UU loaning ingame, that automaticly sends back after 30 days or whatever timeframe the total loan plus interest.

UU will be held as lifers during the period of the loan. All accrewed uu willl be put as lifers until the amount of the interest is reached. Interest agreed upon depending on length, and parties preference.

actually like this one, add it as a broker option so the naq interest gets brokered back automatically along with the UU after the loan is up.

So yeah, nice idea. :)

That's sad... cheaters will always eliminate some promising ideas. Wish we could burn all these multies. :(

then it will be easier to spot them, flag all 0 interest ones and see how often they occur. a multi will keep renewing them or have several accts all loaning at once.

There are ways to prevent that ;) Multies are usually obvious, though there are always a few whom slip through the crack...

It would help the lower players as well, and perhaps be used to tie officers to their co through contract....ie, I load someone 10mil uu, and they CANT leave me as their CO for a month or 2.

a lot of newbies don't have FSS. if you place a loan feature in broker, newbies won't be able to use it. this defeats the purpose of helping out newbies grow faster, as pianomutt has stated.

So, add it outside the broker...put it on the officer page for officers...but in the broker for non-officers.
