out of curiousity, if someone were to create the Deepnight manse right now, with current credit prices, how many credits would it cost to make it, along with everything you've attached to it?

Actually, yes. That's the other, less advertised deal. It takes more time, but it doesn't cost me the 10k.



I'm not going to total it up, for my own sanity, and I ask that you don't bother to post it here, if you do total it up. But here's the stats:

105 rooms, 1 of which is a stockroom from a shop, 1 is the fulcrux
I have 1 aether garden in the tradehall
There an endurance gem, willpower gem, stasis gem, astrolabe, and aether stake in the plaza
There's a stasis gem in the tavern

I'm not sure I want to know...

. . . It's sad, Richter's manse could pay my rent for a few months if converted to dollars and cents.

if we assume that you used only credits to make your manse, with no one else's help, and that you had the current average sale price of credits for all of your sales...um....well...you do NOT want to know how many credits that is, much less how much money in rl, assuming you bought them for 29 cents/credit

I mean, seriously, it's a rediculous number...

edit: and my undisclosed total does not include doors and the various other things you probably have in your manse...

1800 creddies for the aethermanse artifacts.
Rooms worth 15.800.000 gold. That's 3950 credits at 4000 per, excluding doors and exits.

A total of: 5750 credits. By the bigcredits helpfile, that's 27 cent a credit.

Making it a total of:

Edit: IT BURNS US. -Richter

And to think, now that I have rent, even if I pay that, and all my other bills, I still have a few hundred dollars a month to play with. *snuggle self* Though, I think that HD TV is coming before any credits, angelstone, gil, etc, for the rest of the year.

wow... 23,000,000 gold to build Deepnight.

Arenas cost 12 mil gold (I think).

So yesterday, I got about 70K in 8 hours of game playing, doing nothing but trying to make as much gold as possible and level 80... so lets see.

23,000,000 gold

70,000gold/per8hours = 8750 gold per hour.

23,000,000/8750 = 2,628.571 hours.

Doing 8 hours a day that equals.. 328 days of bashing to build your own aethercity... not bad.


Now here is the real question... would you work 328 days to make $1500?

edit nevermind, gained a zero somewhere...

No, I make a bit more than that a month, so, considering I need to pay bills, we'll say I could make that in two months, if I tried not to eat out every meal (which unfortunately tends to happen if I don't plan meals well).

On a side note, I asked Estarra once if I could have an arena, and the answer was no.

Also note, I didn't buy all this at once. That'd really hurt my bank account.

Yes that was my point.

The alterantive method to building such a thing without buying credits is just insane.. but possible!

you got to remember, he has had some people pay for rooms if I'm not mistaken, among other things that may have helped pay for his manse

but I know what he forgot to include, clans...

Yes, the Merchant's Guild is part of the city, and so are the subsidiaries. That's seven cartels.

And we have something like 10-15 private rooms right now.

you make me feel so poor, Richter
Luciden doesn't even have 2k to her name right now, and I have 0$ to my name. (Of course I'm living with my parents, but still...) I wish softball season would start so I could start earning money again.

And... you make me actually contemplate about buying stuff for Lusternia with my money... is it worth it? and.. how much would it cost?

Well, for about a year, year and a half, I had a job that paid about $12.00 an hour, and I didn't have to pay rent (though, that changes tomorrow when I move out). So, I'm able to buy all kinds of nice things that irritate my parents, thankfully, they don't even know what credits are.

As for "is buying stuff in Lusternia worth it", that's up to you to decide. Do I love my artifacts/manse? Yep, because it won't go away on me, like herbs, gold, etc. I can come back in a few years, and it'll all still be there.

heh, when softball starts up again, I'll be paid $20/hr. without rent or taxes sooo.... I guess I might buy a few credits... my parents don't know what credits are either, so... this outta be interesting, especially since they're trying to get me away from lusternia. *cackle* nevah!


*ahem*

I mean.. I believe I may buy a few credits... how does one go about doing so?

#TRIGGER {Richter has offered to become your mentor} {agree}
#TRIGGER {Your account has been credited with %1 credits} {transfer %1 credits to richter for 0 gold}

Edit: Oh, how to get them. www.lusternia.com/credits.php, I think. Did that from memory... Anyway, it's on the site, get a debit/credit card, there's also a few other options there. Then buy it for a specific character, and you'll get your credits in a few minutes usually.

ooooooo, thanks

*searches for parent's credit card* *cackle* I'll just get.. 20 credits


psh.. no, I can't I would die

I've been getting room requests for a bit, and haven't been able to accomodate all of them. Also, I think I have some perms to change, normal city upkeep stuff.

As some of you know, I don't have internet at my apartment, but I'll try to log on at the library tonight. It's 2:15pm pst right now, and I can log on about 6:00pm if all goes well.

As usual, one can always leave gold with Nocturne, as he'll hold onto it and only I can take it (Nocturne is always in the fulcrux, the grand plaza). The cost is 140k. Message me the room description and title, you cannot have perms until you provided two flamed key sigils (this policy has reduced people getting locked in rooms by about 95%).

So, even if I'm not around, I can still make rooms if you provide the info and gold. Unfortunately, I have a fair amount of work to do, I think. Something like five new rooms for citizens, updating the map, adding more room descriptions, etc, etc. You can always reach me by PM here for questions, keep the IC stuff mostly for messages though (asking me how much rooms are here, etc, is fine with me *shrug).
