Should not be very difficult to link them to something:

- let say for example, last kitin invasion with the titles and the tokens: honor points could have been given by the Kitin watcher everytime one token was handed out...

- Maybe not having missions that ppl can chain over and over but to have them coming back alive every time there is an event or something so at least it wouldnt be a dead feature anymore.

Or a seasonal mission: one hawker appearing per region one season per year and asking for some kitin drops.

Nah, PvP = Honor Points.
DIgging and Crafting SHOULD = Honor Points if it was kami/kara gear crafted.

You seem to have forgotten you could also gain Honor point from digging and so we did at the point... and I bought that awesome turbo mechanical kara cool pick :D
I agree on the killing part though :) you gain no honor in killing diggers (even if it's fun it's not something to be rewarded for ;) )

Option 3.

In favour generally, but they need to be balanced properly.
PvP is more fun than social gaming apparently, so it doesnt need any reward.
But bringing in stuff that excludes segments of the game population is bad practice, stupid idea in fact, so the PvP kiddies should be given something shiney to distract them while the saga coninues.

:p

We already have Fame, why have Honor Points (seems like a misnomer to me, as they're just a special form of currency for the factions)? Fame ought to be more complex and dynamic, affected by more than just completing missions, and have a more varied spectrum of consequences. If you make a dent in Kami Tolerance someday, for example, why shouldn't that affect your Kami fame? (Voted No.)

I wouldn't mind honour points coming back, but, as someone who's mastered shields, I'd really not like to see more event shields out there.

There's still no way to craft a better shield, even with boosts. And since anyone can use a Q250 shield still, having event shields available makes a master in shield crafting only good for sp.

Reason is it is discouraging for newer players to see peeps walking around with cool things (i.e +40 parry shields, + 220 focus picks) and nothing they can do will get them these. I have no problem with their being designs, titles, styles etc which are "one time deals" but things which give a player an advantage should be available to all.

Honor points also would solve some problems.....for example it would give those who wish to take a faction neutral stance an opportunity to earn [not freebie, emphasis on working to get something] TP access.

Though I agree with Latahniel, that many of these things are detrimental to crafters. I'd much rather see one able to buy an "enchantment" in teh sense of the word definition not as is currently used in Ryzom with a spell. That is instead of buying a kami shield, let me take my own 30 parry shield shield and let me get kami to boost it by 10 Parry
