    Value of the credit and credit sinks

    I've seen a lot of threads recently that mention that the value of credits is becoming more and more... meaningless, if that's the right word for it. What I mean is that a lot of regular forum users that still play the game have a substantial amount of credits (ie. over a million for some people), and that with the absence of big credit sinks (we have some areas, but still) the number of total credits is going up and up, thus devaluing the credit.

    The main thing is that there aren't many areas that credits can be spent (also known as credit sinks). There's the FFR Shop for purchased songs, the FFR Credit Jackpot, and I guess donating credits towards unofficial/official tournaments (so as to distribute credits amongst a more broad group). Besides this, I don't think there are really any other ways to use your credits, besides passing thresholds for secret songs. And even for that, to unlock the most expensive song you only need 160,000 credits.

    I'm just wondering whether there should be more areas to use your credits, like bringing back the Gambling Hall, the Punch Tass-type games, and stuff like that... what does everyone think?

    just added up all the purchased songs, and you need a total of 108,869 credits. coupled with the highest secret song, brings a total of 268,869.

      A lot of people have well over that amount, some people over 2-3 million credits and so I think there should be another way of using them up, rather than them being "worthless".

        agreed. sitting at 442k right now, already bought all the songs, and I have a AAA on Staring at my Spaceship, the 2nd highest secret song.

        There needs to be another way to spend out credits other than different ways to trade it to other players

            Didn't Sprite- try out a way by spending 250k or something for a prochat color change?

            I liked that idea a lot, heheh.

                        Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

                        Yeah gambling hall please

                        I remember making a suggestion a long time ago in some thread to have a kind of game where people made bets with their credits - someone would put down an amount, someone else would take them up on it and a d2 would be rolled to determine the winner of all of the creds, minus a small house cut if needed. (this is exactly like the MMG from KoL if you know what that is)

                        That plus some kind of thing to buy with creds like, idk, special coloured username at 100k/day or something would increase the value of creds quickly <:

                            oh god the MMG

                            This sounds like a really good idea though.
