AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

Dear folks,

in order to get the server running more smoothly on a better engine and allow the DM to work full or at least half-time on the server, we will change our system as by today.

The DC system gets removed and we adjust to our MMORPG collegues. Fancy things are still available but instead of DC the prices simply get converted to €. So instead of 10 DC, wings are 10 €. Reskins etc are 5 € and so on.

Of course custom mounts are a bit more pricey once they get in. You can purchase one for only 14,99 €.

You can also buy small custom plots for only 8,99 €.

Faction bases are available from 14,99 € to 29,99 € creation price, depending on the size and amount to work to design and a flat rate of 3,99 € per month.

You get your first 3 character slots for free! Any additional character slot has a standard fee of 4,99 €.

Additionally to custom weapons there will be special weapons and armor available for a little lower, set prices.

Once a month there will be special deals with 20% discount.

Raise dead scrolls and resurrection scrolls are available for special diamonds in game. You can purchsae 100 of these diamonds for only 3,99 € or 1.000 with a small discount for 34,99 €.

Yours sincerly
Amarice

I wish this actually happened to get rid of raise scrolls. A man can dream..

Shut up and take my money.

Sure. You get your tittie dolphin character at a special rate of only 3,49 € but only if you purchase today.

Is it sad that I would actually be okay with this? >.>

Of course, these rates vary depending on which DM you contact. The rest of the team will be posting their rates shortly.

I nearly fell for this until I realised what day it was. :lol:

Do I get a developers discount?

"The DC system gets removed", to me, I just read "We no longer reward RP." Probably not what's meant, but do are DMs still rewarding the players for good RP, or not?

Personally, I don't like this, since I don't have access to any form of paying online.
Meaning after 3 characters, I have no way of new characters. :/

I would like to point out that Amarice forgot to mention an important detail. DM wages.

As of now, the DM team is going to be paid an actual wage that reflects the stellar and dedicated service we provide. Of course, this money has to come from somewhere, which is why any and all DM activity (this including such things as plots, NPC interaction, lore questions, etc.) now comes with a small, reasonable price-tag. We're still hashing out the exact system, but suffice to say it'll work with something like a cost/per hour deal. This does of course cover both personal -and- server-wide plots, so if your character is planning to get involved in one of the larger plots, or is already involved in said plots, please do be prepared for a bill. Nothing too expensive, but quality does cost after all.

We're hoping that this additional cost is understandable, and that all of you players are happy to give a little something back to your hard-working DM team.

@ Terra: You can select between a 50 % discount for items or a 20 % share of the purches of any request that involve the things you designed.

Worry not. Thanks to the banking system of BIC and IBAN which now progressed in 2014, international money transfers can easily be done without online paying services.

Can I play a sentient penguin with a platinum membership?

That's a very special request. That'd normally be at last 14,99 € but for the first day and first purchase we make a special deal of 4,99 € if purchased until midnight GMT.

How much would it cost to play into the current Amia server story to get an alternate-timeline version of Zelly courtesy of the Reyes manipulations on time?

Custom plots start at 8,99 €. This is a rather big plot so normally 19,99 €. As todays first purchase on the first day I can offer a special discount of 12,99 €.

9,99 € if Zelly wears a pink catsuit while doing it.

That's a good offer, I'd take it, Jes.

@Amarice: Question!
1.You said something about those special diamonds. Are these findable in game for free too?
2.Can I have a copy of Zelly to ride on their shoulders as a mount?
3.Currently, most players here have more that 3 toons already! How will this be dealt with since we'll have to pay after 3 free characters?

Zelly in a catsuit? Hell yeah, I'll pay half to see that!

Make it so!

You can also pay for alignment changes, race changes, and rebuilds as a package deal. $12.95! No questions asked.

I will also offer epic loot at a low, low price of $9.99 for mythaled warforged weapons. 19.95 for a Fortification Cloak +5.

And for $59.99 you can have a character leveled to thirty, and equipped with epic gear of your choice! For a limited time only! And for only an extra dollar, be given a fancy title (Sir, Lord, Dark Lord, His Epicsauceness, and so forth!)

------
For those in the Reyes plot, be prepared to pay atleast $599.99. I'll be handling payment plans for that.

1. They will be occasionally rewarded in plots. In our lowbie quests you still get one raise dead scroll awarded in 3 different quests, if you choose make them. They aren't part of the loot system though.

2. Entirely possible but more pricey then mounts of out palette.

3. Players get to choose to reduce their characters to 3 or pay to keep those extras already existing for a special fee of 0.99 € per character.

You know, seeing this I got to appreciate how awesome Amia actually is. :shock:

How much for a harm potion spawner?

Harm Potion Spawner: $11.99. Or you could get two for $14.99.

Do you accept EBT?

I'll take 2.

I'll also point out that in order to add incentive for the staff, 30% of our pay will be commission based and linked to player satisfaction. With that in mind I'd like to announce that I'll be undercutting all of my colleagues by 20% on all pricing!

Yes.

Finally! I might actually get a character to 30 now! Charge it!

Offering a 20% reduction for custom plots starring a hin or gnome in addition to my 10% noob DM discount fee. Sign up today!

Shut up and take my money!!

How much for a permission to play a Half-Demon, Half-Celestial, Unnerfed Sorcerer/Paladin/Blackguard with RDD Class bonuses (Unnerfed version) as a custom script?

Oh, oh, and now pleasepleaseplease can I have that pony I've been asking for since 2006!? The closest thing I ever got to a pony was a "cookie made of ponies" from DM Cobbit! And Tormak took it away from me because it was not a requested custom item! :evil:

*Eternal hatred towards Tormak for that, never shall this be forgotten nor forgiven!*

I'll not lower my price.

However, seeing most of our player population is male, you get a picture of me in a bikini, wearing kitty ears and tail, with your 10th purchase or with buying one of the more expensive special packages.

Can I pay via post stick notes with numbers and the euro sign next to them?

Let it be known, we have made the following cosmic lore corrections Effective Immediately:

•All monster PCs are now dedicated followers of Bro-dog and get terrifying rage for free at first level.

•All others now worship the Gentleman Adventurer and get free Grapnel Gun widgets allowing you to bypass cliffs.

What about countries which don't use $? We can't buy anything?

*cough*

€¥£₩ Also accepted at conversion rates equivalent to the $ cost.

No, we have to get images of Amarice dressed in a cat bikini.

I hope I am not ruining anything or something, but remember the date if you guys haven't figured it out already!

How much does raising permadead characters cost?

I also would like to pay for a race change for the fellow player of Drakos Vek so that he can finally change to elf. Drakos never really made sense as a Drow with his personality and he is already dating Vilraniel. Can't we just say that the silver plague turned his skin white, or does that cost extra?

Don't listen to her! This is absolutely perfectly legit! :twisted:

Amarice,

We cannot allow you to distribute such items before we properly review them and you know it. Kindly post them in the DM forum first for proper review. Thank you!

Happy April.

This is why I love this holiday

I hope the DMs are willing to share with us the horrible, terrible ideas they had for the day and totally abandoned for fear of destroying everything we hold dear.

I considered putting together a fake hak preview update including content such as the Eldritch Knight and open helmets, but I was afraid no one will forgive me for months. :wink:

Ha! That would have been a good one.

I may have had to take a plain ticket to Austria just to have my revenge.

I got us a new web domain! http://www.amianet.org/

Find out what happens when you touch a jalapeno to a hill of beans.

I've seen you in a bikini, the image is burned into my memory cells. With this new system, I assume bribery is not out of the question, being that money talks, and bullshit walks. What can I get, if I donate everything I have, except my cat and my computer? Okay, I'm keeping the Strat and my car too, I need a place to live, you know.

Amia advances!!!
