Aug. 27, 2013: News for Shoppers

First, I'm adding several new alchemist shops to the gameworld.  Such shops will carry more alchemical reagents and finished products.

The ones in the big port cities are found on Calithian ships, complete with working alchemist labs (that PCs can use).  Officials in Calithia don't like the idea of stinky (and potentially dangerous) alchemist labs in the midst of their city, so the alchemists there have moved to ships...and one has sailed to Macedone to set up shop.

Second, I'm adding code that should automatically restock most shops in the game about once every in-game week (approx. 5 1/2 hours real time).  Such shops will still have the same inventory as normal.

Third, I'm experimenting with randomizing the inventories of several more merchants (via the new scripting I'm doing today).  Not as randomized as ones like Entrom or Smitty, but still some may have a little bit more variety than before.

These are great ideas ! I am still amazed at how devoted to the Aenean population you are! Whether we say it aloud like we should or not, we truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into the gameworld we so love!

Question on this... You said you didn't touch Entrom's shop, but when I went there today (after being out of game for many months)... he had just 1 item for sale. Is that supposed to be?

That's just odd.  I'll look into it tonight.

Ooops, my mistake. Entrom has TWO store options. Missed the second (normal) one due to the big honking bit of red OOC text above it
