  • Part of me thinks raffles, without a consolation prize of some sort, would possibly piss more people off than auctions, just because, like...idk if I dropped, say, 1000 credits on tickets...phew boy would I be salty if I got nothing out of it. Also …
  • I'll say I'm swayed on the idea that we should be having auctions more frequently, given that keystones exist, which dramatically increased the availability of credits in the game (if someone has been doing milestones daily since launch, they've acc…
  • Sometimes longterm ability to read the room and gauge public opinion makes more money than nickel and diming and squeezing your customer base for everything they're worth, particularly if your model requires a steady stream of relatively-happy custo…
  • If I'm being honest, framing work you put in game to save gold and credits as being "devalued" because you didn't get an auction is a bit silly. It's fungible in-game currency, you've lost nothing. None of us are promised auctions or the like, so I …
  • XP in group bashing is also quite terrible, so it'd need to be inflated quite a bit to justify the BS required to gather a party and the effort needed. A zone would also have to explicitly known to be a group zone up front so there's no confusion if…
  • (Quote) I don't have a horse in this particular race, but I do have to say that the low health barrier of wings et al is really not a handicap. Mj and I both have jumped together someone with wings and it is pretty much impossible to damage them to…
  • I've not seen an artifact nerfed the entire time since I came back a year and a half ago, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, but artifact changes would probably not cause a huge fuss if people who felt it ruined the artifact for them were…
  • This is more of a question, but I had to confirm before I even considered bidding on it, but Castle Expand is 10 free rooms, correct? Room credits and roomcredits are, uh, well. One of them is unfortunately named one way or the other and it's…
  • Auctions being done more frequently seems like a way to make something that's already kinda iffy even worse. T's reason for not doing custom wings was becuase they sold for so much less than they should've last time; having auctions more frequently …
  • From my perspective, Auctions are a no-win scenario for all but maybe, what, four, five people tops per auction? And even then, the "win" there is "I shelled out $1500 of credits for an item that may be unique and provide a unique bonus, or it might…
  • Group PVP is lackluster atm because most of Shadow's leaders either stopped logging in entirely or otherwise dramatically reduced their login times, so Spirit has been mostly free to do whatever they want.
  • (Quote) Well, yeah, but Aetolians will always drop credits on exclusive stuff, so this doesn't really mean much.

    I'm not as riled as Iesid is but I'm pretty sympathetic to his frustrations; it was a long time to wait for a thing that ha…
  • I thought this entire feature was for roleplay purposes? Why does there need to be a mechanical benefit for a wider breadth of treaty options?
  • Yeah I'm not sure nipple rings violates the PG-13 ratings.
  • Yeah listen to @Ayastia, @Tahm. People also tend to be self-critical while glorifyin…

  • On a similar note, give guilds tiny militias 👀
  • (Quote) NFI, I just noticed it like a week or so ago.

  • Yeah I'm into revokable/beqeathable housing permissions. I actually thought they already existed but I never found documentation so I must've just made it up in my head haha
  • Are "organization" and "city" synonyms here? Or are they used differently on purpose? Like can Bloodloch declare war on the Illuminae, or is this entirely a city-to-city thing?
  • (Quote) BZZZZZZZZZZZT, incorrect. I've been told in no uncertain terms that this is not something Aetolia provides at present. All current buildings for any orgs that aren't guilds are legacies. I can dig up the message but it'd take me time. I do …
  • Someone doubled the payouts for vermin and they actually pay alright now and isn't a total waste of time; it's made vermin-related milestones at least feel worth it! This was a silent change, so idk who or why this happened, but thank you!

  • Giving IC spouses mechanical authority over a player's paid-for house seems like a good way to make sure none of my characters ever get married lol. That said I could have sworn it was already possible to give someone the ability to change a house?
  • So! My two cents:

    I get why it's a separate currency, it was probably the only way to transfer stone into something else without making it, like, possible to buy artifacts by trading in stone. Totally get that! I do think there sho…
  • So, like, YAY! Stone no longer! I'm a little...confused about why it's a separate currency though? Are there plans to make it possible to buy roomcredits with regular credits or something at some point? Buy room credits with unbounds maybe? Just cur…
  • Oh I'm into this. I switched medications back in April or whatever and it was an extremely rough transition, but I'm much happier and doing a lot better on this particular set of stuff. My career has been doin alright too, and I've made a lot of str…
  • Deadass tempted to trigger "RP ADD" to my already-too-robust login script, and then do something like
    if commands_over_the_last_ten_minutes == 0 then
    send("RP REMOVE")
    …            
  • (Quote) This reminds me of something someone said to me recently regarding the RP culture in Aetolia, which unfortunately seemed uncomfortably true once I thought more about it, which is--heck I'll just quote them directly:
