Please implement a notice board system where players can put out requests for certain items and materials, offer a payment of any kind, for all to see, it would offer a nice two way street that will be conducive to roleplay and also realistic

Finally!!! Though please make something to allow selling basic unsigned items. Ain’t nobody got time for gathering blocks to decorate their house.

Cries in no longer being able to get cool items or food for new plays on the AH.

I've spoken about this before, but I personally do not believe that Lord of the Craft's economy is currently stable enough to support the idea of removing the auction house. This is going to cripple the global economy as it'll only serve the purpose of limiting the opportunity to generate liquidity and create supply bottlenecks within the economy which will definitely impact the value of the mina. Currently the only instance in which additional money gets injected into the money supply is through voting alone. In prior years there was a very functional and well thought-out plugin which enabled people to become traders and deliver supplies via llamas across the map to NPCs for pocket change, this - in combination with voting - allowed for players to have multiple opportunities to acquire minas, this helped smooth out the economy as it meant that there was another means of increasing the money supply aside from voting. Maintaining liquidity is essential to creating a strong economy, the fact that the only way the money supply is increased is through voting impacts liquidity among other things - limiting the auction house is going to have a similar effect.

 

Believe it or not but I'm actually a big advocate of things such as removing the auction house, but LOTC in its current state is NOT going to be capable of handling such a removal unless we create more opportunity for players to be able to gain minas/compensate for the lack of liquidity. The removal of the auction house will likely mean that the rich will get richer (due to being able to fall back on taxes) and the poor will get poorer (due to not having a convenient way to sell their goods, nor acquire convenient minas to be able to buy goods from others).

 

I'm part of the economy team for a separate server, while I'm definitely not the brightest person on that team - nor the most technically minded - I feel like I can confidently say that this is a bad idea.

How is this a meme? What did I say that's factually incorrect?

I still think it should be considered that AH is a great resource for building materials and food. If it comes to a point where these things become more of a grievance than they are an RP incentive (which, lets be honest, most people do not regard mechanical hunger or building blocks as RP enhancers) I don't think it'd hurt to offer some form of restricted AH that only offers those two categories, or at the very least, easier access to building materials since resource gathering on this map is so abhorrent. RP items and books should be totally disjointed imo

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.

      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
