Fostering Greater Interaction Between Noble and Non-Noble

So one of the recurring problems with player retention seems to be about nobles not sticking around, and I suspect that one of the causes of that may be the IC 'social isolation' that nobility confers. Along with the greater sumptuary and noble rights comes, with my experience, a distinct disconnect...

Re: Magecraft Grandmaster Craft ideas!

Without knowing anything about magecraft at all (and in fact not even being able to see the magecraft tree), I have a couple ideas on powerful thingies that might be suitable for a grandmaster craft. No idea if this stuff is already in the magecraft recipes, or if they're feasible, so fair warning: ...

Re: Underpowered Skills

As far as I know, the scale in 'benefit' is linear. There's no giant jump in 'goodness' from 74 to 75, which is why a common strategy is to leave skills that don't have a 75 crafting recipe or some other special THING you get at 75 in master slots rather than grandmaster them. Unless you want champi...

Re: Physician Students

I think that in this situation, the debate was more about how it's 'only' medical RP that the Physicians have going for them, and getting injured or sick isn't really that common for most players.

Re: [Poll] Order Members with Mage Alts

My personal opinion is to always remove even the option of temptation of abuse. I know I have an unpopular view in that I simply don't trust players to be able to resist metagaming and crossing ic/ooc bounds, but... I just don't. I'm more comfortable removing even the option of them doing that, and ...

Re: Physician Students

This has come up before, and it largely boils down to IC choice of how the GL runs their guild, which staff have historically not interfered with. Usually the response is 'if a GL is doing something you don't like, there are IC tools like gambits to remove them and effect change'. Speaking strictly ...

Re: Forgery Upgrades

That makes no sense, dude. Also, this is about letters, mail, why the hell do we need Prestige to have any effect here? That's a conversation for another thread, my dude. No one would know you have this stuff in your house. Lol. I like the idea of copying Artwork, though. The problem with art and a...

Re: Forgery Upgrades

I have a rather large and expansive (and probably extremely hard to implement) idea regarding PRESTIGE that could tie in to forging. I'll skip most of the details and try to focus only on what forgery could bring to it, to stay on topic. So, I have complained frequently about how I find prestige to ...

Re: Naming the Grey Zone - Part 2

Though it's not EXACTLY the same as my 'priest's quarter', I like how you tweaked it into 'Confessioner's Alley'. So I'm gonna vote for that one.

And take total credit for it.

Re: Naming the Grey Zone

Bordertown - Since it's the BORDER of Southside and Northside The Block - Because Baltimore is cool. Priests' Quarter - Play on words because truly, no priest would be caught dead gambling and doing coarse ruby off a prostitute's rear end. Or my personal favorite... The Vavardi Quarter just kidding ...
