Title : Humanoid Resting / Casual Experiment
----------------------------------------
Do you MUD on a bus? Between appointments? At work? In 5 minute increments?
Sometimes pulled away by children or significant others? Do you sometimes
just want to scratch the Tsunami itch for a few minutes but not get
heavily involved?
A CASUAL EXPERIMENT
Throughout the years there has always been division between nonhumanoid
and humanoid classes. In the olden days these concepts were very separate.
Non-Humanoids couldnt bank. They couldnt use shop heals. They could
quickheal .... slowly. Then they began o blend together with an idea of
"play what you enjoy, how you enjoy it". A mantra that I think benefits a
30 year-old game populated by people across the globe in various stages of
life (but mostly old).
I HAVE ADDED A REST SKILL TO HUMANOIDS
"do rest"
This skill is basically identical to quickheal -- except its an ability!
If youve spent years avoiding humanoid classes due to their reliance on
heals and your limited play time -- now you can play them without a great
fiscal or time commitment.
BUT BURLOK, WHAT ABOUT QUICKHEAL
If people think humanoids resting is a good idea Ill convert quickheal to
an ability as well. Im trying to minimize the number of things to unwind
by letting people play around to rest and determining if this change is
one that people hate.
BUT BURLOK, MY SHOP BUSINESS
Granted, this may impact pub shops. Most people Ive talked to over the
past few weeks feel like qickheal (fast as it is) is really too slow for
really grinding through hero levels. So I dont think there will be a huge
impact. Remember only 4 of the 10 guilds already didnt have quickheal.
Please look at the positive of attracting and retaining casual players /
or even drawing some oldbies back to play some classes theyve never messed
with which is really the goal.
"DO REST" IS BORING
I agree something more thematic for each class would be better. Thats a
big project though and, again, most of the classes already had quickheal
which is equally boring.
The goal is FUN! Let me know how you feel. Try out a humanoid class youve
never played before and ENJOY. :)
