Let's have new ways to get silk!

Give GAs the ability to use discretionaries automatically please. I can see who killed the Tide Lords, enemy to both the guild and the Tide Lords, but I can't make use of a discretionary power useful in defending the Water Plane.

You should be able to be made a Security member.

It would be neat if we could read helpfiles on the Iron Realms website like we can read our messages, newsposts, and city/clan logs. Sometimes I'd like to reference a quick thing while I'm not logged on, but more frequently I hate reading anything long in-game because it keeps moving as the mud gives me more input! A petty inconvenience, I know, but still ... I can't be the only one annoyed by this! :-D

Better ways to make greeneries and metals first!

Been able to read the general help files from the lusternia site since forever.

Same thing can also be found in the Help section of the Lusternia website.

Gold should not be cheaper than silk!

Diamonds are cheaper than paper. Oats cost several times as much as filet mignon. Wood is more expensive in forests than cities. I think it'd be easier to adjust our thinking about what constitutes luxury than to try to force Lusternia's economy to conform with our preconceived notions of scarcity. We should all imagine things made of gold and diamonds to be tacky and cheap, and things made of steel and wood to be luxuriant and decadent. (Yet people always write designs as if it were the other way around. And really maybe that's for the best. In a game where everyone gets to be OP and nearly every wish fulfillment fantasy is set in front of us, maybe we should just go with it.)

I also meant clan/city/guild helps, but this is good, too! Didn't know about it before! Thanks!

Put that way, I can agree with your statements.

Consider that in the past, Aluminium used to be more valuable than gold, simply because it was far more difficult to produce than gold. Nowadays Aluminium is easy to produce and the value has dropped significantly.

I must have missed the memo.

Could the old fae please have new summon descriptions? The Snoefaasia and Bluebell ones are great, it would be really awesome to see the older ones updated.

Suggest some! Though try to keep them 1 - 2 lines on a 80ww, or else it'd be all sorts of spammy. ohmy.gif

Been trying but getting distracted by other things that turn up.

Mutated cave-fishers should drop silk spinnerets. They already entangle you with silk. sad.gif

Simple yet really good idea.

News Post revoke. Allow a person to revoke a news post within 5 minutes if they make a mistake. Once the time has past, the news post is permanent. This would prevent all the mistakes and "scribe punishments" that occur.

ETA: This may not be simple depending on the code, but I have a feeling this could be very useful.

PS--I posted THIS in the wrong forum thread!


As an addendum to this, how about that arti that lets you wipe your clan newsboard clean... that 1 misplaced post in my private clan is poking at my perfectionist OCD and standing in the way of my future dreams sad.gif

Yes!

Really, there needs to be plenty more commodity quests around.

Seconded! Although make sure it would cost less than 500k...ish
