in Mechanics/Reim CategoryJust some thoughts from me on the subject.
– Group size really didn’t come into question until Reim. I know when we think of old GS, we likely think of the manticore, ghoul master, and tree spirit groups, but there were too many big hunting groups out there because the game actively discourages grouping at later levels beyond just smaller groups. That’s likely by design (it was before my time on staff). Group sizing really should have limits in certain activities, just like other games. It’s not something we’re working on, but it’s something I think about.
– We’re trying to synchronize alt currencies, not expand them. We’ve done this with soul shards and bloodscrip. We decided not to add anything for RoL. I don’t think adding more currencies would be a good thing unless there are some really strong reasons for it.
– No need to rehash the orbs in the store, we’ll leave them in. I’ll add a disclaimer to the store in April so it’s there, and we can add something into one of the verbs in game (likely in REIM).
– Refreshing/adjusting prices at Reim isn’t in the cards currently, as ethereal scrip isn’t the issue we’re trying to solve. You can still run it for all that.
