New things for UO Store

[FrejaSP]

I think vet rewards lost most of their meaning when anyone was allowed to use them.
See someone on an ethy tiger...Is it a vet of however many years it takes to earn one, or is it someone who paid their first subscription today, bought gold with RL money & bought the tiger ?

The only reward that is account bound is the one that is the most use...The Shard Shield! All the others are really more for looks and (in the past) status. Strange World

A fix for that could be to make the color look different if on a to young account, so the vet on the tiger would look most cool.

Can I please buy some new Underwear, I feel so dirty in this old rags.

Yes, new undies would be a good thing. I must be starting to smell funny. In fact, just yesterday someone asked if I was a goblin.

A token for pre-designed interiors for castles, keeps and Towers. Hear me out on this before you judge.

Many of us have more than one account. Many don't. Yesterday I was able to place a tower next to my keep and castle. As I placed it I was thinking... Crapeth...another house to deco. I really don't want to or have the time to do this right now but I don't want to have another empty house sitting on a shard! There are way too many of these as it is. I was thinking wouldn't it be great if I could just buy a token that would automatically place high end, nicely designed chairs, tables, armors, beds, chests, lighting, etc in strategic locations inside the house. There could be a few different options to pick but it would take care of the basics and I can then add the personal touches.

I think this would be great for:

1. *thinks of a few friends and decides not to name names* those that think placing a couple of crates and a chair is great deco.
2. Those that don't have/ don't want to take the time to deco.
3. Those that would just rather pay the money and buy an elegant easy set-up rather than spend hours crafting/buying/sourcing furniture and try to place it feng shui.

I think the Kings collection of furniture and paintings is a great leap in UO deco. It made me realize that there is interest on UO's part to take it to another level.

Mesanna was in-game yesterday on Siege building a town banner and many people were shooting ideas at her like crazy. It was quite exciting and I thought a lot of good ideas. I suggest that if you have any ideas post em as she mentioned she had a white board where she posted what she thought were good ideas.

 

[BrianFreud]

Isn't that crafting / buying / sourcing part exactly what we should be encouraging to try and rebuild an economy, rather than creating a token that simply does a way for the need for any of that?

 

[Smoot]

There is one thing I really, but realy cannot understand...

As a player of Ultima Online, I have been hearing about the plague of duping and how it hurts the game and destroys its economy and the efforts of players of not duping.

Clearly, if it takes me some 150 kills to get 1 drop of an animated legs of the tinker (but I can make examples with lots of other different items...), which means, depending on how often one can play the game, months of game play time before I can get one, these legs have a value, an extremely high value for me explained by the overly large time spent to get them.

Now, if someone else in the game can dupe them, of course these legs will eventually be worth a dime a dozen, depending on how many will be duped and put up for sale.... but yet, to players getting them through hunting, it will still take them an enormous amount of time to be gotten because of the 150 average kills for a drop...

So, because of duping, eventually it might become pointless to hunt for something in the game, better just get the gold and buy it from dupers.... it gets cheaper and way less time consuming...

Of course, multiply this by all valuable items in the game and because of duping at some point it may become pointless to play the game althougether, since it is better and cheaper to just buy the items cheap from dupers rather than playing the game to get them.......

All this, to say that, as I see it, duping can effectively kill the point of playing the game, IMHO.
So, is my guess, I would imagine that it should be Priority #1 to go after duping and ban accounts duping left and right, and fix any and all possible ways to dupe in the game.
Yet, it has been years and years and years that I keep hearing about duping in UO..... it nevers get stopped for good.

Something so hurtfull for the game never goes away for good.......

To me, this is inexplicable. Are there technical reasons that make it impossible to fix duping once and for all ? I have no clue, and do not have the technical knowledge to understand the difficolties of it, but it seems to me astonishing that in the age of technology in which we live, it might be so hard to fix for good a software problem that allows the duping of items in Ultima Online.

I do not even understand how duping can happen in the first place.... If all items have a unique ID number, how is it possible to dupe, thus to have 2 items with the same ID # ? Doesn't the game engine delete one of the 2, automatically, as soon as it sees 2 items with the same one ID # ??
And if duping makes it possible to "copy" an item with the copy resulting with a different ID # then the original, why on earth does the software allow for this ? Shouldn't the software not make it possible to make "copies" of items with the same ID # ?

Not to mention the fact, that if it is possible to prevent duped items to be put on vendors, this means that somehow the game code CAN detect what items are duped....
Why are they then not deleted outright ??

Anyways, I never understood and will probably never understand why, if cheating, duping included, is so hurtfull to UO, it was not stopped years and years back, for good.....
To me, the fixing of them should have been and is the first, top, main priority to go for, in this game, in any commercial game particularly if online and multiplayer.... Before new content, before expansions, before everything else.
Personally, I think that an online multiplayer computer game should never ever allow cheating in it and should this happen because of problems with the code, the fixes should promptly be released and the cheating stopped right away.

At least that's my opinion of it.

short answer, yes the game is coded in such a way that duping can never be 100 percent eliminated. and yes, its horrible for the game and the discouragement should be a top priority. it only gets adressed when someone really gets greedy or slips up. most times the dupers sell there wares quick and cheap or behind the scenes and no one is the wiser. this goes for script farming too. no point in fighting something hoping for a drop if the market is flooded and you can get it dirt cheap. sad, but we have such a small dev team that they just cant do everything. they do their best to keep the game slugging along, and i think we should be thankful for that.

Maybe they should work like a kind of BoDs, crafters can fill and make to deeds ready to place. I'm not sure they should be sold on UO Store but from carpenter NPC's.
When a crafter buy a empty deed, he can choose between some pre-designed interiors for castles, keeps and towers and maybe some useful in other houses too, maybe kitchen 3x4 south. When the crafter choose the design, he will get a BoD to fill with the needed crafted items and maybe some resource for special deco in the deed.
When done, he can sell it on his vendor. Mouse over the deed will show a pick of the deco.
If someone want a special design, they can buy an empty deed and choose the design to make the BoD and then give the order to a crafter.

That's kind of an interesting idea, need to create x-many stone chairs, x-many tables, x-many plates/forks/spoons, etc. depending on the house design. The Ultra-Large-BOD. Also could/would require pieces from multiple crafter types. Eat up large chunks of ingots, granite, wood. But I would also hope it would involve a decent amount of time to create. I could go on and on with this one but isnt really OT.

Something I would like to see with the online store is items broken out. I don't want to buy a package of 3 special items just to get the 1 I'm interested in. I'm at work so I cant remember the specific item but there was one that I didn't purchase because of that reason.

 

[Lady Michelle]

Can I please buy some new Underwear, I feel so dirty in this old rags.

I would like to see something added to the paper doll where we are able to pick from a variety of under garment styles, and able to dye them.

Off topic: What about taking the house placement tool out of the game and instead players have to collect certain numbers of resources and then crafters to build certain pieces to finally create a deed for housing…It gives the resource gathers something to do, makes the crafters relevant again…thoughts?

 

[FrejaSP]

Why do I feel like screaming NOOOOOO when reading your list?

 

[Longtooths]

Why scream, "NOOOOOO" when yes sounds so much better.....just sayin'

 

[FrejaSP]

Not to me, your ideas really are scary, even when a few may be ok, but that's only my opinion

 

[Longtooths]

Change is often scary.....I am interested in which you feel are scary and why? shoot...

 

[FrejaSP]

I could say, your avatar pic say it all, but think there was more than the neon colors that gave me the feeling of wanting to scream. I really have hard finding something in your list, that make me say, yes give me that. It may be other stuff, that is important to me, like interact and the community.

 

[Longtooths]

So let me get this straight. I take the time to type up a comprehensive list to respond to the OP. You engage by being censorious about my list. I try and engage you and get specifics. You are again contemptuous without specifics. I press you for details on your displeasure. You make a judgmental comment about my avatar, and still add no substantive discussion. All righty then....


Have a great day.....

 

[Promathia]

--House Storage increased to that of Castle

Some decent ideas, some not so decent. Im going to go one by one on this:

1.
House Storage increased to that of Castle /Additional House per Account Token - Never going to happen. More a ccounts= more money for UO, so I don't see them giving us another house or increasing our storage.

2. Multi-Skill Soulstone - Seems redundant considering we already can buy Soulstones (legacy token) and get them as vet rewards.

3. Increase Pet Control Number - BIG NO. Tamers already have plenty of power with Greater Dragons. Imagine letting them have ANOTHER pet on top of that? It has way too many implications in both PvM and PvP.


4. New mounts/Pets - As a mount collector in WoW, I really do think this is a great idea, and one gamers are proven to want. We were originally supposed to get a Seahorse mount for water travel in Ilshenar which never happened, so the idea of a water mount is intriguing.

5. New Housing Deco -
(1) - Dont we already have the crystal/corrupted teleporters for things like this? I get maybe wanting to add runes, but really we have runebooks for that.
(2) - Bad idea. It takes even more money from UO, and it basically negates the shard shields which are already in game
(3) - Yes, yes, and more yes. It may not be MY thing, but it will sell.
(4) - Stable master? We already have hitching posts
(5) - Fire works display...Interesting...Perhaps better suited as an anniversary item
(6) - I disagree with removing even more need to people to go to cities. I get the convenience of it, but that doesnt always equate to better for the game
(7) - Wall Safe? We have those secret chests which are kinda similar. I guess new type of artwork with similar functions would be cool
(8) - Elevator...Maybe but I don't see an easy way for it to be sold on the store
(9) - House cloaking device? For what purpose? Hiding your whole house? Seems very impractical
(10) - I like it, but remove the soulforge functionality. We cant risk making existing content even more irrelevant (aka Scalis)
(11) - Wardrobe - We already have mannequins to hold our suits for us right? Adding function to rename them would be nice tho
(12) - Interesting idea, I like the thought behind it...But how desirable/how much use would the everyday player have for it? Perhaps not a store item
(13) - I like the idea, but requires more thought on how it would be implemented. Perhaps it only shows your top 3 favorite pets? (WoW is doing something similar in their new Garrisons)

6. Extra Character Slot (With effect of Mystic Token) - Again at this point, I don't think they want to reduce the need of people buying new accounts

7. Extra Pet Stall Slots - I like this one, and its also something alot of people would buy.

8. Runic’s - Would negate game content and cross into Pay to Win territory

9. Dye tubs with Neon colors / Dye one item Glacial/Blaze / Dye for pets - Noooooo. I think the Dev team already said something about wanting things like dragons to have the ability to spawn in some new colors which is a vastly better thing than a pet dye. Also we really need to move away from neons and such.

10. Gambling Furniture - I like it

11. Last Name token - I suppose you want to bypass the character limit? You could just choose a first and last name within the limit so I dont know if this would work.

12. Armor for pets - Something like dragon barding but for other pets? Sure, but it should be a ingame thing not a store item IMO

13. Blessed Reagent Bag - Tough one. I think it goes into P2W territory, but it might be a good idea as an ingame item. Would it encourage the use of regs + the market for them? Maybe

14. Token that works at all banks advertising your event and casting unblock able gate - Not going to happen. Very easily could become a way to grief/be obnoxious. Same reason why Governors don't have access to the town criers.



Now for some other posters: You have to consider not what YOU necessarily want, but what would EVERYONE want. There is no point to adding something to the store if only a few people will buy it. We also cannot risk the game going into P2W areas. For example:

1. Something that effects only Castles/Keeps - The market is too low so why waste time developing for it? How many people would even buy it? Sure if you own a Castle you would, but honestly how many players do?

2. It CANNOT be Pay To Win. Anything that would give you an inherent advantage to another player simply will not be good for the game. Forged Metal Tool is pushing it as is.

3. We arent going to get a 2nd house. Its time people accept it. The idea is for UO to MAKE money, not LOSE money. A 2nd house = loss of subs.

4. Underwear? *facepalm* I really doubt that would be a hot seller....




*********************************************************************************************************************

UO's biggest strength has always been its housing. Its a feature many MMO's either dont have, or still dont do right (Instanced housing, yuck). Housing also drives subscriptions. In say this, you have many things that have been, and can continue to be added to the store:

1. Housing "Theme" packs - New tiles and such
2. House Deco

I still maintain Vet Rewards would be a great seller. Actual Vets will have the chance to get them for free, anyone else can buy them. Tiered pricing depending on the "Age" required to claim a free version.

New noncombat Mounts/Pets exclusive to the store would also be good sellers.

Marriage Token? Lets you target another player - Gives you a special title you can use in game to show your union + Gives increased skill gain when you are playing together for a week? Could work

Indestructible crafting tools?

New Graphic Armor - Blank with max imbuing weight + basic resists?

Flag Of Pwning - Doesn't block movement, you can plant it on a players corpse with a cooldown (took this from WoW) (
http://www.wowhead.com/item=38578/the-flag-of-ownership#screenshots)

Murder Count Removal Token - Removes all counts from a character (Basically a uber version of a forged pardon, but make it expensive)

Skin Change Token - Lets you repick your skin color?

Soul Collector - Collects the "souls" of the monsters you kill. Recent a certain number and it rewards you with a random item from a certain pool of things? Needs work, but could be that interesting knicknack

New Hairstyles - Something visible like this would make more sense than say, buying new undergarments or something

 

[FrejaSP]

So let me get this straight. I take the time to type up a comprehensive list to respond to the OP. You engage by being censorious about my list. I try and engage you and get specifics. You are again contemptuous without specifics. I press you for details on your displeasure. You make a judgmental comment about my avatar, and still add no substantive discussion. All righty then....


Have a great day.....

I'm sorry, I did not mean it that way. My first reply was just about the feelings I got when reading your list. I did not mean it negative and when you asked me, I tried to find out, why I reacted that way. I reread the post, and special the wish for neon colors but also your Utility Mounts, Bank Access Box and Elevator was part in my reaction. The neon colors can be a little to much for me.
Again did not mean to dump your post, it was just the feeling I got from reading it. Because I don't like it, do not mean it is bad ideas, just that it is not on my wish list, except Extra Pet Stall Slots

I wish you a good day too

 

[a slave girl]

I propose a new rent a suit system that uses points, like clean up brit points, to rent/create a temporary pvp suit for those pks who refuse to pvm.

So sell these points in the store of course.

The reason I propose this is a returning player checked and saw that a pvp suit cost 444 mill, so he said he'd put this old stone of a game back in its dusty box.

I mentioned a few years ago when my kids played that people don't play free shards just because they are free, they also play because it's so easy to just jump in and pvp.

I watched my son jump on a free shard and craft a suit with free barb kits and val hammers and be pvping within the hour.

So we need this.

Every paid sub gets 10,000 points, points can be traded via players. Points can be bought from UO store, account credited no tokens for duping, points can be earned dueling in arena, or clean up brit points can be redeemed for rent a suit points.

Then there's a menu of every pvp item in game to rent an item for 24 hours using points, or, to add mods to a rented piece using mods.

I would say allow us to sell or give away half our sub free renewal 10k points to a pk without penalty to us, meaning we keep 10k for ourselves for clean up brit points but donate 5k to pvp. Ala presidential election fund on income tax form.

So rent a suit points in UO store once rent a suit system makes it into game.

Also extra stable slots 1 slot per character not account $5? Whole account $25.

Extra character yes.

Earrings of protection singles and 5 packs. (No I don't need the 11th year master collection items have many already.)

Full soulstones in cool colors like Pretty Pink.

More but my time is limited just now.

 

[Zerbee]

Skin Change Token - Lets you repick your skin color?

Just wanted to point out this is available already ingame, its a skin tincture dye sold by provisioners.

Unless you mean a token that lets you repick your skin color to something not natural, would could be interesting if its something subtle and not in your face neon. Last thing I want to see is a bunch of people running around with glacial skin ._.

Haha is it? I never knew that

 

[Dot_Warner]

I'd like a vanity slot for the paper doll. All costume type items would go there (costumes, flippers, ring, fishingpole), but not the talismans.

This would then free up a hand for a weapon or spellbook so the characters aren't useless. Special moves should be allowed when using the slot (AND when using the polymorph spell), end the crippling due to ninjitsu forms.

This would allow additional fun RP opportunities, as well as give the devs the excuse to sell costume packs in the store.

 

[FrejaSP]

I would like an upgrade to the mannequins, that can show the resist on the whole suit and maybe the rest of the imbuing mods, so a crafter don't have to use his own body to get the resist right and he can show the suit he is making for a costumer or side by his vendor selling the suits. Maybe even set a price so a costumer can buy it right of the vendor.

I don't believe the fix for normal shards economy is to sell armor suit on uo store, lets see if the vendor seach can get the price down and normal shards need a balance between money added to the game and money removed from the game. the best money should be made from selling to other players as that do not add new money to the game. Selling to NPC's should not be a good business and to much gold on monsters are bad too. cleaning up the economy on normal shards may hurt some but if it can heal the game, it's worth it.

444 mill for a PvP suit, that insane, 4-5 mills for a maxed out suit with the best mods would have made sense and 444k for a suit without SoR and other expensive resources would be ok

Here is prices of the suits I had sold on Siege Perilous the last year, sometimes luck is more expensive, that depend of the demand and going price of imbuing prices.

5,000 Stealth warrior leather Training Suit, min 70, 4x50 resist
6,000 Warrior Leather Training Suit, 290 Luck
8,000 Warrior Metal Training Suit, 290 Luck
6,000 Warrior Studded Training Suit, 290 Luck
6,000 WarriorStudded leather Training Suit, min 70, 4x50 resist, need 35 str
7,000 Warrior Metal Training Suit, min 70, 4x50 resist, need 45 str
30,000 LRC100, MR6, Leather newbie mage suit min 70, 4x50
30,000 MR6, HPR6, Studded newbie warrior suit min 70, 4x50
30,000 MR6, HPR6, Leather newbie Stealth warrior suit min 70, 4x50
30,000 MR6, HPR6 Metal newbie warrior suit min 70, 4x50
79,999 LRC100, MR6, 5x70
109,000 LRC100, MR6, MI42 5x70
159,000 LRC 100, Luck 600, MR6, 5x70
299,000 LRC100, MR6, LMC40, 5x70
499,000 LRC100, LMC40. MR6, Luck600, 5x70
79,999 Stealth warrior MR6, HPR6, 5x70
159.000 Stealth Warrior MR6, HPR6, Luck600, 5x70
279,000 Stealth warrior HPR6, MR6, LMC40, 5x70
79,999 Studded MR6, HPR6, 5x70
159,000 Studded MR6, HPR6, Luck600, 5x70
279,000 Studded HPR6, MR6, LMC40, 5x70

159000 Metal MR6, HPR6, Luck600, 5x70
279000 Metal HPR6, MR6, LMC40, 5x70

So I will say, something is rotten on normal shards

 

[Longtooths]

Solus,

First let me thank you for taking the time to respond, I sincerely appreciate the feedback.



1.
House Storage increased to that of Castle /Additional House per Account Token - Never going to happen. More a ccounts= more money for UO, so I don't see them giving us another house or increasing our storage.

LT ~ I also do not have any hope of this happening for the same reason. But it’s good to dream

2. Multi-Skill Soulstone - Seems redundant considering we already can buy Soulstones (legacy token) and get them as vet rewards.

LT ~ It is redundant, but that does not mean it is without value. You would be able to reclaim space and lockdown count. One stone to rule them all!

3. Increase Pet Control Number - BIG NO. Tamers already have plenty of power with Greater Dragons. Imagine letting them have ANOTHER pet on top of that? It has way too many implications in both PvM and PvP.

LT ~ Again this is a dream thing, I can understand the shift in power this would have ad the reason why it is not a possibility. …How about letting tamers ride an ethy in addition to full pet count? Do you think that is game breaking?


4. New mounts/Pets - As a mount collector in WoW, I really do think this is a great idea, and one gamers are proven to want. We were originally supposed to get a Seahorse mount for water travel in Ilshenar which never happened, so the idea of a water mount is intriguing.

LT ~ I could not agree more with you, I think this would be awesome! How about submarines??

5. New Housing Deco -
(1) - Dont we already have the crystal/corrupted teleporters for things like this? I get maybe wanting to add runes, but really we have runebooks for that.

LT ~ Again, like the soulstone consolidation this will sell for the simple reason it looks like a teleportal. Second you don’t have to type anything, step in and hit a button. It would sell and I would be one person buying it.


(2) - Bad idea. It takes even more money from UO, and it basically negates the shard shields which are already in game

LT ~ My apologies for not being as descriptive as I wanted on this. This is another consolidation item. It would consolidate all your shield you have bought through vet rewards into one clean way to access them and see how many charges of each you have. Again I don’t feel this is game breaking, just consolidation of existing game mechanics.


(3) - Yes, yes, and more yes. It may not be MY thing, but it will sell.

LT ~ Agreed. And I say flood the market, put ten designers on this pronto just pumping out ideas. Make it so not everyone has the same deco and can truly be unique.


(4) - Stable master? We already have hitching posts

LT ~ We do but what this would eliminate is the need to recharging them. Do you use a hitching post to retrieve and stall your pets or do you go to the city stable? Now, what about if you had the same stable functionality at your house? Walk up, “Claim a” etc with no recharging? A convenience item and I would pay for that!


(5) - Fire works display...Interesting...Perhaps better suited as an anniversary item

LT ~ Only problem I see with this is it becoming bunk after the first month with everyone having see its results. Therefore you need to make it programmable with many many design possibilities so that people do not get board with it.


(6) - I disagree with removing even more need to people to go to cities. I get the convenience of it, but that doesnt always equate to better for the game

LT ~ I’m not sure what everyone proclivity toward assembling at banks is about. Ok, I can understand the human nature to need other people and for community and all that. So long as you recognize that there is the other hand where people go out of their way to go to remote cities to use the bank thus being polar opposite of your feelings. I believe in choice, if you want to group up and form a hive at the bank so be it, you want to bank in solitude, fine. This game was founded on freedom, why are we trying to herd people to certain areas of the game? FRRREEEEEDDDOOOMMMM!


(7) - Wall Safe? We have those secret chests which are kinda similar. I guess new type of artwork with similar functions would be cool

LT ~ meh I don’t know, just thought of a graphic of a picture on the wall that looked like a safe and acted like a box would be cool. How about a jewelry box as well?


(8) - Elevator...Maybe but I don't see an easy way for it to be sold on the store

LT ~ yeah I was hungry and had a headache…so sue me, I was brain stormin', scratch this idea


(9) - House cloaking device? For what purpose? Hiding your whole house? Seems very impractical


LT ~ meh. I have no idea what I was thinking I was brain storming…..


(10) - I like it, but remove the soulforge functionality. We cant risk making existing content even more irrelevant (aka Scalis)

LT ~ I see your point on that, and I really don’t have come back. I don’t want to destroy current content that is actually still being used either….


(11) - Wardrobe - We already have mannequins to hold our suits for us right? Adding function to rename them would be nice tho

LT ~ Another consolidation thing. I have probably 30 mannequins with all manner of suits on them, some are for obvious display because of their value, but some are my functional suits. Taming, mage, luck etc etc. If there was a Wardrobe for this that I could name my suits and save them all to it. It would save space and consolidate existing functionality. Maybe not on the top of my purchase list but I would buy it none the less


(12) - Interesting idea, I like the thought behind it...But how desirable/how much use would the everyday player have for it? Perhaps not a store item

LT ~ Yeah if your goal is to maximize profit and thus reach the masses, then this is not going to do it. But I would buy one for when I decide to open my auction back up

(13) - I like the idea, but requires more thought on how it would be implemented. Perhaps it only shows your top 3 favorite pets? (WoW is doing something similar in their new Garrisons)

LT ~ Yeah perhaps it shows five pets per unit purchased(animated of course) with ability to pull pets out like a stablemaster, group it with that one above. And also show bonding time left (Maybe have ability to decrease time with appropriate tending (watering, feeding, cleaning, etc of the pets) Add bonded date to stall..)

6. Extra Character Slot (With effect of Mystic Token) - Again at this point, I don't think they want to reduce the need of people buying new accounts


LT ~ I have 6 accounts currently that are not filled up so this for me is a, Meh. I can take this or leave it. I just added it because others had asked for it.

7. Extra Pet Stall Slots - I like this one, and it’s also something alot of people would buy.

LT ~ You and me both I have had to create unused tamers just to hold my hoard of Dreadmares and Dragons. I would buy this in a heartbeat!


8. Runic’s - Would negate game content and cross into Pay to Win territory

LT ~ I’m not a big crafter in fact my nephew SuperMule makes all my armor so I don’t have to. But, I don’t see how this would be game breaking. I understand it would allow people with more money than others to increase their odds of creating a better suit.

9. Dye tubs with Neon colors / Dye one item Glacial/Blaze / Dye for pets - Noooooo. I think the Dev team already said something about wanting things like dragons to have the ability to spawn in some new colors which is a vastly better thing than a pet dye. Also we really need to move away from neons and such.


LT ~ Why exactly do we need to move away from neons. I know people express aversion to the idea but the closest I have come to a lucid reason is for purity of the time period or for realistic sake. And as far as that goes, medieval peoples would often “paint” their animals, with all manner of colors. Hand prints, sold white color from ASH etc (I will however concede that they didn’t have neon colors just yet lol). The English would adorn their horses with the most colorful clothing they could afford. They would also tattoo and brand their animals. How about branding? That is time period authentic? To reiterate, I don’t relish the idea of Luna being a clusterbunch of colors so bright that my eyes hurt to look at it. However that is my opinion, I am sure there are those that think the opposite and I am all about freedom. Think I would just use my bank at home box. Hehe

10. Gambling Furniture - I like it

LT ~ Yeah this would be cool and brings the community together, albeit to gamble lol

11. Last Name token - I suppose you want to bypass the character limit? You could just choose a first and last name within the limit so I dont know if this would work.

LT ~ Agreed, stupid idea. How about a title token, create your own custom title?

12. Armor for pets - Something like dragon barding but for other pets? Sure, but it should be a ingame thing not a store item IMO


LT ~ ingame make it craftable and give a benefit. Uostore…make it ornate and just for decoration.

13. Blessed Reagent Bag - Tough one. I think it goes into P2W territory, but it might be a good idea as an ingame item. Would it encourage the use of regs + the market for them? Maybe


LT ~ Im not sure reagents are all that relevant anymore as a prize for a PvP kill. However that does drive the economy and I am all for the need to spend gold at NPC’s. But is it enough of a boon to P2W territory? It would allow you to take LRC off suits and gain another stat…might change things for the worse…needs testing and smarter minds than mine to figure out results.

14. Token that works at all banks advertising your event and casting unblock able gate - Not going to happen. Very easily could become a way to grief/be obnoxious. Same reason why Governors don't have access to the town criers.

LT ~ Yeah, agreed, someone would abuse this in it’s current design. How about if it advertised it on a sign outside the bank and you had to click the sign to access and then a button to teleport to the place….or make it like the new vendor search, it drops a map in pack and you recall of it…whatever…adds the location to all the teleporters…I think this could be a useful tool to advertise events, auctions etc. and it could be done in such a way that is less obnoxious than people do it now.




Marriage Token? Lets you target another player - Gives you a special title you can use in game to show your union + Gives increased skill gain when you are playing together for a week? Could work

LT ~ You just said it needs to be for everyone, how many people would this really reach?


Indestructible crafting tools?

LT ~ I like this idea!!!!

 

[Longtooths]

I would like an upgrade to the mannequins, that can show the resist on the whole suit and maybe the rest of the imbuing mods, so a crafter don't have to use his own body to get the resist right and he can show the suit he is making for a costumer or side by his vendor selling the suits. Maybe even set a price so a costumer can buy it right of the vendor.

I like this idea, a vendor mannequin perhaps that shows suit totals and has it available for sale (also ability to make it not for sale). I know suit crafters would love this idea.
