ARX for charity

[m0rl0ck]

I would like my in game earned arx , once they hit whatever threshold, to be redeemed for cash and the money sent to some charitable cause.
I will never use the store, the way it is now and at least this way the scheme will have some good consequence.
Please find a way to do this FD.

Presumably ARX have no cash value.

Their shop would be competing with a charity.

It would cost them money to donate it to charity, while purchases made with in-game-earned ARX cost them (at most) a potential ARX purchase, but in reality probably lead to some amount of ARX purchases that otherwise wouldn't take place.

etc.

Well, since you can earn around 25 cents a week...It wouldn't be any substantial amount even if you did collect it for years

 

[m0rl0ck]

25 cents per week per player that signed up, could end up being a not insignificant amount and would certainly make the whole thing smell better.

Arx is a virtual currency. Equivalent to 25 cents per week doesn't mean FD are paying you that as a salary What you are asking for is for FD to donate to charity. Which would be great obviously, but this is a really strange method to say the least.

Better yet, why don’t you donate your posts to the delete button?

Because i like posting. Since the game (for my purposes) is too broken to play, posting on the forum is as close as i can get. If my posts irritate you that much you can always put me on ignore.
Meanwhile i will continue posting because i bought the game, then i bought an alt account and then i bought it for someone as a gift, so i have just as much a right to post here as you do (maybe more)
Im not unhappy with the fact that my posts seem to be making an impact on you, but if you are, there is always the ignore button.
Have a nice day

or do like on other MMOs, sell things with ARK temporarily all of whose funds will be donated to a charity association.

like that you win an item at stake while financing a charity, even the devellopeur participates like that.

I like your thinking, and the intentions are very laudable, however I think that the "earned ARX" aren't on any accountancy ledgers. As such frontier would to convert them into real world cash, so they could donate them to charity. To achieve this frontier would have to start including ALL ARX in their business accounts, and that cannot easily happen from a business point of view, the players racked up X0,000 playtime hours today, thus accruing £Y0,000 by depreciating [ASSET NAME]. OR Paid for ARX could be recorded as their sales being cancelled and the revenue diverted to charitable accruals. But even that strategy is frought with danger... 3 million copies of the game sold, say half of them are not alts and are active, a tenner a year in ARX earnings on all those accounts, and a mass of orders from the players to say donate my ARX, could leave frontier with a sudden eight figure hole in their budget.

If they can get it in the Blockchain as an ARX coin it might be Possible. Because people inside and outside the game could buy into it.

Blockchain eh? Now if Braben put a block chain mining algorithm into COBRA engine, using 5% of GPU... That'd be worth a few quid.
