Title: Jobs
Post by Issy on 11/27/03 at 22:20:09
Just a thought to maybe bring some 'fun' into the game, and a way to make money that still requires some work.

A job that only 1 character in your account can get.
The jobs would not be ran on a 'work for yourself' basis. But you work for a company located in different towns, or in the wilderness somewhere.

The more items over the required limit you turn in you get a small increase in gold (varying on how many you bring in.) And if you don't bring in the limit, you don't get as much gold, and have a chance of getting fired (with all jobs as well.)

You get paid on a weekly basis, and the pay income would vary on your level, and if you level your pay increases, when you reach 30 your pay stays at a constant rate (price of the jobs vary). Minimum level to have a job would be 10.
Jobs could vary as:
Butcher: you are required to give the butcher deer meat, and a certain amount. 24 deer meats over a length of 2 days. You have to do this continously, and deliver atleast 72 deer meats a week to get full pay(applies to all other jobs. No meat, no gold. The lesser amount of items you deliver, the greater chance you have to Base wage would be 10K a week for a level 30, 5K for 20, and 2.5K at 10
Fur bearer Similar to the butcher, you have to deliver rabbit furs. Limits are the same as a butcher.

Suggestions, and other idea's for jobs are always welcome since i grew a humongous brain fart and couldn't think of the others.

an idea similar to this is planned with a demand and supply stock level system for shops.

Demand & Supply could be a very lucrative business for those who decided to specialise in chemistry and thus mana/healing potions. Fun fun fun!

no offense, but thats a really stupid idea
nightmist is for fun, not like real life....i play nm cause im bored and have nothing better to do, and its fun, but arent games supposed to separate reality from fantasy?
maybe it would work, but id deinatley cast it aside

Title: Re: Jobs

Title: Re: Jobs
Post by dec on 11/28/03 at 16:34:46

No, in reality somebody would mine for it, but in the fantasy world there could be a big worm that craps out short swords and pees silver helmets.

Lol... I don't have a problem with this idea, as long as you don't HAVE to get a job.  I know I don't want to run around killing bunnies all day, but maybe somebody else will find that fun.  :-/

Its not really for FUN, its for another source of profit...

Title: Re: Jobs
Post by Snowy on 11/29/03 at 09:54:39
and fun  ;D i think i'd be fun to sit in meadows all days collecting furs!  ;D

Title: Re: Jobs
Post by Vodka on 11/29/03 at 21:47:39
Yeah, it'd be something different. I'm sure the majority of everyone gets bored of doing the same ol' thing.

If it came into play, lol, I'd have a job on/in NM.. and not irl... sad. ;p

yea this sounds really cool, Would new area's have to be built though? or new shops?

Maybe an item like a "bacpack/Rucksack" could come into the game, a backpack taes up 1 item of your invent, but lets u old 5 more items (you can only have 1) and a rucksack is the same but lets you hold 10 more items. Would mean you didnt have to kee on running back to the shop so much.

awesme idea tho, im definately in on it!

Title: Re: Jobs
Post by Bean on 11/30/03 at 19:49:23
Or better yet, the backpack/rucksack will only hold items pertaining to your job.

Reminds me of when I first started. I was always running around picking up loose items and throwing them in unused location on the map. I decided NM needed garbage cans and yelled ./yell Hey JLH I got an idea. Put garbage cans in all the pub so we can throw stuff away. I was kindly paged with.....
/delete (item name).

Back on topic though I think the idea of jobs in NM are an excellent idea. It would give older bored players something to do and new players a way to make some honest gold.

All I have to say is, I think it's a real excellent idea!

Training - Sucks when you do it for too long..Makes meh eyes all blury!! Plus it's only clicking...and clicking...and clicking...

Chatting - Fun of course, but everyone is usually to busy talking cuz they're 'training'

Working on teh job - Hmmmm, sounds fun and different to me, and the cool thing is you get paid! :)

So..yeah...I'm all for this idea!

but if this did happen wouldnt this game be becoming more and more like Runescape? o.0 dont get me wrong, i love the idea.. i just dont like Runescape and dont want to see my beloved nightmist taken over by it *tear runs down eye*

Title: Re: Jobs
Post by Bean on 12/04/03 at 00:05:38
F*ck me, why is there always one like you in a crowd...

HAVING A FUNCTION FROM ANOTHER GAME DOES NOT MAKE THIS GAME TURN INTO THAT GAME..... Jesus...

The fact that its in THIS game makes it totally original because other factors in this game CHANGE the idea....

And besides its a good idea.... So DO NOT dismiss it just because its happened before in another game...
