Having free tickets for players to enjoy

It’s 2025! What a year it has been. To celebrate this years Winterfest, hive brought us a new type of a cosmetic: tickets. Tickets are a paid item and give you a lot of things to earn through quests. The problem however, is that people will beg for the item non stop and just make it annoying for most people in the hub who just want to chill.

NOTE: I will be going over some things that are NOT implemented yet. I’m responsible for any miscommunication I could spread.

The concept is easy:

Each player has a free ticket that they can complete. It will be exactly the same as the paid one but with different cosmetics of course. The player CAN NOT be gifted the paid ticket before they complete the free ticket first( I will tell you why).The paid version will have different variants of the cosmetics the player has unlocked in the free version.

(Example: free version: snowy owl bed topper Paid version: mystic owl bed topper,

Free version: Reindeer Pet Paid version: Frost horn Reindeer Pet etc)

To prevent people from begging, I think being able to buy the ticket with 3000 QP (QuestPoints) could be a good idea but I’m not sure on that.

To unlock a variant for the cosmetic the player will need to get it by completing a semi-easy quest on the free version. Once they have done that, for all of the cosmetics, the player can go ahead and beg for the gift or buy it with QuestPoints.

This could be good for families that aren’t as wealthy as others and don’t have enough money to spend on a in game cosmetic. This will ensure every player will get something special to show-off or to use.

Not every season should have a free ticket as it could result in the hive not getting funds and I think we all know how that ended (for those who don’t know, that’s how hive java unfortunately shut down) but for winterfest I will recommend there being one as it is the season of giving. I do advise the hive doing a ticket for each season weather it is free or not as it gives the player something to do once they completed every thing.

Anyways, I hope you have are enjoying the holidays and a happy New Years!

Why would you pay the same for less?

Did you even read the post or just reply without reading, if so, I advise you read the post before commenting

I read everything except the last box. Im really tired. It’s really late for me or should I say early?
I unvoted cuz I don’t wanna pay 11€ 5x per year.

Hive doesnt like to give out free stuff so maybe 25% of the quests but then they get to choose one of the starters (ones you get right away) of the ticket

Edit: and also maybe cost 3000 qp and for a second quest its 50% of quests and 4500 then for 3rd its 75% and 7000 qp but then you cant get anymore

The ticket quests that are paid must be done from the start if bought afterwards and qp refund can be given

Quests can be done for free but yield no reward except qp unless 3000 qp paid

Should tell you something like: “Get all starters and full quests and extra rewards with the Winter Ticket. Now in the Marketplace for a limited amount of time!” Probably from qp master tho also little notif like they recentley added anyway for winter ticket to go to the qp master

The piont of tickets is for you to buy them. Its for more deticated players. If the free ticket gave stuff like pets or mounts that would de-value the normal tickets. If they were to do this they should make it to where you can do the quests and maybe unlock something like a MM grave or 2 other things that are less specile . Then you could upgrade the ticket and unlock the prizes from other quests like mounts.

We already give a lot of free cosmetics through events, levels and more. Tickets are purely monetization, and we have no plans to add a free ticket or free parts/tiers.

That said, we’re previously offered free multi-quests such as the Beeday hat, and we might do more like that in the future.
