I can't speak for all languages... at all. But my working with Python, Lua, and SQL imply to me that it's not that difficult. (But Ieptix gave an example a few pages back of how an idea we thought was simple was not.)
Unless the database is stored in COBOL. *beep* COBOL.

I believe IRE games have their own code base... if memory serves, it was based on C... it's been a while (At least 10 years) since I had the conversation with Sarapis on Achaea about it, so I could be remembering incorrectly.

Yeah, they have their own language in Rapture (I think it's called). From what I've heard of it, it doesn't necessarily have everything you'd expect (I think it was something like no for-loops or something?), nor does it apparently have direct access to the data in the database. So yeah, it could easily be a case of not being easy/quick enough to code.
I don't want people knowing I've watched "Of Hearts and Holograms" like 500 times.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
I'd like to see the ability to order guards to follow be added, being that when summoned, they follow the person that summons them... someone forgetting that fact can easily drag guards off-plane. Alternately they should really stop following when the person they're following attempts to move off plane through any means.

I thought this was already the case. AFAIK guards automatically get left behind when you try to walk to a location they should not be (out of org territory). I know they follow through the orgix, since I guess that's tagged as the respective org territory, but if you tried to cubix to another plane, surely they won't follow?

My issue is something else entirely. Yes, they won't follow if you try to take them where they shouldn't be, but there is always the option that you might end up taking them somewhere they won't be doing any good if you forgot they follow on summon.
I'll give an example. Someone summons guards at the Matrix on Continuum. Then said someone, forgetting that the guards auto-follow on summon orgbixes back to Prime, guards in tow. Those guards are now on Prime and cannot be moved back to Continuum in any fashion as there is no orgbix exit that leads to the Matrix on Continuum. (Except if the person notices and gets an aero/researcher to follow transversing). The guards will not follow where they shouldn't be, no... but I feel the orgbix room needs to really be considered a place where guards should be incapable of entering, thus avoiding incidents like that. Other option, as mentioned, would be to allow guards to be ordered to follow so that they can be lead to linked planes.

A new config option for those of us that have to suffer through daylight saving timezones. Something akin to CONFIG DAYLIGHTSAVINGS ON/OFF which would add +1 or +0 depending on whether it was summer or otherwise in real life.
I always get confused with the times in logs etc when they don't match up to my own time. Just a thought, would be nice!
I doubt it's as simple as that. Odds are the time in the logs isn't stored as time, but rather as text, which makes hour conversions rather tedious. Also, if you add that option, there'd be confusion since it would no longer match the time on TIME, unless you want that to change, in which case people would start getting confused about when the weave changes.

You shock a platinum-coloured geomycus with tales of terror bestowed on villages who don't follow Magnagora. A platinum-coloured geomycus slaps her knee and declares that, by the gods, Ptoma Hive should follow the Grand Empire of Magnagora after all! Shouts rise up from Ptoma Hive, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Grand Empire of Magnagora.

Could we get a warning when stable fees are running low? Perhaps with the ability to configure at what point you want to get the warning. For example, when fees are less then 5 months you get a warning message.

Can we please have someone look at the AB RUNES <rune> files. Just listing the tint looks lazy and unprofessional. =/
EDIT: The ASCII art on every rune probe is pretty darn awesome though, can't lie.
Ooo, have I converted you to runes Maligorn?
I made post before our talk, but suffice to say I have a character somewhere with Trans Runes and another character elsewhere with not-trans but also Runes. -eyeshift-
I would like perfumer type skill. Maybe make it a mini skill?
This is basically just a brain dump of my idea. Here are a few possible skills:
Distill Fragrance - the main ability. Design and submit fragrances that can be applied to various other products. The perfurmer would combine herbs, etc with various of things to make things smell good.
Candles - Either the perfumer could design custom candles, or just make generic candles that go into artisan created candle holders. They would make the candle, APPLY SCENT to <candle>. After being lighting a candle, the room now smells awesome and players can SMELL HERE. The scent lingers for a while and fades shortly after the candle goes out.
Oils - Perfumers can use carrier oil (made my loremasters, I think) and other things to make oils for various purposes. Most commonly a player could APPLY OiL to themselves. Players can then SMELL <player>.
Soaps - Make scented soaps that provides a custom message when SCURBing yourself clean and the scent lingers for a while.
Anointed Oil/Censer - I was trying to think of a cool trans ability. I was thinking about something that players can use for personal and/or temporary shrines for RP purposes. I perfumer makes a fragrance that is pleasing to the Gods. Maybe use the oil on a full figurine for some awesome outcome. I dunno...I didn't think that far, lol.
edited to add: I don't think this is a simple idea. It started out with "I want perfume!", then I just started typing and this post happened.
I know how you feel! At some point in the past I wanted Ikebana in Lusternia...then it got bloated into an entire horticulture skillset.

Look, just make a monk-only trade skill that permits people to prune and cultivate bonsai. Magic bonsai, whose twists and turns create various beneficial effects when placed in manses or carried around with you. Maybe even cursed bonsai!
Jadice, the Frost Queen says to you, "Constant vigilance."
Can we get the ability to weaponprobe stuff from the aetherplex, please?

"You have earned 300gp from the sale of a ticket to a replay of 'Duet of Discord'. The gold has been placed in your inventory."
We'd see something like
"Prav has bought a ticket to 'Duet of Discord.' 300gp has been placed in your inventory."
Because I want to ask them what they thought about the show.
