Fountain Meter
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Fountain MeterThis suggestion is similar to the Lovemeter - a sitewide bonus.
The concept is fairly simple, after so many fountain donations (maybe 1-2 million pd?) - there is a random sitewide multiplier.
This multiplier can be simple as well. Some examples include:
•Breeding x2 multiplier (all breeding pairs create twice as many eggs, like Valentines)
•Mega multiplier (all users are more likely to hatch megas)
•Game chip multiplier (x1.1-1.5) - hangman, concentration, and the treasure hunt give more game chips
•Rumble multiplier - your pokemon will find twice as many items
•Berry growth multiplier - all berries grow twice as fast
•etc. (maybe x1.5 dream points, x1.2 shiny chance, etc?)
It'll happen roughly once a week hopefully (100 pd a day x 2000-3000 users online, and not everyone donates - and adjusting is easy enough if my math was wrong) and with the random multiplier, it's not going to be overly skewed towards any one benefit.

And to promote planning/encourage people to donate to the fountain, everyone knows the next multiplier (say at the bottom of the meter it has "Next Multiplier - Berry Growth")?
it'd be pretty nice to boost a bit of activity on here as well, if we've all got a common goal to work to. (like i mean i know it's literally just 100pd or whatever to make a wish, which is like nothing lol) but still, it'd be a nice break from the days we don't have our 2X from the love meter to be able to benefit from another on site event.
I just think the fountain shouldn't even be necessary since it barely helps me, that's why I don't use it anymore.
But this is a very good suggestion, just way too easy to have.
The other around the site ones are what I'm more interested in, like influencing berry harvest (maybe the charity coins are donated to is the "town beautification fund" - so they donate fertilizer to the whole town. Or the "town exploration fund" which influences the royal tunnel gems).
There isn't a big change for premium/non premium in those areas, and it would encourage more activity on different parts of the site.

I would even say maybe ONLY having PD from "regularly gifted to charity" count, so you know it's at least going somewhere, since PH doesn't actually have a charity system.
