Yeah i think that\'s what he meant. Will there be games in fairs? :)

Post by: Anath on January 29, 2002, 01:33:20 am

I think there should be, games are a good thing at a fair :p But I think if we have fairs that it will be done by players. Maybe the could just make a area for this. One with already made boothes that stay there all the time. Maybe a stage.... Stuff like that.

Ah, a stage where actors can act and we pay money to watch.

Fairs will be easy, and hopefully common place... since there basicly a player created thing, no coding required, there is one every few weeks on EverQeust.

There usualy A large planned gathering of players in some where like the great plaza to sell items and sell there tradeskills, add the odd event like drunk newbie races or easter egg hunts and you have a good time on your hands... im sure the Gms can add the odd surprise here or there as well.. if there informed of teh event in advance.

it would be nice to see fairs. places where you can win prizes with bowshooting, see fireartists, jugglers, and (player) bards that perform

Perhaps it would be the ideal place to host the theatre group we talked about a while back :)

Post by: Kiern on January 30, 2002, 03:13:49 am

also there should be little booths for people to poor to have their own shops or so you dont have to travel to the other side of the world looking for these things

Title:
Post by: Dwinney on January 30, 2002, 04:26:30 pm

Maybe travelllers could join fairs to sell their stuff instead of having a shop at a fixed place. (they\'re travellers, lol) Then after maybe one week or a few days at one place the fair would move on to somewhere new.... :D

I just had this idea too, and I think it\'s really cool:

-Setting up little stands for merchant-types to sell items
-Games and contests that rely on your character\'s skill
-Betting on games and contests  :D
-Big areas for related characters, like maybe an area called \"The Forge\" and smiths could get together and talk about different things relating to smithing in PS

Yeah, all this and more!  However often they are (periodic, or whenever the gm\'s decide to have one), I\'m sure they would be a big addition to PS!

Haha, that\'d be cool to have festivals every so often. People could sell food and put on various acts and shows. There could be big duel tournaments with high rewards.

Excellent idea,

Having fares would really add some character into the game and make it fun and exciting after weeks of hard training.

Post by: anorthian on September 25, 2002, 06:27:09 pm

Yeah and you know what else would be cool? If we could open doors to get into the fair, or maybe let different races in other than dwarves. You guys are thinking about this way too much into the future. I mean I don\'t know much about this game but how long do you think there will even be a stable release(Monsters, doors, npc\'s, everything)?

I think once they get a nice release and get it ported to a Mac ;) I\'ll start thinking about these really cool things. But untill then I\'ll just sit and do nothing while I wait for World of Warcraft to be released.... then released on a Mac :(

wow!! another old thread alive again ...i like the idea of fairs/carnivals too ...maybe some jester/acrobat/actor NPCs would make it great :]

Post by: Smurflor on June 04, 2003, 03:55:41 am

And what fair would be complete without some women (men too if thats your inclination) of less than \'wholesome\' repute...

oh and how bout a Whores Guild ? :P:P:P

How about a building skill? that way you could build your own movable stand..that way, you wont hafta be lifting it everywhere ^_^. But also we have a problem. What if you were moving the stand too fast, and the stuff falls out?
