  • I cannot agree more with this thread!

    I've been travelling through some of the countries in southern Africa for the last few weeks (which are all so beautiful!), and while I've been really lucky in being able to find vegan food that isn't…

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to say it was a bad example - it's a good analogy!

    It just made sense to me to highlight the difference between people buying your product (and therefore making the company money), a…
  • (Quote) This example works better if the 'product' is actually purchased in rewards points, not real dollars, which then allows for a devious refund scheme where few customers are able to multiply their rewards points so much that they can bu…
  • I understand that there's probably nothing that can be done now, and maybe it wasn't even something that the admin had much control over at the time, but I really wish the whole promotion had been handled differently after it was clear there …
  • Aha, thanks!
  • @Ayisdra - Thanks, but how do i tell which pieces are czigany curios for example, and which are others?
  • Is there a reference somewhere which lists the actual powers and benefits of all the curios?

    I'm not really interested in the ones that are purely aesthetic, but I don't really know how to identify those from the in-game curio verbs. The …
  • So, does anyone know if is it worth buying credits for a single crate with the new changes? Do you get at least that $70 worth of value out of it?

    It's changing so often I can't tell anymore.
  • Probably not so simple, but could we see extra information on BODYSCAN for other scaled/weighted things like:
    • prestige, 
    • warmth, 
    • rooting, 
    • illusion detection, and 
    • movement speed? 
    For example (…

    Ah, thanks. I'm going to sit out the rest of this month's promotion, and wait for the next one, I think. Feel pretty disappointed with what I actually bought (at what ended up being twice the price of last month…
  • Is there currently any way to gain wondercrystals, other than trading with other players?
  • (Quote) What do you mean they have been nerfed again?
  • (Quote) Nah, I can't blame other players for taking advantage of a good deal.

    It's just incredibly frustrating to be pitted against each other in a battle for limited items, especially when you're paying real money for the …
  • So... day four after buying credits, and...
    <div>-buy crate from jeremiah</div><br><div>That item is temporarily sold out. Please come back later!<…            
  • I know it's still a very generous promotion, and I do want to give kudos to whoever came up with the idea of kittens (and puppies I guess), but this seems pretty frustrating.

    I know making a purchase in real money comes with a disclaimer …
  • Can we just set a RL monthly limit on the number of crates per player that can be bought with bound credits? Then everyone gets a chance to take advantage of the promotion as is, and those lucky ones who got in early aren't penalised, they just used…
  • (Quote) Isn't it easy to solve that just by making a successful disrupt of your dreamweaving summon also refill a certain number of motes? Such as three-quarters of the commit cost, or even the whole amount?

    Then it is a counter th…
  • (Quote) I've never used them in combat, so I'll defer to anyone who wants to correct these guesses, but I understand a psionic can give up active use of one of their three mental balances in exchange for an ongoing 'locked' effect. 

  • I just wanted to say I'm finding both of these AMA threads insanely fascinating, and it's a real delight to find out more about the people behind all of these well-crafted and interesting characters - both divine and mortal! Thank you so much to all…
  • Not sure if this is too much, but:

  • (Quote) Just in case this helps (and because I really want one of these!), here are some proposed goop skins for the artifact:

    a runic golden algiometer
    Runic inscriptions glinting in the light, a golden al…
  • (Quote) Well, those two kind of do replicate the existing ones but with a bit more specifics - dapplelight is just a reskin of canopy, you could argue. (Which I would much rather have as a demigod racial, anyway!)

    Hmm, as for other…
  • (Quote)
    Nah, I was thinking along the lines that Elfen drew out the Fae, so they probably have that kind of weirdness that means they see/hear things others don't. Faelings are part-fae already... So they don't really need the sam…
  • Generally, I like promotions that offer the chance to acquire permanent things - one-time consumables aren't generally incentives that I go for (unless that consumable has a chance of converting to something permanent). For example, I like the idea …
  • How about...

  • I don't know that these are quite right, but they could work with a bit of tweaking:

  • This 'fortress meta' thing comes up a lot, but I'm not sure I quite understand the core issue. Is it that large groups of players stack too well, so going into a room with lots of opponents and their prepared attacks/effects isn't fun?
