Nexus is a good system

@TarreBear I demand a battle of arts for this July.................

Food for thought: Investing time on Nexus is the same thing that investing time on Roleplay. If you don’t have time for Nexus, you should also not have time to Roleplay, meaning you don’t have time to play online games. Investing a hour doing roleplay is exactly the same thing as spending a hour doing Nexus, the only difference is the way its spent. If you don’t have a hour to do exercises, you also don’t have a hour to roleplay...

Nexus isn’t obligatory unless you want to PvP. Here’s why:

You can make bread as anyone, most high tier foods were focused on PvP

All potions were focused on PvP

All relevant weapons were focused on PvP (anyone can buy 2 iron ingots from voting money and make themselves a sword with Promising Blacksmith if they want to use that for RP).

If you don’t want to PvP, then you don’t need to do Nexus. It’s somewhat hardcore roleplayer friendly

So if you were investing time on Nexus, you’d also be investing time on PvP. An exception would be building blocks such as cobblestone and wood but we had LC back then.

Items create value because of the grind wall behind them. If everyone can make everything, there’s no reason you’d buy resources from someone else to craft something since you can just go ahead and get it by yourself. There are some people that are the exception to the rule such as Potts that got Aengulic but they can only focus on one or two tasks which is gathering while crafting (or use multiple alts to craft)

Resource nodes won’t work for a RP friendly enviroment because people would be constantly ganking these places to steal from other players.

Scarce resources to make actual gear as a grind replacement aren’t good. There’d be people hoarding too many of these scarce resources, and on times of need they’d raise the price or hoard all of it for themselves.
