In order to satisfy the needs of selling valestone and moonstone, as well as save good projects from sinking in spam of AT remove topics, I think OOO should set up a Battle Sprite project Contest, where creative artists and wise suggestors are able to present their projects! The audience evaluates the projects by the look of the sprite and it's skills. Tell me what you think.

So you basically want people to suggest new battle sprites...?

We have something called the suggestions sub-forum.

No, I want OOO to create a battle sprite project contest, where people who want to create new battle sprites have a place where they can post their ideas without being afraid that their good ideas will drown in spam.

I like my poker. Don't judge me.

20,000 CE? Or maybe a free prize box of their choice? Who knows.

But +1 to the idea.

If there would be a prize, it would be better for it to be some in-real-life thing like SK merchandise or a gift card or something.

Just noticed , but this might not even work. Unlike other contests of similar make, where players are submitting artwork for new weapons/gear, this contest would ask players to create an entire battle sprite. Adding a battle sprite to the game would be a big thing, and would have to go through a lot of testing and balancing before OOO finally adds it (probably the reason the first set took so long to be added). Because of this, the end product would probably differ greatly from the submission by the player, and as such players would complain that what they got wasn't what they asked for and that OOO doesn't listen to its fan base. For the alternative, if the sprite was added as is straight from the community suggestion, there would probably a few balancing problems that would have to be dealt with as the player might not be aware of all the things a developer must need when adding new content to the game. This would result in the sprite being poorly balanced and spark many complaints from players, saying that the sprite was poorly developed.

The only way i can think of to fix this problem is for the purpose of the contest to only create the visual model for the sprite, and none of its skills or stats.
