Starting now we're going to be paying out for activity based on both hourly activity (flat rate) and message dumps (with bonuses for other things). This is partially to motivate you guys to get more active, but also as a reward for things like awesome RP and making peoples days better or whatever the heck it is you people do when I'm not around.
So here's the scale:
Bandit Message dump posts: 250.000 to 1.250.000 dependant on quality and details. Hourly activity: 300.000 per hour, 2.000.000 bonus every 5 hours. -
Raider Message dump posts: 750.000 to 3.500.000 dependant on quality and details. Hourly activity: 650.000 per hour, 4.000.000 bonus every 5 hours. -
Veteran Raiders Message dump posts: 1.000.000 to 5.000.000 dependant on quality and details. Hourly activity: 900.000 per hour, 6.500.000 bonus every 5 hours.
There are also some potential bonuses you can get:
Killing high value targets: 1.000.000 - 2.500.000
Exceptional transportation of goods to or from Seasons: 500.000 - 1.500.000
Defence of allies or Natio assets: 1.000.000 - 5.000.000
Abundance of activity time(40/50/60 hours at end of month): 8/12/20 million bonus.
What we'll be doing is doling out the payments en masse at the beginning of each month to each member's main character from our bank character and noting the payouts here. Payouts based on activity time will be calculated from the faction activity page on the forums. Starting today we'll be recording number of message dumps etc. for the first payout on the first of April.
