Karma Changes

Written by: Estarra, the Eternal

Addressed to: Everyone


-Gaining karma has been slightly adjusted again. Some karma gained will
only be a fraction of a percent. IF YOU RECEIVE THE MESSAGE YOU GAIN
KARMA BUT DON'T SEE IT RISE, THAT IS NOT A BUG -- YOU ARE RECEIVING A
FRACTION OF A PERCENT.

-Karmic blessings now have an upkeep of 5 karma for every online hour.
This means it may be more difficult to maintain more than one or two
blessings at a time.

-There is no longer any monthly karma gain.

-Karma is gained by shrine offerings. (This is a small amount of karma,
but it could add up if you offer a lot.)

-Karma is gained if you kill an enemy of your city or commune on your
city or commune's territory. This is a gain of 15% for Champions, 10%
for protectors and 5% for everyone else. SPECIAL FOR CELESTINE AND
NIHILISTS: Members of Celestines will gain this karmic reward for
killing enemies of the Holy Supernals on Celestia. Likewise, Nihilists
will gain this karmic reward for killing enemies of the Demon Lords on
Nil.

-Selling rats or weevils gains a small amount of karma.

One more update (not related to karma) is that the cost to distort
controlled villages has been reduced to 200 power. Again, this is only
available to Guild Security's discretionary power as set by the Power
Minister.
