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 |

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

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

"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. |

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. |

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? |

| Post subject: | Re: Amia advances!!! |
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? |

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. |

How will this be dealt with since we'll have to pay after 3 free characters? 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. |

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

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? |
