Fill up a sack with waste and sell it. Pretty simple, unless that option has been changed. (I have been gone a while).

I can totally relate to what Xillix is saying. In my day, I'd design a kickass campaign complete with detailed NPCs, towns, flushed out maps, etc., spending hours on the background and settings. Then a player would join in and want a name like "Kiebler Kookeeznfudge". It seemed to be demeaning to my campaign setting and all my hard work.

Unfortunately, there is another side that is undeniable. It is a game, and players should be having fun first and foremost. Perhaps there is a happy medium to be found by tweaking the requirements to establish a guild, e.g. more members, more tria. This may, at least, accomplish only the most serious players establishing guilds.



Note: for the of you who don't get the reference... "Kiebler Kookeeznfudge" is Keebler Cookies and Fudge, a popular cookie with an elf for a "spokesperson".

I was wanting to know the thought behind the increase in price of the repair kits. Many a fellow player now feel their training in repair was in vain with the new price of 450 tria per kit.


I see no potential to repair a weapon, as a job, if it costs 2,000 tria to repair 25-30 points. How can one make tria this way? In my opinion, all this has done is eliminate repairing as a job in an environment in desperate need of jobs.

In reality, something like repair kits that weren't in high demand initially becoming 10 times more costly would destroy any market involved.

Now, it also takes three times the amount of seconds to accomplish on top of that!

It seems that fun is being sacrificed in the name of realism and balance. I ask you to reconsider this. It is priced simply TOO HIGH, and the amount of time required only takes away from fun a player could be having.

Thank you.

If I was mean, I would interpret this so that you expect the game mechanics to force players into a balance between roleplaying and skill leveling.

Often I see force as the opposite of fun...

Touche!

I think it's high time every stops with the control freakish attitude and realize people enjoy games differently. If it really affects your RP, then you simply don't know how to RP. Everything around you can be translated into RP, if you just took a second and thought about it.

-People running around is nothing new in a civilization without transport. (The North American Indians were said to have run for days at a time.)

-Shouting can be ignored.

-There are witless fighters in EVERY fantasy RP setting!

-You can always respond to OOC chatter IC. Just look at it as a foreign language, since you're trying to alienate them anyway.

All I've seen lately is this discussion all over the forum. As A DM of 29 years, I have met good and bad RPers. Nothing disrupts a game more than complaining about bad RP. The best way to teach bad RPers good RP is to stay in character and set them a good example of it.

I believe the best way to advance in an area is the way an old DOS game, Eye of the Beholder, handled it. You did it, so you got better at it...period.

Using this method, no matter what you wanted to do, you would advance by doing just that. Instead, players are forced to go kill to be able to train in mining, metallurgy, crafting, etc.

As far as stats, whatever activity you partake in would determine which stats advance. Use crystal way, gain charisma...fight a MOB, gain in STR, AGI, and END...run long distance, gain END, etc. The more focused an activity is on a stat, the quicker it would improve.

If this could be implemented, it would create a completely RP environment.

 

one problem with this, you cant mine unless you have trained it slightly

Implementing this system would allow everyone to mine, as a beginner, or, perhaps some skills would require you meet the right NPC or even quest to get started.

The only problem I see with the system would be the current economics. It would eliminate the need for money to train.
I could see having to find a trainer every 5 levels to advance further a solution to that, though.

I was actually walking out as that conversation took place! If I had known what your motive was, I would have stuck around and helped the poor kid.

So...

If the sky is a stationary crystal, how does it become night.

Is there any physics posted anywhere?
