I just got a rather clever idea on how to get more lessons. How about every year we get 5 lessons?

Imagine, getting wiser as you get older.

Nuts.

I'd love it. Gives the poor people who can't buy credits a bit of a nudge.

Bad for business though, ever so slightly.

Not really, this would, in my oppinion, attract more people to the game, and thus open up more business.

5 lessons a year doesn't seem to bad. They don't get you much in a skill(unless you've learned nothing in it), and are only gained once an in game year, so that you cna't suddenly jump way up in any skill, unles you litterally make a character, and let it sit and collect lessons for months and months in real time.

I can see going inactive for a real life year, coming back and having mucho lessons. I like the idea, but it could easily be abused.

That's not abused as it is exactly the same as would happen if you were active for the whole year.

Well...260 odd lessons per year, considering Achaea's been around for 7, is practically bog all, especially considering they gave out like 450 for EVERY BETA player.

Yeah, I don't see how it could be abused. You sit inactive for a real life year, you get enough lessons to get a skill up to, what, master? Not a great trade off, but still a nice little boost to those who play and stay active.

Simple solution to anti-abuse. If you are inactive, you don't get lessons for all the years you are inactive.

So someone logs in once every IG year to get the lessons.

Still easy to abuse.

Yeah, but come on, it's 5 lessons. That's about 3 hours of ratting with human standard nature cursing to get the SINGLE credit. It seems rather petty to "abuse" that. (And yes, I am aware I am arguing with my original post, I was too hasty. )

You don't get it; it wouldn't be worth abusing.

I just thought of it because I am poor but they do have to make money so maybe I am being selfish!

If someone wants to not play for a year and get 260 lessons, fine. Whatever. Ill get the same 260 lessons, but Ill ALSO have a whole year of playing! I definately get the better end of that deal. Muahaha.

Oh yea. It would also make birthdays a little more exciting. Instead of 'Oh boy, Im another year older' you can say 'Oh boy, Im another year older. And I got 5 lessons! Im so happy!' Or something to that extent.

And you can gamble all your lessons away! Woohoo!

Well, some people would, anyway.

Yeah, I hope they get BIRTHDAYS working soon. I know I've bugged it, but it doesn't work. Sad.

At 5 lessons per year, over 1 RL year, they would have approximately 100 lessons. It would take 17 RL years to trans a skill (I don't know about you guys, but I certainly don't see myself mudding in 17 years time)

Why the heck did I think it was 260? It was because I was counting weeks, not IC years, that's why. Stupid Shiri! >_<

Its 152.083334 lessons a real life year.

You for got to add Captain to the end, Silvanus. (Mr. Spock reference).
