I'd like to suggest a demigod version of benevolence (that ascendants get) that can share essence with less efficiency to other demigods. And perhaps you can offer it up to an Elder God at a 1% conversion rate as an Avatar. Thoughts?

I like the idea of giving demigods something to do with the piles of essence they can pointlessly amass, but I dunno if giving it away is the most interesting way to go.

DEMIGOD SHOP!!!

Oh God, please no... no... the last thing we need is a place for already powerful people to buy more powerful stuff that ONLY powerful people can get... my eyes are twitching just thinking about it.

But what if it were for things like multiple shout messages - they could buy a new one for a certain amount of essence and then switch between them as the mood struck. And zaps. And those teleporting messages (or whatever they are) when they go to the havens. Maybe other stuff. Like there could be a special ambiance message they can buy for a big ol hunk of essence that fires every five minutes or something. That sorta stuff. No PK/Bashing/Debating at all... just cool RP flavor stuff.

That was the idea everytime I heard it brought up.

Yes plz.

Yeah the demigod shop would be for RP stuff like customization. Perhaps a concubine or nine.

P.S. the essence transfer ratio of benevolence could use improving instead of 2:1

Where's the pimp emote when you need it . Or manwhore.

It's create a nice market. I'm lazy. I already buy essence from Shuyin. I demand a break on the monopoly!

Yes please. (To either demi benevolence or demi-shop. Either is good!)

I'm on your side now. Gimme gimme?

edit: RP options for demigods would be awesome. Though, I think custom entrance/exit has already been veto'd by the admin. Maybe damage types for zaps, shout options depending on your mood, ambiance messages would be cool....but you can set a custom emote on a timer.

I think you'd have to be one of those concubines he mentioned.

Deal.

Custom emote on a timer wouldn't be near as cool as an ambiance message! For one, everyone would know it was an emote! I don't think the different damage types would fit... cause that's a fighting thing and the point is for the options to be flavor only. But different zap descriptions would be nifty.

Yes to demigod shop please!

With a Demigod shop for emotes, zaps, and other aesthetic, you can maintain the appeal... while lowering some of those stats!

That was already done once, doubt it will happen again.

Of course not. That would be too easy, too mechanically sound. Humans are inapt to thrive in such environments of sterile perfection- whining would ensue to counter-balance! (I'm just being sassy)

S-still... would it really be so awful if your lv. 100 character has the same stats as the other races? :zip:

Which other races would that be exactly? Because not all races are created equal. It's not like each race has the exact same stats, and becoming a demigod is a 'race change' in and of itself. As is becoming a titan or becoming a Vernal Ascendant.
