Shrug city. The only reason there -aren't- credit rewards for PK conquests is because none of our PKers have ever asked for them. I'm okay with changing that or keeping it the same; doesn't make much difference to me.
Being that someone who is serious about PK will already be purchasing credits and not knowing what to do with them, I guess that's part of it. Beyond that, I guess it might interest people that are not as serious a bit more... but eh... 1 credit won't change the fact that they're missing skills/artifacts/etc. Not by a large margin. That said, you can't go overboard with your credit rewards for PK either... although I do feel we've gone overboard with our credit rewards for library stuff.
You're right, you're not targetting the serious PKers with a 1 credit reward for participating. They'll participate either way. You're targetting the ones that wouldn't otherwise participate. One credit won't make a huge difference, but one credit turns into two, and then four etc. And as you accumulate these credits, your comfort with combat grows, you become more aware of things going on, maybe add some highlights so you catch a certain attack. And suddenly you're like @Neos and bragging about anytime you escape someone.
Not that I disagree with you, but I think it is also a bit more than just this. There's an opportunity cost to domothing. The few credits here and there offsets the cost of consumables and the almost nonexistent gold. It also, to me at least, makes far more sense for the active characters to get the rewards then to hold an org credit sale and see someone wake up for that and pick up 25-60 credits or so and then go back to sleep.
Holy hell, this community likes to draw OOC and IC lines like a 4-year-old with crayons.
Racehats are suddenly IC and everyone knows you're hiding your race...IC? Are you shitting me right now guys?
Racehats have always been IC and if someone discovers you wearing one, it is valid to assume you're hiding your race. There are no OOC artifacts. Racehats are officially an illusion. If you want no one to question your race, hide your hat or buy a cameo/reincarnate and do it legit.
I'd just cough up the 50cr to customize the hat. Boom, racehat perks and the illusion's maintained.

This is actually my main reason for setting up a lot of the rewards in Gaudiguch right now. I want to encourage people to keep doing things, and I want to encourage people who wouldn't do things to do them when they can. Admittedly, the latter half has not worked so much, but between the rewards and the raffle, I will still honestly say I prefer it over the whole credit sale system just because the credits are going to those who help the city, be it in combat, writing plays or books (not that this actually happens), adding power, and so on rather than to people who hear about the credit sale down the grapevine on Skype or just sit in their manses and leave for five minutes to buy them.
I actually don't want to see Racehats go the way of the dodo. I rather like this dimension of Lusternia.
I do agree statpacks need to impact the abilities/attributes/properties of the character and racehats should just show the illusion of race.
Being all that as it may, racehats are indeed an IC-experience, so no, no were are not shitting you, @Maligorn.

Apparently the only difference between being Glomdoring's biggest bitch and being celebrated as the return of a legendary Glom defender is 9 months of dormancy. I've started to wonder if I have been logging onto the wrong character
You're the hero they need, not the one they deserve.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

The difference is you're also acting a lot differently.
Was going to say, with what I've seen in various channels, you've mellowed in your interactions with people on your side. I mean, not even a snide comment to /for /at Tarkenton for anything. Did pot get made legal where you live?

Just wait until she and Xenthos talk politics on Court, you'll see the snide come to the fore.

Most of that is because I've been playing on my phone and it's really hard to be a snarky bitch with your thumbs. (Pot is also now legal in DC)
I am just happy to have @Celina and @Astraea back. I cannot rave enough.
