Geb, your statement is the epitome of ignorance.

I've dropped over $1000 USD on Lusternia. But according to you, I do not support Lusternia.

According to me, many who call those who purchase credits names like arti-whores do not support the game. If you read my post, did it said people not Ixion in the body of the post. So learn that just because the first sentence is directed towards one particular person, does not mean the next paragraph is.

It is also still insulting to call people anytype of whore, but if it is not you it is all fine and dandy.

artiwhore is the established word for people who buy lots of credits. *shrug*

I'd say the same thing if Narsrim said it, and you replied to Narsrim that way.

Ixion, is himself an artiwhore.
edit: I'm still looking for evidence of said biases.  oh well.

I don't even know zaltan in game or out of game... but I'm fairly sure he isn't magangoran.

If I called myself a Nigger, would that still not be using an insulting word? Just because I call myself something negative, does not mean that it is not negative.

its a strange term but one widely used around IRE. Questwhore, artiwhore, shieldwhore. Its the term people use when they wish they could do it themselves. Strange use of language yes, insulting, I'm not so sure.

Its like saying calling someone a Democrat is an insult. Its an insult if you are replublican, but a compliment if you are a democrat.

The way your post was structured made it seem like you were adressing ixion, I applogize.

Edit: Deleted the original statement- Enough is enough. Ixion should be hunting astral.

Ixion, It is the artie-whores that make it possible for you to have a Lusternia to play.

Exactly, they're not artie-whore, they're artie-enablers

I would love to see an artifact auction here. So far I enjoyed those in Imperian, even though I never bought anything there but each time it was a lot of fun.
I would like to know how the Divine think about it.

It would be nice if trader bob decided to auction off a few artifacts,
but i'd want them to be artifacts unique to Lusternia.

If they were offering only existing or 'fun' artifacts, sure. But artie auctions tend to just make those who are already Gods even more Godly.

They're a good idea, as long as you have a buttload of credits.

Angelic Medallion and the Demonic Sigil: These items will give you the
appearance of an angel/demon. More importantly they will randomly raise
a single stat from 1 to 3 points. The stat type and amount will randomly
change every Imperian month.

I want. So bad.

And I want that mobile store.

I believe we should sell cellphone artifacts! When used, it gives you +1 eq recovery - however, it gives you a 80% of going the wrong direction. Hah.
Richter2005-08-08 20:44:46
Cellphones would actually work like this:
Your tells will now work 100% of the time in a city, 50% of the time in a commune, and 0-25% of the time in the middle of nowhere. You will also be charged a rate of 10gp a minute during your conversations. The more expensive articellphones would be able to let you make sketches (provided you have sketch sheets) and send them to your friends, who must also own articellphones, and only if they're the same type. These artifacts have a decay rate of two years, and a real usefulness of one, before a cooler one comes out.

It's irrelevant. My mother buys the phone AND the plan, and pays for the next 4 years.

As well, I have MobiTV and like, 400 or so texts a month, along with 1,000 minutes.

Did I mention my mommy bought me the V3 MotoRazor? biggrin.gif First black one in the county! Yup yup yup. I'm so spoiled. :3

EDIT: Wow, how easily I get distracted. The decay rate is okay, but the usefulness is overpowered, nerf down to 1 month, alright?
Raezon2005-08-13 01:11:39
400 texts? I have 2000 and went over by 465 last month so I had to upgrade to unlimited... doh.gif
Unknown2005-08-13 01:19:01
Jesus, I can't even imagine having to send one text message.
