How about if it would be gravel account 100k-5mil, bronze acc. 5000001-25mil, silver 25000001-50mil, gold to 100mil and platinum over 100mil? Each has its own interest, 1%, 1.5%. 3% and so on. And maybe, maybe when we change account's value, like from bronze to silver, silver to gold, etc, we also get an achievement?

What is stopping people to lend the money for the achievement and thus, keep the higher interest rate?

And, if it drops back to the old rate if you remove the money, would it really be worth keeping? I don't think it would.

I prefer having the idea Keith mentionned months ago, to go and buy your way to increase your interest.

unfortunately i can see this being exactly like neopets' system where all you have to do is pool your money with your friends until you have enough for the top interest rate, then we're back to exactly where we started.

I'm completely against increasing interest rates based on the amount of cash you have in your account. I'm not thrilled with the idea of "buying" interest either. In both cases the rich get richer and that's what started all this screaming of "unfair" in the first place

I would like to see interest rates increased based on site activity instead. Kind of like the blue bldg entry requirements. And not all the same (i.e. if one of the requirement to get 2% interest needs 100 posts, then the requirement for 3% shouldn't just be 200 posts, it should a different activity). In this way, you are rewarded for actually being here and using the site and exploring the different activities you can participate in.

Yep, I totally agree, but as I recall something alike was suggested and dropped like a hot...doodoo...I'd love to be able to actually do something around the site either then hunting items for money...
