Topic: Suggestions for Seeds & Training

Waah! I typed out a really really long thought out post about this just now, but when I tried to create, it told me I wasn't logged in, and I lost it!

So... now you get the short version!

I really have no clue how difficult it would be to code any of this... mainly I was hoping to inspire some discussion.

Basically, I thought it would be neat to have a new use for seeds and new skills to train in.

So I came up with: Nurture vs Nature

You get a pot to begin with (you can buy more somehow). And in these pots you can plant 2 types of seeds.

Type one grows into a consumable plant that gives temporary battle stat gains. The usefulness depends on your Nature stat.

Type two grows in to a pet type plant that can be used for battle. This would result from Nurture stats.

I thought maybe these seeds could be from digs and you wouldn't be able to tell what you were growing until a few days into the process. Or maybe they could just be donation seeds (or both)

The more you let the plant grow, the more useful it becomes (with limits).

Other things could come of this, like perhaps requirement for watering or another use for fertilizer... and maybe allowing them to be sold could add a whole new strategy for some players.

I love the idea. I think this could be a potential update.

That was the short version? I like the idea, gives a purpose to digs.

I was thinking the same thing DK. I'd love to see the long version.

But yeah, this is a brilliant idea. I never even read my dig reports.

I read the bottom.

I like it! Jon, you like it?

This version IS shorter because I skimped on some of the detail that I had in my first draft... but this way its more open for suggestions & criticism.

Seak this was your homework. Admit it.

I do like it. It will, however, be a lot of work, so be patient :)

Please don't make the seeds donator-exclusive. There are enough incentives to donate already, people who are aren't going to do it much more and people who haven't already aren't likely to change their minds. Like me.

Plus, it's another hook to keep new players without making them pay real moolah.

Jon's gotta feed his Kid's somehow...

Basically me and Stu are the only ones who buy them.

So if we don't sell them to anyone we can slowly become greater then Plant God himself.

Interesting idea for the game though, would be a nice add on.
