Yeah, a coding solution would work for me. I’ve been coding Corvid about 4 months and have had some serious fun with it, but my friends and partners (other community leaders) need out-of-the-box utilities that they can easily manage. If arranging/prioritize badges as I described were baked into the badge dashboard (admin arrangement) or individual member’s areas (user selection priority), I think Wix would catch fire in an industry that is just busting for someone to meet its needs.
As I mentioned, gaming communities are forum-focused. Badges offer an opportunity to recognize members for a variety of things. This recognition is a big piece of the retention puzzle, which I did not discuss above. Communities that achieve high retention are emulated by other communities. And the tools they used to achieve retention diffuse rapidly.
To be able to offer this utility would be great for me, as I’m all about building communities. It’s literally what I do. But this would be a huge coup for Wix. I plan to promote Wix on my YouTube channel. I cannot express enough how fast the arrangement and prioritizing of badges would spread through our community and, certainly, beyond to other games. Moreover, I’d ensure it.
We have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Here’s hoping.
