Re: Draumfeldr, the Cloak of Dreams shrouding Tyr-Gwyrd

With regards to the forgetting - it's just like secrets and details of the land or anything they experience while there? They don't forget everything, but they tend to be hazy on particulars and details. Players can assume anything on the wiki is information someone passing through Draumfeldr could...

Re: Well-known maritime culture locations

Porto D'esilio's definitely a popular subject of shanties these days, being the place where exiles are usually dropped off in the Lost Lands. I'll have to take some time to think up some other area names for you from around the world.

Re: Soap

The Avery Bathhouse is pleased to announce that they've added cedar, pine, and juniper-berry soaps to their stock! Now for the bad news: Their stock of imported lavender is running low, and will eventually no longer be available. If you've got a thing for smelling of lavender, stock up now! ========...

Company founders can now send copies of letters to all members

The founder of a Company can now use the MAIL COMPANY command to send copies of a single-page written document (no multi-page books) to all members of their Company. The cost increases based on the number of members needing copies sent to them. Presumably a scribe is employed to make those copies by...

Re: Tips and advice for newer players [serious only]

We've had a good number of new people stopping by, so I'm bumping this both for visibility to the new folks and to see if anyone has any further additions.

Re: Level pacing, grinding disincentives, and bucket introduction

A lot of this is just concept discussion. Nothing's currently broken and needs an immediate overhaul, but it's fun to think about and theorize. Overhauls aside, I think starter packs and additional tasks for getting past the first level or two with more speed and guidance are good shorter term goals...

Re: Level pacing, grinding disincentives, and bucket introduction

First, just clarifying that a character's Limit Meter would be universal (not per-skill) and would be intended to be similar to the experience bucket concept in in concept and pacing times. I'm mostly trying to just trim out the fat (the extra experience/level layer that could potentially be done wi...

Re: Level pacing, grinding disincentives, and bucket introduction

I was thinking a simpler approach. Rather than a bucket, think of a meter instead. For now I'll call it the uh ... Limit Meter. Not a great name, but works for now. So: Skill practice is immediately applied to your skill. No need to put it in a bucket and wait for it to go from the bucket to your ac...
