Idea for retail: RL Warehouse.

[Volw]

As you may know, there are no Society Warehouses in the game yet. What I was thinking, once the game goes retail, we could get one account up, sponsored by the RL through paypal.

Toon created on this account, would have a warehouse set up in Tampa and possibly a few other key locations. L/P would be distributed to the old biatches from RL that we all know, and if something goes wrong we'll send Ludi to ... erm ... well, you know what ;)

It would make things slightly easier, as we won't have to wait for other people to go on-line, as they can put all of their production to the Warehouse before logging off.

And ofc, I could use it to sell all the excess materials on AH to make some fat cash

Its a good idea, and while our efforts have shown how tricky it can be to get production flowing we've also found how important it is to do it quickly, as the pirates have taken an early lead in terms of shipping.

But I took the first Mediator Cutter off Fluff today at a cost of 400. It costs 2000 just to buy the newbie ships! The production system is a lot of hassle, but its surely worth it.

Do we know the society warehouses won't be in the game at launch however? That would be ideal.

It was 600!

Keep in mind its for the Legion so I'm absorbing all the costs for wood and the like (i.e. I pay producers full price but charge simply what it costs upon clicking the "create" button in the shipyard) and am charging the price of the individual ship (it creates in batches of 3 for the Mediators).

This is the whole point however to produce quality goods fast and cheap for the Legion. Gold is easy to come by, speed in getting the ships up and running is far more valuable.

Pay if you can, if you can't then it's paid for by the Legion credit office.

send the bill to iron, he always has a vast stash of cash

Money in Pirates is a resource to be harvested just like anything else. We make money, we spend it among ourselves to facilitate production, and outside the group to get things that we need. It's best not to think on it as any sort of measure of success or owt, just because it's so easy to come by.

The true, question is, who's willing to pay ?:D

Right now we have 21 members in the guild, even if onlly 10 makes it into the retail - that's not even 2 quid per month.
