Let's suppose the maximum equal the amount of 3 weeks SP, 570k.
So, perhaps i would not play this week. Next week i'd have 380k available to earn. I'd play but not enough to earn all that SP. I'd end that week with 250k SP left. The week after i have 440k available. I don't play that week, so next week i don't get 190k more, just the remaining until the rollover cap, 570k SP.
I could be gone for an holiday for 3 weeks and still come back and earn those SP points. I also wouldn't need to earn them all in that week after i get back, i could just manage the points i earn and slowly lower it. Say i get back from a 3 week break, i'll have 570k waiting for me, i earn 200k SP that week, next week i'll have 560k available. That week i play a little more and earn 300k SP. The week after i have 450k available. I just play enough to get 100k that week. But that's ok because next week i'll have 540k available and still below the rollover limit.
This would let me manage exactly how much i want to play each week and put a very reasonable limit on how much you accrue.
EDIT: The limit could be higher, of course. If instead of 3 weeks it was a month, the rollover cap would be 950k SP.
Did I really have to read through 4 pages of drivel to find this ^^ ... the original proposed SP rollover system.
It's not ment to be a system to allow a new player to 'catch up' to the vets ... it was ment to be a system that allowed you to take a break, go on holiday, not feel like it was a job you had to turn up to every day (or every week as it is now with the weekly cap).
The roll over should simply roll over a week, 2 weeks or whatever period of SP caps so your progress progress isn't completely lost if you don't cap out 1 week.
People here who want to be able to 'catch up to the vets' want an uncapped system with a rolling maximum a character is allowed to have. THIS IS NOT an sp rollover since no sp is being rolled over a cap ... sp is just being built up in a pot (equal for everyone) to earn uncapped as and when they feel like.
What Yagihige has explained here is the only viable option for an sp rollover system with variables like how many weeks can be rolled over and whether or not there is a slight increase in gain for banked sp. |
