+--- Thread: De-card NPC? (/showthread.php?tid=4508)
RE: De-card NPC? - azurerogue - 01-17-2008
lol @ Mystra.
I knew there was a reason people GMed aside from the joy of dealing with messy community relations problems, eternally grateful community members who never whine, and the pure unadulterated glee it must bring some GMs to get to spend their time bot-checking, rule-enforcing, and managing player relations instead of playing!!!
EDIT: And, for the record, I was against the de-card donation service, but I didn't deem it worth saying anything about. As long as it's being taken out, I thought I'd voice my brief opinion just so Pandora doesn't think there is only a small amount of support, and that some of it is rational. I just saw that and was a little sad that the server was going to begin offering donation items, or services, not available in game without a donation, you know? Charging for the other stuff (sex change, name change, whatever the others were) make sense because it truly is stuff that doesn't affect game balance in any way that I can discern and simply might make a few people happier (o.O) and be worth $5.
I would honestly have no problem even if you were trying to make money on the server (which I know you're not) because, quite frankly, you guys deserve to with all the work you put into this server. But I'm also VERY selfish because I like the fact that there aren't really any game-play changing donation services that are impossible to get without donations (thus making them not so threatening to those of us with only work-study jobs who are paying for college with summer work money
)Either way, I respect your decision and you should really do what you want - it is your server after all. Sorry, this ended up being far less brief than I thought it would be.

It's fine, thanks for the input
Well the de-card is out as you all know, hope the other stuff are not deemed too bad even if it is donation only. Afterall we did offer name change to everyone for 2 weeks before adding this service in the donation. As for the sex change, well it's a delicate operation you know, we change much less than regular plastic surgeon

...Just as i was about to finally get to donate and de-card a bow at the same time... this happens, And i don't see how it is unbalancing the server

i do
RE: De-card NPC? - Flossy - 01-17-2008
How so ? I also play on a 1/1/1 server they have a De-card NPC, and its not unbalanced at all, But figuring you have to pay 5 mill +5 gold and an emp to de-card its kind of expensive.

@ Flossy
The thing here is that the economy on this server has taken time to be established not to mention the time people have put in to plan out their slotting and in many cases, multiples of certain armors.
As soon as a de-carder is implemented a lot of the economy is curroded by the fact that cards aren't as scarce any more and armors can be carded with much more freedom.

If people really want a decarder that badly, make it have a chance of 30% chance to fail. Upon failure the item will break along with the card slotted in it destroyed. On top of that, a random stat will be deducted by 10 points permanently.
RE: De-card NPC? - azurerogue - 01-18-2008
o.O
Reducing stats permanently?
That's a bit extreme, don't you think?

Or just let this thread die since Ms. Pandora already said what she is going to do regarding de-card~
RE: De-card NPC? - Sekaru - 01-21-2008
just a thought for the ToH de carding process what about if they want to keep the card they have to get like 90 points or so + they won't get new wings this round but they can use there "wing points" to take out the card instead? (thus keeping there current wings and card) so this way preventing the "well his 5th gen wings have ed he's doomed forever" situation
2. same suggestion cept you don't keep the card ^_^ I like this one better
