    Concluding, I think that Special Days could be made less rare. It shouldn't mean they are shorter, though.

     

    If this was possile then sure thats great. I'll be all up for that. I was just suggesting a compromise that I hope Ent would go for. If he wants to give more days at 6 hours then trust me I'd love that. :P

     

    The only negative people have really pointed out is the one downside I already stated in the original post. Perosnally I feel the benefits outweigh the one downside.

     

    Nice to see people's opinions and I appreciate all feedback - thought it had died a death for a few days there!

    Ok, emphasis on the special DAYS

     

    So at the moment I understand the rate is roughly 1/6. Which means on average you SHOULD have roughly 8 of each special day a year - 48 hours of each special day per year. Thats pretty long periods to go in some cases, esp as law of averages doesn't always work in our favour in EL and sometimes you go months and months without one of a certain special day.

     

    So how about making the chance for a special day actually be during an EL Day (not a night). i.e every 6 hours at the start of each day but it only last for the duration of the day and you change the chance then to 1/3. Obviously lasting for just the duration of the 'day' is just 3 hours.

     

    Why I hear ye ask?

     

    So everyone likes some of the special days, the last no drop is a good example. This means you get more special days but still the same amount of in game time spent in special days - 1 in 3 every 6 hours for 3 hours is same as 1 in 6 every 6 hours for 6 hours.

     

    Some special days are quite frankly rubbish! :) everyone has their own nemesis whether its day of labour day for the mixers or green day for the harvers. 3 hours of pain is better than 6 hours of pain!

     

    More variety in the game, more frequent special days I think is a bonus and people knowing that "night" in El is always normal means people can plan around this - i.e. run certain events during night in EL and they know a special day won't interrupt.

     

    Generally I think its an awesome idea (if I do say so myself) only slight negative I can think is people are gonna complain that 3 hours of some special days aren't enough - i.e. 3 hours of Sun Tzu isn't as good as 6 but by being a more common event everyone gets a taste on a regular basis and time zones mean you don't always get the bitching - Scholars is always set for US time blah blah.

     

    Hopefully means we see on average each day appearing 16 times a year but still only 48 hours a year of each day.

     

    Ent I'd be interested to know if this helps fit in with this comment?

    Yes, I plan to do that more often.

     

    Hopefully you get the gist. Let me know what you think. :)

     

    Edit: of course if you wanted to increase the chance from 1/3 to something even better that would be even better :D

    So why not skin color all over? *Ahem* ... with the current bodily details, no enhancements, of course!

     

    That's hilarious! :P Every newbie comes to IP naked! First clothes will be reward from Tutorial quest. Hehehe, that made my day, it really did.

     

    I played a MMPOG called Project Entropia (now just called Entropia universe I think) and when you start out all you get is a plain orange jumpsuit which you can take off to the minimum of bra and knickers for girls and boxer shorts for men.

     

    Tailoring (or manufacturing clothes) in that game is a big part of it so people wear all sorts and of course you do get those who do just run around in the underwear which isn't "against the rules" but is frowned upon by the community and just considered bad manners.

     

    It's amazing how many times in local chat you see the words - "Put some clothes on!" :D
