This may have already been suggested but I can't be bothered to read through 10 pages of posts... Could we have a Trophy for everyone that had a pirate before the merger, saying which Ocean they were born on? I would want to proudly display my "Born on Malachite" trophy on my pirate page :) That way when people say rude things to me on scary viridian and I ignore them it's because they know I grew up somewhere with manners... ;) ---------------------------------------- Kaine, the Dreamer Former King of Sick Man's Dream Former Royal of Fill in the Blank Former Royal of Utopia Former Captain (any every rank below) of Wicked Current drunken bum who occasionally posts when he's bored. |

Ugh. This isn't probably that much of an importance but can we suggest new names more than once? I guess nothing is stopping us but I'd rather not send in 69 suggestions if that's not exactly what you want from us. I realized yesterday that merging the oceans will give me a better chance to find those precious eggs I'm after...watch out Hunter ^^. ---------------------------------------- ~ Sizzly of Emerald ~ Avatar by Aerecura <3 |

Oh egg battle again. You got some excellent competition over here: Tomrizzo and Justjames. :o Edit : I'm a bit confused with the pirate names, so if I have Ooch on Hunter and Ooch on Sage, it will become Ooch-West and Ooch-East? 1. Then I get to rename both of them, yes? 2. Will I be able to rename my main-ocean pirate to just Ooch again if I change the alt-ocean pirate name completely? ---------------------------------------- OOCHBOOCH. Huntard. EMERALD.

I think you would get the effect you're looking for better by putting in a skill requirement for posting job offers on the notice board, since that's where the real problem lies. There's a thread on this somewhere; the best suggestion IMO was requiring distinguished bnav or beating a revised "battle brigands with the navy" mission first. ---------------------------------------- Gurndigarn on Emerald Ocean "Oh, come on.

No. You will end up with Ooch and Ooch-east, assuming that you started on Sage and we end up with the a configuration that almost everyone who's mentioned it has asked for. Ooch-east will have the option of a free rename, but Ooch will not. If you started on Hunter but we get the configuration we want, you will end up with Ooch and Ooch-west. ---------------------------------------- Gurndigarn on Emerald Ocean "Oh, come on.

Q: If I have more than three pirates on my subscriber account, how much labor will I get per day? A: We will increase the amount of labor to 48 hours per day for all subscribed accounts on the Midnight/Cobalt ocean, regardless of how many pirates you have. If I am reading this correctly, it means subbed accounts will now have 24 hours LESS per day? We already have labor shortages on both Midnight and Cobalt, how is this "helping" us ? ---------------------------------------- Mommawolf, lurking on most oceans Captain, Blackwolf Marauders of Midnight, now Cerulean Queen, Victory Raiders of Midnight, now Cerulean cmdrzoom said:

We technically only have 36hrs per account. Although for those people who do "Labour Exchanges" with pirates on the other Sub Ocean, yes this would mean 24hrs less. On another note, you stated (somewhere) Hermes Wrote:

You're assuming that everyone who subs works on both oceans. It decreases overall labor if you play both oceans, but increases it if you only play one. Now, I don't know if that is going to help any, since I have no clue how many people stay active on both oceans as opposed to only one. But it's a consideration, at least. ---------------------------------------- Gurndigarn on Emerald Ocean "Oh, come on.

First off I think it's really good that OOO are doing something to help keep the game alive. Secondly, I know that this has been mentioned already but I think it's important so I'm putting my support behind this suggestion. If cades are going to be closed for a month placing shoppes should also be closed during this period. 4 weeks and 8 shoppes of uncontested island owning is too good of a deal for winning a blockade the weekend before the merge. ---------------------------------------- Flar S.O. of Cruentus Morpheus King of RM |

I don't see how this could possibly work, given the differences in payment types and the economies, unless you're suggesting merging them and then changing both to the same payment type. ---------------------------------------- Redjenny, Now merged with Health Nutz

More likely people play mainly on one ocean, and log in once a week on the other to keep labor active there. How many I don't know.

Will this be taken into consideration when my active and well develop pirate name is shared with another who has only able stats and doesn't own anything else besides maybe bedroll and rat, but was last seen less than 2 years ago. Dipping the scales so that i would get the normal name without the suffix even though my pirate is younger? ---------------------------------------- Emerald: Ala Meridian: Home (Hunter: Ci ...formerly) |

Changing labor to 48 hours per day per pirate on only one ocean is a decrease no matter how you look at it. Currently if your pirate is at least 2 years old you can buy a 12 month subscription for $50 US and you get 36 hours of labor on Cobalt per day plus 36 hours of labor on Midnight per day = 72 hours per day. How and where (and whether) you use that labor is up to you, but you DO have it if you purchase a subscription. 72 hours per day times 365 days per year = 26,280 hours per subscription. 48 hours per day times 365 days per year = 17,520 hours per subscription. So OOO is asking me to keep paying $50 per year to get 8,760 fewer hours of labor per year. ---------------------------------------- Ryujin says, "zeina = 3 gunner... she + allitara = guns full" |

It is only a decrease to those who labour "trade" on both Midnight and Cobalt - the vast majority do not therefore this is an increase in hours. No con, no actual decrease because the labour you receive is designed around you playing 1 ocean only. 48 hours is fair in my eyes, thank you kindly OOO for taking the sub oceans into consideration when looking at the labour requirements. ---------------------------------------- Calamarie - now also in Obsidian flavour!

I'm sure if it eventuates that 48 hours is not enough labor, they will look at upping it further. ---------------------------------------- Loathe/Forever. Cremate tells ye, "i think i just broke my hymen" |

I guess to address the familiar price dip question, I don't think it can change that much, because with the incoming of familiars you also have the incoming of players. Unless of course Ruffryderr decides to sell his familiar farm. I think it is a great thing that OOO is actually taking action to try and save this game, and I know for me personally I will take my suspenders off of the shelf, so to speak, and try to play more. It will completely make things more interesting, to be sure. ---------------------------------------- http://viridian.puzzlepirates.com/yoweb/pirate.wm?target=Stamkos |

I completely agree with the opinion to expand hearty lists. Mine's maxed, but I have quite a few friends on Sage too. Also, I strongly agree that only people with suffixs added to their names should be able to change their name. It would be too confusing otherwise with everyone else getting their names changed. There'd also be an issue with people trying to claim the names of perhaps more famous members of the community. Although I currently like the population of my ocean, I think this is overall a positive idea. Someone mentioned earlier that we should be awarded trophies stating which oceans we came from after the merge, which I think would be fantastic. ^_^ Also, I disagree with the individual who stated that trophies such as the #1 trophies should be reset. I worked hard for my #1 trophies, I wouldn't want them to be taken away from me simply because there will be more pirates with Ultimate standings after the merge. :\ I don't really have any other concerns regarding this topic. Glad to see OOO are doing something to keep us alive - I honestly didn't see much of a future for Y!PP otherwise. :) ---------------------------------------- .oOo.

Okay, fine, the change puts you at a disadvantage. But it puts every other shoppekeeper at an equivalent disadvantage, and there's absolutely no lore or gameplay-driven reason why you ought to have any given specific number of labour hours. So long as the playing field's equal, you're no more entitled to have 5000 hours per account per year than you would be to have 50 than you would be to have 5 million. (50 and 5 million would break the economy, mind you--but that's a valid gameplay reason, which is a bit weightier than "because I'm used to having more hours".) ---------------------------------------- The Ghost of Oceans Past ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by ponytailguy at Dec 10, 2011 11:04:45 AM] |
