Dark,

Something to be aware of is that you can't actually resurrect
yourself.  You can only resurrect other people, so it would be useless
to use on your own corpse.

Hi dark,
Just because you don't group doesn't mean you shouldn't learn the 
spell. There are lots of people who will ask for a res on public 
channels; it's often a quick and easy half cap.

Dark,

Thanks for the heads up.  I've added information about it to the help
pages and faqs and made sure everything is consistent and up to date.
As John mentioned, its 1000 credits per year, and you can use the bank
from anywhere on the game at any time.

The corpse retrieval is one at a time and happens the instant you buy
it, assuming that your corpse is still out there.  The underlying
mechanic is that it transports your corpse to you and does a god-level
resurrect, so you get back the maximum exp that a resurrect is allowed
to return.  I've also been thinking about adding a sort of one time
pre-death insurance like prayer for the dying, but I don't know how
well received that would be.

Re: [Audyssey] Private banking in Alteraeon?

2012-08-03 Thread Dennis Towne
Ben,

The easiest way is just to use real money, but I totally understand
that isn't an option sometimes.  To help out, I set up a money market
in the game to let players buy and sell credits anonymously to each
other using gold, so you can use gold you get to buy credits.  The
price of a credit is pretty high though - it takes a lot of gold to
buy a credit most of the time.  I'd plan on a price of around a
thousand gold per credit.

Another option is to trade equipment or other things that players want
for gold or credits.  There's a couple of people on the game that have
literally got all their credits simply by trading valuable stuff to
others.  I've found that it's often easier for me to get gold by
trading than it is to try to run it myself.

To take a look at the money market, use the 'mmarket' command in game,
or try 'help money market'.

Re: [Audyssey] Private banking in Alteraeon?

2012-08-03 Thread dark

Hi Denis.

Thanks for letting me know.

the main problem I tned to have with the hole resurrect business, is that 
odds are if I died, it's deep in some very hostile zone, and resurrecting my 
corpse will be fairly likely to get me killed again even assuming I can find 
it.


This is why I've not learnt the resurrect spell myself.

I'd actually love a way to just summon my corpse back, even at a hefty 
manner cost, then I could use resurrect.


As to selling death related bennifits generally I'm not sure on that one. 
personally, I prefer not to spend real world money on items in games which 
get consumed without a perminant, or at least very long term bennifit, so 
while I am willing to buy practices to perminantly iprove my character and 
will very likely buy private banking, I'm not sure about paying for one time 
death related bennifits for myself.


I'm not however saying it's a bad idea though, this is just personal 
thoughts.



more generally, I personally love doing quests above everything else, and 
will even go back to lower level areas to complete them. I'd therefore love 
there to be a way to actually have some vague objectives assigned to random 
monster hunts for xp, say by having random hunting missions assigned in 
certain areas to kill a set number of random mobs for gold and possibly xp.


Don't ask me why, but I just find it far more engaging to have a distinct 
goal in mind when i'm in an area I've already explored hunting for xp, than 
just running around doing hack n slash.


indeed, some alternative methods to gaining xp and gold than fighting could 
be very nice. I love the explorer points system, and also often fish, and 
will start brewing just for the heck of it as soon as I have the 
skills,  though unfortunately that could take a while being as thief and 
mage are my bottom two classes.


Beware the Grue!

Dark.
