Re: Announce post #3334: Problematic Behaviour & Some Advice

Thank you for handling this so well. It didn’t affect me directly, but I have been subject to this kind of thing over the years. Nipping it in the bud and offering support, as well as the encouragement for those of us that often struggle with depression to seek help and how, shows an encouraging level of professionalism that is often lost online.

Stealth gold nerfs. While I don't necessarily disagree with them or their aim, I appreciate transparency and a comprehensive list of nerfing. Or even acknowledgement that it's happening! Changelogs! Woo!

Yeah, stealth changes to any mechanic I generally rely on makes me feel like a crazy person when it crops up, because I have to figure out whether I'm just imagining it lol

Re: Announce post #3330: Gossip

Would it be possible to slow down the decay of the gossip messages even further, or at least put a halt to the decay for at least a full 24 hours? Even in the morning after an event has happened, it's annoying to try to read a message that is riddled with commas. It should be rather fresh in people's minds for at least a week, one would think.

Re: Stockrooms and Exploration

Guildhalls don't count toward exploration (an org area), and like you said, it really resembles private property (houses, imo) more than org areas (temples, astral orgy spots etc). Both guildhalls and homes don't count toward explorers, and stockrooms are...really exclusive. You might be able to get someone to let you in for the number, but shop turnovers are very slow (another topic altogether).

I don't think this was the right call. Stockrooms feel like they're more of a mechanical contrivance than a real "room" even. They're an open air inventory for your shop. In another game with slightly different code, they possibly wouldn't even exist.

Stockrooms and Exploration

Hi! I'd like to talk about this feedback.

Stockrooms are:

Private property, owned either by a single player or an organization,
Intrinsically kept under lock and key,
Filled, by design, with a player's hoarded and/or crafted valuables.

Stockrooms are not equal, either. While most of them can be accessed with the Burrowing racial, Bloodloch's stockrooms are stashed away behind solid rock. The only way to get into them is to ask the owner of the shop in question to let you in - or sneak in through less-than-honest means. This isn't easy even when you're not enemied to the city.

If I burrow or sneak into the Syssin guildhall, I might be able to pluck up any non flame-sigiled goodies they've left around. I can probably kill their tutor and cause a bit of a nuisance. I really can't do all that much to them. No matter how we like to prop up the fantasy of defending our homeland, once invaders have gotten into it, they can't really do an awful lot.

So with all due respect, I believe stockrooms could not be more different from org-only areas!
