Something unrelated to the mechanical viability of traders and trading as a progression method but that does need to be addressed: Lusternia's technology level is not at all as limited as the design trades are. Magnagora has gas lamps, steam en…
Hm. Something like that might not actually be a bad idea. Theoretical spitballing here, but: have a period where villages that revolt can no longer be influenced. Instead you need to complete quests/comm turn ins if you want your org to win it,…

Because we've already been down that path and it still leaves a wide open gap that doesn't feel right. Tradeskills still can't make money, but are still 'required' until you spend enough goop and credits to opt out over time. It…

Basically, the answers to these questions are getting divided down the middle of the vocal player. On one side are those who would like to see trades as a viable RP identity and money making path. A true newbie is most likely go…
Might be best to split the difference. Let active generators do the heavy lifting, but have mines available that you shove gold (or food. Please make cooks relevant) into to get some additional comms out.

On AFK checks I've seen it go both ways. ISSUE ME has the advantage that the admin can confirm whether or not the person's AFK themselves without wondering if they've been tipped off by the issue. ISSUE <person> allows the…
Obviously my biggest wants are for the system to reward traders' time investment. Personally, I'd like for the system to be set up so that: 1) Every commodity has at least one quest that can generate it that doesn't require players kill loyals…
As a note on Uzriel's answer to 7: Aside from Celerity, rooting, and experience (which are all outside of the weighted buff system), getting to 13/13 requires artifacts. The artifacts to take vitals and vitals regeneration buffs to x/13 are 500…
Quick note: If we look at where the commodities are going right now, that should be seen as a baseline to start from rather than a hard and fast set of numbers. ie: Just because we're using 2x as much cloth as leather doesn't mean that cloth should …
1. Things have gotten better, I'm sorry you didn't get to see it.
2. I'm going to diverge a bit from the majority and give a mechanical answer. It was nice knowing that if you saw someone on GW, there was a fairly good …
1. There is a quest tengentally related to a certain important historical figure. If you give that person the untranslated scroll that was originally written for them, you fail the quest because it won't be returned, but you are thanked profusely be…
If Lust to the caster is included and so is clearing affs on a successful Climax, would that cause the victim to automatically reject the caster as well?
As a Mage I cannot, in fact, sip love potion and expect to stay effective in combat unless I'm going to be in someone else's meld 100% of the time (at which point I'm better off changing classes or speccing into aerochem really). =(
