Hi.
There are a few posts on this board about points, which made myself and other ask what they are actually for?
i reallly do think that something needs to be sorted out about this, i mean yeah, i've got 150k points give or take, so what? even the people in the millions don't have anything to show for it.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be done with your points? Please don't say things like a free premium acount, as we all kno that this won't happen; the admins made premium so that users would pay for it, not use bandwidth and play high low for it.
Ideas?
BEN.

Let me turn this around. Why is everybody so obsessed with the points? The points are just points. The point in having them is to play games and for bragging rights if that sort of thing interests you. Does there actually have to be any more point to the points than that? I'm mean at this rate everybody will be saying what's the point in the Zone if the points don't mean anything and on from that what's the point in the internet? Hell what's the point in life. Lets just all kill ourselves and stop worrying about what the point of points is!

well, the games are in insentive for premiums: Anagram mania and the higher betting limit on high low. Hell, why even have the 500000 for premiums if it means nothing? I mean, Dan has a point, but really, maybe we could think up something.

Well at this particular point in time the points aren't used for anything, except for maybe bragging rights perhaps. Hopefully the Admins or Community Leader will review and respond to the various ideas on the Zone BBS Suggestions Board so that the points could be used for something other than just sitting in our acoount balance.

Well, as I have just stated else where on the boards. The reason for having these points is so that you can play the games. That's what they're there for. That's the point.

I have a competitive nature and just enjoy racking up points for the hell of it. There doesn't have to be a point to the points beyond sheer competitivness to make me happy.

Yes but Harp not everyone comes on here to play the games and wish they'd have something more interesting to do with them points. Like me for example. Now that's fine for those who love playing them games but that's just not my cup of tea really.

well, it wouldn't be anything, but for the fact that the admins are always talking about how the points will mean something, please, they don't care, and they won't mean shit, we know it and most of us don't care
