  • FYI, there will never be artifact rentals, sorry.
  • Just as an aside, I believe I said that I would prefer not to get rid of items without something new available as a replacement. Removing and refunding items are absolutely a last resort.

    To further complicate matters, upgrades to aether…
  • BTW, any of the numbers for any of the generation ideas can be adjusted. They're just there to get something down!
  • Maybe 10k grains/units/dust per goop? Would that be more reasonable?
  • (Quote) Transfer tax may be controversial (at least in discussions in the Havens). Not sure how we'd work it in the end, if at all.

    "Units" seem a little OOC or at least unsexy. Maybe essence grains? Other ideas?
  • Restarting convo on a new thread.
  • Regarding essence dust, I'm thinking it would take gold to transfer dust from one player to another. Let's say it costs 10 gold to transfer 1 dust to another player. Thus, 100 dust would cost 1000 gold to transfer. Of course, you could charge the tr…
  • We're not going to remove gold from people or remove throttle (though I may loosen it). Don't really think either discussions on those lines will be productive.

    Would be interested in constructive feedback on essence dust, especially idea…
  • I'm just thinking out loud here and riffing on some other ideas being thrown about. What if wheel spins, gifts, curios, etc. no longer give out gold or commodities or potions. Rather, they give out varying degrees of essence dust. Essence dust can b…
  • The inspiration of aetherships was actually Gomtuu in Star Trek Next Gen episode Tin Man!
  • Welcome Midkemians! You should still be able to get some free credits if you TWEET [something nice about Lusternia] which will go to our twitter feed (https://twitter.com/Lusternia). You ca…
  • (Quote) Sure! Synkarin is officially in charge of the Gold Report!
  • Again, alternate ideas are welcome for genies or mines or whatever else you can think of! Rather than just defaulting to "get rid of them", it could be a productive exercise to think out of the box to keep them but modify how they work. For example,…
  • (Quote) Though only time I've refunded is when there's something else of equal value to replace them (i.e., like old weapon artifacts were refunded but you could get new weapon artifacts). Anyway, it is the last thing I would want to do.
  • I can't really justify removing items people bought for credits (or dingbats) but certainly open to ideas for alternative adjustments!

    Also open to general ideas for gold sinks!
  • For the goody bags, if that's what we still are talking about, I take full responsibility. I wanted to get the goody bags out and didn't check with anyone (and probably should have) so the fault is entirely mine. Also, because we are more of a mom &…
  • If cities were to buy them, we'd charge 3M gold.
  • Okay, I hear you guys concerning aethersuits. I'm wondering--and I'm not sure if we can or will do this, but I just wanted the float the idea--what if Tink sold gears that acted like runes (i.e., invisible when you put them on armour) that mimicked …
  • Just want to say that I think the gnome couture we offered are really excellent, and absolutely fit thematically into the gnomosphere. In fact, I demanded that all outfits be steampunk inspired which I think makes most sense for the gnomes. Anyway, …
  • Per the latest announce, if you get a crate for the current promotion, I'll exchange them for 50 dingbats (if you want).
  • I'll ask Iosai to answer to answer some of the technical questions here. As far as cost, every time I ask people the exchange rate of dingbats:credits, I'm told 1:1! Also, the promotion this month is mostly for dingbats so there's a way to get more.…
  • Let me know what you think of the suits!
  • Lets switch it up ... how about some whimsical artifact ideas?
  • (Quote) FYI, that's what dwellers are for, can set them up as shopkeepers and have them set up in different locations. See HELP DWELLER.
  • Just a note that we want to release more artifacts. Keep the ideas coming!
  • Just a head's up that we'll be adding more artifacts this month so keep the ideas coming!
  • At Gay Pride in San Francisco, I ran into a furrikin!  (Yes, this is in front of the Bay Area Furries booth.)

  • BUMP!

    Looking for artie ideas. Feel free to go back through this thread and re-post your favorite ideas!

  • Here's a little bit more on Empathy and Aura Warping:

    Empathy

    • Empathy: The purpose of empathy is to both punish healers who use their healing abilities selfishly (i.e., only curin…
  • We just released packs of joy! Check out Announce 2606. Note there is no RNG, you get a little of everything!
