Just because the Astral plane gets you tons of gold doesn't mean it is good for the economy. Also, Celest players can get gold from merians/gorgogs as easy as anyone else, so I don't know what you're smoking.

Look at it this way: If everyone in the U.S. (Or whatever country you're in) were sent a million dollars by the government one day, would that improve the economy?

The thing with Astral was simple: time = gold. If you invested the time, you could make gold. If you did not invest the time, you did not make gold. That's not the same as everyone making lots of gold.

Astral was the best thing in here.

And those people that cant hunt there anymore sitting in gorgogs caves and gray moors. Thanks to this people on level 50-70 and without Conglutinate lose their hunting grounds.

And Thorgal you want to see Celestines with radience in catacumbs.
You know too well how fast they would die there.

And Celest have no interests in fighting for catacumbs. Why for? To allow me and Aesyra and maybe w or 3 more people to hunt there?
We would use great afford to kick you out from there and then only me and Aesyra would have any benefit from there. Maybe Kurama, Silimaur, Shamarah and Vesar and Morik. But Kurama and Silimaur dont have conglutinate so it would still be painful for them if they die there. Rest of Celestines will be dieing like flies there.

And if Magnagora would try to claim other places where people hunt they will be upset and will be willing to fight for them. Unlike for catacumbs.

I'm with Shadow,

The problem with the Catacombs is as much that it can be easily claimed than it is who has claim. If it was moved to its own plane (where you still conglutinate) like the Tosha Monastery has its own plane, it would be a very very different situation.

Also, demesnes shouldn't be able to be melded across multiple planes.

People are melding across multiple planes and not bugging it immediately and ceasing to do so? I've never heard anything in my life that more obviously sounded like a bug. O_o

Well, the demesne effects won't work if he's in another location...and while I find it mildly surprising myself, I can't say that it's TOO bad.

Wrong. Most effects do not work, but some do like dust storm.

I know...that's why I said not too bad and not not a threat at all.

Does demesne summon work across areas? That could be dangerous.

Why would these comm people want these "tainted hearts?"

Heh, well, you can make up any reason.

One because his estate has been plagued by tainted beasts, and he wants vengeance.

One because he can use them to conduct dark rituals and magics.

One because she likes the flavour they add to her cooking.

etc.
