Just curious if there are any thoughts on allowing the players to set a ((very much within reason)) description for their character? I feel like it would be easy to keep tabs on that with people playing who care about RP and reporting someone with a stupid description that makes no sense.

Another option might be additional character creation prompts such as age, eye or hair color/style, skin tone, etc.  Its not as flexible as a freeform description, but its easier to manage and removes potential for abuse.

Yeah I would be fine with that. Maybe with the occasional way to add something more descriptive as a reward or result of game events etc. Anything to help paint more of a picture to other players of what your character looks like.

Either way, something to think about moving forward.  Having enough items in the merging system will help a lot as well.  If you want your character to be some sorcerous evil ranger concept you could have a weapon such as a "blighted" "black amber" longsword.

While its not the only factor, it is one to remember and as the game grows with new areas, monsters, and drops, so do the potential merging combinations that you can use to roleplay a theme.

Perhaps I could add this extra description as a premium status effect?

I could see that being a nice addition to the premium benefits, but having a non-premium version that's similar would be nice.  Maybe something with a character limit so they can cover one or two identifying features in a sentence.  But premium gets a much longer option where they can cover a bit more nuance to their character appearance with a full paragraph.

It might be the better option, as coding multiple lists for players to choose identifying features into the character creation process, wouldn't be as simple as a new command that inserts a line of text into the <examine player> information.  Also dropping a lot of new code before we get more players, and while we're trying to get more, might cause issues when testing something like that if a new player encounters a bug in character creation while choosing hair length. 

Something to think about though moving forward as it becomes more practical to add in large updates of new features.

I think that is both a good idea to use premium status, and a solid way to still allow something for normal players. Previous DE at least had the cooked in selection for eyes and hair. Premiums status allowing for a full paragraph would be great.

I have added an 'ExtraDesc' to every character.
Free Characters have a maximum of 100 characters.
Premium Characters have a maximum of 500 characters.

The use of gonadotropin during a long cycle longer than 6 weeks is recommended by many experts priligy pills
