Alpha Lands (Original land sale)

[gentle solstice]

I propose a designation of Alpha for original lands purchased in the first land sale, similar to the Beyond Alpha designation. I believe this would help with value add in the future for those original lands and makes them more of a collectable.

Benefits of holding Alpha lands and producing Alpha resources is that they could have an effiency boost, Alpha PB's and the skins they produce can have a uniqueness to them like a shimmer or glow.

This proposal takes inspiration from https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1123318798712315915.

I would expect it would not be paricularly demanding of the dev/web team.

Would like to know thoughts of pros and cons. Please comment.

Without thinking about my/our own bags the benefit i would see for that wouldve been if it was a feature implemented before the land sale. Now that this 1st sale already went on implementing this would most likely have a small effect on current lands and just set the new standard. On the other hand, it would devalue future sales, as those would be lesser than current first batch ones

I'm not sure why/how it would devalue future sales. Just like Beyond Alpha discs etc was implemented after the initial release. I believe it just increases the collectability of the current set of lands and considering we've been holding them for over 2 years+ it would be a nice add.

@gentle solstice would you expand on this? I’m not very familiar with Beyond.

Like a first edition stamp?

If you go onto the Illuvidex and search for disks or Illuvitars, you have the option of searching specifically for Alpha. They have a uniqueness to them and they are valued higher.

These are just screenshots from my phone. But you should get the idea.

Since levels go up when you do any activity on land, I'd expect a filter on level to be added at some point. Then, the first land plots would naturally jump out at people due to the increased amount of time they could be played on and fuel that was extracted.

A [1] Icon could be cool as well. but from my perspective not necessary if there is a "filter on Level" option added.

I can’t say much in this since I’m not much of a collector. I wasn’t with Pokemon then, but now I see the first editions and think they are cool.

All levels will be reached eventually by all lands. Alpha lands - from the original land sale would potentially have their value increased by adding the special designation and will add to the collectability. What makes them specially after holding for almost 3yrs?
