Will people want to trade the ownership token? I'm happy either way and would be fine with it being an ownership token, just feel the question should be asked.
Active trading isn't necessarily needed, especially right away. Think of it a like a semi-private company. It is mostly the big existing players (who mostly know each other) who will end up owning it. If someone wants to buy or sell they know who to talk to.
1. I won't end up owning a lot as I don't have a lot of M, so I have no stake in this outcome
2. Might be a good idea to give notice of the snapshot time in advance (say a week) of actually splitting off CKO from CKM, so people who want to share in the initial CKO distribution can buy some M now. Might generate some nice M trading.
A simple switch where players can claim their CK assets and the M is destroyed ingame--though any due date misses the marketing opportunity (and subsequent bad publicity) of "I signed up a year ago and logged on and my account is worth a thousand bucks!" Vs "Assholes, stole everything in my account!"
It was sobering how many early players were disappointed or angry that their accounts were seized--and while this may pay a few bills or bounties, it misses natural reactions and the power of social media to make these annoyances--quickly and en masse--heard.
Could not agree more. That was one of the worst things done in this game. Don't repeat that mistake. In fact maybe recover the list of original (in many cases swept) players and drop them all a piece of this new distribution as a marketing investment to try to bring them back.
