PROPOSAL

As specified in Gotchiverse Bible Chapter 3, solo gotchi channeling will work via a 24 hour cooldown timer that starts immediately after a gotchi channels at an altar. We propose that this be revised to a windowed 24 hour system that runs from 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC in which a gotchi can solo channel once, anytime within that 24 hour window.

TIMELINE

Proposal to be implemented on or before May 18, 2022 (the commencement date of solo channeling) or as soon thereafter as PixleCraft can ship..

RATIONALE

With the introduction of the 12 hour petting cooldown system a year ago, we have all come to realize that a set interaction time with your gotchi is hard to maintain given real world events, network congestion, family and work commitments. We do not want to repeat this limitation with solo gotchi channeling, The above limitation has led to the development of automated bots to guarantee interaction efficiency which, arguably, results in lower user engagement. By removing this limitation for solo channeling, it is much more likely that players will organically engage with their gotchi for solo channeling on a daily basis, Many players have multiple gotchis, multiple parcels and multiple altars spread all throughout the Citaadel. These players have shown amazing support in our community and should not be restricted in their efficiency by a 24 hour cooldown. They should still be able to comfortably channel once per day with all their gotchis when their busy schedules suit.

BENEFITS

The 24 hour channeling solution would: Improve quality of life for gotchi owners, Mitigate unfavorable interaction times, Mitigate network congestion at interaction time, and, Increase daily engagement for time-poor players.

RISKS

Proposal implementation date may be delayed if Pixlecraft encounters technical challenges or is otherwise unable to meet the May 18, 2022 implementation date.

OPTIONS

OPTION 1: Each Gotchi can channel once per day anytime between 00:00 to 23:59 UTC. OPTION 2: Each Gotch can channel once per 24 hour period beginning at the time of last altar interaction.
