Yes, yes you should.

qft.

I think people are expecting, perhaps, a little too much of level 2/20 quests.

By all means, complain your heads off when level 19/20 quests reward you (nett) 2 horses or 1 leather armour.  But anyone expecting "2/20 = maximum pwnage and everything I want for free" was setting themselves up for a disappointment.

What you're seeing here is the diplomatic quest mechanism in action. 

At level 2.

Out of 20 levels of quest.

My thoughts regarding the trade ranking.
 
Allowing it to be based purely on shipping quantities favoured internal logistics over actual marketplace transactions. Changing from this was good... the score is trade not logistics.
 
I am not sure that the current proposal of points based on surpluses is quite right either. What of tying this to the average volume of the open market transaction in question? This would allow us the best features of both point systems. Players with large trade transactions will be rewarded. Players who sell marked up goods will be rewarded.
 
My thought is that the surplus only approach will primarily benefit subsidised trades among allies to artificially boost rankings. Actual mercantile players greasing the wheels of Illyriad on the open market may have their efforts overlooked.

What the heck does onanistic mean? (answer truthfully now)

Let's just say "self-celebratory."


LOL

Thanks

Hi Raritor,

Apologies - the Identify and Dispel magic spells have been temporarily delayed.  We're looking at a release of these spells tomorrow afternoon.

Best wishes,

GM Stormcrow

The release of Identify and Dispel has been pushed back till Tuesday afternoon - other issues have got in the way; and we don't like releasing code just before bedtime!

My apologies to all.
