Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow
As an immigrant from Achaea, I can't express how utterly impressed I am with the player base here. I only created this char yesterday, and so many of you have reached out to interact with me and offer help. It's like stepping out from a dark room, into blinding daylight. The difference in acceptance and welcoming is astounding. Most interactions I've had thus far haven't even been initiated by me.
In saying that, I'm basically looking for an Ire that definitely offers the above, expanded tradeskills and commerce availability, accessible group combat, and an awesome admin team that stays in touch with the players.
Well done so far!

Raves for the Mag players and their support! It's been a wild 5 weeks learning this game from nothing and getting Demi in the process.
There is such an great cast of personalities in the city and the alliance.

Re: Simple Ideas
Item: Vest Type: Accessories Org: Somewhere Designer: Someone with Skill
Commodities: Shiny Things
Mortal Reviews: Allowed
Layer: UNDERWEAR Bodyparts: chest, gut
So that's an example of what vests look like currently. I think they're on the underwear layer because European vest equals North American undershirt? And while I haven't tried submitting a waistcoat myself I have heard other people haven't had any luck with that. So I'm hoping we can move vests from being layered with underwear to being layered with either accessories or overwear like aprons are.

Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING
The embrace of the waves rocks you, and in their murmur, you hear the Sculptor's voice, "Be not discouraged. Let this too shape you."
Within the comfort of the current, you are swept along, past dazzling vistas of coral palaces lit by glowing jellyfish, of gem-strewn sands and brilliant anemones. Then you see destruction. Spires of pale, long-dead coral. Fish floating belly up.
But you are soon whisked past the sorrowful sights and the voice murmurs again, "Weep for the destruction wrought by those uncaring, but be comforted that there are those, like yourself, who stand against it."
The current sweeps you into a sheltered grotto, your remembered pains leeching away in the warm, comforting waters.

"idk guys, can't we just get participation points first?" - my guessCiaran said:Shoutouts to the three Hallifaxians sitting there with us three Celestians doing a whole round of bombarding in parallel today. Presumably you were also awkwardly wondering when or if someone would open fire.

Re: Project Quest
re: Baloon - will go on the to-do list
re: Mornhai - good idea re: ikons, will consider
re: Deitrii - his quest is what we call a pocket expansion and while areas will always be associated with honours, pockets don't always do. It generally depends on how much work goes into completing a pocket's quest which is hard to gauge due to all the variables involved. The rule of thumb is that it should take +/- an hour, maybe 40min if you know it well. From a brief glance it looks like that one might qualify. It currently rewards xp and gold on completion, and eats your xp if you fail
. The mysterious lantern is simply one of the hiding places for things.
re: Fink & Gnome - we did not add ikons to those on purpose as we felt it might be too distracting and confusing at that point. At the moment, ikons are usually introduced to new players when they start doing their org quests (power, essence, etc) and get enough points. We are considering adding them at the college level though, perhaps when you complete the last quest and graduate with honours.

Re: Project Quest
I love that you are doing this.
Maybe add ikons to the Fink and Gnome quests in Newton? I'm not sure if any of the sets are great fits, but it'd be a good way to introduce them to new people.
Both sides of Mornhai should probably give vernal ikons if they don't already. I can't remember if they do or not.

SSC and You
The ever-in-progress SSC is getting some more attention (from a mortal coder). A couple of things that are going to be addressed are as follows:
- More robust symptom checking (this is really the major issues that players had with blackout).
- Better Aeon curing (including an aeon queue)
- Potentially parrying.
- Various other improvements
The question we want to pose here is what other improvements would you like to see short of defense maintenance (itself a major project). Feel free to comment below.
