Hello, wonderful readers of the Chronicles. Firstly, I would like to introduce myself. My name is mcd573, and I’m the newest member and interviewer of the KoH Chronicles team. It’s an honor to provide you with stories, news and other things about KoH.
This week, I’m interviewing a few members of the Kingdom about the new pay policy, which has been slightly confusing to newer and older members.
I decided to take opinions from all 3 sides of the spectrum: Founders, MRs/HRs, and the Peasants of the Kingdom.
I interviewed AndrewDay11, the Prince of Habbo, who helped develop the system, Weaver666, one of our Kingdom Governors, and KrakenQueen, a Painter from the Peasant Division.
[Question Segment]
M: Do you think the new pay policy holds potential for easier and better pay?
AndrewDay11: Yes, I feel it awards the people who actually work, and stops those who don’t from getting pay they don’t deserve.
Weaver666: Yes, it has potential, but the timing may be difficult for some people.
KrakenQueen: I think that since it worked well in HIA and WH, it should work here as well.
M: How do you think the new policy compares to the old?
AndrewDay11: Rather than favoritize people, we can reward everyone and make sure people who work get paid.
Weaver666: I don’t really think they’re similar, you now have to be for an hour and be active, with the old system you got points for completing tasks.
KrakenQueen: I think the objective-based system may be more actively rewarding, but it does make it easier for new people.
M: What do you think the pros and cons are of this system?
AndrewDay11: The pros are that people who work get paid and we’re not wasting credits on people who don’t deserve it. The cons are that some members may find it hard to make some pay times (this is why we have three).
Weaver666: Pros are everyone gets the same pay, the cons are timing is difficult.
KrakenQueen: Pros: Everyone gets paid at once, it attracts new members, and it may be a little easier. Cons: Lines can be a little chaotic, and the workers may not be long-term. Time-zones can also be an issue.
M: Do you think we should keep this system, but mix the Pay Points back in with it?
AndrewDay11: I think for now we should leave the pay how it is, but we may change it a bit in the future.
Weaver666: We had a person quit because they couldn’t make the pay times. You could make it work, but you may have lots of redemptions anyway.
KrakenQueen: I think it may be a little confusing for newer members to add in points, but you may be able to rack up points to achieve a promotion, which does seem like you’re achieving something.
M: Do you have any final questions or comments to the throne on the system?
AndrewDay11: Nope, thanks.
Weaver666: Timings could be changed a little bit. Could you maybe make it so that people with hard time-zones can manage to get paid?
KrakenQueen: Nope, I think I’m good!
As you can see, everyone mostly thinks very highly of our new system, but we all think there could be room for improvement. I thank all of the people I interviewed for their time. I also encourage anyone who’s confused about the system to make their opinions heard and to ask for help if they need it.
See you next week!
