I am after a whole bunch of cushions for mass seating area, as the camper's paradise collection don't allow more than 1 of each type.

But sadly I'm unable to pend thousands upon thousands of gold on cushions because I've only just discovered Boinar Borinsbane (Brogendenstein Dwarf Trader outside Cordor's arena) doesn't sell them anymore.

Were they taken off for a specific reason? Is there any way to bring them back? Does some secret merchant still have them but it's so secret noone knows about them?

They lag the hells out of the server, especially mass seatings. It's a good thing they've been removed.

Ah, fair enough. I'll just have to persuade some people to use up the benches, chairs, stools and cushions then. Ultimately creating the same amount of lag but without the nice uniform look.

Well, those PLC cloners we worked on yesterday? They'll never spawn anything that is actually sittable. For example, if you capture a bench or cushions that you can sit on, then when you spawn them again, you won't be able to sit on them.

Simple, and intended, solution: Make sure your guests bring their own cushions.

Yea, i was thinking that too. 'Tis a shame.

Yep yep. I was hoping to do tat. Or have enough of the other "settlers" provide them too. It's just more hassle and creates just the same problem as using the one-shot cushions that were removed for that reason. Essentially making the removal of them pointless when encountering situations like this.

Another thing I noticed in the past when creating events is people seem a bit shy about sitting on pre-laid cushions that have "Random Name's Cushions" on it. Human psychology is truly weird.

Anyway, if it comes to it, would I be able to somehow purchase some cushions if I promise not to abuse the lag potential of them? *holds back an evil laugh*

Buy a whole bunch of the paradise variety and pass them out as they come through the door (area entrance).

..then it only costs you the gold amount for them and you can save those DC's for a rainy day.

I meant gold, anyway. But dayam that'd be expensive. And weighty. Worth a thought, though.

Uh... not since the rule change *hides the sign*

So, would it be a good idea to put some kind of request out in the appropriate forum? No DC but GP request for cushions? Or would it be not worth the administrative time?

Wtf? That's news. I just bought one with two sittable cushions and I've used it several times, successfully. I just went back in game and tried it twice more, and it still works.

If this is true, would it be possible to request a seating area spawner? But only for, say 4 weeks. After that have it taken away. I say this because I'm hoping to get one for cheap. I've only got 1 DC. I haven'd had a DC for a very very long time. Maybe a month. Even though I've been constantly engaged in decent RP and used the wand when I know there are DMs on. usually more than one on. I swear I used to get DCs way more often before the wands were put in.

Though, I guess I should revalue my own RP.

The item spawner is 3 DCs and includes 3 placeables. Additional placeables are 1 DC each.

And DCs have little to do with your RP and more to do with the availability of non-busy DMs in your time slot.

Eh? The item spawner is 8 DC and costs 1 extra per item... (Uhh, I think. Lemme check)

The PLC cloner/spawner is 1 DC per PLC up to 10 PLCs.

That was what I thought originally, but I was told minimum of 3 when I bought my awning the other day. If that be incorrect, matey, I'd like to redo my PLC and get 2 DCs back.

"No refunds as a result of player error" ...or some such. ;(

Although I know i had read that somewhere, not sure if it applied to all DC's...

You might want to wait a bit til the job system is in. You can take carpenter or tailor and produce your own furniture.

I can't wait to see how that new job system will turn out.

But unless the system will be out in the next week, I will have to get my seating done in other means.

If furniture will be able to be produced so liberally in the future, why doesn't Boinar still have the cushions if it will just cause the same issues?

Why not contact a DM beforehand and try to organise them setting it up for you?

The items you make have the same limitation as the current ones. You can make 'em for free, thouigh, so you can take along a batch and give them to your guests.
