Agreed Quackers.  And keep in mind that players can receive up to 365 FREE prestige per year (that is if they are crazy enough to be on every day and click immediately after the 24hour delay expires.  more realistically, 300 Free a year).  But if one medal costs 300 and they are spending their prestige on in game advancements, most likely players would donate about 30 prestige a year.

I don't see how your coming to that conclusion. Prestige has been around for years, all they've added is just another option to spend it on, and medals don't give any more advantages over a f2p account. It is another way for the devs to make money but I'm sure the servers arnt free and they're not forcing you to pay.

As usual I'm glad to see the devs are still actively working on illy and can't wait to see what coming in the future.
 
How did I come  to that conclusion? there is now an item that can only be bought with prestige. You name any other item that is in game that can be obtained like this pls


No other item but Luna did say there will be ways to get medals for free. Medals that cannot be made on the game. Well they are thinking of it but still that to me is a plus side. Also think of it this way; all it takes is 50 people giving up 2 days worth of free prestige and your alliance can have a medal. If you play smart and have loyal members, you can be swimming in prestige.

Have an alliance run tournament where everyone donates 5 prestige (weeks worth for most people) and the winner gets 10% of the prestige and the rest goes to a medal. So many different creative ways to get the prestige you need for your alliance to create medals.

Please stop looking at this as one person spending £4.99 and look at the alliance working together to gain your objective.

Well, if I'd ever catch a bonus prestige sell again, it might tempt me to invest a major part of the bonus into medals for players in other alliances.  Otherwise I better stick to the strategy to use prestige only for buildings.Tongue

Weird idea, the new Herald could sell recruitment ads, one day on page one for 100P, or similar...

While these chats are nice they do not replace the chats we used to have with the devs Thunder Cat and Storm Crow.

@Invictusa - Stay classy San Diego!

I love the new interface. Hopefully people enjoy the change more than from the first version too the second :)

I love in the first 10 seconds, "... welcome to illyriad dev chat?"
reminds me of...
"... I'm Ron Burgundy?"

lol

EDIT:  Great chat I would have loved to ask GM Cerb some questions.  Perhaps let us know more than a single day in advance when something as momentous as this will be happening?

I would love to have asked him if he had any considerations of creating multiple possibilities for avatars.  Such an elf female clothing option for the more demure player that could be clothed in a fully covering dress (dont forget the ankles.)  Or an elf female that had red hair or different cheek bone heights.  I think the 8 current avatars are 8 masterpieces, but customization like this, I believe can help immerse players into their role as a unique character in the game.

Thanks for the post, the video was very helpful.

The cost of prestige for these medals is a bit bothersome for me, but I can understand how you want them to be special.

Wish I could expand the picture or link to the Youtube page and allow me to do it there.
