Ailish, you're going to go places! I can tell!

I love that the lull is over the summer, and the uptick is when people go back to school, heh (although, part of that could be "yay, kids are back in school"). Ailish what you mention has come up, and I think there's some support for it. One obsta…

Replace with scarlet "D" on forehead imo. I kid... There are so many much more squicky things that aren't documented, it actually is kind of weird that this is, and while some people probably just don't care, it's really clear that a lot of people …

I RP too
It is just that the RP here is different than many MUDs (and I really like it). Anyway, if you are interested in playing … -
Well, I definitely would not say that there is no RP in Imperian (there is actually a lot, but it is often a different KIND of RP than in many games, at least what I see in AM/Antioch is). Also, the game is very combat oriented (which I love), and …

Zaveesi I've seen you about (hi). I forget if you are in the circle ring or not. If you aren't, might want to ask. We do try to grab people and invite them, but honestly, sometimes people actually don't want to join (which is fine, but I think is…

(Quote) No, definitely not (just to clarify since it may not have been clear). What I was saying is that many "normal" players who aren't on everyone's blacklist or anything seem to have plenty of trouble moving around. I have not had…

How would it be any different from businesses that do that all the time though?

Okay, so for you Iniar, you really do think it's more the "undoable" thing. Eh, I don't believe it for this. I truly don't, so yeah, we disagree there. Even a small business can buy/set up customer tracking and profiling these days (and usually h…

Sure, and I've actually spoken up in favour of many of the ideas in this thread, so as far as I am concerned, you SHOULD be able to go that route (circle hopping), and I am fine with making it even more financially palatable, but for some reason a l…

(Quote) Haha, I didn't think about it that way! Now that I do, all of the above!EDIT: also, why are we so pro circle hopping (like, almost tunnel vision on it)? Because that's sort of what people have already …Switching came up on ring recently, and, for example, one of the circles apparently has high fines and a fair amount of bureacracy to deal with, and... I'd just go dormant before bothering with that. I have almost zero patience for that kind of thi…Well, honestly, having this (and only this) as our preferred vehicle for taking our game play in a totally new direction kind of locks us into circle switching on the same char (which is already what most people do, because it overwhelmingly makes m…(Quote)Rasca, I agree, and I do understand IRE's model. It actually comes up quite a lot, and in short, IRE is almost utterly dependent on "whales" (i.e. us semi-crazy and legit insane people who spend thousands upon thousa…(Quote)No offense, but Wys isn't admin... and admin hasn't said "hell no"... frankly, if they're at all interested, it's probably very doable. I mean, if they don't do it, it won't be because it's "impossible", it will be because they don't want to/think …What about some sort of "customer loyalty" discount on purchases for additional characters based on overall player purchase history (tallied in dollars, probably MUCH higher discount if you've bought Matt a used car or two).

From my (customer) end, I am willing to keep shelling out money for a game I like, but once I've invested…Fine fine... although, I have a feeling my untargeted use of the word "idiot" would have gone completely unnoticed if I were not female (unless it has somehow transitioned from "mild swear word" back to "actual slur" when I wasn't looking)... Anyway…I think considering the lesson stuff is good, but it isn't enough. And honestly, that is the bit IRE has actually done a decent job of addressing already (although there is still room for switching things up to make prof switches feel more appealin…I'd really like to be looked at as my customer profile, and start from there. That could mean so many things, but the central idea is that I'd love it if IRE had a doodad that looked at my overall purchase history (or at the very least, my overall …Need to make the shard research thingy that allows you to see how many people are with a person when you farsee available to every circle somehow.

Obvio…Yeah, it might come to that, for sure - although, our memberships are a notable and incredibly successful exception.Part of what I am saying is that you are suggesting a particular approach to the problem, but if we're going to discuss this, there are a huge number of possible options and considerations, and I'd like to consider them all.
