with all the events and special Xmas, Halloween, Easter, etc items. If there were any chance at all of it ever being changed in any way, shape, or form, it would've happened years ago. Storage has been an issue for over a decade now. I don't see it as strong enough incentive, especially not considering the years of Ryzom steadfastly refusing to do anything at all that would make life easier/better. Laoviel I'm trying to think in terms of energy flow through the path of least resistance, applied to economy. Are there people that would highly prefer doing a few extra crafting missions, get some money, and avoid this hassle? I believe so. Will some of them accept it? I believe they will, if the price is right.Ĭonsider that the alt route isn't painless, on the contrary, it involves using several toons, logging and relogging your main character, or subscribing several accounts. Well, my point is, give people an alternative. But for MANY people, a small payment to Spotify or Youtube Premium is preferable.Ĭurrently, if you want to store several thousands of materials, your ONLY option is to make alts. The comparison actually works, if you think that die-hard pirates still pirate, regardless of how accessible their media is. You know, music piracy wasn't curbed via drastic anti-piracy measures, but instead with the creation of alternative avenues - streaming services. I'm trying to think in terms of energy flow through the path of least resistance, applied to economy. If you try to make it a dapper-sink then the cure will be worse than the disease, so folks will ignore your pseudo-solution and keep doing what they have done for years. Gidget I read that as "I see no problem with having 2-10 alt guilds per active toon, so there's no reason to fix anything". #1 would be shorter gaps between digs from ending up on the same stack then #2 would, while #2 has potential for longer periods vs nr of stacks but if you dig bark at the end of winter 2608 it will spoil just as fast as bark dug in spring of the same year. (stacks of bark: spring 2607, summer 2607, autumn 2607, winter 2607, spring 2608, summer 2608, autumn 2608, winter 2608, spoiled stack)Ģ: all 'bark' gained in a year stacks with the same year (real time like resale timers, would create to many separate)ġ: all 'bark' gained in a season stacks with the same season+year What i would suggest is resources spoil over a period of x-years but in staid of a realtime countdown bind it to a season or year counter. I think the only solution is to increase character wide storage but also add anti hoarding measure such as raw materials spoiling over time. People with hoarding tendencies would just keep on hoarding, and 1 year later we would get the same kind of complaint about "insufficient space". This would ensure that the feature only works for somewhat active players, and it would indirectly help the crafters by sometimes throwing materials (and/or equipment) on the market.īut unconditionally adding more storage? No. Fail to do that, and the stuff in storage goes to the merchants to be auctioned off first with 9000% markup, going down each day for another 7 days until it reaches 0% markup. Should you go into arrears, you get a 7-day grace period to pay back the money owed. Per year it's something akin to 2 million dappers, which isn't a lot. The dappers could be subtracted directly from the player or from the guild funds. So, for the folks that require a lot more storage, I propose space rental (and I know it's nothing new).One would pay a small price, say 7500 dappers per day per extra 1k bulk (in apartement) / 5k bulk (in guild hall). Dig 500 excellent zun? Chuck it there, you never know when you're going to need to make 20 amps at once. Killed some choice named? Chuck its parts in the guild hall, regardless of how useful the materials are. The problem is compounded because people do keep a lot of less-than-needed materials around. I don't see a lot of folks chafing under this limitation, except for a few players that dig and dig and dig and end up with thousands of supremes and excellents. Now, for the long-term storage needs, I believe apartments and guild halls are quite fine as they are. For example, accumulating some thousands of excellent materials to make a few boosted armillo sets, or just for the convenience of not having to stop and craft. Hoarding supremes to make a boosted maga amp, for example.
