It would be extremely nice if we could make entering the aether manses a less obscure process for the sake of the shops hidden away there.

Can we just add a sign to the portal rooms mimicking the ones inside shops, and akin to marking the entrance to the subdivisions on other IRE games?

"You see a sign here instructing you that PORTAL is the command to enter the aether manses."

As things stand, no one ever just stumbles across the aether manses while exploring. They see these mystical portal room thingies and maybe go, 'Huh. I wonder what those are?' and move on, never knowing they're just a whisper away from several dearly paid-for shops.

And ironically, since these are the shops that tend to be owned by those few determined players who say, "Damn the expense: I want to play a shopkeeper," they also tend to be some of the best kept shops in the game.

Yes please.

The Portals of Serenwilde.
There are 10 centaur hunters here. You see a sign with instructions on how to use the Aetherplex chambers here.
You see a single exit to the out.

Yeah, I'd buy a manse shop if that happened.

Good idea.

Wow they actually did it!
Vix2005-07-22 21:53:15
What? You expected them to not do it?

Maybe not so fast! Especially since I said it was a good idea, and that's usually the kiss of death.

Aww give them more credit than that!

I guess I am obligated to buy a manse shop now?

And the reasoning is revealed
