The pointless thread about realmpoints

[Clavius]

Allready a while ago i heard the we would soon be able to buy things with realmpoints. Your own horse / house and more of that sort. Tell me is this going to happen?

 

[-Wedge-]

It'll probably be bounty points instead of realm points

The current stuff for sale from BP's suck ass... Wow I can have a health bottle... It's almost never 'close' for me, I either die horibly within a few seconds... Or I let the person who's trying to kill me know how it is to eat dirt...

So my idea about the current stuff you can buy from BP's, uh... they suck...

A horse would R0CK! Is that ever gonna happen?

A house will happen, they were already working on that... not sure if it's BP/RP based (I think it was cash)... With that will also come a Guild Vault

 

[Clavius]

A guild vault? is it something like: you put something in it and the whole guild can get it out?

 

[old.Prof]

In 1.48 guilds BPs will be mostly spend on guilds claiming keeps, yes you hear it ! Guilds can have their own keeps, at a serious BP cost.

About the horse bit, I dunno were you got that don't think you'll be able to own yer own horses for a long while, thou it was originally planned by Mythic.

The realm abilities that come in 1.50 aren't bought with BPs but which a limited amount of points you get from yer guild rank (10 points each guild rank I believe).

 

[Fafnir]

rlm/bounty points...

I've heard that with the guild keeps and houses you will be able to sell your crafted items thru merchants there...

 

[-Wedge-]

Yes, a guild-vault is a vault where the whole guild could put stuff in and get stuff out... In my oppinion this is taking to long already

But there are some right issues there, who can get stuff in / out, etc...

As for owning your own horses, I did hear the same thing, but seeing Mythic isn't really talking about that anymore, I'm betting we shouldn't expect it any time soon

And even that, it'll take ages to get to Europe too...

 

[Clavius]

Too bad 'bout the horsies, but is there a indication how much a guildhouse is going to cost? A tiny emblem on your outfit costs 300G , a house must cost more money than there is in the world!(the virtual world that is ) I want a place to call home...

 

[old.Prof]

Not much is known about guildhousing. All I've seen so far are a few screenies of Albion guildhouses, and that was a few months ago.

Mythic keeps mentioning housing so they apparently continue working on it, adding reportedly a lot more then originally planned. They should crop up pretty soon (I hope) on the usa servers thou. Details about housing are already in the new DAoC prima guide which is a further indication it's going life pretty soon.

They'll be several "models" of guildhouses for each realm, all costumisable to some degree. The guildhouses will prolly contain the guild vaults they've promised us since release and you'll be able to place NPC merchants to sell yer stuff.
The places where houses can be build are limited to avoid overbuilding a la UO.
I've heared you would need to pay BPs to buy houses, thou things are a bit unclear about that.

They're first doing guildhouses, "private" houses should follow at a later stage.

That's basically all I know about it :E

 

[old.Prof]

Ok - I dig it up at the Camelot Herald. Be warned that this info dates back to 22th of march, so it's pretty old. Housing are clearly taking more time then planned ...

Player Housing Update

Mark announced that Guild Housing would be available to you all by now; obviously it isn't. We decided that we wanted to add many more new nifty features to Guild Housing than were previously planned, which takes longer to implement and test. We will keep you updated

We're adding on to the original design with the following items:

- four house options instead of three, and more house locations per Realm.

- When you right click on a house you'll get information about who owns it, what size it is, whether you can enter it or not. You'll be able to set options on the house to specify if anyone can enter it, a specific list of friends, just your guildmates, etc.

- Houses will be able to be customized by trim color, roof type and color, and material (wood, stone, etc.) You'll be able to add guild banners, guild shields and emblems (on the door) to the house as well.

- Houses will have "levels" (1 - 4), with the higher levels costing more money to maintain. Depending on the level of the house, you'll be able to add upgrades such as porches, vaults, tapestries, carpets, smiths, enchanters, healers, rechargers, Consignment Merchants (to sell items for crafter players).

- The interior of houses will support hooks to hang weapons and objects on the wall (depending on house size), as well as support furniture such as tables and chairs.

- You'll also be able to upgrade a house with a bindstone, crafting tools (forge, lathe, loom, etc.) and a chest for guild storage.

If you want to see how houses will look like, here are some piccies of Albion and Midgard houses (bottom of page) :

Whoohoo I particulary like the right one in the 'two albion houses' pic. My home is my castle.

 

[old.Jimjum]

so u can choose where to put your guildhouse wherever you/the guild want or is it in the same area for every guildhouse?

 

[old.Slie]

In 1.50 Realm Abilities are brought into play, and they are based upon your realm rank.

You get one realm abilitiy point per realm level, and the choices of new abilities are enormous, and theres some good ones in there too

They are purely based on your realm rank though.

BPs are still shite.

They'll propably make couple new zones with designated areas for guildhouses. Hopefully no UO-style urban jungle shit...

Best go read the short interview of Sanya Thomas at Catacombs, some good info there
