  • Suklub probably missed @Silvanus more than most! 
  • It sounds like you're being forced away from your baby and that's very upsetting to hear. Of all the IRE games only Lusternia ever inspired me with its lore and story - you created a wonder and I forever judge every other game against it. For me mec…
  • The few times I tried I didn't make it in time and so I gave it up as pointless, and I have most of the bixes for quick travel and all the trades under my belt. 
  • Microtransactions are king. Whatever you come up with, give options for starting at $5 a pop and I guarantee I would be so keen to buy one...then ok just one more....ok a few more, ok last one....spread out over the month, but I will absolutely r…
  • I thought they said the person retired? So how could they speak up? Unless they actually did roll an alt, then they'd have to out themselves....

    Hrm.
  • There's definitely a thing called 'prominent' enemies who have to work harder to prove themselves. But basically, both Lothringen and I screwed over Mag by leaving as VA, and both were able to earn our way back. Nothing is impossible, some people ju…
  • (Quote) I bought mine to stop certain people trying to jump me every time I left my org, because I was an easy kill (Nataely is one name that first comes to mind). I have no issue with my name being on a list without my location being reveale…
  • I like Estarra's transfer idea! The only thing I wonder about is custom items/dwellers and even things made permanent through runes (weapons/instruments/jewellery/clothing). Mostly because those items might not fit the new character, and it defeats …

    People definitely have biases towards players and let it affect IC relations. I've been guilty of it at times in the past though I always tried to uphold my RP to be the same no matter who the player is, even if ME the player di…
  • Alliances in general overlook the things they hate about each other. Glom and Celest have never made sense to me RP wise, for example. Gaudi came up with the fae-twisting thing too, right? It's not pro-taint and anti-taint. It's this group of people…
  • Being friends with a person doesn't miraculously make them a good person. Doesn't mean you have to dislike a person, but you can certainly recognise your friend's behaviour as being crappy.

    Anyway this is all hypothetical - we don't even …
  • I imagine admin interference would only come in the case of some serious unfairness. Not on justified refusal.
  • I would be pretty furious if I lost the access to all my trades, not to mention all the trade arties I own, second/third trade....

    I think people who undercut and don't care about making a profit hurt the system more than those with multi…
  • Maybe a time for viable rogues without a city will become possible at last? I imagine some people would be into that.
  • tl;dr @Estarra whatever the single commodity you choose, it will become very scarce and the price will go through the roof. Removing the need for a comm (ideal) o…
  • If it HAS to be goop items requiring a breakdown, why make it one comm? Why not make ANY of the trade-fail comms usable for it? Then there's no pressure on one item to be stupidly overpriced, and finds a use for a bunch of things that don't have a h…
  • I love Lavinya oh so much. But if I was given the opportunity to start fresh and have all the shiny things, with the world exploding and given her family/friends are largely gone anyway - yeah I'd be down to restart with no one knowing who I am.
  • I don't pay attention to the main discord very often, I don't feel like I'm missing out. Getting yourself banned from the forums or the discord is no one's fault but your own.

    I'm kinda down with Malarious here. If you're going to conside…
  • Maybe the secrets skill could be buffed to not only reveal a secret exit, but a secret location/item as well?
  • I understand the sentiment entirely and I wish you every joy and happiness.  <3
  • I feel like Xenthos feels the disagree button is negative and abusive. HE uses it in this manner - like as retaliation after disagreeing with one of his posts.

    I think we're all aware of your feelings on the matter Xenthos, but there seem…
  • I don't like these buttons. I mean I do, not in place of the others. They don't express my sentiments. I am not a fan!
  • Weep my luck clearly sucks. I think my last one was  back when dingbats were even still an option. RIP.
  • Two cornucopias and I have yet to see a single crystal since the change to coins. Has anyone actually pulled a crystal from theirs in the last how many IG years?
  • (Quote) I would love this. I've toyed in the past with the idea of starting again but the thought of losing all the shiny things I've accumulated over 9 RL years is enough to nip the thought in the bud.
  • (Quote) Magnagora's decorum used to, at least, have this included (haven't looked in a while) and I loved it. Still do. It's become another example of mechanics > rp
  • Baby-talk is not being cutesy, it's being juvenile. Especially on a public aether.
  • (Quote) Yes yes a thousand times YES.
  • Putting them on bubbles makes it that much harder for anyone who doesn't own bubblixes, or isn't swimming in goop/has genies for buttons to burn. 

    One person only at a time means the fastest wins and will likely mean rich getting richer (…
