Admin Shop Discussion

[Missing]

Okay so the Admin Shop is technically up now (though more so you can see what's there than to actually sell things at this point). Please make suggestions on things you would like to see or think should be changed here.

Discuss!

I am really, really iffy about the two whers thing. It's really not canon and I imagine it would be an absolute hassle for the person. I'm not sure why you're having people purchase female blueriders, because it's not explicitly stated here that such a pairing is rare.

For feline cubs, what about the non-feral, house cat-type felines? They would certainly not be as common as canines, but the Pernese would still keep them for the same reason people have always kept cats: to hunt down vermin that might destroy food stores and whatnot. Plus, this is much more realistic than someone running around with a critter akin to being a baby jaguar.

Dragonless seems a bit cheap to me, but then, I don't see it being bought often, so that's probably not an issue.

One thing I've seen at other sites is the ability to buy the opportunity to assist in creating a dragon clutch. Depending on how you want to handle it, it could be as simple as they create one hatchling but you decide who it Impresses, etc., or they could have their hand in the entire clutch. It's a great way to let people get involved but the price means they need to have been dedicated in order to be allowed the responsibility.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

I can remove the two whers, I was iffy on it too but I noticed quite a few sites had 'multiple' so I thought I would at least put two as an option. But like I said, I'm basically leaving whers in your hands more or less so I'll remove it.

The Bluerider thing was more to keep us from having a million (exaggeration obviously) female Blueriders and no males. While it's not really rare it is still considered less common than a male Bluerider. I can lower the price on it to whatever you guys think is appropriate but honestly I'd like to keep some sort of limits on them.

Basically the reasoning for no domestic felines or birds (avians) was simple... they would probably try to eat the Gliders. I'm fine adding kitties if you guys want them but CC will probably never have hunting birds brought in (not that you mentioned it I thought I should just get it out there in case someone was thinking it).

As to the big cats those will be a rarer thing, but since they are so SO common on the Southern continent I found it unrealistic that some silly trader at some point wouldn't try to sell the cubs. But basically they are feral and will always reach a point where they just can't be managed anymore and they can be useful to those who travel in ways that a canine can never be on this continent.

Yeah that's what I figured, plus I still put a number limit on it.

Actually I already plan on allowing that without purchasing it at least with hatchling creation. In fact I'm rewarding people who do that themselves and make less work for me (I still would have to approve them). Now to them choosing who Impresses those dragons that's a GREAT reward idea. Do you think we should put it up there per dragon or as a 'half the clutch'/4 eggs/whatever bundle?
