This may not be well thought out enough to be sponsored but maybe with some discussion we could think about getting something together. I was wondering what people would think if there was a Bank option for an offshore account that accrued interest based on current investment. I would leave the Federal bank as it is, very simple to make transactions, and perhaps make the offshore account have the advantage of interest bearing money, but make it a hassle to deposit and withdraw by forcing +10 mins to all Cooldowns. Something that has a downfall, but could make someone with a lot of money much richer, IE crew leaders. The interest percent can be whatever makes sense but I was thinking it would be interesting and add a strategy as to when to add money and it would put a hold on when people take money out based on when their interest is paid to the account. Basically some food for thought, wanted to see what the community would think of this idea.

From what I gather it sounds like you want something similar to CDs in a bank. Where you put back money for a certain amount of time and you are unable to withdraw the money until the deadline is reached thus it builds interest. It is an interesting concept that we could consider if you ask me, if of course this is what you are suggesting. Im curious to see the thoughts on the other PC members.

I've seen adding interest to bank accounts suggested many, many times before.

My personal thoughts on this are that it allows someone who maybe logs in once every few days to make decent money, even though they've put in close to 0 work. This game is all about people who put in the most hard work reaping the rewards. OCs were changed to 3 a day rather than one a day, so that those online more would earn more money than those that log in for just a short time a day.

Being able to log in for 2 minutes just to invest money, to log out for a few days and reap the profit is something I'd never support.

Interest for interests sake is a bad idea just because no one would invest in casinos since they could essentially have way too much money by an initial investment. I wanted something more along the lines of a bank account that was offshore and made a strategy to money by a risk involved in taking money out too early. A CD is a good way to put it. Trust me, I in no way want this to turn into a game that you come back to harvest crops for sales at a market, there is plenty of crap on facebook to invest meaningless hours on there with that genre. But a CD would be good because you risk not only that money that you can't have back until it has matured, but you also risk that you may not be alive. Whenever a war starts everyone buys out every credit in the market place and you would have to be damn certain you want to invest X amount into a CD. And the amount of return would be low but with high amounts of money it could be a benefit. It's something more to think about then vote on right now. I think it would make for an interesting experience because if you lose that money rather then buy all the credits you can, its a tougher life for your son when you die.
