The Golden Harvest Has Returned

Once the mightiest merchant guild in the world, The Harvest has been reformed by a distant descendant of the founding father, Golden Richards. We are seeking strong lads and ladies to help us in many regards, from builders to hunters, breeders to miners, and writers to merchants. Wealth abounds for all of our members as they help further the cause of free economy and healthy population growth amongst kingdoms.

Interested? Submit an application and stop by our offices outside the Courland keep, near Renatus.

((But gentlemen, I would remind you that even when actions go a course you had not chosen them to, it can be a blessing. Sometimes accepting it ICly can lead to a better outcome for yourself in the future... especially when you are certain the other party is in the wrong.

Just a reminder from the Inquisition.))

((Please do explain how letting this guy take our business could be a blessing? Even just hypothetically... Seems more like getting robbed to tune of about 50 thousand minas to me.))

*as he sees the posters plastered around Arethor Silver Richards expresses sadness and compassion towards the wayward prince, who has so obviously lost his mind. Mumbling to himself:*

He must really like that tavern to be making such a big deal about the loss of a carrot and being trapped by a lowly barmaid.

((james, patrick, assassin, whatever your name is- it is time to grow up and move on. Be more mature with your RP and it will make the whole server a better environment to play in. Stop trying to steal our whole business because one employee committed some minor transgression that we agreed to help resolve. You're just being greedy and irrational.))

(( I thought I gave the tavern back to you? I went to bed and then I get up to find this ugh ))

* Lord High Sheriff looks at the poster

"Strange I didn't approve of siezing the bar again, I thought I told the owners it was safe...this is what happens when I'm not away, my name is used when I don't approve."

* Kais sighs and says

"Creator give me strength."

*reads the note and recalls the same conversation with the High Sheriff*

I encourage the concerned parties to contact me by Bird at our headquarters or the Viridian Tavern at their earliest possible convenience.

((Mogroka, please PM me so we can discuss this in private. I think that Italian_Assassin is Powergaming and I was NOT going to file a complaint on him for awful RP but might have to reconsider that. The High Sheriff and I had agreed in RP before going to bed that this was to be handled civilly and without seizing our entire property over the theft of a ...carrot....))

Horrible idea. Make a new nonphysical currency, make mobs drop minas again, make text based autoshops that arent exploitable.

And the server will flourish just as it did during the times of Aegis.

Right now its virtually unplayable and that makes me sad.

Edit: to clarify- for those who havent been around since Aegis- thats how things were back then and it worked well. Even though the skills plugin didnt work back then... dont get me started on the situation with that though.

perms for each item so that not everyone could sell anything.

Remember we have to be realistic. The simpler the plugin the less chance we have of it having exploits and bugs.

Also, keep in mind the fine line between making a 100% realistic RP experience and keeping the game fun and accessible for everyone.

A) The shop plugin is long overdue, thanks for starting to think about implementing it

B) With the amount of work this will require as well as to keep the number of shops from getting out of hand this should be a donator perk.

C) Limit number of items to something like 2 pages, but allow people to buy multiple (but still somehow limited) numbers of shopkeepers.

D) Mobs need to drop minas again, that was the way that money was introduced to the world. As it is right now with everyone running around with 20 minas the economy will never take off again with or without shops.

E) Godspeed, the economy has ground to a halt without shops

Thanks for reading

It would work if it were almost exactly like an alt account.

That is to say:

Stats are different.

Location is different.

Inventory is different.

Character card is different.

Then it's no worse than a separate account alt.

Then have /resetme. People reroll without changing the charcard, having /resetme just means that the character cards'll be right.

As for dubious stat assignment, triple or quadruple XP. If people can alter their skills then they'll assign them more appropriately to the character.

I'm pretty sure that everything you just described could be solved/mitigated by just making people buy a new account for their alts. Why make it so easy to have multiple characters? Seems powergame-y to me.

I thought the rule used to be 1 character per account. That character could be killed or go missing but he had to be "retired" to play a new one.

When I came back recently from a several month break I was honestly quite annoyed with how everyone seems to have an inaccurate character card or one listing something like:

"Ellequin- Wood elf, Burgark'Gro'Blurgark- Orc, Cki'svhix- Kha"

Why not make the rule that if you want to play an "alt" you need to cough up the $20 for the MC account or kill your old toon first?

I think that would cut down on metagaming as well as me seeing people's ign tag and *assuming* they're still the same character I Rp'd with previously.

Edit:

Raise your hand if you played a Mori and has a time where you wished you could play another character, but didn't want to have to kill your Mori to do so....."All hands raise" Thats what I thought.

The point is that the "flavor of the month" races would be a much bigger issue if everyone had the option to play one without getting rid of their first character.

*Upon reading the declaration Silver Richards makes a mental not to speak to Emperor Godfrey I about diplomatic leader status and chuckles to himself about the bread prices thinking:

If it be one bread for 2 minas, 4 for 5, and 8 for 10... Well thank the Angeuls that I can still charge what I like fer a bundle!

((Lol socialism... it worked for Canada!))

((Well thanks for PM'ing me back about your brilliant roleplay idea that directly undermines my guild.... I'll be speaking to a mod about this "serious RP"))

(If this is to get people to jion the guild then it should be moved to the Guilds Section since you aren't selling any specific thing."

((this guy isnt with the Golden Harvest he's just trolling out of jealousy. Haters gonna hate))

"Obsidian for sale at the Golden Harvest! Get it while it's still warm from the buried lava deposits of the wilds!" Yells the town crier.

"Also buying Diamonds in large quantity, send yer birds to Silver Richards or meet him in person at the shops!"

*laughs as he walks by*

"Naysayers are going to naysay..."

*Silver Richards sends his reply to Beren*

Usually limited to a couple payslips per Elven day. As I said the pay isn't great but the fringe benefits make up for it.

We do try to compensate everyone fairly though, wouldn't expect anybody to stick around if we didn't.

*a reply is sent out to all the lads and lasses asking about pay*

Our pay system has always worked as such:

1 payslip for a day of work- usually 3-5 bundles of something moderately difficult to collect. Logs, wool, food, etc..

3 payslips can be exchanged for 400 minas or usually a diamond.

We may not pay a ton but we do cover your room and board so that should be factored in.

I'll be back at the headquarters later on this Elven day but if ye need immediate help do contact my associate, Dedicant Giovanni ((racingbrother))

*A portrait of the late Lord Golden Richards adorns the new defunct sheet of paper, his finger pointed out towards the reader*
