make money, but donor already costs 1 key per month, and perms costs 16. Most regulars are willing to pay for donor each month, and sometimes tend to ogrepay in unusuals (me), which is plenty of money. I can definitely see your point here, but maybe a bit cheaper for the members' sake?

    staff = free
    donors = free
    everyone else = 1 ref for 20-30mins or until they leave the server.

    The point of harpoon isn't to make money, it's to provide an enjoyable place for people to come and enjoy themselves while they trade. If this was added, it would most likely be a donor perk or free.

    Wow. That's something I'd say. Except I'd say "The point of Harpoon..."

    But yes, to expand upon Porcupine's point. Harpoon was founded as a fun and safe place for traders of all ages. The profitability of Harpoon is a secondary concern to me, and I would much rather add features and areas that enrichen the player experience free of cost or for donator benefit.

    Thank you for the idea, it's similar to something in the works.
