I really only addressed profit because people keep saying more shops will mean people won't make money. I cited reasons why that's not true but I don't think profit is the sole factor to consider.
People are talking about short term stalls and markets that last a week but those would really only work if, say, everyone's clothing decayed on new years en masse and then they'd have incentive to go shopping for them. People tend to mostly go shop…
The trouble with temporary market stalls is that stuff decays or you might want an item for a situational scene or purpose. Not everyone wants or needs stuff at the same time.
Also I don't think profit necessarily needs to be a factor. Va…
Aetolia is not imperium though. Most shops here sell (and make a nice profit off of) crafted stuff. More shops doesn't really cut into that - if someone likes my particular aesthetic for panties they are going to buy them even if areka is selling he…
I'm well aware that you can create "anything" you want in aetolia. I'm also aware just how tiring that is and with minor houses being removed it's clear from the get go that whatever you try to create isn't going to go anywhere or get admin support …
Aoi's shop isn't storage. Aoi hasn't been logging in. She's 2 years behind taxes. I don't like just taking shops from people given how expensive and hard to get they are, and it's been the holiday season, so I'm giving her time to return to catch up…
If they are selling 10-20 things, they are using them. Maybe not as effectively as others could, but they are still being used. You're talking about repoing shops because people don't stock enough stuff. I'm not putting it to any extreme, I'm simply…
I've specifically seen variants approved where the subject was not the keyword. I rejected and Becue gave it a go ahead because the keyword was used, period, so I don't see any reason why near-matches wouldn't be similarly allowed.
People already get away with submitting stuff where the keyword is used as an adjective (there was one a while back submitted as a chair with a name like "a chair-like cushion" or something) so I don't see how it would ruin the game to relax keyword…
Why should cities have to micromanage that stuff, and put us in the roles of playing mommy taking away toys? That's not fun at all and I have no desire to yell at people and threaten taking something they spent gold and credits on. If more shops wer…
Right, I guess I'm just grumbling at how the Dominion has severely limited and narrowed what constitutes the vampire norm. It's really shallow, as far as RP potential goes, versus everything you could do with vampires.
You can, but that's akin to asking "Why don't you just RP out stuff without being in a guild or city?" Being in an established organization makes it far easier to attend events, find people to RP with, have things to do, etc. Admin events are also c…
While I like that vampire RP and culture is being given some love, it's kinda a bummer that the end result is basically just strongarming the Abhorash-is-all aspect of it.
Vampirism is a huge and enduring metaphor, and they have been been…
I don't think it's lack of content as much as it being more out of the way and not having a directory. My shopping habits these days consist of doing DIRECTORY ALL [thing] or walking out from my wings to Delos.
If you are max level, xp caps at 90k. The boosted lesser xp basically caps out before any xp buffs take effect - at low level, it doesn't. Many XP buffs (and bashing buffs) expire at death. It basically discourages you from pausing bashing to go PK,…
This is a nice conversation and maybe someone could split it off yo the pk section.
Re learning there is the pk clan (called uhh...pk) for darkies. We are still compiling combat guides (and people can make a decent chunk of credits from h…
If they are going to push the House/Dominion thing even more heavily, it sure would be nice if more flexibility was given with Houses and maybe a re-look at the edicts. I personally am kinda just there because I want to read the news posts and be in…
