I finally got Joy of Undeath to 50! (Yes, I know the UI didn't show up...) So now, the four oldest toons on my account are all 50s.

I think Yenth wants to be next... she'll probably be mad if she isn't...

edit: And yes, I'm sharing this here, since no one seems to be reading the channel right now...

Haha, aw... How great this internet is, where you can read people's hearts and tell them how they feel.

No, I don't want a one time fee. I want the devs to have money to be able to keep producing more content (they need it so that they can eat, you know). I don't want to spend $X for a lifetime's worth of access, only to have the servers shut down because the devs used up all the money, or even just to feel it was wasted if I move on to something else.

And when you get down to it, how would you price it? Too low, and the people that have been here a long time would feel entitled to having it given to them. "I've paid over $500 on this game. Why do I have to pay more when Joe Newbie gets to play forever for just $400?" Too high, and the monthly fee looks very appealing. Keep it as it is, perfection.

Maybe you should call up your ISP or your health/car/whatever insurance and have them sell you a lifetime account while you're at it... >.>

Your second shot reminds me of one I have... some people are much too concerned with getting that perfect hourglass figure...

still can't believe he leaked the secret to flying... >.>

Arc Name: Truth and Punishment
Author: @faldette
Publish Number: 140158
Description: "Yenth is requesting some help with a little problem regarding some otherworldly beings. Part 3 of Faldette's Secret"
Length: "Very Long" 5 missions (2 Defeat alls, 5 EBs)

This one actual reveals quite a bit... mainly as a clue, since that's where I could best fit the info, and that's where it made sense to put it. >.>

Arc Name: A Nemesis Love Story
Author: Faldette
Publish Number: 38754
Morality: Villainous
Description: Adelle, an Arachnos widow, has a crush on Lord Nemesis. Will you help her win her man?
Length: 5 Missions (Most are pretty short and can be stealthed. First is a kill all, small map. Some EBs, but no AVs.)

This is probably the easiest of the arcs I've published... and its not really part of the series, though it makes some references to it...

Now that we're on these new boards, editing this post is now available, so updates to this series will be posted here. Due to my dissatisfaction with the fourth arc in the series (and the fact that only the first three showed any sign of being played), I have decided to remove that part altogether, so part 5 is now part 4, etc. There are also a few technically small changes to some of the other parts in the series.

Arc Name: A Minor Vexation
Author: faldette
Publish Number: 1591
Description: Help Faldette recover some lost magic items. (Part 1 of Faldette's Secret)
Length: 5 missions (No Defeat Alls; Two EBs)

Arc Name: A Major Vexation
Author: faldette
Publish Number: 1602
Description: Help Faldette track down Dr. Xanthem, leader of the Crey-wannabe Red Wind Ind. (Part 2 of Faldette's Secret)
Length: 4 Missions (No Defeat Alls; Multiple EBs near the end.)

Arc Name: Truth and Punishment
Author: @faldette
Publish Number: 140158
Description: "Yenth is requesting some help with a little problem regarding some otherworldly beings. Part 3 of Faldette's Secret"
Length: "Very Long" 5 missions (2 Defeat alls; 5 EBs, some optional)

Arc Name: Vexing the Soul
Author: @faldette
Publish Number: 256812
Description: Faldette continues to search for the pages missing from her book, but odd situations begin to arise. Part 4 of Faldette's Secret.
Length: 4 missions (No defeat alls; No EBs, at least none you can fight)

Arc Name: Stronger than Water
Author: @faldette
Publish Number: 256852
Description: Concerned over Yenth's heritage, Ambrosius asks for you to investigate. A greater peril is revealed. Part 5 of Faldette's Secret.
Length: 5 missions (1 defeat all; No EBs)

Regarding rewards for running and creating custom content, there's already a system already in the game that I think could be very effectively adapted: Merits. Completion of customs arcs/missions could reward merits to both the creator and those running it. Those whose arcs are more popular would obviously get more, so people would be encouraged to make good arcs. The merits could be tied to rewards similar to those given in the RWZ or the winter event; temp powers, costume pieces, and badges all from a content merit store.

Missions would presumably give normal or somewhat reduced reward, and obviously custom arcs would not give the enhancement/recipe reward that those made by the devs give. Too much exploitableness there....

Very nice idea.
