Commodities
So, not to be that person, but I guess now I will be.
We as players were told well over a year ago that there would soon be a solution to the commodities issue. Worried about city stockpiles and all that.
We're at the point now where I've had someone from each city ask me to speak to Enorian's leadership about trade. While that would be pretty cool to do, we're not in any place to offer any of the commodities needed by most cities at this point and the NPC cities don't release comms at a rate the puts a dent in the needs of the crafters of Aetolia. These aren't 'optional' comms either. (Not that there are many of those, each comm has practical uses)
Wood, cloth and steel are the ones I hear the most. Armor, vials and bandages require these. Even if you don't care about crafting as much as some, when the comms run dry, so do the means for cities to outfit their fighters.
So, basically, I'm hoping for an update. I play mainly to craft, and boy does it suck to feel guilty about doing something I enjoy or make something that may not be mandatory just because we don't have a solution to the comms issue yet. I can't claim to know what admin plans were or are. I don't know if it's a ploy to get people to invest money in permanent vials and pipes or whatever, but it's to the point where I don't dare to ask my minister to move wood over for purchase because I'm not usually making anything critical. I invested money into crafting and am now finding it to be more limited than it was when I spent the money because people are concerned about running out of things citywide.
Some communication would be great.
had no clue where to put this post, sorry

It takes me almost 2 weeks to get 100 steel or stone from npc cities to support the city. I'm constantly searching, camping out, and spending gold. It can be difficult, but I do whatever I can to make certain Enorian's stock does not reach zero. It would be nice if I could offer our forgers more material to work with, but that would require change.
So for now:
(Illuminai): Saltz says, "Moxie is just doing the Moxie thing to do, often misinterpreted."
(Tells): Sir Iames Gallant, the Executioner tells you, "The one Illuminai beyond prayer, I swear."
Valingar: "How could a daughter of me, the most noble man in the south, be so heartless?"
(Tells): Haven Locke, Illuminai Khimaira tells you, "Be that as it may, I've also seen the strength in you. You can take care of yourself."
Let me surprise you. Let me have that, please! You’ll see where I’ve been hiding!

I understand it was raised in March, and once I release what I have been working on, you will understand why it has taken me a few months (outside of me being a volunteer), as it addresses a lot of woes and it is an entirely new system.
Rest assured, I am not asking for months of patience. I want to have this to you before I go on holiday at the end of next week. But there is a release we should of had to you a long time ago that gets to go first!

Hello friends!
Just giving you an update! We got a bit tied up in event code with Mages - but I am just letting you know it’s not anything crazy and we should have this new shiny to you within a week. I am excited!
I am also officially on my overseas holiday now, so I really appreciate the patience but I have left the finishing touches to @Razmael and @Keroc. They have babied this endeavour with me. It is in good hands.
I will definitely be around to announce it though!
