I'm glad there is still a bit of feedback on my old idea.

Once I get back in the game ill be glad to volunteer if there is still enough people who want to do this.

The idea is nice and dainty, but it will take a bit of work to put in place. Instead of doing so, how about putting the items on to trade or sell in the Trade and Market Hall? Make use of the forum. Rather than selling it to the NPCs pawnshop, hang on to those items and sell them on the forum or trade them; specify what you're looking to trade them for and set up a meeting place IC. Furthermore, it will give you more opportunity to meet other characters within your level. Who knows, they might end up as your traveling companions. :)


In the meantime I dont see how that woudlent be a bad Idea, and its alot less work to do somthing like that.

Ok, I think what is confusing people a bit is the specifics... how low level? what low level items would be offered? What low level items would be accepted?

If you are talking about the standard crafted items to be offered, there are plenty of guilds as well as independent crafters that sell things... many of them take credit or trade in some way.

So, the real crux of the issue is exactly what items that are usually pawned are you talking about? If you mean things like rusted pitchforks and other random dropped items, it raises DS' question, who's going to want that? If you are talking about other gathered CNR, there's plenty of people who will trade things that low levels can get - silk, aloe, eggs, knuckles, etc. If you are talking about other crafted items there might be some market for that - most players who really take up crafting at low levels tend to craft what their characters' need, and are less likely to need to barter with other low level crafters - and, since people level up really quickly these days, there isn't a huge low level base for the idea to work with. That said, to answer your original question, if you'd like to get it started, I think just starting a thread with something like "barter board - //lvl x and under only please" And allow people to post "I have leather armors and want to trade for a bronze weapon" or whatever it might be is really all you'd need to get it started.



A main set of items that made me bring this up was CNRs that were generally not taken as credit, such as lesser animal pelts and other items such as lesser magical items that higher characters don't usually want to trade you for since they don't need them.
but say if no one buys the lesser magic items or crafting resources for new crafters we have, there will always be the possibility of more new players to come in and see things that they can work for when they are limited on what they can do in the world.  

and crafters usually do just do there own thing, its just an opportunity for crafters to maybe start trading early. or maybe for rp reasons they don't or cant gather there own resources (like there cripples initaly or jsut other odd reasons).

I hope that cleared things up.

adding to what I said, I will build a more specific list of what items im talking about.

The lower level characters.



Thank you!
I didn't realize I misread!


if enough people are interested I think it would be good to discuss how to get this started.

Pm me if you want to help.

I think it's a good idea, Pandapuff, but I'm curious as to who will be buying the items deemed valueless by higher-level players?


Well as I mentioned before I will definitely participate in this and anyone else who wants to would be great. helping to run a store like this is definitely not going to be as costly as it would be as a ordinary store, and this is definitely going to benefit our community and increase our chances in getting more people to play because other people that start to play are instantly immersed and involved into the world *and* the community.

a more balanced way where everyone can have fun, even the slow to progress low levels who have limited time to play.

and I know I cannot perfectly run this thing entirely by myself, so anyone else who wants to help me get this idea up and running would be greatly appreciated. its a great way to help new players without having to help them all the time.

There is a few player run stores that either gives you credits or pay you cash for things you bring that they need.

What I'm wondering here is what type of low level store you are referring, for what type of gear? Most shop will do anything over copper to sell, since copper is dealt by npc shops. Bronze gear being made on order.


The Items im refering to are the items that usualy are Pawned since they have no value in guild stores because they are low level and easily obtainable by higher levels, thats why I think a store made for lower level players (especially players new to the RP experance) can feel more involved and also get a small little bit of money.

Alot of players usually want items that low levels cant get. this just is an idea to put a little more purpose or value in every item then it just being something that you either hafto drop or pawn because nobody wants it.
I think something like this would also put a little more realism and enhance the RP experience *earlier* in the game on items we might not really care about unless we actually lived in a world like that. like a good bundle of pelts from an animal for some money so you stay warm or etc. would osund like a good deal to me.


By the way my grammar isn't the best, work with me ill try to make my responses as clear as possible.

Well, I think it would be good to have a store for lower levels to purchase, sell, trade (probably more trade) to obtain items that are a little better then what you could find from your npcs.

I think mainly it would give Players something to do, because It can be boring being a low level because most of the items you can obtain most stores wont take credit for, and it can be hard to find a good party to work with your time were you can get a chance to get decent equipment, or that an area could be too dangerous. cant really help most of those things.

I just think a player driven store would give players something to do, get the lower players into something early in the game so they feel more involved in our community, get them into trading and also give new players a little bit of gold. sortof giving lower players a better flowing economy of there own.

Its still really just an idea which is why I brought it to this thread.
but if this actually is a good idea and something were we could work something around with it, ide like to help get something like this started.

and thanks for the responses! :D

I think it would be a good idea to find someone as Chazzler said to sortof be your translator.

but there are definitely some ways you could work around something like that.

Development Journals and Discussion / Re: Jereth's Pocket Book
« on: October 01, 2010, 02:42:48 pm »
Jereth, after a few days of rest (and some scrubbing of the ink) returns
to his studys of his book entitled to him by his instructor. Although he hasn't
slept relatively well for the passing days, Jereth still feels greatly under
pressure, causing him to feel a little ill and greatly fatigued.The sky is dark
and the air is cold. The halfling shivers as he endures the cold.  His eyes are
heavy as he gazes into the book of magic, the basics Al'Noth, that was indeed
entrusted to Jereth by his honored instructor for extensive research and study.
Jereth indefinitely takes his education in the matter magic very seriously and
in his determination he will succeed through the long night. [INDENT] Jereth in
deep in his studies,
his eyes are getting to him again when, suddenly, he is rudely interrupted by a
scurrying little rat. The creature has caused him no apparent harm so Jereth
proceeds to solve the problem ever so cautiously not to injure the rat. He slowly
moves toward the rude creature. He gets a hold of a near by broom accidentally left
on one of the tables near the rat. He keeps loose and agile. Jereth knows how fast
these creatures can move when they are startled. Jereth whispers, "Be still little
pest," as he raises the broom just a little higher, but not too much. The idea is to
capture the rat and release it outside. He brings the broom down quickly, SUCCESS!
The creature has been captured and all is well as he travels down stairs to the
first floor and releases the rat out side, no longer distracting him. [INDENT]
After his little adventure, Jereth returns to his studies. The hour is extremely
late, the moon is a crescent, and the stars are not very visible from the window
across from him. Jereth looks out into the sky and sees that there is an abundance
of clouds outside covering the stars and, soon, the moon. It almost looks to be a
storm. Jereth realizes he still has studding to do and returns to his book. But,
after a few minutes, the the wind picks up and rushes in through the open window
blowing his papers and the pages in his book. Jereth rushes to the disturbance and
uses his entire body weight to close the doors and lock it for the wind was very
fierce. The rain started to pound on the tower, Jereth could hear and see the heavy
 rain drops hit the wooden doors that he had just locked. Now Jereth was left,
cleaning up and putting together the mess left by the fierce wind.
"No more...distractions," Jereth uttered in a weak and fatigued tone,
"I must...continue." Now the halfling's eye lids were weights over his eyes,
unbearable. He was tired, in desperate need of rest, but he needed to keep studding.
 A drop of saliva came from his hanging mouth and dripped onto the table. "Maybe after
 a little rest I'll feel better," he tells himself. As he sleeps, Jereth's mind wanders.
Jereth finds himself on the ground. His vision is quite fuzzy. After a little stumbling
around, he finds himself on the floors of the Great Library. He is bewildered when he
realizes he is indeed the size of a rat. He spats out, "What trickory is this." He hears
a snister voice answer him, "No, no, this is no trickory." It was a gigantic rat dressed
in his own attire. It almost reminded him of the very rat that he had released outside,
earilier.The Rat slowly moves toward Jereth. He picks up a near by broom accidentally left
 on one of the tables near the rat.He keeps loose and agile. The Rat whispers,
"Be still little pest," as he raises the the broom just a little higher, but not too much.
He brings the broom down quickly onto Jereth, smashing. You could almost hear his bones
crunching. Jereth suddenly awakens to find everything is alright; there's a pool of saliva
on the desk, there are no rats to be found, and he is returned to normal. It was all but a
dream. His mind was wandering and now it was time to continue studding. Jereth felt better
the short rest, even though he had a most interesting and terrible dream. after a long while of studying
Jereth finaly finishes the second volume and begins to feel a basic grasp of what hes learning and is
ready to tackle the final and no doubt the most challenging tome.

         [INDENT][/INDENT][INDENT]Jereth sits in a small study somewhere in the labyrinth of book shelves in the tower academy
Library. Crumbled papers filled with notes ans ripped paper surround the little halfling in his study.
He stares blankly at the book, attempting to take a short mental nap. nearly feeling overloaded with
all the knowledge he is nearly stuffing inside his brain..."maybe its a spell that's making me feel like so..
now now, no time for excuses." I still have much work to do on this chapter." then he says in frustration
"Oh fiddlesticks this is only a *chapter* this isn't even the entire book?!" The Librarian nearly appears
out of air close to right next to him and with an extremely agitated face puts one finger to her lips then
immediately walks quickly to some destination as if she had something very important to do. Jereth now feels
nervous and frustrated and begins to chew on his quill pin and looks about his area. He notices another student,
a young and beautiful elf woman. Jereth decides he shouldn't be a hermit forever, while walking by, Jereth gives
her a friendly smile, but she instead wrinkles her nose and keeps on walking. Jereth frowns with his head down
for a moment then pops up, "Oh dear!" he says and he searches for a mirror in his traveling bag, he finds his
small mirror shard and smiles realizing that he has black ink all over his teeth "Popycocks!" he says in frustration
as he looks for something to remove it before it permanently stains his teeth. he immediately grabs his small cup of wine
and attempts to swoosh it but accidentally sneezes making him spit wine all over his book page. he panics and grabs
another crumbled sheet of paper from his study and attempts to wipe off the wine. instead ending up smudging the ink and
the wine all over the paper. Jereth freezes, "well at least Ive already read both sides" looking about for anyone nearby
he grabs a corner and begins to slowly rip the page out, there is still alot of ink and with ink sloshing around on the page
he attempts to do it as quietly as possible the firs.....The Libation pops out for ma shelf to look at Jereth, Jereth immediately
panics and closes the book with a slam then realizing what hes done to those two pages he pulls his hair in frustration and goes
to take a nap for the day. the next day he returned to his book borrowed to him by his instructor Chakar, he slowly opens to
see his damage. two of he pages are stuck together. Jereth decides to ignore it and go on with his study's. many many
more countless days of studying, sometimes not sleeping very long at all. after his many days of studying the first volume
Jereth begins to feel like he understands what hes reading somewhat.

Threas, Novlar 26, 1464

The Hooded Figure in the Redlight cave still haunts my conscious, I cannot eat nor can I even blink an eye of sleep. Its voice is still in the back of my head. and I cant help but think over and over, Why it wanted me.

Could it of been related to the Lansing Family?

General Discussion / Re: Regarding the Character Submission Process
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:59:17 am »
I agree.
we need more Character Approvers
I know it sounds more easier said then done since the character approvers also need to have a pretty good amount of knowledge about the Lore of Layonara. Most of the approvers Ive had have been great with helping me develop my character, and I didnt have any problems when submitting my first character. But the lack of approvers definitely is an issue

and if they do get new approvers, I hope that they are good ones. like most of the ones we have now, will be very helpful and wont second guess.


BTW: I know you've decided to withdraw your character. but if this point does happen to get across you should try again. its a nice Bio.
