New server?

[andypur1]

Did I read this wrong? If it's the majority faction requesting more resources, that would be a bit unnecessary since they already control the resouces. If it's the minority faction requesting aid, wouldn't the existence of inter-server trading allow for another shard to help fix the imbalance?

It think that is from a homin asking for a mat that is not available from a karavan owned OP.

We are highly interested in modified vedice sap at quality 250, at leanon it's only in the "purified" version present.

I think that I'm right in saying that modified vedice sap comes from Kami drills, whilst purified comes from Karavan drills. If 90% of the OPs are karavan owned, then most of the OP mats will have a karavan flavour.

Personally I'm against such trades, as I think each 'copy' of atys should stand alone. There must be a way of offering rewards in Ring scenarios that do not take crafted items from one server to another. I'd imagine that it would be fairly easy to add an extra piece of information to all items stating which server it originates from and only allowing items to go back to the server that they belong too. Ring rewards would be serverless until they have been delivered back to the server of the homin who has 'won' them.

Thanks that clarifies it. I was assuming that if 90% are kara owned, then any kara would have everything they needed and therefore the poster must have been kami.

Either way, I think we're better off leaving the faction imbalance out of this discussion. The minor factions on one server stand to benefit more from inter-server trades because they would have more needs and another server might have the excess to share. So, if you disagree with inter-server trades, then it should be (as you did) on the general merits of the case.

It's actually the other way around; Modified is Karavan drilled, Purified is Kamist drilled.

Ahh, well, that's what I get for posting from work and not being able to check what's in the Guild Hall

Thanks for putting me right
