Tis a pity

Post by ZyrVoX »

As Aramathea lies desolate i see all the goods in space apart from, wood and bricks for which i need to rebuild, pity we cant gather stuff from other worlds to build up others and then selling goods which are needed to them

It is a pity.. but somewhat fundamental to the way the game was built and currently works.. Items and inventories are completely separate on worlds and space, as the gameplay can be completely different.

However, some of the backend changes i've been making recently have been to enable just such a behaviour, allowing worlds and galaxy to exchange information via the universe server. No promises that this will happen soon, but its possible now and maybe something i'll look into (for the starting worlds at least) during the next few months of balancing the gal and adding in more worlds to explore.

p.s. It is still the intention to go back to Aramathea (which actually contains all of the first 5 chapters) at some point and compress it into a shorter and more playable 'history' world that will feed into your galactic character.

Why not just bring back the pier and let people purchase mats using sheckles? That would be a fairly easy way to get activity back on the world.

No need to reset and make people start from scratch.

Great Idea

As the pier is still there, change to buy stuff with sheckles instead of gold, then that would get it started.

the main issue with any world<->space economy linking is that anybody with a world can have access to unlimited funds and items via *grantcash and *grantitem

They could also give unlimited funds and items to anybody they choose that visits their world.



I could grant myself 65k wood and bricks on zoric, then bring it to aram and give it away. There wouldn't really be an economy, it would just turn into a fun playground.

Really, I looked high and low for the dang pier and I couldn't find it. I went straight south from Giza then west a long way and didn't see it. II then went east for even longer I think at one time I had circled half way around and was heading west again. I never saw it.

The pier is at the edge of the world on the east coast
