Purchasing promotions is already implemented, it has an rpxp cost and every GL set the requirements for what is required to purchase up--as in, what levels of skills are required to promote yourself. GLs can see all the roles and the requirements with 'role list <guild>', while members can only see ...

The bonuses to rpxp might not show up visibly for new characters, because you already have a lot of things stacked in your way for raising rpxp--being cyan and around other cyans, playing with new people etc etc all bumps it up. If you are keeping up on hemotes and thinks, you might very well be max...

1) Perform with other people then. The bards previously had 5-6 practices or more for their plays they put on. Bands practice together irl, bards can too. Focus on shorter pmotes to break them up and get the most from the session and keep the scene moving. I imagine this is probably the “intended” w...

I am not certain what you mean by 'ladder pulling' since that appears to mean 'removing opportunities that you had from others' which... asking new players to engage in the same system that existing characters do is not. It's actually asking them to use the exact same circumstances. I have had champ...

I imagine you are familiar with the concept of game mechanics and how they work? How in some games, such as an RPG, you are required to do sometimes repetitive actions like killing monsters and doing quests, to level up, to get new abilities, that then you can use to further kill monsters and do que...

Ah, in that instance I might go to staff and ask if they will let you pay the QP cost for the skills, but anything above 36 does have a QP cost associated with it, for balance reasons. Perhaps chargen blocks you now that you can freely go back to avoid abuse. The other points do stand.

I think you're coming at the game with the wrong mindset. This is not a tabletop game where everyone starts at the same level, nor a MUSH where you can come in with no progress to be made. That option is available, but you need to have the rpxp and QP to replace the mechanical progression. New playe...

I can also state as a previous bard and an existing one that the system as it stands is built with the expectation of 'practice' happening. Practice sessions where existing bards all sort of scene and play together, and not just performance in front of people are the expectation with the system. The...

While initially in favor of this policy, I have come to realize that a lot of the requests for it were based more on a general mistrust of players for other players. I've also come to realize that codedly blocking someone from having a mage and an Orderite doesn't really achieve the goal anyways--it...

Swank, the only other place I knew of was the farm to the east of town, the other farm/seed hub
