First and foremost, I appreciate ALL of you who come here week after week and enter contests. It's because of you I keep doing this. We are small, and don't have some of the perks offered in larger residencies, but you choosing to be a part of the weekly contests and such means a lot.
With that, "financially" we are struggling. Meaning we are running dry in the credits earned through the game, which feed our prizes. While I try to reward as best I can being small, the past year or so, we have been really "small". By that, I mean we are not earning credits the same way we have in the past, even as a small residency.
I don't know if it's because I've upped some our contests prizes too much, offer more contests then we should for our size, or our members just aren't running as many horses/stables that support the residency.
I am hoping that Mike/Frank get a new rewards system in place to help us out.
Having said this, I need to cut back on a combination of our prizes and/or contests until we can build back some bankroll.
Any contests on going like the Freshman Site, 2yo Dirt/Turf Series and Long Long shot luck will keep going, but I will need to reduce the prizes available.
For your reference, we are averaging ~313 credits earned per/week. Just in the Long Shot luck the prize is 200 credits. Which means we are only adding ~113 credits to per/week to the rez account, or ~5800 credits per/year. The 2yo Dirt/Turf series is currently slated to give away 8500 credits. You folks can do the math.
We used to be minimum 400 credits earned per/week, and it was around 500 for a time.
I haven't even replenished the horse prize pool yet!!
If you have any stables just floating around, not supporting any residency, please consider connecting to them to NWRC.
Questions, please let me know.
