This is one of my regular requests for some citizenship perks to Muspar'i. Some suggestions:

- Permanent passport
- Citizen only shops (not Inn's) (Maybe a tattoo shop)

That's all I've got for now. Obviously, a faster barge would be nice but I believe it's been stated that will not happen.

Also.. can we get a word from any GM saying whether the Muspar'i area is currently owned by anyone now that Porlock is gone?

Also, is there anything in line for development? More shops (We could use shields, sheaths, a customizable shop like the one in Rossgallan or in Haven) for either jewelry, local wear (S'kra and Sand Elven gear).

Any information would be great, even if it's that "Nobody loves Muspar'i, stop posting." But with that being said, I'm going to come up with a shop idea or two and post here later today.

Thanks

Since Muspar'i is so far out, how about a permanent moongate out there similar to the one between Taisgath and Ratha? Only make it citizen-only.

Zuh? There is a permanant Moongate? Where are the two points?

I can't imagine why it would be a secret. It's not like you have to solve a puzzle to get there.

Then again, without travel scripts, most people probably wouldn't know about it.

agreed. since even though we can pay our "dues" to therengian cities, we don't get therengian "perks".





It's a number, it gets bigger. That's the whole DR experience right there

I REALLY wanna see more merchants like that. Awesome idea.

Oh man, a shop like that would rock my world. There's just not enough robes and gamantangs around. Practically all S'Kra seem to end up wearing the same six or seven things. Plus, robes. Robes!

Please oh please. That's awesome. It must have taken a while to put together, and I appreciate the work that must have gone into it.

Yes, a shield shop like Hib would be awesome!

Please add these two shops!

Basilisc/Tiesse,

Thank you again for everything you all do. I have already seen an influx of residents and action in Muspar'i due to some of the changes you all have put in. When I was training for 100th circle I spent a couple of weeks at a time in Muspar'i. Sometimes, the only person I would come across was Alexii.

Now, I see different and new faces here almost every day. It's amazing. I love it. This has always been my favorite area, I've been a faithful citizen and defender for as long as I've played this character.

Would you all be willing to consider some citizenship perks? Currently, being a citizen of the Velaka is the only one that does not offer any perks (to my knowledge). Please?

- An additional barge, powered by more yeehar that goes to and from faster than the other barges.
- A custom tattoo shop with city emblems, house crests, other ideas (if it comes to that)
- Citizen only areas
- Permanent passport (I think this was shot down because it is gained through Therengia?)
- Citizen only hunting area, maybe a citizen only library with a greater array of books? Something maybe as large as the Imperial Library (since Muspar'i is a city of scholars)

Thank you for your consideration. A response, no matter the answer, would be greatly appreciated.

>>Wait, what do Forfedharans get?

According to Elanthipedia, they get access to additional home sites.

I think they should get more. But at least they have something for now.

I do want to get some citizenship perks out there, without a doubt. The first citizenship perk will actually be coming along soon. It's a trivial perk, I have to admit, and certainly not enough to get people rushing to join the province, but if nothing else it will give you all solid proof that citizenship in Velaka will have some purpose down the line.

What needs to be kept in mind though is that citizenship perks are, as named, perks. They're supposed to be neat little fringe benefits that make the locals happy. What we're focusing on right now is acquiring the locals to make happy, as you've seen from the new hunting and housing. There will very assuredly be more of that to follow. Once we're content that people are coming to Velaka to stay, not just to see the shiny new stuff, we'll be focusing more on the citizenship perks.

That said, I have no problem discussing the possible perks.

There won't be an additional barge for Citizens, sorry. You're going to have to make do with the one that everyone rides, or take your complaints up with the Sand Elves.

Citizen shops are a reasonable request, so I'll keep that in mind. I won't even start to speculate at what will be in those shops, but I'm sure that one (or more) will exist eventually. The same goes for citizen areas, though for that I do have an idea in mind...

The perma-passport thing sounds kind of neat. I haven't been involved in any conversations about it, so I won't attempt to promise to make it (since someone else may have already decided, with good reason, to not do it) but I can say I'll look into the idea.

I'm not nuts about citizen-only hunting or a citizen-only library, since that would probably actually discourage visitors. We want to give everyone a reason to come to Velaka, not just the people who already live there.

As far as any perks that don't directly apply to Velaka, I'm going to give a tentative "no." The purpose of citizenship perks is to encourage folks to come and stay, not come and join, then go use their perks elsewhere.

Okay, getting access to additional home sites for Forf makes absolutely no sense since only Premie's can have homes. Sorry, but I question the accuracy of Elanthipedia on that one. Why would something only premie's can use be a citizen perk? However, I've stopped begging for a citizenship perk for the area and this is the Muspar'i folder, so moving on now.

>However, I've stopped begging for a citizenship perk for the area

Wait, do you mean that you're a regular Forfedharan? You mean people actually move into P5? D: I've been away for too long.



Anyhoo, was Veleka's taxes tied to Therengia for mechanical simplicity? Does that still need to be the case? It just feels the place is sufficiently removed enough to have their own tax system. Veleka doesn't count as Therengian territory, right? Just colloquially we count them the same?

>>The only thing I'll say about the upcoming perk is that it's best described with the phrase, "huh, that's neat." Don't get too excited, it's just something that I threw in during the design of the area.

You do realize that before you two came along and started showing interest that Muspar'i hadn't seen any kind of attention in like...ever? And now we have new shops/services, multiple housing, events and interaction from Musparan figureheads, people showing up, a nice water source, more citizens, more recall/perceive histories and much much more?

Your version of "huh, that's neat." is my version of AWESOMESAUCE! because I love the area that much. I know, I may very well be deranged. But it's to your benefit.


- Terra

It's true.

:-(

Best of all, if I pass out, I'll shut up. Win/win.


- Terra

>>I'd like to see some of these.

http://www.elanthipedia.com/wiki/Recall_History

I cataloged most of the Muspar'i RECALL HISTORY spots. The PERCEIVE HISTORY up there is not on that page, but if you want to walk through any of this information in-game or want to see any of the perceives, just find me IG or IM me at DRMeigus.

Mechanically it might not be possible, but I think a neat citizen perk would be a reduction in the exchange fees when changing money from foreign denominations to the local one. Fees for changing local to foreign would remain the same. The justification being that presumably if you're changing all your kronar to lirum in Musparii you're either 1) going to deposit it in the local bank or 2) blow it on fancy perfume at the local store. I think this would be a neat perk for every province really.

Being a trade city I think it would be awesome if you could shop in (almost) every store in whatever coin you chose. You'd pay a small convenience fee, but if you're really to lazy to find the bank you can buy the desert shroud with dokoras if you want to.
