Posted March 2, 2015 I say, lets have no drop, .01kg weight, non containerable cloaks (so they can't be given like tents or mirrors) and make them for sale on Wurm Store. Different designs and qualities, with increasing price for the better cloaks. Make it a "Kickstarter" type of deal, to raise money for development of v2.0, with new engine, textures, colors, etc. Cloaks can be equipped and unequipped, but always perma bound to the character. Cloaks could even have special effects that aren't game altering, like built in light source that can be turned on or off. (add more possible ideas that won't overpower the player or give PvP advantage) When you see someone with a cloak, you pause and thank them for their generous donation to the game's future. Prices should not be cheap. Let's hire some devs and get 2.0 up and running 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 Sounds like a good idea. Although I've already dumped quite a bit of cash into this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 yup, lets add shoulder pads and heraldic shields 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 +1 for purchasable aesthetics in the shop! Like with the green gnome thing, but in the official shop instead. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 Huge +1. I just want a damn cloak! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 If 2k cloaks sold for 25e each, there is 6months of pay for a new dev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 +1 nice idea! But i would like it to be like the green gnome deal of certain amount and limited purchasing period (both or one of those terms)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 Not sure why he is so hesitant on this seem like he is missing out on an income possibility. As long as it is not game changing i don't see issues with it even if it was tradable. ( i understand that the trade restriction is to spur more sales through the shop but even the ones bought to resell is still being bought) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 totally agree + more. aslong as just for looks it can only be a good thing for Rolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 I'd love logos for the different servers (get on it, art team!) so I could wear my cloak with Deliverance heraldry proudly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 2, 2015 Some items offered for sale exclusively through the Wurm Shop would be worthwhile as a direct source of game income which can't be acquired by other alternative cost reducing means. As for cloaks, personally I wouldn't be interested in purchasing those. Maybe some nice sort of display statue along the lines of Hota ones that would always stay lit as a meal heater, holding say only 5 meals maximum and preventing their decay. =Ayes= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I don't know about cloaks or batman capes....but some unique wurm type item would be neat. Edited March 2, 2015 by Uberknot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2015 And another point. These types of items should not be too expensive since this would deter their purchase. Think along the lines of those green hat Gnomes, as I believe they were around the $5.00 price point. Also making limited edition items would make them more desirable and encourage purchase before they became unavailable, again like the green hat Gnomes. =Ayes= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) +1. And if you are going to design cloaks, remember the women also want Medieval dresses and some more hairstyle options, and for the fellows: Beards, mustaches and more hairstyle options! And rings without the stone set in it, so we can put our own gem in it. How about necklaces with spots to set coins or troll teeth or bear teeth in? I still carry a troll tooth around from the first ever troll I killed - it is stinking and rotten but hey, it was cool experience. And don't forget our horses! Some ribbons or pimping headgear, perhaps? Edited March 3, 2015 by Fairyshine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) +1 to wurm shop cloaks and heraldry Cloaks could even have special effects that aren't game altering, like built in light source that can be turned on or off. -1 to any effect or buff from said items (including light) Edited March 3, 2015 by lawurm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2015 I've said for a while now that microtransactions need to be utlilised in this game. As long as it's not Pay to Win, then there's no harm in it at all. People love shiny stuff and cosmetics. Get on it team. Heck, this is like free lunch money. What in the marf are you seriously waiting for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
