Echoing Pixie's statement that it's weird that hidden rooms are taxed and they probably shouldn't be, but that being able to see a phome's total cost isn't a terribly useful indicator that they're hiding something - plus, considering how all PvP activity needs to be logged in cnotes, staff would lik...

Really, I think that the primary concern with mailing a whole guild at once as a non-leader might be realism - a guildleader would be expected to have the clout to have a staff of scribes ready to copy their letters over and over, but the average person probably doesn't.

Even if a new skill is not the best way to go, I do think that addressing this theme concern via game mechanics would be best solution - simply asking people to keep to theme isn't effective enough, and we don't want staff to have direct intervention in people's RP, so that leaves addressing the pro...

As a skill, it could be taught, which I imagine would be a pretty regular part of Knight training and a good RP hook.

If you have a backstory that justifies it, then you'd be able to purchase the skill up to 36 in chargen, I'd imagine - and I think it'd work a lot like the other skills in that 36 will cover you in most situations. I imagine that 36 would be enough to stand up to mages and minor demons 100% of the t...

This is sort of what I meant before when I answered the question of "how can we encourage more themely behavior?" with "make more game mechanics that tie into theme" - this way, the more themely behavior will arise completely naturally, rather than having to be enforced. If keeping your head when fi...

I admit it makes me sad to have to resort to things like that to get people to play thematically... I don't think it's sad! To be honest, every coded system in the game could be seen as a "resort" in this case - we have a skill system in place not because we don't trust players to refrain from deci...

IDEA TIIIIME I'm a firm believer that the best way to encourage themely behavior without moderating player behavior directly is to encourage it through game mechanics. So, I had an interesting thought: what if keeping your cool in the face of magic and demons is a learned skill? That is, a skill you...

THank you so much!

Now that gnotes are gone, it would be really handy if GLs were able to send mail to all guild members at once to make announcements and the like. A board in the guildhall unfortunately couldn't serve this purpose, since there wouldn't be any sort of notification - people barely ever checked the gnot...
