What do YOU want in the official LittleBigPlanet Central Shop?

Archive: 53 posts


Along with the awesome vBExperience modification we've brought to the site comes a nifty shop, with tons of features and options. We want to know what you'd like to spend your money on, as it's important that the shop has the coolest stuff for you guys to pick from. I'll post a few examples of what's possible, and from there you can make up your own ideas.

Example 1

Buy the ability to have a larger avatar! Up the size from 85x85px to 110x110px!

Example 2

Want a custom signature by Maltay? Buy it here! Redeem the code you receive after your purchase by sending a PM to Maltay with the code in the subject line, and he will make a custom signature of your choice!

Example 3

Would you like to define a custom title? You can do it by buying this feature! You can change it at any time, so you don't have to worry about making a mistake or being unhappy with it.

There's a lot more that's possible(maybe even custom LittleBigPlanet level packs), so post your ideas and we might add them to the shop!

Absolutely, he actually asked me to add it as a shop item because it was getting to be too much for him.

That's it, guys? I mean, there's lots of possibilities, and I assumed you guys might know what you really want to buy. Smilies sound interesting, but I'm not sure if it's possible. The examples I listed are just there to let you know what's possible, and they will probably end up in the shop anyway. There's nothing special you guys would like to spend your points on?2008-08-15 16:32:00

so far i like all the ideas you had as examples, but i really like the idea of buying in game ideas like the custom map pack. I aslo wouldnt mind special wallpapers you can buy for your LBP central profile for when people view your profile, if thats possible.

Edit: and is there anyway to make it so people can buy more image slots for there signature? i would really like that too

I'm sure the last one is possible, and I plan on ironing out the custom map pack idea so we can get that to work(if Media Molecule allows what Halo 3 allowed, then it would be insanely easy, just a link to a download). The special wallpaper thing sounds a bit difficult, as I am not sure vBulletin supports that on it's own.

Cartman - Is there an option to change the users name colour? I think people might like that, cause they can stand out lol?

The other part of a bigger avatar e.g. how much kb it is?

Items like what?

And the ability to have a custom title(essentially your rank) is one we are probably going to include.

Yeah, there's "VIP" status which changes your username color and some other things. It basically makes you stand out.

Also, I have no idea what the specs will be for the avatar. The size was just a guess.

I don't believe so, not unless you customize it yourself.

Oh, that's one of the things I want to add, actually. I can't really say how it is going to work until LittleBigPlanet launches, but I'll make it work one way or another.

u should probably have some stuff that really attracts people browsing the forum to sign up and be a member.
Other than that maybe something on your public profile that you can show all your levels you made in lbp and give links or key phrases so people can find them online.
other wise its all great!!!!!!!

You lucky one's just owe me your soul. :kz:

I would like more PM space, you mentioned that before, then on the demo thread there is fake items.. we could maybe sell like, Sponges and Carboard sheets, just as a misc thing, that we can display on our profiles.

We can then be all like, "Ha, Miffy, I have 137 Sponges and you only have 20..." and he'd be like "Oh no, I want to beat you... *Gets baseball bat* (Just kidding) *Starts contributing more in each post, rating and tagging threads and posting on peoples profiles*"

It could just be a sort of fun currency thing that would drain the rest of everybodys points. And you could have sponge for User, Carboard for posts and something else for that other one?

Just an idea...

I've been leek spinning for 19 minutes so i'm a little insane atm

Yeah, the VIP status is where I was getting my idea's from. Maybe another idea would be to charge for the ability to change your username colour to anything? 'Cause I think VIP is gold?

You really want to buy something useless? I mean, if you guys want it, it shouldn't be hard at all, but I'd think you'd want to be able to get something worthwhile.

I'm not sure, really. I'm not an admin, so I can't just go in and check, but it might be possible.

But eventualy we're gonna run out of valuable buys, right? So profile toys aren't a bad thing. That or things like mustaches and helmets in place of the rank images <-

I'm not sure...

LOL. We should've kept that interview closed, and then let the users buy the question & answers. Everybody would want those :O

Alright, we'll come up with something if you guys want it. I could see little icons being bought, actually.

On a side note, it's taking a little longer than expected. Hold tight, guys, we'll get the shop up eventually. Keep coming up with ideas if you've still got any, as they are proving to be very useful.

Hm. How about:


LBPC Wallpapers
Graphic Packages (.zip files)
An Advertisement & Review of your Level
Custom Wallpapers? (Poor Maltay! )
LBPC Merch (Shirts, Mugs, Mousepads, ect. from Cafepress)
Upgraded Signature Size
Exclusive Levels


I'll probably think of more. When I do, I'll just add them to the list.

LBPC Wallpapers - Great idea, one that I plan on adding at some point.
Graphic Packages (.zip files) - Like for LittleBigPlanet? If harddrive importing is allowed, then this is an awesome idea.
An Advertisement & Review of your Level - I'd be up for this. We could advertise the levels in a special thread in the forum for user levels(which doesn't exist, yet). The review would be more difficult, but if we priced this high enough I could probably try it.
Custom Wallpapers? (Poor Maltay! ) - Haha, it's up to Maltay.
LBPC Merch (Shirts, Mugs, Mousepads, ect. from Cafepress) - That would cost actual money, and we'd never make any of it back.
Upgraded Signature Size - Doable.
Exclusive Levels - Absolutely planned.


What if we're using the level - hotel key link thing?
I thought we were, actually. I like the link idea better, because it's much easier to maintain.

EDIT: The shop's up. (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/xperience.php?go=shop) It doesn't have anything in it yet, as lbp is still fiddling with the settings, but you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Custom titles are a must. Outside of that, I don't really have an opinion.

Nice! Now all it needs is some items & Maltart! (Term coined by me! )

vBulletin is being mean. Basically, I have admin permissions, but I cannot change any vBExperience settings at all. I look like an admin but I can't do much of what an actual admin can do. lbp will be gone for about 4-5 hours, so the problem is going to persist until he or I finds a way to fix it.

It's probably not the same at all, but you could set up a new board temporarily and play with the settings in that, being an actual full admin.

(Although it has no ifnormation from our user database, so thats why it may not be helpful)

I've been an admin before a few times, so I know what it's supposed to look like. I don't know why it's giving us a hard time, though, and I can't look through and figure out why.

Anywho this shop idea is pretty tidy... theres no rush to get it sorted at the moment so no worries cartman.

And how do you get the points to spend then?

Through regular activity. That's the point of this system: it discreetly calculates each user's worth and rewards each user based on those calculations.

Not sure. We'll decide, though.

That's to prevent people from buying one at the moment. Like I said, the shop is not ready, so we set the price to something we know nobody can afford.
