It would be great if some dev could add a new item: a "blank bottle"  :D
It should be an item like the books that any player could fill (aka "name it as you wish") with anything they want ;)

An item "empty bottle" exists. But I believe it is a quest item (to be filled with pure water?). And it is not able to have a custom title ...

Customizable bottles/flasks/packages/meals would indeed be an interesting addition. A GM could "engrave" single items; but I doubt a specific item class for user customizable items would belong to seriously planned content, the risk of abuse is known from years of misnamed pets and books.

Make a wish...with your name on it there is a better chance to not get it ignored.

yes I believe that some items like that could be nice addition to RP... do you believe I could ask a GM to engrave some items to stage at the event?

vram needs to be high too. and you need to make sure custom is set as the global "quality" setting

Hey everybody, in talking with people I've noticed both a shortage of players RPing tailors and that we don't have kran food aside from raw ores and crystals. I'd like to ask if anyone that can RP a tailor could start offering tailoring services and maybe even advertise themselves. Also, can someone could come up with some kran dishes and serve them at the ball? Perhaps some blacksmiths might double as kran chefs and make diamond sprinkled iron loves. or make little lumium and coal quiches with little bits of copper shaped into something cute as a garnish? ;)

We are still working on the location of the ball as we want as many people as possible to be able to attend and once we finalize our decision, we will let everyone know for sure.

Lumium, to my knowledge, is actually kran waste product.
Ardoin: So, do you drink moonshine?
Earowo: As long as it has alcohol, I'll drink it.

I'm not a computer freak but I think it makes sense that you can't just have a bunch of ram, you need a decent CPU to keep that info flowing, or else your ram won't work to it's full capabilities.  :-\

About the ball, I have some questions that I'm not entirely sure about.
We have to dress up? yeah?
It takes the whole Hydlaa map? yeah?

So what happens if we like to play a character that is a bit trashy and kinda slumps around Hydlaa, are they able to go to the ball?
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.

At the DEV meeting Sarva said that the GMs team will try to run a couple of "engraving sessions" in preparation for the event

Yes, we would like to see people comming disguised.

Nah of course not the whole map. The initial plan was to use a small part of the plaza for it. But this plan was dropped now with the new map as it causes too many problems for too many people. Currently it looks like we will do it in east Hydlaa on the plaza right at the gate. But we will post something once the location is finally fixed.

Why not?

Ugh..should have stayed longer than 5 minutes at the dev meeting I guess. *looks to Illysia* "Anything I should know?"

I'm pretty sure Illysia has nothing to do with that, since it was my request :P

Yeah, that's going on aside from what we are doing. ;)

However, yes characters that aren't dressed up can be there, but I imagine that Lillia will pitch a fit if this is the case. And if the princess ain't happy, nobody's happy. ;D

A Ball would imply, to me, an evening of dancing with musicians playing. My guess is that it is derived from Ballroom Dancing.

Due to the fact that the event is to stretch over a couple of days is it meant more like a Mardi Gras type of event? A Ball would imply, to me, an evening of dancing with musicians playing.

Perhaps it is not only me who is confused as to what to expect?
