Hello and a Guild Idea

[ringilltull]

Greetings all. I and my son have been playing here on the HG server for almost a month now. My characters are mostly named "something" Tull.
My son is 10 yrs old but I allow him to play due the mature level player base here. Thank you to everyone as it has made our playing experience a good one. We have had alot of fun.
My son is very excited about sharing his ideas and the following is one of them he wishes to post. Here it is as written by him:

My Guild Idea

Hi it’s me Bhelor. I have thought up a guild idea. My guild idea is that we have a shop in every guild to the member’s personal design. I have been thinking of this for quite a while. I have made up a design for the wee people guild already. If we get shops there I will try and help in anyway I can of design. The wee people guild merchant will be a halfling. The merchant’s name there will be Shorty. He will only sell short swords, slings, small shields, large shields (not tower shields), short bows, and well “short guy” stuff. If it is ok with the DM’s and the wee people guild leader’s permission I would gladly help build this merchant. He is going to sell weapons, armor rings, amulets, scrolls, potions, misc. items, magic bags, staffs, and helmets and shields. If you agree with my idea I hope you enjoy it.

Sincerely,
Bhelor (a.k.a. Derzagar, Deekin,
or
Werewolf of London)

This is a great idea. Unfortunately, one of the biggest causes of lag is items in shops. That's why there hasn't been a single new shop since I took over updating last December, and why there will probably only be one more, ever. We actually cut a large number of items from the shops, in part for this reason, so adding another shop for each guild, even ones with only small numbers of items, is not an option. It's similar in some ways to the reason we have Encumbria, to limit the number of objects ingame that the server's memory has to track. On the other hand, there is still a moderate amount of junk cluttering the shops that we do have, and adding items to them is far less laggy than adding new shops, so I will be happy to add any items for wee people that you do make to the existing shops, probably in Finely Crafted Imports. Just submit the name, description, and statistics for each item in posts, and I'll look them over and add them, with possible modifications for game balancing.
On a seperate note, it's nice to see another father-son team playing NWN - I know of two others on the server. If you have any suggestions to make the server a bit more family-friendly, I am all ears. Mostly I just message people when they curse in shout, reminding them not to.

Best,
Funky

As a Mom, I also find this server to be very well mannered. It is the reason I love it so.
Peace,
