It's been suggested and idea'd a few times to have it either as seperate achievements, or have it count both influencing and bashing. Hopefully they'll include it eventually.

Ideas!

- Sort artifact list into categories like rifts.

Ala

That sort of thing

What would be sort of cool, is that if top tier achievements give a non-experience or credit reward, but a unique artifact instead. For example, if you win 1000 assassin vengeance games, you'd get a little assassin doll that you can so that it looks around and creeps around the room with a knife. If you peer at it again, it would cry out, it's not me and point at someone else in the room. Or a populace doll will look around and cry out 'Lynch him'.

Non mechanical but tangible benefits to achievements?

Sounds fair.

Having a configurable colour for weather in the room description would be awesome.

The weather changes colour depending on what kind of weather it is though.

Ooooh, guess it does. I guess I forgot since 90% of the time it seems to be the same colour as the verbose room description. Ignore me.

Achievement idea:

Time for some fresh air - Have all 9 karmic blessings active simultaneously

Reward: Credits/Dingbats?

How about one for crafting?
Or how far you've walked?

and separate from that: Interest in banks please?

Crafting achievements would be bad, only some trades would benefit!

We already have bad gold overflow problems, let's not add interest to banks!

well, banks is something that could use simple ideas for I think.

Wait, did you mean adding interest to banks in the sense of adding an appreciation to gold that's sitting in a bank account, or doing something to them to make them interesting?
If it's the first, that's a bad idea. If it's the second, I'm not sure how to do it except for adding in the first, which is a bad idea.

well, lets see.

Banks can be used for personal and organizational use.
You can deposit, withdraw for a 2% fee. Credits can only be deposited for organizations (city/guild) - no clans. Gold can be for clans, families, cities, guilds
You can CLAN AUTOPAY DUES to have any fees taken from your bank and paid directly. Don't know if this takes the 2% fee.

---
As for payments, currently stables gold goes to your personal bank account. You cannot tie that gold to a clan or guild or organization. That would be something good to have.

Another idea would be a way to move the gold in all the different banks to one bank account.

If there can be a way to transfer gold from your bank account to another bank account for a 1% fee, that would be cool.

now for commands. BANKACCOUNTS shows all of your personal bank accounts. Now if there was an option like BANKACCOUNTS FULL to show your personal bank accounts as well as clans you own or have the privilege to see the bank account for..

A way to deposit dingbats in bank accounts. Also, if we can deposit credits to clans, that would help.

Or for gamblers, if the money you win a portion goes to your bank account.

or an artifact to access your bank account wherever you are.

All of these things are nice, but don't solve the problem: Why would you ever ever put your gold in the bank in the first place? It just means that you can't get to it when you want it, and that you're losing some every time you do want to use it. The only thing that would change would be if stables took money from the bank, but you can pay stables so far ahead that it only really would come into play for people who stop playing their characters for long stretches of time.

For instance, the gambler thing. Why would I want some of my money to vanish away into an account that deducts a percentage every time I use it? If it's a choice between having 100% of my money right now, in my hands and having (let's say) 75% of it right now, the other 25% in a bank account that will deduct out a 2% withdrawal fee every time I use it, why would I EVER want to have my gold go to the bank?

EDIT: Afaict, bankaccounts are only really used for clan accounts, which is a very very niche market for any given change, that won't really interest or have an effect on the vast majority of the playerbase. I'd much rather the admins spent their time working on stuff that will have a bigger impact to more people, like the incoming special report changes, or general ministry fixes or something.

Well, back when you used to die and have your gold drop, banks was pretty useful. Or putting your gold into a permanent letter to prevent theft. Theft can still happen nowdays, so that's one use of banks.

Another things is the autopaying dues. Or for organizations.

A bank account would then be a way of leaving your gold legacy to the next generation, and the generation after that if you feel like it. Or if you are really just too paranoid in carrying all of your gold at once.

As for the gold for the gambling. The winning money you get goes into your bank account, as an option, as a way to save money. Save not in the sense of save it for a larger goal, but save it from your addictions.

Only if bank fees were waived, otherwise, it's pointless to use an account because you have to calculate every time you want to withdraw to get the exact amount you need.

Pretty much. Any time I think "Huh, I could put my gold in the bank" (not very often), I remember the withdrawal fees and change my mind. It really doesn't come up often that I'd have any reason to put gold in the bank!


EDIT: And you do realize that putting gold into a non-personal bank account makes that gold far far more likely to be stolen than if you just put it in your pack. Or just held onto it in your inventory.

Like I said earlier in this thread.

Stable Pay X From Bank.

yeah, but the way I'm thinking about it is that at one point or another, I will end up leaving the game. But for my projects and everything, when I find someone who wants to continue what I'm doing blah blah blah, a way to pool credits/dingbats/gold for the manse expansions would be great.
