Improving Imperian

Now it's stupid that can't even acquire more handaxes cause no one sells them in shops. It's going to be a great while till classleads come around, but could we please swap out the knife sigils in Artistry for actual throwing knives that can be envenomed so I can at least make them myself for juggling and throwing purposes?

I realize there are definitely coding workarounds I could employ for this.

But would it be possible for PRICE ALLSINGLE on smithed goods to take priority over layouts? I keep ruining prices inadvertantly.

You put eleven suits of ring mail into a long pine shop shelf.
> price allsingle ringmail 10000
You set gold and indigo treble clef ringmail (des#14253) to sell for 10000 gold sovereigns each. Total in stock: 1.

Can a command be added to filter out quests with a specified keyword, maybe something like QUESTS SEARCH (string)? It'd just be a pretty handy thing to do to check on the status of something, or figure out the name of that quest you forgot about.

Iniar

Shopkeeping is weirdly complicated. All the syntaxes are also so funny. Kudos to people who keep doing it

@Ultrix and I got to talking, and it's very often that we end up not knowing what the last Message was about, so we'd like a way to contextualise messages. In the first instance, we would like a 'Sent Messages' folder, but knowing that could be a problem, we would like to suggest that each message sent out in "reply" would preferably append the first 30 characters of the message it replies to. I'm not sure how this would work out, but certainly, @Garryn and I often forget what we were talking about

This happens to me all the time, but thankfully I just check my logs if I really can't remember.

I used to keep plain logs but then I ran out of Dropbox space

I don't log at all.  This results in me completely forgetting what I messaged someone about, even if it is a few minutes later. *begs for a sent message folder*

Can we please have Journals and Scrolls open to Woodworkers? I hate that my ability to make custom scrolls is locked behind people who generally prefer flowers over blood. Please?

Can we have the area name show up when we do look, or an abbreviated version on the minimap?

It would be nice to not have to type survey each time.

It can't be that hard to put in, I do it in my client.  I like it with the vnum there too.

The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. There are 2 chimeric avians here.

Set your MAP RADIUS to 4 or 5, the area should be included on it then.

There are some areas that aren't showing the area name such as Kinsarmar and Vardarians..

It would be nice if shop allies could be a separate permissions list, rather than tied to the main allies list.

As you take up half of the confection in each hand, you attempt somewhat vainly to fit them back together, an effort that 

fails miserably before you abandon the notion and instead take a large bite of one half. The cookie easily falls apart upon 

your tongue, its impossibly soft, chewy texture almost cake-like in consistency. Bearing the rich flavours of red velvet 

and subtle hints of decadent white chocolate, the dessert's complementing flavours are accentuated by the saccharine 

sweetness of sifted powdered sugar.

You are already eating something. Don't be greedy!

Can we please fix this?

Ok. Eating custom food now only stops you from eating other custom food. This might have some side effects, so file a bug if something weird happens.

You broke my foodlock.

Tokens are sort of problematic now.

There's just nothing particularly good to spend them on. All the useful things were moved over to credit costs when Jeremy was going to remove them from the Iron Elite, but nothing was added to replace them when it turned out that Tokens were going to stay, anyways. Now tokens build up and there's nothing really to spend them on.

I'd really like to see a lot of the general purpose utility artifacts move over to tokens. This would make my elite membership feel more useful, as well as making tokens something that I might actually be able to sell; the only real reason people go for tokens any more is for the offering altar and for the market stall, really.

Artifacts I'd like to see moved over:

1. Monocle
2. Caravan Crop 
3. Diamond Tipped Spade
4. Dragonskin Quiver
5. Fishing Lure/Fishing Pole
6. Obsidian and Gold Pipe
7. Quicksilver Flasks
8. Silver Keyring
9. Smoked Glass Pipet
10. Steel Mallet
11. Wheel Grease
12. etc etc etc

Just useful little utility things that would serve to make Tokens more useful and give me something to spend them on.

Selthis

Obsidian and gold pipe was moved from tokens to credits because it was undervalued in token cost.

Edit: But the rest I pretty much agree with.  Like I said, rotate through old promotion stuff for tokens.  I want a snowglobe, a few missing  familiars, a troggle, etc.  Let me buy that stuff please.

Khizan

Old tokens were worth 32 bound credits each in tradein value, which means that the old cost of the obsidian pipes was effectively 160 credits. This change actually made pipes cheaper.

Ultrix

Please move the learning scroll back to token wares.

Can ASPECT POWERS or ASPECT LIST PERKS show what powers we've already made permanent? I don't know if you can perma a power twice, but I'd rather avoid it, if possible.

Would it be possible to add CONFIG COLOUR CIRCLE # ?

CONFIG COLOUR DEMONIC 14

And so on, to color the names of people.

Hi guys, please make sure you incorporate shards into something long term. I would hate having to explain to newbies why the flying candies are no longer relevant and no one turns up.

Kind regards,

Iniar

Ahkan

Having played Imperian for quite a long time, this is pretty relevant. Sadly, there is nothing as awesome as the joker to improvise

We didn't learn lessons from gold generation 1, gold generation 2, commodities, gold generation 3 before we jumped into shards and we find ourselves in the same dilemma.

1) There need to be more 'upkeep' costs associated with shard trees to guarantee shard consumption.

2) We may need to look at upping the costs of some shard abilities.

3) There need to be some 'general' shard skills that add 'utility' to the game. If you want, throw it in a general skillset or something, but give us extra trees to invest in. Then give those an upkeep. She-bam!

4) Using shards to buy access to Underworld content is amazing. That is such a great idea. You should have to buy a charon charm every ig year.
