Do it.

Pretty disappointed on how this' been carried out. I mean, seriously... it'd take like 30 seconds to make a post saying, "No way kiddos! We were just teasing! We're really deleting the database right now as I post this!"

After typing the aforementioned paragraph, I realized I payed for my account. So I'll log in now.

[Fangor]

Welcome back! I did the same thing. "I'll come back when I don't have to pay!

...

Ah, screw it. *pays*"

EDIT: While I'm posting, for any GM that sees, if StoryPoints go automatic, it'd be nice if the costs were cut a whole bunch. 250sp for a custom name is a bit silly, if you ask me. Reducing those costs would be a good way to get people to pay for premium instead of sticking with a free account.

Okay, it's 4am here and I've been going through the Funniest Moments of Monsters and Guess that situation threads and decided that we need free accounts so we can be active enough to have those threads active again. Because I was literally crying from laughter most of the time. I think I miss the Triad most of all.

As expressed by Wyrhtan here, development is dependent on the unfortunately very limited amount of time our GMs are able to acquire and dedicate. There are also other people involved in the development of free accounts that are in similar boats.*

Revisions to SP pricing is being planned, but that does not equate to an across the board deduction to SP cost. A lot of the prices currently listed were fairly calculated when considering required staff effort and balance. That being said, there will certainly be cheaper options and alternatives, including new SP options as well.*

*: I want to stress that none of these are official statements, and things may be subject to change further into development.

Work is being done, folks. We regret it's taking this much time, and also long to see "the good ol' days" of bustling lairs, arenas, and fanes return soon. Hang in there!

Triad Pride 4Eva!

[Redric]

Says the one with no Triad Pride in his sig.

[Fangor]

I assume you two'll come back when free accounts come in? Yes? Good.

[Redric]

I have been so busy lately that I doubt it. If I did though, it wouldn't be as Shadar. Can't RP him his character like I used to, and the GR world isn't big enough to sustain a character like him.

If I didn't delete Rugh I'd still play him. Plus I have a SM martial artist I used to enjoy.

[kaoslace]

I'm so secure in my Triad Pride I don't need it in my sig. My very posts overflow with it's prideful essence and... pridiness...

I don't know if I'm only just getting it, but anyone else seen the top 3 games page yet?

Based on your game-play of the past month we've created a top 3 of games you appear to be getting the most out of. You are now given the chance to (once) reorder these 3 games, to account for situations where the game-play is not the best way to indicate appreciation:
...
Once you've reordered them (or not, if you think the current order is fine as it is), follow the That's it link.

I mean, I only play GR, so obviously that was the top of my list. Does this happen often? Because I don't recall ever seeing it before, but the other two options I was given were ICO and Hegemony, which I don't think I've ever played.

[Usuichii]

If I recall, it's sort of a quarterly thing with Skotos? And if you don't actively play any Skotos games, it'll take the last 2 (or 3) games you've played. Hegemony ends up being a default, by the looks of it. The other game is likely just the last one you've played, even if it was years ago.

Maybe.


I'd be interested in seeing the results of those though. Would be neat to see where every game is at.
