@ Raikana:

The weekly appearance is almost a problem for me ... as I am in-game almost only during weekends. So this becomes already a nearly "daily newspaper" to me. And "a circle a day" is not little for a mainly roleplaying character. But it gives me OOC a good hint how much really happens during the week of absence. So don't get told roleplaying is dead, there is enough to fill a weekly journal!

Please don't get it the wrong way, but i don't understand the point of this message....

You can always buy it once a month....

And "a circle a day" is not little for a mainly roleplaying character.

Come on! A circle is more or less like a single ORE.... not too difficoult to get in my opinion! Plus, i think everybody knows yet that i GIVE IT FOR FREE if you don't have the money!

But it gives me OOC a good hint how much really happens during the week of absence.

Why OOC?   You character (In Game) opens the journal and get's an IN GAME overview of the week....

So don't get told roleplaying is dead

Dead? Truly i got so many stories to tell that i have always to choose what to publish....


Anyway thanks for all kind words and for all support! Is really needed is such a hard operation like a weekly journal! Thanks to everybody!

[LigH]

Well ... then take that as "early morning reply".

This newspaper is the biggest proof of how roleplay is still alive which is called "dead" by some forum trolls *coughs* peeps... who dont even play anymore. Just read it you will know what goes on.
I missed a few weeks of the game but I still know what happened all over yilakum so the newspaper serves its purpose in a big way so 1 cirlce is good enuff price for it I think.
Thnx Raikana for such a great idea

I have all 7 issues so far, going for number 8, [tomarrow?]

OOC'ly 1 circle is not a lot of money at all, its worth 250 tria
but you need to think of it in a few different ways
1.) If you do quests, you learn that it is indeed a lot of money, as for a BD guard, makes 25k a year, there are other quests that talk about pay, i believe.
2.) you can compare marketing, In real life, you can buy  a loaf of bread, [in the US] for around 2.50$ in planeshift you can get one for 12 tria i believe, thats not a lot more.. so it also shows how little money an average working man would get.
3.) If you noticed, 1 circle will buy food for an IC week or two..so that also shows

Iirc, I've heard talk of updating the wages and such in-game before, but it's probably a minor detail. Player economy will always fluctuate and if a player-made newspaper should cost way less than a circle, we should all sell our wares for less too - if you were a BD guard, making 25k a year, would you pay, say, twice that for a sword that'll quite possibly see enough battle to destroy it before you've had time to save up enough to buy a new one?

I'm admittedly not up to date on my weapon prices as they stand in-game right now, but I'm sure you get the point...

My guess is that if this is a medieval like settings that most citizens of the Dome could not read. So to compare it to a modern day rag that uses a printing press is not a good comparison. Each Journal would be hand copied like monks did with other texts prior to the printing press. The cost of a hand copied bible in those times was so costly as to only belong to the most wealthy. The same is probably the case for the Journal under the Dome.

The 8° issue is on sale!

As we do every 4 issues, we gave a present to the first customers, a little vocabulary of Klyran as talked in the street.
