Suggestion:
Add monthly and/or weekly subscription packages.
Reason:
More revenue, interesting bonuses.
Have I checked "Locked Suggestions" to see if this has been suggested before:
Yes.
Further Explanation:
Some players want to spend a lot of money on the game like $250 but can't afford to spend it all at once and lack the self control to save it up over weeks or months to buy the larger package. You could give players a portion of the extra credits they'd get for larger credit packages if they purchase credits regularly that add up to the amounts. Other benefits could be added too or a combination of both things. I have some examples below but really any features or bonuses stated are just ideas and the suggestion is just at it's core to have a regular scheduled credit purchase (membership/subscription program) with some small associated benefits, it doesn't even have to be credits as well as a loyalty program with more small associated benefits for continuing to make regular scheduled payments long term.

Rambling/raving ideas/examples related to my suggestion:
So, there's going to be a lot of crazy ideas under this and I don't want you to think I really want them implemented I just want the regular scheduled payment with small bonuses to encourage people to regularly spend the money.
Portion of bonus credits: Basically, every time you spend over $500 with payments of $50 or more you receive the bonus credits you would get with the $250 purchase minus the bonus credits that you have received from your previous purchases. So if you bought $50 x 10 you would get the 875 - 750 so 125 credits. So you'd only receive 125 extra as opposed to the 250 extra you would have gotten if you had purchased the $250 package twice. So there is still a benefit in purchasing the larger packages. You could receive these as a form of loyalty bonus if you subscribe to a $50 a month package you could get 25 bonus credits every second month which would add up to 125 over 10 months ($500 spent).
You would get the 2 month reward every subsequent month you subscribe and they would stack, so month three you get the monthly reward and the three month reward, month six you get the monthly reward the three month reward and the six month reward, month 9 you get the monthly reward and the 3 month award and month 12 you get the monthly award, the three month award the six month award and the twelve month award. It would continue in this pattern indefinitely as long as you are subscribed.
Example Subscription Tiers:
Bronze Tier: $20/mo
220 credits
+0.5% perm xp boost (can not exceed the 600%, would take over 80 years and exactly $20,000 as opposed to $250 to max xp boost with just this).
Monthly Loyalty Program:
1st month: nothing, obviously no loyalty proven yet xD
2+ months: 150% Captcha Rewards
3 months: 20 RP, will receive every three months of payments.
6th months: 1x Pandora Box, will receive every 6 months of payments.
12 months: Bonus credits? Maybe + 25% of your monthly credits (not including the bonus) on this month alone, and every subsequent 12 months. So 50 credits here.
Silver Tier: $50/mo
575 credits
+1.5% perm xp boost (can not exceed the 600%, would take 20+ years and over 20 years and ~$16.6k to max xp boost with just this)
Monthly Loyalty Program:
1st month: nothing, obviously no loyalty proven yet xD
2+ months: 200% Captcha Rewards
3 months: 50 RP, will receive every three months of payments.
6th months: 2x Pandora Box, will receive every 6 months of payments.
12 months: Bonus credits? Maybe + 25% of your monthly credits (not including the bonus) on this month alone, and every subsequent 12 months. So 125 credits here.
Gold Tier: $100/mo
1200 credits
+3.5% perm x boost (can not exceed the 600%, would take ~10 years and cost over $14.3k to max xp boost with just this)
Monthly Loyalty Program:
1st month: nothing, obviously no loyalty proven yet xD
2+ months: 300% Captcha Rewards
3 months: 100 RP, will receive every three months of payments.
6th months: 3x Pandora Box, will receive every 6 months of payments.
12 months: Bonus credits? Maybe + 25% of your monthly credits (not including the bonus) on this month alone, and every subsequent 12 months. So 250 credits here.
Platinum Tier: $250/mo
3375 credits
+9% perm xp boost (can not exceed the 600%, would take ~4.5 years and cost ~13.8k to max xp boost with just this)
Monthly Loyalty Program:
1st month: nothing, obviously no loyalty proven yet xD
2+ months: 400% Captcha Rewards
3 months: 250 RP, will receive every three months of payments.
6th months: 4x Pandora Box, will receive every 6 months of payments.
12 months: Bonus credits? Maybe + 25% of your monthly credits (not including the bonus) on this month alone, and every subsequent 12 months. So 625 credits here.
Diamond Tier: $500/mo
7000 credits
+20% perm xp boost (can not exceed the 600%, would take ~2 years and exactly $12.5k to max xp boost with just this)
Monthly Loyalty Program:
1st month: nothing, obviously no loyalty proven yet xD
2+ months: 500% Captcha Rewards
3 months: 500 RP, will receive every three months of payments.
6th months: 5x Pandora Box, will receive every 6 months of payments.
12 months: Bonus credits? Maybe + 25% of your monthly credits (not including the bonus) on this month alone, and every subsequent 12 months. So 1750 credits here.
5x Captcha Rewards might sound like a lot, but the highest level player in the game Strykes the other day said at level 147 he got 10k+~250k from the captcha, so at the highest tier he'd only be getting 50k+~1.3m. Less than the value of a single credit. I only get around 10k+40k at my level (13) so I'd only be getting 250k.
I think I am done for now, I might update this thread with more ideas about the subscription packages and/or loyalty program in the future.
