You'll have to wait and see!
I know forging is no longer supposed to be particularly cheap, and I get that, but I think it kinda derails forging when everybody needs the same comm and that comm is as rare as Lacquer. It's not the cost, it's that I wonder if people will be able to forge enough to keep their shops stocked with this little supply and this much demand.
In practice though, this is pretty unsatisfying, and the tokenized information, by its nature, has to be pre-defined (at least in its scope) so that the game knows what the information the token represents means. That turns espionage into more of a separate 'theft' kind of game than anything that would feel like espionage, since none of the actual discussions among, for instance, city leaders could be tokenized.
As a trivial example, say I buried treasure A in room X. The game could tokenize that info. Easy to say, "If Bob-the-adventurer has this token, then Bob-the-adventurer now knows where the treasure is buried." When we could have some process whereby Bob can "tell" another character about that token, creating a copy attached to the new character. And then you could mechanically listen in during the process, and overhear them, also gaining a copy of the token.
That's not even a good example, of course, because the player of Bob and the other characters could just go on skype and effectively copy that info from Bob's player to the other players that way, and then there's nothing stopping them from going to room X and just digging up the treasure.
The only way tokenizing info like that works is for situations where we're willing to restrict character actions based on not having a particular token, and I'm sure you can see how that effectively means that in Achaea, the only info that would be tokenized for this purpose is really trivial stuff that is very 'formatted' and already pretty much purely mechanical (so, for instance, nothing to do with politics, planning raids, etc etc). And then why bother? It's espionage about stuff that isn't really important to anyone, and it won't even really feel like espionage.
It'd feel more like theft, as it so happens, which is interesting...except that the tokens would represent knowledge that in Achaea doesn't really matter, and so you're stealing stuff that is a bit pointless.
1) Would you like to address the possibility of Kashar finally being a thing? (I KNOW YOUR SECRETS)
2) More intel on Fuschal, Myrinia and Crysinn pl0x (assuming I'm not foolish and just pulled these names out of some old af event)
3) Are ye opening up Thornwall Hold and/or Aster Keep soon?
4) #RiseOfKashar?
5) Temple fixes incoming?
6) Any statement on the upcoming accessibility of Therophage (specifically Kashar and the outlying civilization)
7) I ken haz Kashar?
8) I really want Kashar
Lacquer's managed to price itself substantially lower than it was supposed to be in the villages, so expect that to get fixed! (The algorithm for comm price setting in villages is super old, is terrible, and appears to always result in comm prices dropping to near the bottom of their permitted range.)
Are you pleased with all the class overhauls you all have done so far? Are there any that missed or have fallen short of what you were going for originally?
As far as I know, there has not been any old houses carried over during the renaissance. Has the stance on allowing houses to stay(as long as they evolve/everyone agrees) been changed, or is deletion pretty much the standard?
Are these new areas gonna be like next few days? Or is this another tradeskill type thing?
